A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.
数字成像使我们摆脱了技术上的限制。我们不再是技术的仲裁者;我们可以参与将技术诠释为创造性的内容。
I also became interested in chemistry and gradually accumulated enough test tubes and other glassware to do chemical experiments, using small quantities of chemicals purchased from a pharmacy supply house.
我也对化学产生了兴趣，逐渐积累了足够的试管和其他玻璃器皿来做化学实验，用的是从药房购买的少量化学用品。
Technology will definitely solve all our problems, but in the process it will create brand new ones. But that's O.K. because the most you can expect from life is to get to solve better and better problems.
技术肯定会解决我们所有的问题，但在这个过程中，它会创造全新的问题。但没关系，因为你能从生活中期待的最多的就是解决越来越好的问题。
You know as a scientist that both were developed completely independently of each other in the laboratories. And only afterward were the political situations contrived out of which they could be justified.
作为一名科学家，你知道它们都是在实验室里完全独立开发出来的。只有在这之后，政治形势才得以设计出来，使他们有理由这样做。
When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.
当你看到一些技术上很甜蜜的东西时，你就会去做，然后在你取得技术上的成功之后，你才会争论该怎么做。原子弹就是这样的。
With this in mind, for some twenty years I have set myself as my particular task the experimental investigation of the connexion between change in the structure and change in the spectra of chemical atoms.
带着这种想法，近二十年来，我把自己作为我的特殊任务，对化学原子的结构变化和光谱变化之间的联系进行实验研究。
It's hard to pay attention these days because of multiple affects of the information technology nowadays. You tend to develop a faster, speedier mind, but I don't think it's necessarily broader or smarter.
由于当今信息技术的多重影响，人们很难集中注意力。你倾向于发展一个更快、更快的思维，但我不认为它一定是更广泛或更聪明的。
People are talking about the Internet as though it is going to change the world. It's not going to change the world. It's not going to change the way we think, and it's not going to change the way we feel.
人们在谈论互联网，好像它将改变世界。这不会改变世界。它不会改变我们的思维方式，也不会改变我们的感觉。
The great advance of personal computers was not the computing power per se but the fact that it brought it right to your face, that you had control over it, that were confronted with it and could steer it.
个人电脑的巨大进步不在于它本身的计算能力，而在于它能让你直面它，你能控制它，你能面对它并驾驭它。
Let us embrace Science and the new technologies unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease, death and the sweat of labor.
让我们不受束缚地拥抱科学和新技术，因为正是这些将把人类从神的神话中解放出来，把我们从年老的恐惧、疾病、死亡和劳动的汗水中解放出来。
Every time economic and technical development takes a step forward, forces emerge which attempt to create political forms for what, on the economic-technical plane, has already more or less become reality.
每当经济和技术发展向前迈进一步，就会出现各种力量，企图为经济和技术层面上已经或多或少成为现实的东西创造政治形式。
Design, in its broadest sense, is the enabler of the digital era - it's a process that creates order out of chaos, that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good, not just looking good.
从最广泛的意义上说，设计是数字时代的推动者——它是一个从混乱中创造秩序的过程，使技术对业务可用。设计意味着优秀，而不仅仅是好看。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings.
人类的每一项发明、每一件工具、每一件仪器、每一件器物、每一种为使用而设计的物品，都是从非常简单的开始发展起来的。
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 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。
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。
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?
