A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest, or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always trying to build things.
我一直对工程学很着迷。也许这是一种尝试，也许是为了得到父亲的尊重或兴趣，也许只是基因上对技术的热爱，但我一直在努力创造东西。
A very large percentage of economic activity is shifting online and it makes sense that there are more services that are going to charge. It also means there are going to be more people willing to pay.
很大比例的经济活动正在转向网络，因此有更多的服务要收费是合理的。这也意味着会有更多的人愿意支付。
My vision is for a fully reusable rocket transport system between Earth and Mars that is able to re-fuel on Mars - this is very important - so you don't have to carry the return fuel when you go there.
我的设想是在地球和火星之间建立一个完全可重复使用的火箭运输系统，能够在火星上重新加油——这非常重要——所以你去火星时不必携带返回的燃料。
It's very easy to make insects move. Because they do move mechanically without the rippling of flesh as you mentioned. They move more like real tinker toys and you can make models of them quite easily.
让昆虫移动很容易。因为它们确实可以机械地运动，而不像你说的那样有肉的波纹。它们移动起来更像真正的修补玩具，你可以很容易地制作它们的模型。
I've always had an inquisitive mind about everything from flowers to television sets to motor cars. Always pulled them apart - couldn't put 'em back, but always extremely interested in how things work.
从鲜花到电视机再到汽车，我对什么都有好奇心。总是把它们分开——不能把它们放回去，但总是对事物的运作方式非常感兴趣。
It doesn't matter whether you can or cannot achieve high temperature superconductivity or fuel cells, they will always be on the list because if you could achieve them they would be extremely valuable.
无论你能不能实现高温超导或燃料电池，它们都将永远在清单上，因为如果你能实现它们，它们将非常有价值。
I think the Internet is absolutely extraordinary. It's very, very useful and I think one of the things we've got to do is make sure that the African continent gets on to that information super highway.
我认为互联网是绝对非凡的。这是非常非常有用的，我认为我们要做的一件事是确保非洲大陆走上信息高速公路。
Educators are still spending way too much time trying to control what kids learn, bending the content to their own purposes, hoping beyond hope to change - by using technology - but not change too much.
教育工作者仍然花了太多的时间试图控制孩子们学习的内容，使内容符合他们自己的目的，希望通过使用技术来改变而不是改变太多。
I honestly think that in five years time, television will be watched on computer screens anyway and you'll be doing multiple things. You'll be 'IMing' while you're watching a show and checking the news.
说实话，我认为五年后，电视无论如何都会出现在电脑屏幕上，你会做很多事情。你会一边看节目一边看新闻。
I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.
我相信，到本世纪末，词汇的使用和普遍的有教养的观点将发生巨大的变化，人们将能够在谈论机器思维时不期望受到反驳。
I remember feeling that technology was like trying to draw with your foot. In a ski boot. It was the most indirect way to work imaginable, but the potential had us all excited. I started in stop motion.
我记得当时感觉科技就像用脚画画。穿着滑雪靴。这是我们能想到的最间接的工作方式，但它的潜力让我们都很兴奋。我开始停止运动。
The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language.
编程语言中最重要的是名称。一门语言没有好名声是不会成功的。我最近发明了一个非常好的名字，现在我正在寻找一种合适的语言。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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?
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。
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。
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.
