A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
'Authoring tools' are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.
“创作工具”是可怕的;几乎没有软件可以为媒体播放器创建封闭的字幕。当然也没有训练。电视字幕已经够糟糕的了，而这些东西通常更糟。
You can always improve on something, the technology is different today, but I would leave it well alone. If there was something that was incomplete, that might be interesting... because I do that on my website.
你总是可以改进一些东西，今天的技术是不一样的，但我不会管它。如果有什么东西是不完整的，那可能会很有趣……因为我在我的网站上这么做。
Even if the music industry simply gave away all their music people would complain that they don't have the bandwidth to download all the stuff - the problem would merely shift from availability to distribution.
即使音乐产业只是简单地免费提供他们所有的音乐，人们也会抱怨他们没有足够的带宽下载所有的东西——问题只会从可用性转向发行。
With a fourth generation of nuclear power, you can have a technology that will burn more than 99 percent of the energy in the fuel. It would mean that you don't need to mine uranium for the next thousand years.
有了第四代核能，你就可以拥有一种可以燃烧燃料中99%以上能量的技术。这意味着你在接下来的一千年里不需要开采铀。
The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane, but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that.
飞行员看着他的姿态、速度、方向等线索，做出了和在飞机上一样的反应，但飞机不可能飞得一样。模拟器向我们展示了这一点。
Our technologised society is becoming opaque. As technology becomes more ubiquitous and our relationship with digital devices ever more seamless, our technical infrastructure seems to be increasingly intangible.
我们的科技社会正变得不透明。随着技术变得越来越普遍，我们与数字设备的关系变得越来越无缝，我们的技术基础设施似乎越来越无形。
Our combination of great research universities, a pro-risk business culture, deep pools of innovation-seeking equity capital and reliable business and contract law is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world.
我们拥有一流的研究型大学、支持风险的商业文化、大量寻求创新的股权资本以及可靠的商业和合同法，这些优势在世界上都是前所未有的。
The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.
技术的发展使得今天的核物理学家不经过训练就转入医学物理是不可能的。现在这个领域的技术含量要高得多。做这项工作需要更多的培训。
Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.
蛋白质工程是一种分子机器的技术——分子机器是复制器的一部分——所以它来自一个已经引起纳米技术将引起的一些问题的领域。
The respect for human rights, essential if we are to use technology wisely, is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary, it is integral to science, as also to scholarship in general.
如果我们要明智地使用技术，对人权的尊重是必不可少的，这不是必须嫁接到科学上的外来事物。相反，它是科学的组成部分，也是一般学术的组成部分。
But by providing the background picture - the universal situational awareness that we desire - by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence.
但是通过提供背景图片——我们所希望的普遍的态势感知——通过显示异常，天基雷达将改变我们分析和情报的本质。
I think that there are changes that have occurred in technology that make is that more people can have the same level of information that I have. My advantage is that I'm very good at interpreting the information.
我认为科技已经发生了变化，更多的人可以拥有和我一样水平的信息。我的优势是我很擅长解释信息。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
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?
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。
