A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.
人们认为计算机科学是天才的艺术，但实际情况恰恰相反，许多人做的事情是建立在彼此的基础上的，就像一堵由小石头砌成的墙。
I love the look of planes and the idea of how a plane flies. The more I learn about it the better I feel; while I still may not like it, I have a sense of what is really happening.
我喜欢飞机的外观和飞机如何飞行的想法。我对它了解得越多，感觉就越好;虽然我可能仍然不喜欢它，但我对正在发生的事情有一种感觉。
Xerox did OK in moving to digital in the commercial space. They didn't do well in the consumer market, but they're not a consumer brand. They don't even know how to spell consumer.

In a chemistry class there was a guy sitting in front of me doing what looked like a jigsaw puzzle or some really weird kind of thing. He told me he was writing a computer program.
在化学课上，有一个人坐在我的前面，做着看起来像拼图的东西，或者一些很奇怪的东西。他告诉我他在写一个电脑程序。
We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum.
我们不是职业学校。如果有人想找一份高薪的工作，我希望有比上正规的计算机科学课程更简单的方法。
People are very protective of their cell phones, how it's used, where it's used and how much it costs. It has become a very personal issue for a whole lot of people in this country.
人们非常保护他们的手机，如何使用，在哪里使用以及花费多少。对于这个国家的很多人来说，这已经成为一个非常私人的问题。
There's a lot of interest from the medical community on how things develop in microgravity, and the hope, later, that is expected to apply to what the changes are in humans as well.

My own theory is that we are in the middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy.

The speed of communication, the speed of information transfer, the cheapness of communication, the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree.
通讯的速度，信息的传输速度，通讯的廉价，在世界各地移动物品的便利程度都是有差别的。
Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.
技术是什么。重要的是你要对人有信心，相信他们基本上是善良和聪明的，如果你给他们工具，他们会用这些工具做很棒的事情。
And as we continue to improve our understanding of the basic science on which applications increasingly depend, material benefits of this and other kinds are secured for the future.
随着我们对应用日益依赖的基础科学的理解不断加深，这类技术和其他技术的物质利益将在未来得到保障。
I want to avoid locking people into solutions that work only with Postfix. People should have a choice in what software they want to use with Postfix, be it anti-virus or otherwise.
我希望避免将人们锁定在只使用后缀的解决方案中。人们应该有一个选择，他们想用什么软件与后缀，无论是反病毒或其他。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It's logic-based creativity.

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。
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。
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?
