A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
In some cases, inventions prohibit innovation because we're so caught up in playing with the technology, we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important.
在某些情况下，发明禁止创新，因为我们太沉迷于玩弄技术，忘记了它应该是重要的。
I will say this, - though: If it is true that fusion will put unlimited amounts of energy into our hands, then I'm worried. Our record on this score is extremely poor.
我想说的是:如果核聚变真的会给我们带来无限的能量，那么我很担心。我们在这方面的记录很差。
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.
我认为能够在磁带上捕捉到相同的东西，然后能够摆弄它，倒着播放，这很神奇;多年来我一直认为这很棒。
I wouldn't encourage new writers to start off publishing through electronic media... it still isn't wide enough for the readership they would need to get a good start.
我不鼓励新作家开始通过电子媒体出版……它仍然不够广泛的读者，他们需要一个良好的开始。
If the Internet teaches us anything, it is that great value comes from leaving core resources in a commons, where they're free for people to build upon as they see fit.
如果说互联网教会了我们什么的话，那就是把核心资源放在一个公共空间中，让人们可以自由地根据自己的意愿进行构建，从而产生巨大的价值。
Today there are hundreds of millions of mobile devices, but you do have to know a bit about what each device is capable of doing in order to approach it as a developer.
现在有数亿台移动设备，但是作为开发人员，您必须了解每台设备的功能。
I had the honor of speaking with Asimov. The album ended up being something not directly related to Asimov, but related instead to the concept of the power of robotics.
我有幸与阿西莫夫交谈。这张专辑最终并没有直接与阿西莫夫有关，而是与机器人力量的概念有关。
But I think the bomb instead constitutes merely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary and dangerous to fit into old concepts.
但我认为，核弹只是人类对自然力量进行新控制的第一步，这种控制太过革命性，太过危险，不适合旧的概念。
Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.
生物工程并不一定要理解系统，而是我想能够设计和构建生物系统来执行特定的应用。
The sun as the expression of old world energy is torn down from the heavens by modern man, who by virtue of his technological superiority creates his own energy source.
太阳作为旧世界能源的表现形式被现代人从天上撕下来，现代人凭借自己的技术优势创造了自己的能源。
I think we can allow the therapeutic uses of nuclear transplant technology, which we call cloning, without running the danger of actually having live human beings born.
我认为我们可以允许核移植技术的治疗性应用，也就是我们所说的克隆，而不用冒着让活生生的人出生的危险。
We're in this transition period of figuring out how to deal with all the new technology that is out there, but television still proves to be the granddaddy of them all.
我们正处在一个过渡时期，要弄清楚如何应对所有的新技术，但电视仍然被证明是所有新技术的鼻祖。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
