A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.
技术就像水;它想找到自己的水平。因此，如果您将计算机连接到十亿台其他计算机上，那么您想要使用的大量资源—不仅是文本或媒体，而且还有处理能力—将被远程定位，这是有意义的。
It's strange that we create tech and then we apply it to machines, when we could apply it to ourselves. Cars can now detect if something is behind them, but we don't have this ability. Why are we applying such a simple sense to a car when we could apply it to ourselves?
奇怪的是，我们创造了技术，然后把它应用到机器上，而我们可以把它应用到我们自己身上。汽车现在可以探测到背后是否有东西，但我们没有这种能力。为什么我们要把这样一个简单的概念应用到汽车上，而我们可以把它应用到我们自己身上呢?
What we know is smartphones are everywhere and they are rich in data. What we know is that there are apps once downloaded by the consumer that will also in turn download the consumers' contact book. Most consumers don't want that to happen and don't know it's happening.
我们所知道的是，智能手机无处不在，它们拥有丰富的数据。我们所知道的是，一旦消费者下载了一些应用程序，它们也会反过来下载消费者的通讯录。大多数消费者不希望这种情况发生，也不知道它正在发生。
It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system.
可以肯定地说，所有导致相对论的事实知识的变化，导致了一个非常伟大的理论发展，从任何角度看都是微不足道的，除了它们与理论体系结构的相关性。
As experimentation becomes more complex, the need for the co-operation in it of technical elements from outside becomes greater and the modern laboratory tends increasingly to resemble the factory and to employ in its service increasing numbers of purely routine workers.
随着实验变得越来越复杂，对外部技术因素在信息技术方面的合作的需求也越来越大，现代实验室也越来越像工厂，雇用越来越多的纯粹的普通工人为其服务。
A domain name is your address, your address on the Internet. We all have a physical address; we're all going to need an address in cyberspace. They're becoming increasingly important. I believe we'll get to the point where when you're born, you'll be issued a domain name.
域名是你的地址，你在互联网上的地址。我们都有一个实际的地址;我们都需要一个网络地址。它们变得越来越重要。我相信当你出生的时候，你会得到一个域名。
Well all the big companies are really panicked by the internet thing and all that, and sales went down, although sales have gone up again in this country a bit and also the big companies, because they're so big, they need big sales really so they're not really interested.
所有的大公司都被互联网之类的东西吓坏了，销售额下降了，虽然这个国家的销售额又上升了一些，而且大公司，因为他们太大了，他们需要大的销售额所以他们并不感兴趣。
Once the image was in the digital environment, one of the problems was, we had no means to reproduce the color spectrum, grey scale, and contrast that film produces, without converting the digital file to film, evaluating it, then going back and changing the digital image.
一旦图像进入数字环境，其中一个问题是，我们没有办法再现胶片产生的光谱、灰度和对比度，除非将数字文件转换成胶片，对其进行评估，然后返回并更改数字图像。
I think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people. And I mean, that's true socially. It makes you have more fun, right. It feels better to be more connected to all these people. You have a richer life.
我认为更多的信息流动，与更多的人保持联系的能力使人们更有效率。我的意思是，这在社交上是正确的。它让你有更多的乐趣，对吧。和这些人有更多的联系感觉更好。你有更丰富的生活。
One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
快速行动的好处之一是，如果你做错了什么，你可以改变它。技术往往会犯很多错误……但之后我们会回过头来，积极地攻击这些错误，并纠正它们。你通常恢复得很快。
I won't compare ants and people, but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling, in effect, one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way.
我不会把蚂蚁和人类做比较，但是蚂蚁为我们提供了一个有用的模型，说明一个社区的单个成员是如何变得如此有组织性的，以至于他们最终变得像一个巨大的集体大脑。我们的人口爆炸和通讯技术正引领我们走向这条道路。
Thousands of years ago, humans domesticated every possible large wild mammal species fulfilling all those criteria and worth domesticating, with the result that there have been no valuable additions of domestic animals in recent times, despite the efforts of modern science.
几千年前，人类驯养了所有可能的大型野生哺乳动物，满足了所有这些标准，值得驯养。结果，尽管现代科学做出了努力，但在最近的时间里，没有任何有价值的家畜的增加。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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?
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。
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。
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。
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。
