【参考译文】

①About half of all property crime in the developed world now takes place online. 在发达国家，大约一半的财产犯罪发生在网上。

②When so much of our lives, and almost all of our money, have been digitised, this is not surprising. 当我们生活中如此多的东西，几乎所有的钱，都已经被数字化了，那并不奇怪。

③We are not helpless against this onslaught, but the police in Britain still act as if we were. 面对这种攻击，我们并非无能为力，但英国警方的行动方式宛如我们真的无能为力。

④Because much of cybercrime is international, it requires close and quick collaboration between national police forces, and even within the EU this is not the case. 由于多数网络犯罪是国际性的，因此需要各国警方之间密切而迅速的合作，可甚至在欧盟内部情况并非如此。

⑤The British police are reluctant to investigate property crimes in the real world and still more so online.英国警方不愿调查现实世界中的财产犯罪，更不愿调查网上的财产犯罪。

⑥This reluctance is backed up by a lack of resources. 这种不情愿的背景是资源的缺乏。⑦But until it can be overcome, crime will continue to flourish online since there is no detectable law enforcement there. 但是，除非这种不情愿被克服，犯罪将继续在网上猖獗，由于网上那里没有可察觉的执法。

⑧It took 10 years for the British government to acknowledge that so much crime was taking place online. 英国政府花了10年时间才承认网络犯罪如此猖獗。

⑨How many more years will it take before any government sets out to fight it? 还需要多少年，任何政府才会着手与之斗争?
