Quite likely the twentieth century is destined to see the natural forces which will enable us to fly from continent to continent with a speed far exceeding that of a bird.
很有可能，二十世纪注定会看到使我们能够以远远超过鸟的速度从一个大陆飞到另一个大陆的自然力量。
Downloading is definitely on the rise, but not because it's free - that's probably third on the list - but because it's immediate and the selection is virtually unlimited.
下载确实在增长，但这并不是因为它是免费的——这可能是第三个原因——而是因为它是即时的，而且选择几乎是无限的。
Microsoft is one of those rare companies to have truly revolutionized the world through technology, and I couldn't be more honored to have been chosen to lead the company.
微软是少数几家真正通过技术革新世界的公司之一，我能被选为微软的领导者，感到无比荣幸。
First, our focus on security is on the infrastructure itself. So it is all about how you protect the network, the device, and the application that is riding on the server.
首先，我们对安全的关注集中在基础设施本身。所以这完全是关于如何保护网络、设备和服务器上的应用程序。
Clearly, if we'd had the kind of computer graphics capability then that we have now, the Star Gate sequence would be much more complex than flat planes of light and color.

We developed already, before the first servicing mission, this has been further developed on the second servicing mission and we refined it this time, all the terminology.
在第一次维修任务之前，我们已经开发了，在第二次维修任务中，我们进一步开发了，这次我们对所有术语进行了改进。
I'm an inventor. I became interested in long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.
我是一个发明家。我之所以对长期趋势感兴趣，是因为一项发明必须在它完成的地方有意义，而不是在它开始的地方。
The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.
东德人首先使用生物力学。这意味着他们不需要猜测技术和形式，而是可以根据科学来改变运动员的表现。
So, I see technology as a Trojan Horse: It looks like a wonderful thing, but they are going to regret introducing it into the schools because it simply can't be controlled.
所以，我把科技视为特洛伊木马:它看起来是一件很棒的东西，但他们会后悔把它引入学校，因为它根本无法控制。
I'm talking about science on the leading edge, where it's not clear which way things are going be cause we don't know, and I'm dealing with areas which we don't know about.
我说的是前沿的科学，不清楚事情会怎样发展，因为我们不知道，而我正在处理的是我们不知道的领域。
There's a basic principle about consumer electronics: it gets more powerful all the time and it gets cheaper all the time. that's true of all types of consumer electronics.
消费类电子产品有一个基本原则:它一直在变得越来越强大，而且一直在变得越来越便宜。所有类型的消费电子产品都是如此。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings.

Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.
尽管技术上有了很大的进步，但归根结底还是一个男人或一个女人和麦克风，播放音乐，分享故事，谈论问题——与观众交流。
Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn't help us know what to say.
技术给了我们力量，但它没有也不能告诉我们如何使用这种力量。多亏了科技，我们可以在世界各地即时交流，但它仍然不能帮助我们知道该说什么。
The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.
信息技术的最大好处是它使人们能够做他们想做的事情。它让人们变得有创造力。它让人们更有效率。它让人们学习他们以前认为自己学不到的东西，所以从某种意义上说，这一切都是关于潜力的。
People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?
人们今天比以往活得更长。他们过着更快乐的生活，拥有更多的知识和信息。所有这些都是通信技术的结果。有什么不好的?
All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.
人类创造的所有最伟大的技术发明——飞机、汽车、电脑——很少提到他的智力，但却充分说明了他的懒惰。
