例1：上海在人才、技术和管理方面都有明显的优势，辐射面宽。

It enjoys obvious advantages in skilled people, technology and management and can have an impact over a wide area.

例2：再一个是培养军队和地方两用人才，也是个顾全大局的问题。我们军队培养了不少有专业技术的人才，把其中一些人才转到地方各行各业去，对地方也是个支援。

Another question is training people for both military and civilian jobs, which is also in the general interest. The army has trained a large number of personnel with special skills, and transferring some of them to the civilian sector would provide support for local communities.

例3：还有一个问题，发现和使用人才的问题。的确是人才难得啊。

Another problem is how to find and use professionally trained people. They are really hard to come by.

例4：一个人才可以顶很大的事，没有人才什么事情也搞不好。

Trained people can be very useful, indeed, we can do nothing without them.

例5：一九七五年我抓整顿。用了几个人才，就把几个方面的工作整顿得很有成效，局面就大不一样。

In 1975, when I was responsible for straightening things out in all fields of endeavour, I used a few capable people, and with their help I succeeded in restoring order in certain areas and making great changes. 

例6：我们现在不是人才多了，而是真正的人才没有很好地发现，发现了没有果断地起用。The problem is that there aren't many truly competent people, we don't try hard enough to identify them, and when we do, we hesitate to employ them.
