21、 their research is valuable.课文翻译:(一)“弗兰克从未上过飞行学校、医学院、法学院因为他还在上高中。”这是2002 年的电影有种来抓我的剧情简介。影片讲述了弗兰克小阿巴格纳尔(列奥纳多迪卡普里欧饰演)的故事,影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师,曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色,在26 个国家伪造了价值六百万美元以上的支票。他成了联邦调查局伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的人。在影片中,阿巴格纳尔被虚构的联邦调查局特工卡尔汉拉提(汤姆汉克斯饰演)追捕,但后来逃脱了。他最终成了联邦调查局专攻白领犯罪的顾问专家。那是一部很棒的电影,但那种事情会在现实生活中发生吗
22、?其实,有种来抓我是根据弗兰克阿巴格纳尔的真实故事改编的,他的行骗生涯持续了六年;被抓住后,曾三次逃脱监管(有一次是从飞机上的厕所逃走的);在法国、瑞典和美国的监狱中总共度过了六年时光。他现在开办了一家咨询事务所,为企业界提供防造假咨询。他挣到了足够的钱,赔付了所有的受害者,如今是一位数百万富翁。2003 年以来,身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到,为了防止改变人生的犯罪,像把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去,甚至使用价值一两块美元的笔之类的事情已经变得多么重要。越来越多的人正在变成身份盗窃案的无名受害者。我们花费许多时间和金钱,去
23、努力挽回我们的名字、我们的信用、我们的钱和我们的生活。我们需要想方设法来保护自己。我们可以增加防止此类犯罪的机会,但是它永远不会消失。这不仅仅是要求我们列一份“该做”和“不该做”的事情的单子,我们需要改变我们的心态。虽然网上银行现在很常见,但国内有一大群人生育高峰时期出生的一代人,占人口的15还是更喜欢用纸。而且,30的诈骗案都发生在这群人当中。支票上有身份盗贼所需的你的所有信息。如果你用圆珠笔,笔迹可以用一般的家用化学药品除去,钱数可以改变。每天发出的有问题的支票高达一千两百万以上,平均每秒13 张以上。支票造假是个大产业每年以25的速率增长。犯罪分子指望我们犯错误,好让他们更容易得手。那么
24、我们怎样才能在身份盗窃发生之前就防范它呢?采取一些预防措施。不要把你的邮件留在邮箱里过夜或过周末。小偷就等着危险信号的出现,以便通过你向外投寄的邮件找寻有用的个人信息或支票。用签字笔填写支票和重要表格,签字笔的墨水会渗进纸张的纤维中,无法用化学药品除去。还有,切碎或撕碎含有个人信息的所有文件,然后再把它们丢进垃圾桶。记住,网络上有大量机会可以被小偷利用来根据你自己的身份伪造假身份。我们都知道黑客行为和木马软件对电脑数据库中个人信息的威胁。但是在谷歌上搜索某人也会透露大量个人信息,在线社交网站如“我的空间”、“相册”和“毕波”也一样。正如我们离开办公室去厕所时要随身带上钱包一样,注销你的电脑以防
25、临时起意的盗窃也是值得的。最后一点,假如你遭遇较传统方式的抢劫在大街上挂失你的信用卡显然是要做的第一件事。但是别忘了,即使挂了失,信用卡也可以用作身份证来获得购物卡那你就有了犯罪记录。身份伪造可以肆行多年而不为受害者所知。一个无法回避的事实是:现在的诈骗者觉得身份犯罪简直是太容易了。如果你的身份尚未失窃,那只是因为他们还没有对你动手。就会轮到你的。(二)就数量而言企业需拥有大量的资讯可供随时调用,为什么这很重要呢?因为那样的话,亚马逊就知道你阅读什么,能够给你提供你喜欢的书,而不是试图让你买你不喜欢的书。那么,有什么不妥吗?要是我正走在大街上,有人主动过来要卖给我什么东西的话,是不是很吓人?也
26、许没没那么吓人。人们试图卖给我东西并不很吓人。就算他们不停地试图卖给我东西显然他们已经老于此道,或者他们推销的方式令人不太舒服,也没什么吓人的。推销并不吓人,除非你是推销员。要是我走在大街上,我的面孔被一个推销员的照相机拍照,这是不是很吓人?那也许令人恼火,也可能是合法的。吓人吗?也许不。推销员对面孔背后的人又了解多少呢?要是我走在大街上,我的面孔被一个推销员的照相机记录下来,而那照片可以与某银行或信用卡公司档案上我的正面相片自动比对,这是不是很吓人?这样的话,那推销员就可能了解我大量的底细:我的姓名、我在哪家银行存款、我住在哪儿等等。如果照相机不是推销员的,是不是很吓人?在日益集权化、全球化
27、、网络化的经济格局中,信息到处流通。迟早它会到达它的主人或目前拥有它的任何人能够随意处置它的地方。对方也许是遵守道德规范的也许。假如说我们从恐怖分子那里更不用说从动作电影那里学到了一招,那就是,工具也是武器。全球通用的信用卡和支持它们的数据库是去除商业摩擦的工具。换句话说,它们是以让各方最省事的方式从人们那里取钱的工具。所以,如果他们是想卖给我东西,那没什么问题。如果对方是亚马逊,那也没问题。但如果都不是的话,那就有问题了。我还没有提到身份盗窃,但这肯定是朝着那方向发展的。身份盗窃是指未经许可使用我的身份信息来行骗。我的信息流传得越广,可以找到它的地方就越多,发生盗窃的可能性就越大。与一个标识符相关的信息越多,一桩身份盗窃案所造成的改变也越多。在我们的社会里,虽然没有人因此而丧命或被它毁掉,身份盗窃是很令人担心的事情。还有比身份盗窃更糟糕的事;通用标识符也会导致那些更糟糕的事情。无论通用身份的前景如何,我们尚不知道该如何应付这样一个世界:在其中,无论我身在何处,一切都可能与我有关联。我们尚不知道该如何在这世界给予我们的无可置疑的方便及我们在面对一切组合、强化(要是合理的话那该多好啊)的信息时所感到的危险之间保持平衡。这危险模糊,但显然很近。
