　　Soon you could be competing with a robot for a job.

　　很快，你就會和機器人競爭上崗啦!

　　Amy Webb, a digital media futurist and founder of Webbmedia Group, predicts at least eight career fields are "ripe for disruption" very soon -- like in the next 10 to 20 years.

　　據(jù)數(shù)字未來主義者兼韋伯集團的創(chuàng)立人埃米·韋伯預言，至少有八大領域，約摸在接下來的10到20年間很快就會分崩離析。

　　1) Toll booth operators and cashiers: People who work in the transactional space shouldn't be big fans of the Apple Watch or Apple Pay.

　　收費站管理員和收營員：交易場所工作的人估計不會怎么喜歡"蘋果手表"或"蘋果支付"吧。

　　That's because the rise of wearable technology and mobile payment systems may make jobs like toll booth operator and grocery store cashier virtually obsolete.

　　因為可穿戴科技和手機支付系統(tǒng)的興起使得收費站管理員和雜貨店收營員形同虛設。

　　2) Marketers: Powerful advertising tools of the future may allow brands to fashion their messages to customers with precision accuracy.

　　市場營銷人員：未來強大的廣告工具能讓品牌精確精準地向客戶投放信息。

　　Webb pointed to new experiments with technologies that study customer behavior to identify what kind of ads will be most effective.

　　韋伯指出，新型的依托技術(shù)手段研究客戶行為，以確定投放何種廣告最為有效。

　　"This is pretty much unlike anything we've seen before," she said. “If these tools work, they may translate to smaller creative and strategic teams at marketing and ad firms. ”

　　"這和我們之前看到的都不一樣，“韋伯說，“如果這些工具奏效的話，就可以轉(zhuǎn)化成更小、更有創(chuàng)造力、更有戰(zhàn)略技術(shù)的營銷和廣告公司團隊。”

　　3) Customer service: Many customer service jobs have been shipped overseas to India and other lower-paying countries. New technologies like predictive analytics could kill off more of these jobs.

　　客戶服務：許多客服工作已經(jīng)包給印度和其他一些低薪的海外國家了。新型技術(shù)，如預示分析，可以秒掉更多的此類工作。

　　4) Factory workers: Get ready for robots to steal more manufacturing jobs from humans -- at a cheaper price and without taking breaks to text their friends.

　　工廠工人：做好準備吧，機器人將從人類手中擄走更多的生產(chǎn)類工作——機器人成本更低廉，還不會趁休息時間給朋友發(fā)發(fā)短信。

　　5) Financial middle men: Don't knock Bitcoin -- Its underlying technology may steal your job.

　　金融經(jīng)紀人：別小瞧了比特幣(電子貨幣的一種形式)——這潛在的科技或許就偷了你的飯碗。

　　Blockchain, Bitcoin's computer program, is able to automatically process transactions and create a perfect, reliable digital record.

　　“區(qū)域鏈”是比特幣的電腦程序，它可以自動處理交易并且創(chuàng)立一份完善可靠的數(shù)字記錄。

　　Webb believes blockchain will disrupt the middle men in the banking, escrow, insurance and mortgagesectors.

　　韋伯認為“區(qū)域鏈”會在銀行業(yè)務、第三方托管、保險和抵押業(yè)務方面撼動經(jīng)紀人的地位。

　　6) Lawyers: If you're going into the legal world, veer toward litigation.

　　律師：如果你要涉足法律界，那就瞄準訴訟吧。

　　Webb believes non-litigation lawyers could soon be replaced by online form-based services like LegalZoom that can carry out simple tasks like trademark applications, wills and even divorce.

　　韋伯認為，非訴訟業(yè)務律師很快就會被LegalZoom這樣的線上律師服務取代，這些線上律師事務所可以執(zhí)行簡單的項目，諸如申請商標、處理遺產(chǎn)和離婚事務。

　　7) Journalists: The Internet wiped out countless newspapers, and new technology could kill even more journalism positions.

　　新聞記者：因特網(wǎng)滅了無數(shù)新聞報紙，而新技術(shù)或?qū)灉绺嘈侣剭徫弧?/p>

　　Webb, a former journalist at Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal, said the next culprit will bealgorithms that allow news outlets to automatically create stories and place them on websites without human interaction. Robot journalists are already writing thousands of articles a quarter at The Associated Press.

　　韋伯作為《新聞周刊》和《華爾街日報》前新聞記者說道，下一個滅記者的罪魁禍首將會是算法庫。算法庫可以讓新聞大綱自動生成故事并上傳到網(wǎng)站，根本不用人工動手。機器人記者已在美聯(lián)社一刻鐘就寫了成千的稿件了。

　　8) Phone workers: Many millennials don't have landline phones. That trend is only likely to continue with the advances of digital communication.

　　電話公司職員：好多千禧一代(上世紀八、九十年代出生的人)是沒有固定電話的。這一趨勢只有可能隨著數(shù)字通訊的進步發(fā)展而持續(xù)下去。

　　That means telecom companies like AT&T and Verizon could eliminate billing, operator and other positions on the telephone side of the business.

　　這也就意味著像美國電話電報公司和威瑞森這樣的通信公司會取消廣告投放、業(yè)務操作和其他電話方面的業(yè)務。

　　Fearing the future? These predictions will make people who work in these fields understandably cringe. But Webb isn't pessimistic about what lies ahead. One outcome may be that tomorrow's employers will value very different skillsets than today's.

　　害怕未來?不難理解，這些預言會使在上述領域工作的人畏畏縮縮。但韋伯也不是對未來持悲觀態(tài)度。一大結(jié)果即是未來的雇主會和今天的有所不同，會重視不同的技能。
