The Industrial Revolution didn't go so well for Luddites whose jobs were displaced by mechanized looms, but it eventually raised living standards and created more jobs than it destroyed.

工业革命对于卢德分子而言不利，他们的工作被机械化织布机取代，但工业革命最终提高了生活水平，而且相比被其淘汰的工作而言，它创造了更多的工作。

In the end, the Luddites may still be wrong.

Some were muddled Luddites, others were angry locals whose houses were slated for demolition.
