A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
I think it killed the performance on a lot of the systems in the Labs for years because everyone had their own copy of it, but it wasn't being shared, and so they wasted huge amounts of memory back when memory was expensive.
我认为它扼杀了实验室里许多系统多年来的性能，因为每个人都有自己的副本，但它没有被共享，所以当内存很昂贵的时候，它们浪费了大量的内存。
I'd like to talk about free markets. Information in the computer age is the last genuine free market left on earth except those free markets where indigenous people are still surviving. And that's basically becoming limited.
我想谈谈自由市场。计算机时代的信息是地球上仅存的最后一个真正的自由市场，除了那些土著人还在生存的自由市场。这基本上是有限的。
In making certain things easier for people, technology has actually demotivated people from using their brains. We have all these devices that keep us connected, and yet we're more disconnected than ever before. Why is that?
为了让人们更容易做某些事情，科技实际上让人们失去了用脑的动力。我们拥有所有这些让我们保持联系的设备，但我们比以往任何时候都更缺乏联系。这是为什么呢?
Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users don't have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.
专有软件往往具有恶意特性。关键是使用专有程序，当用户没有源代码时，我们永远无法知道。所以你必须把每一个专有程序都看作潜在的恶意软件。
This has been a great experience for me. The first couple of days you don't always feel too well. You adjust to the fluid shifting, how to fly through space without hitting things or anybody else. But then you get in a groove.
这对我来说是一次很好的经历。头几天你总是感觉不太好。你要适应流体的移动，如何在太空中飞行而不撞到任何东西或任何人。但接着你就进入了状态。
I maintain an ongoing survey of Internet Publishing and self publishing, so that it is now possible for any writer with a book to get it published at nominal cost or free, and to have it on sale at booksellers like Amazon.com.
我对网络出版和自助出版进行了持续的调查，所以现在任何一位作家都有可能以名义上的成本或免费出版一本书，并在亚马逊这样的书商那里出售。
What we are seeing now is customers shifting their attention from security products like firewalls and intrusion sensors, to the policies that need to be in place, and the technologies that help them enforce policy compliance.
我们现在看到的是，客户的注意力从防火墙和入侵传感器等安全产品转向了需要到位的策略，以及帮助他们执行策略遵从性的技术。
From cell phones to computers, quality is improving and costs are shrinking as companies fight to offer the public the best product at the best price. But this philosophy is sadly missing from our health-care insurance system.
从手机到电脑，质量在提高，成本在下降，因为公司都在努力以最优惠的价格向公众提供最好的产品。但遗憾的是，这一理念在我们的医疗保险体系中缺失了。
Had we really succeeded therefore in altering the period of vibration, which Maxwell, as I have just noted, held to be impossible? Or was there some disturbing circumstances from one or more factors which distorted the result?
我们真的成功地改变了振动的周期吗?正如我刚才提到的，麦克斯韦认为这是不可能的。还是有一个或多个因素造成了一些令人不安的情况，从而扭曲了结果?
It's clear that people are going to download media files, and they're going to talk to each other, and they're going to exchange information and knowledge and so forth. So this system logic is basically what you bounce off of.
很明显，人们会下载媒体文件，他们会互相交谈，他们会交换信息和知识等等。所以这个系统逻辑基本上就是你的出发点。
Enlightened self-interest from those involved in hydrocarbons should lead to the support of technologies enabling the clean use of hydrocarbons, such as carbon capture and storage, and not to the defence of deniers and cranks.
来自碳氢化合物相关方的开明的利己主义，应该导致支持能够清洁使用碳氢化合物的技术，例如碳捕获和储存，而不是为否认者和曲柄辩护。
This camera works like photosynthesis. It is as if you were Xeroxing your own face. The pictures have such physicality: their surface is like fine leather, stained from chemicals. Each one has a body and is more than an image.
这台照相机的工作原理很像光合作用。这就好像你在擦自己的脸。这些照片具有这样的物理特性:它们的表面就像精细的皮革，被化学物质染色。每个人都有一个身体，而不仅仅是一个形象。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
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 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。
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.
人类创造的所有最伟大的技术发明——飞机、汽车、电脑——很少提到他的智力，但却充分说明了他的懒惰。
