1、 比尔盖茨演讲稿 比尔盖茨演讲稿一 Ive always been an optimist and I supposed that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place. 我天生乐观，坚信人类凭制造力和聪慧才智可以让世界日益奇妙，这一设想始终根植于我的内心深处。 For as long as I can remember, Ive loved learning new things and solving problems. S

2、o when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. Its was a clunky and teletype machine that barely do anything compared to the computer we have today. But it changed my life. 自从记事起，我就热衷于接触新事物、挑战难题。可想而知，我上七年级时第一次坐在计算机前是何等着迷，如入无我之境。那是一台锵锵作响的旧牌机器，和我们今日拥有的计算机相比，它相当逊色几乎一

3、无所用，但正是它转变了我的生活。 When my friend Paul Allen and I stared Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of a computer on every desk and in every home, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believe that personal computer would chan

4、ge the world. And they have. 30 年前，我和朋友保罗艾伦创办微软时，我们梦想实现在每个家庭、在每张办公桌上都有一台计算机，这在大多数的计算机体积犹如冰箱的尺寸的年月，听起来有点异想天开。但是我们信任个人电脑将转变世界。今日看来果真如此。 And after 30 years, Im still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade. 30年后，我仍旧象上七年级的时候那样为计算机而狂热着迷。 I believe that computers are the most incredible to

5、ol we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldnt solve on their own. Computer have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the worlds knowledge. Theyre helping us build communicates around the things w

6、e care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are. 我信任计算机是我们用来满意奇怪心及创造制造的最奇妙的工具-有了它们的帮忙，甚至是最聪慧的人凭自身力气无法应对的难题都将迎刃而解。计算机已经转变了我们的学习方式，为全球各地的孩子们开启了一扇通向大千世界学问的窗户。它可以帮我们围绕我们关注的事物建立群，让我们和那些对自己重要的人保持亲密联系，不管他们身处何方。 Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularl

7、y lucky to do something every day I love to do. He calls it tap-dancing to work. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me tap-dancing to the work is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a

8、lifetimes worth of photos, and the say: I didnt know you can do that with a pc! 就像我的朋友沃伦布非一样，我为每天都能做自己喜爱的事情而感到无比幸运。他称之为踢踏舞工作。我在微软的工作永久布满挑战，但使我始终坚持踢踏舞工作的是我们向人们展现某些新成果的那些时刻，当他们看到计算机能识别笔迹、语音或者能存储值得保存一辈子的照片时就会赞不绝口：我不敢信任个人电脑竟如此万能。 But for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots

9、 other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world. 但是，除了能用电脑做出很酷

10、的事情之外，我们还能通过很多别的方式在工作中发挥自己的制造力和聪慧才智，以改善我们的世界。全球仍有许很多多的人连最根本的生存需求都未能解决。举例来说，每年仍有数以万计的人死于那些在兴旺国家易于预防和治疗的疾病。 I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility tp give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as m

11、any people as possible. 我认为，我所拥有的大量财宝也使我负有回馈社会的责任。我的妻子梅林达和我致力于为尽可能多的人改善安康和教育. As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant. or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that doesnt take much to make an immense difference in these childrens lives. 作为一个父亲，我认

12、为，非洲孩子死去所引起的苦痛和哀痛丝毫不亚于任何其他的孩子的死亡;我认为，使这些孩子们的命运发生翻天地覆的变化并不费太大力气。 Im still very optimist, and I believe that progress on even the worlds toughest problems is possible-and its happening every day. Were seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health prob

13、lems in the developing world. 我仍是一个坚决的乐观主义者，我坚信即使世界级难题取得进展都是有可能的-其实每天也都在发生着这种事情。我们看到治疗致命疾病的新药、新的诊断器械不断消失，而且，进展中国家的安康问题进入了人们的视野并日益得到重视。 Im excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness , creativity a

