A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
For example, a breakthrough in better batteries could supplant hydrogen. Better solar cells could replace or win out in this race to the fuel of the future. Those, I see, as the three big competitors: hydrogen, solar cells and then better batteries.
例如，更好的电池的突破可能会取代氢。更好的太阳能电池可以取代或在这场争夺未来燃料的竞赛中胜出。我认为这是三大竞争对手:氢燃料电池、太阳能电池以及更好的电池。
There are interactions with characters within the game which I think are pretty neatly done considering the limitations that you have to work with. I mean, a computer can't really generate a character that talks back and forth with you successfully.
考虑到你必须面对的限制，我认为游戏中与角色之间的互动是非常完美的。我的意思是，电脑不能真正创造出一个能和你成功地来回交谈的角色。
The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.
只有当人们意识到物理学的基础已经开始移动时，才能理解现代物理学最近发展所引起的剧烈反应;这一举动让人觉得科学的基础将被切断。
There are machines that can get rid of your cellulite, so I want to do that. And my friend has just had a machine that has worked on her neck and tightened the elasticity of the skin. You just need a day off work afterwards, so I'm thinking, why not?
有一些机器可以去除你的脂肪团，所以我想这么做。我的朋友刚刚用一个机器在她的脖子上工作，收紧了皮肤的弹性。你只是需要休息一天，所以我在想，为什么不呢?
The original project began because we know the universe is expanding. Everybody had assumed that gravity would slow down the expansion of the universe and everything would come to a halt and collapse. The big surprise was it was actually speeding up.
最初的计划开始是因为我们知道宇宙在膨胀。每个人都认为引力会减缓宇宙的膨胀，一切都会停止并坍塌。最令人惊讶的是它实际上在加速。
The first legislation that I produced relating to the Internet was a bill to overturn a restriction inside of the law that prohibited the Internet backbone from being used for anything other than research and scientific and educational communication.
我提出的第一个有关互联网的立法是推翻法律内部的一项限制，该限制禁止互联网主干用于研究、科学和教育交流以外的任何事情。
Actually, because of new technologies, my full studio is on my laptop. And I have a little keyboard in my bag. I can make everything I do come from my laptop. Even when I go to a big studio, all I do is to plug in my laptops. That's they way I do it.
事实上，因为有了新技术，我的工作室都在我的笔记本电脑上。我的包里有一个小键盘。我可以用笔记本电脑做任何事情。即使当我去一个大的工作室，我所做的一切就是插入我的笔记本电脑。我就是这么做的。
The accumulation of skill and science which has been directed to diminish the difficulty of producing manufactured goods, has not been beneficial to that country alone in which it is concentrated; distant kingdoms have participated in its advantages.
旨在减少生产制成品困难的技术和科学的积累，不仅对其集中的国家有利;遥远的王国也分享了它的优势。
What troubles me is the Internet and the electronic technology revolution. Shyness is fueled in part by so many people spending huge amounts of time alone, isolated on e-mail, in chat rooms, which reduces their face-to-face contact with other people.
困扰我的是互联网和电子技术革命。害羞的部分原因是，很多人花大量时间独处，在电子邮件上孤立，在聊天室里，这减少了他们与他人面对面的接触。
We'd been noticing how much more important the internet had become - once information is out there in the world now, anyone can get it. Since that was beginning to happen with the record anyway, we figured, OK, let's just stream it for free ourselves.
我们已经注意到互联网变得多么重要——一旦信息出现在世界上，任何人都可以得到它。既然这已经开始发生在唱片上了，我们想，好吧，让我们自己免费播放吧。
Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.
火箭科学家一致认为，我们使用化学火箭在太空旅行的能力已接近极限。为了达到接近光速的速度，我们需要一种新的能源和一种新的推进剂。核裂变不是一个选择。
Yet, I am convinced that there is a need for high quality software, and the time will come when it will be recognized that it is worth investing effort in its development and in using a careful, structured approach based on safe, structured languages.
然而，我相信对高质量软件的需求是存在的，总有一天人们会认识到，在开发和使用基于安全的结构化语言的谨慎的结构化方法方面进行投资是值得的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
