Old lady surfing Web at 40 gigabits-per-second
　　老妇以40G每秒的速度上网冲浪
　　
　　STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed.
　　斯德哥尔摩 瑞典 (瑞典) — 虽然Sigbritt Lothberg对于英特网信息高速公路来说是个后来者，但是这位75岁的老妇却能以令人炫目的速度上网。
　　
　　Lothberg’s 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.
　　卡乐斯塔德市的官员称，Lothberg位于该市家中40G每秒的光纤上网速度被认为是世界上家庭上网最快的速度。
　　
　　In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer — many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.
　　卡乐斯塔德市网络部门的头头Hafsteinn Jonsson说，在2秒之内，Lothberg在家用电脑上就能下载一部完整的电影，这个速度比其他家用电脑快了几千倍。
　　
　　Jonsson and Lothberg’s son, Peter, worked together to install the connection.
　　Jonsson和Lothberg的儿子Peter一起合作完成了Lothberg家中的网络连接。
　　
　　The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said.
　　Jonsson称，他们采用了一种新的调制技术，这种技术可以使得两部相距1240英里的路由器之间，不用任何中转站，就能传输数据。
　　
　　"We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.
　　Jonsson说：“我们就是要证明，英特网上网的速度是没有限制的。”
　　
　　Peter Lothberg, who is a networking expert, said he wanted to demonstrate the new technology while providing a computer link for his mother.
　　Peter Lothberg是一位英特网专家，他说他想利用给他母亲装网络的机会向世人展示一种新的技术。
　　
　　"She’s a brand new Internet user," Lothberg said by phone from California, where he lives. "She didn’t even have a computer before."
　　Lothberg在加利福尼亚接受电话采访时说：“她是个英特网新手，她以前甚至连电脑都没有。”
　　
　　His mother isn’t exactly making the most of her high-speed connection. She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers.
　　而他的母亲并没有好好利用这极高的网速，她平时只是用网络来看看新闻罢了。
