A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Technology
Google is famous for making the tiniest changes to pixel locations based on the data it accrues through its tests. Google will always choose a spartan webpage that converts over a beautiful page that doesn't have the data to back it up.
谷歌以根据它通过测试积累的数据对像素位置进行最小的更改而闻名。谷歌总是选择一个简洁的网页，在没有数据支持的漂亮页面上进行转换。
Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.
让我们改变对程序建设的传统态度。与其想象我们的主要任务是指导计算机做什么，不如让我们集中精力向人类解释我们想让计算机做什么。
Internet journalism is not a world we know very well at all. It's conducted more on the screen and less in bars, which makes it rather less useful for getting stories about people throwing up over one another, which is what one's after.
网络新闻不是一个我们非常熟悉的世界。它更多的是在屏幕上进行，而不是在酒吧里进行，这使得它对于获取人们互相呕吐的故事，也就是一个人想要的东西，用处不大。
But it seemed to me that as soon as you have computer storage you could put every point you wanted in - make the ones that are less relevant to your central topic, further away or allow the central topic to move as the reader proceeded.
但在我看来，一旦你有了电脑存储空间，你就可以把你想要的每一点都写进去——把那些与你的中心主题不太相关的点写进去，或者让中心主题随着读者的阅读而移动。
In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.
在最初的日子里，这是一个我满怀热情从事的项目，因为我想解决国防部的问题:它不想要专有的网络，也不想被局限于单一的网络技术。
Working in the digital domain, you're using approximations of things; the actual sound wave never enters the equation. You deal with sections of it, and you're able to do so much more by just reducing the information to a finite amount.
在数字领域，你使用的是近似;实际的声波永远不会进入方程。你处理它的一部分，你能做的更多，通过把信息减少到一个有限的数量。
But now with technology I could sit down and do a bunch of character drawings and scan them into a computer, and the computer using my exact style could bring it into life, where it would have been edited by various human beings before.
但现在有了科技，我可以坐下来，画一堆字符图，然后扫描到电脑里，电脑用我的风格把它变成了现实，以前很多人都会编辑它。
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.
像我们这样的富人定义的全球化是一件非常好的事情……你在谈论互联网，你在谈论手机，你在谈论电脑。这不会影响到世界上三分之二的人。
If we enter into the kind of world that Google likes, the world that Google wants, it's a world where information is copied so much on the Internet that nobody knows where it came from anymore, so there can't be any rights of authorship.
如果我们进入谷歌喜欢的世界，谷歌想要的世界，这是一个信息在互联网上被复制得如此之多以至于没有人知道它来自哪里的世界，所以不可能有任何作者的权利。
Technology has changed, and we need to figure out how to improve the archaic way of what makes a hit, or how to determine how many viewers are watching beyond some people with Nielsen boxes in a small percentage of homes in random areas.
技术已经发生了变化，我们需要弄清楚如何改进什么节目能够大受欢迎的陈旧方式，或者如何确定有多少观众在观看节目，而不仅仅是随机地区一小部分家庭中使用尼尔森盒子的观众。
We're just into toys, whether it's motorcycles or race cars or computers. I've got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I've got the world's smallest phone. Maybe it's just because I'm still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?
我们只是喜欢玩具，不管是摩托车、赛车还是电脑。我有掌上电脑，我有世界上最小的手机。也许只是因为我还是个大孩子，我喜欢玩具，你知道吗?
A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.
从人类系统中每台计算机的数据库中抽象出来的数据的图形表示。不可思议的复杂性。光线在大脑的非空间、星系团和星系团中排列。就像城市的灯光，渐渐退去。
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。
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。
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。
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 march of invention has clothed mankind with powers of which a century ago the boldest imagination could not have dreamt.
发明的进步赋予了人类一个世纪前最大胆的想象所无法想象的力量。
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。
