A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
Seldom is it given to one generation to have such an opportunity to rise again, but now before you is that opportunity in television-a larger, richer, broader opportunity than ever existed in radio.
很少有一代人有这样的机会东山再起,但现在摆在你们面前的是电视上的机会——一个比以往任何时候都更大、更丰富、更广泛的机会。
Developments in medical technology have long been confined to procedural or pharmaceutical advances, while neglecting a most basic and essential component of medicine: patient information management.
长期以来,医疗技术的发展一直局限于程序或药物方面的进步,而忽视了医学中最基本和最基本的组成部分:病人信息管理。
I think there will always be a particular generation of actors who... think that they're going to be replaced by robots. But certainly the emerging actors... understand that that's part of the craft.
我想总会有那么一代演员……认为他们将被机器人取代。但毫无疑问,新兴的行动者……要明白这是工艺的一部分。
I don't think so, in so far as I always aspired to play the way I do now but just couldn't get the sounds out always due to technical limitations - now I can pretty much play what I hear in realtime.
我不这么认为,因为我一直渴望能像现在这样演奏,但由于技术上的限制,我总是无法发出声音——现在我几乎可以实时播放我听到的声音。
When we draw on the tablet, the drawing shows up on the computer screen. If we have chosen to tell the computer that the stylist is to behave like a piece of chalk, or a pen, or a wet brush, it will.
当我们在平板电脑上画画时,图画就会显示在电脑屏幕上。如果我们选择告诉电脑,发型师的行为举止就像一支粉笔、一支钢笔或一支湿毛刷,它就会这么做。
My work at MIT had focused on what we could build in space once we had inexpensive space transportation and industrial facilities in orbit. And this led to various sorts of work in space development.
我在麻省理工学院的工作重点是,一旦我们在轨道上有了廉价的太空运输和工业设施,我们就能在太空中建造什么。这导致了各种各样的太空开发工作。
Once we were in the studio, we realized we were getting certain effects through the shooting of the dramatic scenes on video, shooting off a screen and then getting wave patterns and stuff like that.
当我们在录音室的时候,我们意识到我们通过在视频中拍摄戏剧性的场景得到了特定的效果,在屏幕外拍摄,然后得到波的图案等等。
It is very similar to companies like Google and other internet companies. When you go and search on Google you don't pay for that. But sometimes you click on an advert and Google makes money on that.
它与谷歌和其他互联网公司非常相似。当你在谷歌上搜索时,你不需要为此付费。但有时你点击广告,谷歌就能从中赚钱。
I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. But I do love the rigidity of electronic drums.
我只是喜欢制作和塑造声音。事实上,我研究的很多声音都是从有机乐器开始的——吉他、钢琴、单簧管等等。但我喜欢电子鼓的硬度。
In the ideal classroom, the teacher is either spending all of their time doing deep interventions with students on a one-on-one basis or facilitating true interactivity - labs, simulations, projects.
在理想的教室里,老师要么把所有的时间都花在与学生一对一的深度干预上,要么促进真正的互动——实验室、模拟、项目。
If we were driving pure hydrogen automobiles, that automobile would actually help clean up the air because the air coming out of the exhaust would be cleaner than the air going into the engine intake.
如果我们驾驶的是纯氢汽车,这种汽车实际上会帮助净化空气,因为从排气口出来的空气会比进入发动机进气口的空气更干净。
So you will see us continue to advance the state of the art or take information that we have in our response data bases and have that drive automation or an automated response by some of our products.
所以你会看到我们将继续发展最先进的技术,或者获取我们在响应数据库中拥有的信息,并通过我们的一些产品实现驱动自动化或自动响应。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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。
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 thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
我们拥有的,而机器没有的,是展示智慧的能力。
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。
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。
