A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
I would like to spend my next two years showing how the aim of making technology available to every young person can be built into the effort to make our nation more secure. That is my latest concern and what I will be pushing over the next two years.
在接下来的两年里，我想向大家展示，让每一个年轻人都能使用科技的目标，是如何融入到让我们的国家更安全的努力中去的。这是我最近的担忧，也是我在未来两年内要推动的目标。
We're investing record sums on buses and trains. We have a huge programme to encourage people to walk and cycle, and everyone up to and including the PM has been looking closely at how we can promote electric vehicles, hybrids, and other technologies.
我们在公共汽车和火车上的投资达到了创纪录的水平。我们有一个鼓励人们步行和骑车的庞大计划，包括首相在内的所有人都在密切关注我们如何推广电动汽车、混合动力汽车和其他技术。
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
我明白，我曾经认为电脑不过是一台雌雄同体的打字机兼文件柜，但它为懂网络的人提供了更强的沟通能力。我不认为这完全是一件坏事，不管表面上看起来如何。
At times, we forget the magnitude of the havoc we can wreak by off-loading our minds onto super-intelligent machines, that is, until they run away from us, like mad sorcerers' apprentices, and drag us up to the precipice for a look down into the abyss.
有时，我们忘记了将我们的思想卸载到超级智能机器上所能造成的巨大破坏，也就是说，直到它们像疯狂的魔法师学徒一样从我们身边跑开，把我们拖到悬崖边向下看深渊。
Point-to-point transit via low orbit could dramatically speed up international flights, connecting the world even further. And safe, consistent space travel opens up the possibility of commercial space stations, trips to the moon and exploration beyond.
通过低轨道的点对点过境可以大大加快国际航班的速度，进一步连接世界。安全、持续的太空旅行为商业空间站、月球之旅和其他太空探索开辟了可能。
If you're the village blacksmith and a model T comes along, you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient, a lot more real time, a lot less waste.
如果你是村里的铁匠，而一辆T型车出现了，你最好成为一名机械师。当人们在网上得到新闻时，他们的生活比等待晨报要好。这样更有效率，更实时，更少浪费。
The first dolly track was somebody who had the idea to put the camera on a boat on a canal. So the boat would move very slowly but steadily. So they would see all that surrounds you and you'd see the landscape changing slowly. So that was the first time.
第一个小车轨道是有人想把相机放在运河上的船上。所以船会缓慢而平稳地移动。所以他们会看到你周围的一切，你会看到风景慢慢地改变。这是第一次。
I suppose that every time there is difficulty. I remember about Space Mountain: It took us ten years before we found the technology that would allow such a ride. And during these ten years, I had a model that I kept, waiting for the technology we needed.
我想每次都有困难。我记得关于太空山的事:我们花了十年的时间才找到允许这种飞行的技术。在这十年里，我有一个模型，我一直保存着，等待我们需要的技术。
You know, my degrees are in computer engineering. I spent a lot of time in the tech industry. And I like to say that I don't invest in tech because I spent time in it. And I saw firsthand that the durability of technology moats is many times an oxymoron.
你知道，我的学位是计算机工程。我在科技行业工作了很长时间。我想说的是，我不投资科技，因为我花了时间在它上面。我亲眼看到，技术护城河的耐用性在很多时候是自相矛盾的。
The instruments of labour, when they assume the form of machinery, acquire a kind of material existence which involves the replacement of human forces by the forces of Nature, and of rule-of-thumb methods by the purposeful application of natural science.
劳动工具，当它们以机械的形式出现时，就获得了一种物质的存在，这种物质的存在包括用自然的力量代替人的力量，以及有目的地应用自然科学的经验法则的方法。
And it's here and it's ready and we can really revolutionize the way we educate our children with tablet computers, and I'm committed to doing whatever I can to speaking to whomever I can to send this signal - to pound this message home. Now is the time.
它就在这里，它已经准备好了，我们真的可以用平板电脑彻底改变我们教育孩子的方式，我承诺尽我所能与任何人交谈，只要我能发出这个信号——把这个信息打回家。现在是时候了。
I learned to work on a computer years before I was placed under house arrest. Fortunately I had two laptops when I was under house arrest - one an Apple and one a different operating system. I was very proud of that because I know how to use both systems.
我在被软禁前几年就学会了操作电脑。幸运的是，我在软禁期间有两台笔记本电脑——一台是苹果电脑，另一台是不同的操作系统。我对此非常自豪，因为我知道如何使用这两种系统。
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。
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 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。
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。
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?
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。
