The real challenge was to model all the interest rates simultaneously, so you could value something that depended not only on the three-month interest rate, but on other interest rates as well.
真正的挑战是同时对所有利率进行建模,这样你就可以对一些不仅依赖于三个月期利率,而且还依赖于其他利率的东西进行估值。
In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science.
在生命科学中,我们发现了男性和女性之间的合理平衡。在工程学和计算机科学中,我们有一个大问题。只有很小一部分女性会从事计算机科学。
Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
今天的大多数软件都很像埃及金字塔,由数百万块砖堆砌而成,没有完整的结构,只是靠蛮力和成千上万的奴隶完成的。
Modern science is fast-moving, and no laboratory can exist for long with a program based on old facilities. Innovation and renewal are required to keep a laboratory on the frontiers of science.
现代科学瞬息万变,任何实验室都不可能长期存在于一个以旧设备为基础的项目中。创新和革新是保持实验室在科学前沿的必要条件。
I have the instruments, ideas, technology, computer techniques. We try to create or see something, which has not been known before - just to discover something together. This is always my dream.
我有仪器,想法,技术,计算机技术。我们试图创造或看到一些以前不为人知的东西——只是为了一起发现一些东西。这一直是我的梦想。
The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.
佛陀,这位神性,就像他在山顶或花瓣中所做的那样,非常舒适地居住在数字计算机的电路或循环传输的齿轮中。
The space industry is developing and delivering benefits that tie into our immediate needs and priorities here on Earth-for example, medical and materials research, and satellite communications.
航天工业正在发展和提供与我们在地球上的迫切需要和优先事项相联系的利益——例如,医学和材料研究,以及卫星通信。
The new industrial revolution is a two-edged sword. It may be used for the benefit of humanity, assuming that humanity survives long enough to reach a period in which such a benefit is possible.
新工业革命是一把双刃剑。它可能被用于造福人类,假设人类生存的时间足够长,能够达到这样一种利益可能存在的时期。
I started getting into Internet technologies and computers. I wasn't especially interested in being a musician, but I wound up finding my way back to being interested in music through computers.
我开始接触互联网技术和电脑。我对成为一名音乐家并不是特别感兴趣,但我最终通过电脑找到了重新对音乐感兴趣的方法。
The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.
陷入思考的时刻已经被现代科技缩短了。我们的生活被智能手机和其他东西分散了注意力。人们被束缚在不存在的状态中。
The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.
物理定律应该允许我们把东西一个分子一个分子地排列,甚至原子一个原子地排列,在某种程度上,我们不可避免地要开发一种技术,让我们做到这一点。
The particular features of the photographic method of detecting atomic particles enabled us to establish the existence of transient forms of matter which had escaped recognition by other methods.
探测原子粒子的照相方法的特殊特点使我们能够确定用其他方法无法识别的物质的瞬态形式的存在。

沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
对于一项成功的技术,现实必须凌驾于公共关系之上,因为自然是不会被愚弄的。
Wouldn't it be great if the technology we used to take care of ourselves was as good as the technology we use to make money?
如果我们用来照顾自己的技术和我们用来赚钱的技术一样好,那不是很棒吗?
The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.
我们开发谷歌的环境,我们能够开发搜索引擎的原因,是网络是如此的开放。一旦你制定了太多的规则,就会扼杀创新。
The march of invention has clothed mankind with powers of which a century ago the boldest imagination could not have dreamt.
发明的进步赋予了人类一个世纪前最大胆的想象所无法想象的力量。
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。
