A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
It's true that the original idea was mine, but what you see today is the work of probably tens of thousands of the world's best engineers, all concentrating on improving the product, reducing the cost, things of that sort.
的确，最初的想法是我的，但是你今天看到的是世界上成千上万最好的工程师的工作，他们都致力于改进产品，降低成本，诸如此类的事情。
Manufacturing takes place in very large facilities. If you want to build a computer chip, you need a giant semiconductor fabrication facility. But nature can grow complex molecular machines using nothing more than a plant.
制造是在非常大的设施中进行的。如果你想制造计算机芯片，你需要一个巨大的半导体制造设备。但是，自然界只需要一株植物就可以培育出复杂的分子机器。
I've always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal.
我一直觉得以人为中心的计算机科学方法比以信息为最高目标的机器至上方法更有趣、更奇异、更狂野、更英勇。
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
最终，我相信，目前试图用人造计算机来理解大脑的尝试将被认为是巨大的浪费时间。人造计算机可以出色地执行一些与有意识的人相同的外部任务。
I definitely love that all these car brands are coming out with hybrid forms of every car that they have. It's very awesome because I think it does make a difference, and it doesn't hurt that you save a lot of money on gas.
我非常喜欢所有这些汽车品牌推出的混合动力车。这是非常棒的，因为我认为这是一个不同的，它不会伤害你节省很多钱在汽油。
We've had such thorough training, we've had an excellent team on the ground. With the minor glitches that have occurred, we've been able to take care of them. And the teams on the ground are getting tons of incredible data.
我们进行了如此彻底的训练，我们拥有一支优秀的地面队伍。由于发生了一些小故障，我们已经能够处理好它们。地面上的团队得到了大量令人难以置信的数据。
I now have a home recording studio, which I can operate entirely on my own, as well as a portable version of the same which allows me to record anywhere I like and simply swap out the hard drives for use in the home studio.
我现在有一个家庭录音室，我可以完全自己操作，还有一个便携式版本的相同，让我可以在任何我喜欢的地方录音，并简单地更换硬盘驱动器，在家庭录音室使用。
Oh my goodness gracious, what you can buy off the Internet in terms of overhead photography. A trained ape can know an awful lot of what is going on in this world, just by punching on his mouse, for a relatively modest cost.
哦，我的天哪，你能从网上买到什么关于头顶摄影。训练有素的类人猿只需花费相对适中的代价，用拳头敲一下鼠标，就能知道这个世界上发生了什么可怕的事情。
Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?
作为一个国家，我们为何如此痴迷于外国事物?它是我们殖民时代的遗产吗?我们需要外国电视机。我们要洋装。我们需要外国技术。为什么对进口商品如此痴迷?
He gave us the lakes for our Northern boundary, and the rivers stretching to the seas upon whose waters floats our commerce to the nations of the world; while man has done all that can be done by science to bind us together.
他给我们北方的疆界是湖泊，给我们延伸到海洋的河流，使我们的贸易在其上流向世界各国;而人类已经尽了科学所能把我们团结在一起。
Our communications services revenue growth is being driven by continued strong top-line performance in data, Internet and international - three of the fastest growing and most profitable areas within communications services.
我们的通信服务收入增长是由数据、互联网和国际业务的持续强劲业绩推动的，这三个领域是通信服务中增长最快、利润最高的领域。
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
随着现代世界的统一日益成为一种技术而不是社会事务，艺术的技术提供了洞察我们集体目标的真正方向的最有价值的手段。
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。
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。
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.
