A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
You don't even have to leave your house: you do your work from your house; you can order anything you want from your house; you don't have to leave your chair. Everything's been designed so that you never leave your computer chair.
你甚至不需要离开你的房子:你在家里做你的工作;你可以从家里订购任何你想要的东西;你不必离开你的椅子。所有的东西都经过精心设计，让你永远不会离开电脑椅。
That's the new way - with computers, computers, computers. That's the way we can have the cell survive and get some new information in high resolution. We started about five years ago and, today, I think we have reached the target.
这是一种新的方式——用电脑，电脑，电脑。这就是我们让细胞存活的方式，并获得一些高分辨率的新信息。我们大约在五年前开始，今天，我认为我们已经达到了目标。
Technology is permeating every single thing we do... And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we're planning for the future.
科技正在渗透到我们做的每一件事…如果我们能让我们的年轻人更好地接触到各种不同的技术应用方式，而不仅仅是电子游戏或玩具，我们正在为未来做计划。
We might possess every technological resource... but if our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be "revolutionary" but not transformative.
我们可能拥有所有的技术资源……但是，如果我们的语言不完善，我们的视觉仍然是无形的，我们的思维和情感仍然在旧的循环中运行，我们的过程可能是“革命性的”，但不是革命性的。
The Internet has exceeded our collective expectations as a revolutionary spring of information, news, and ideas. It is essential that we keep that spring flowing. We must not thwart the Internet's availability by taxing access to it.
作为信息、新闻和思想的革命性源泉，互联网已经超出了我们的集体预期。我们必须保持这种活力。我们不能通过对互联网的接入征税来阻碍互联网的可用性。
Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power...but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.
技术不是世界的一种形象，而是在现实中运作的一种方式。技术的虚无主义不仅在于它是权力意志的最完美表达……但也因为它缺乏意义。
How did the economy produce all these amazing things that we have around us - computers and cell phones and so on? There were a bunch of ideas, and the good ones grew and prospered. And the bad ones were pretty ruthlessly weeded out.
经济是如何产生我们身边所有这些神奇的东西的——电脑和手机等等?有很多想法，好的想法不断发展壮大。坏的被无情地淘汰了。
Yeah. I do. I think that we have to continue to expand the areas in which we want our kids to be literate. And social media's going to be a part of their lives. And why not? Why not give them a sense of what the rules of the road are?
是的。我做的事。我认为我们必须继续扩大我们希望我们的孩子能够接受教育的领域。社交媒体将成为他们生活的一部分。为什么不呢?为什么不让他们了解一下交通规则呢?
These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming, allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users.
这些网站打破了曾经阻碍远距离社交关系形成的地理隔阂，让即时通讯和联系成为可能，让用户拥有虚拟的第二人生。
The central paradox of the machines that have made our lives so much brighter, quicker, longer and healthier is that they cannot teach us how to make the best use of them; the information revolution came without an instruction manual.
机器使我们的生活变得如此光明、快捷、长寿和健康，但它们的核心矛盾在于，它们无法教会我们如何充分利用机器;信息革命的到来没有任何指导手册。
Half of Google's revenue comes from selling text-based ads that are placed near search results and are related to the topic of the search. Another half of its revenues come from licensing its search technology to companies like Yahoo.
谷歌一半的收入来自销售基于文本的广告，这些广告放置在搜索结果附近，并且与搜索主题相关。另外一半的收入来自授权给雅虎等公司的搜索技术。
The three-pound organ in your skull - with its pink consistency of Jell-o - is an alien kind of computational material. It is composed of miniaturized, self-configuring parts, and it vastly outstrips anything we've dreamt of building.
你头骨中三磅重的器官——粉红色的果冻状——是一种外星的计算材料。它是由小型化的、自配置的部件组成的，它大大超过了我们所梦想的任何构建。
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.
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。
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。
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?
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?
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。
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。
