A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
I hated science in high school. Technology? Engineering? Math? Why would I ever need this? Little did I realize that music was also about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, all rolled into one.
我在高中时讨厌科学。技术?工程?数学吗?我为什么需要这个?我几乎没有意识到，音乐也是科学、技术、工程和数学的综合体。
It's quite similar to guitar solos, only with programming you have to use your brain. The most important thing is that it should have some emotional effect on me, rather than just, 'Oh, that's really clever.'
它很像吉他独奏，只是在编程时你必须使用你的大脑。最重要的是，它应该对我产生一些情感上的影响，而不是说，‘哦，那太聪明了。’
I am looking at it from the point of view of a harried user, which I am, and I believe that I am much more like the typical non-technical harried user than I am like the people who smoothly operate everything.
我是从一个苦恼的用户的角度来看待它的，我就是这样一个人，我相信我更像一个典型的非技术的苦恼的用户，而不是那些顺利地操作一切的人。
The trick with computers I think, is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.
我认为电脑的诀窍在于，对待新旧事物要像对待你最喜欢的椅子一样充满敬意，不要被不断的创新所诱惑，否则你将一事无成。
I would guess that the decision to create a small special purpose language or use an existing general purpose language is one of the toughest decisions that anyone facing the need for a new language must make.
我想，创建一种小型专用语言或使用现有通用语言的决定是任何面临新语言需求的人必须做出的最艰难的决定之一。
Over the last few millennium, we've invented a series of technologies. that have made it progressively easier and easier for us to externalize our memories, for us to outsource this fundamental human capacity.
在过去的几千年里，我们发明了一系列的技术。这让我们越来越容易将记忆外化，也让我们越来越容易将人类的基本能力外化。
A lot of data, whether it's imagery or other kinds of things, work really well when it's geographically laid out. I'm talking about imagery, statistics, incidents and other things that happen around the globe.
很多数据，无论是图像还是其他类型的数据，在地理位置上都能很好地工作。我说的是图像，数据，事件和其他发生在全球的事情。
As in any technological revolution, there will be winners and losers. On balance, everyone will come out ahead, although there will be particular companies that will not be able to cope with a new environment.
正如任何技术革命一样，总会有赢家和输家。总的来说，每个人都会走在前面，尽管有些特定的公司将无法适应新的环境。
Nowadays, everybody assumes, when they wake up in the morning, if they have a question, it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is, someone will answer their question.
现在，每个人都认为，当他们早上醒来，如果他们有一个问题，它会得到回答。因为他们有互联网。不管问题是什么，总有人会回答他们的问题。
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.
让双方寻求激发科学的奇迹，而不是科学的恐怖。让我们一起探索星球，征服沙漠，根除疾病，开发海洋深处，鼓励艺术和商业。
Especially when I first really started to work with Kenneth and Franklin, who had been in space already. And so, they were able to talk about space and tell me a few things about how things would really happen.
尤其是当我第一次真正开始与已经进入太空的肯尼斯和富兰克林合作的时候。所以，他们能够谈论太空并告诉我一些事情是如何发生的。
Programmers are in the enviable position of not only getting to do what they want to, but because the end result is so important they get paid to do it. There are other professions like that, but not that many.
程序员处于令人羡慕的地位，他们不仅可以做他们想做的事情，而且因为最终结果非常重要，所以他们得到了报酬。还有其他类似的职业，但不是很多。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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.

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

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。
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。
