A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
The important thing about mobile is, everybody has a computer in their pocket. The implications of so many people connected to the Internet all the time from the standpoint of education is incredible.
手机的重要之处在于,每个人的口袋里都有一台电脑。从教育的角度来看,这么多人一直连接到互联网的影响是不可思议的。
I wanted to be a pilot. I loved flying and I loved all the technology and the equipment and the sense of adventure that came with it. I think that feeling still bleeds over into everything I do today.
我想成为一名飞行员。我喜欢飞行,我喜欢所有的技术、设备以及随之而来的冒险感。我想这种感觉仍然渗透到我今天所做的每件事中。
A human body is a conversation going on, both within the cells and between the cells, and they’re telling each other to grow and to die; when you’re sick, something’s gone wrong with that conversation
一个人的身体是一个正在进行的对话,在细胞内部和细胞之间,它们告诉彼此生长和死亡;当你生病的时候,谈话就会出问题
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。
Toyota was the first to put a commercial fuel cell powered car on the road, and I have no doubt that Toyota will continue to be in the front lines in the development of competitive fuel cell vehicles.
丰田是第一家将商用燃料电池汽车投入市场的公司,我毫不怀疑,丰田将继续在开发具有竞争力的燃料电池汽车方面走在前列。
Enterprise Systems, I mean. And not just a little bit, either. Orders of magnitude wrong. Billions and billions of dollars worth of wrong. Hang-our-heads-in-shame wrong. It's time to stop the madness.
我是说企业系统。而且不只是一点点。数量级错了。价值数十亿美元的错误。奴颜婢膝为耻的错误。是时候停止这种疯狂了。
I really like being pregnant. Not that there aren't things I don't love, but when I think about what my body is doing - creating a child - it just blows my mind. I'm in awe of the process and science.
我真的很喜欢怀孕。并不是说我没有不喜欢的东西,而是当我想到我的身体在做什么——创造一个孩子——它就会让我大吃一惊。我对这个过程和科学感到敬畏。
A technical solution may be defined as one that requires a change only in the techniques of the natural sciences, demanding little or nothing in the way of change in human values or ideas of morality.
技术解决方案可以定义为只需要改变自然科学的技术,很少或根本不需要改变人类价值观或道德观念。
So I think that, yes, anything that makes it more palatable and easier to understand, such as a Virtual Centre, has to be seen as a primary activity within the educational and information global state.
所以我认为,是的,任何让它更容易接受和理解的东西,比如虚拟中心,都必须被视为教育和信息全球状态下的主要活动。
And my real enemy is not to hold the specimen sterile, but it's the lighting. The light is our real enemy. So we have to work with very very poor lighting. But we can increase the light with computers.
我真正的敌人不是让标本无菌,而是光照。光是我们真正的敌人。所以我们必须在光线很差的情况下工作。但是我们可以用电脑增加光。
Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, and organs.
传统的学术科学把人类描述为高度发达的动物和生物思维机器。我们似乎是由原子、分子、细胞、组织和器官组成的牛顿物体。
The wars of the future will be fought by computer technicians and by lawyers and high-altitude specialists, and that may mean war will be increasingly abstract, hard to think about and hard to control.
未来的战争将由计算机技术人员、律师和高空专家参与,这可能意味着战争将越来越抽象,难以思考,也难以控制。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It's logic-based creativity.
你可能不认为程序员是艺术家,但编程是一种极具创造性的职业。它是基于逻辑的创造力。
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?
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?