14、nd willingness to solve tough problems, were going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime. 我为医药、教育，固然还有技术进展的诸多前景而欢欣鼓舞。我信任，凭借人类与生俱来的创造制造力量和不畏困难、坚忍不拔的品行，在我的有生之年里我们将在全部这些领域都制造出可喜的成就。 比尔盖茨演讲稿二 if we can really see a problem, which is the first step, we come to the second ste

15、p: cutting through the complexity to find a solution. 就算我们真正发觉了问题所在，也不过是迈出了第一步，接着还有其次步：那就是从简单的大事中找到解决方法。 finding solutions is essential if we want to make the most of our caring. if we have clear and proven answers anytime an organization or individual asks how can i help?, then we can get action an

16、d we can make sure that none of the caring in the world is wasted. but complexity makes it hard to mark a path of action for everyone who cares and that makes it hard for their caring to matter. 假如我们要让关怀落到实处，我们就必需找到解决方法。假如我们有一个清楚的和牢靠的答案，那么当任何组织和个人发出疑问“如何我能供应帮忙”的时 候，我们就能实行行动。我们就能够保证不铺张一丁点全世界人类对他人的关怀。

17、但是，世界的”简单性使得很难找到对全世界每一个有爱心的人都有效的行动方法， 因此人类对他人的关怀往往很难产生实际效果。 cutting through complexity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of

18、 the technology that you already have whether its something sophisticated, like a drug, or something simpler, like a bednet. 从这个简单的世界中找到解决方法，可以分为四个步骤：确定目标，找到最高效的方法，发觉适用于这个方法的新技术，同时最聪慧地利用现有的技术，不管它是简单的药物，还是最简洁的蚊帐。 the aids epidemic offers an example. the broad goal, of course, is to end the disease. t

19、he highest-leverage approach is prevention. the ideal technology would be a vaccine that gives lifetime immunity with a single dose. so governments, drug companies, and foundations fund vaccine research. but their work is likely to take more than a decade, so in the meantime, we have to work with wh

20、at we have in hand and the best prevention approach we have now is getting people to avoid risky behavior. 艾滋病就是一个例子。总的目标，毫无疑问是毁灭这种疾病。最高效的方法是预防。最抱负的技术是创造一种疫苗，只要注射一次，就可以终生免疫。所以， 政府、制药公司、基金会应当资助疫苗讨论。但是，这样讨论工作很可能十年之内都无法完成。因此，与此同时，我们必需使用现有的技术，目前最有效的预防方法 就是设法让人们避开那些危急的行为。 pursuing that goal starts the fo

21、ur-step cycle again. this is the pattern. the crucial thing is to never stop thinking and working and never do what we did with malaria and tuberculosis in the 20th century which is to surrender to complexity and quit. 要实现这个新的目标，又可以采纳新的四步循环。这是一种模式。关键的东西是永久不要停顿思索和行动。我们千万不能再犯上个世纪在疟疾和肺结核上犯过的错误，那时我们由于它们

22、太简单，而放弃了实行行动。 the final step after seeing the problem and finding an approach is to measure the impact of your work and share your successes and failures so that others learn from your efforts. 在发觉问题和找到解决方法之后，就是最终一步评估工作结果，将你的胜利阅历或者失败阅历传播出去，这样其他人就可以从你的努力中有所收获。 you have to have the statistics, of cour

23、se. you have to be able to show that a program is vaccinating millions more children. you have to be able to show a decline in the number of children dying from these diseases. this is essential not just to improve the program, but also to help draw more investment from business and government. 固然，你

24、必需有一些统计数字。你必需让他人知道，你的工程为几百万儿童新接种了疫苗。你也必需让他人知道，儿童死亡人数下降了多少。这些都是很关键的，不仅有利于改善工程效果，也有利于从商界和政府得到更多的帮忙。 but if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers; you have to convey the human impact of the work so people can feel what saving a life means to the families affected

25、. 但是，这些还不够，假如你想鼓励其他人参与你的工程，你就必需拿出更多的统计数字;你必需展现你的工程的人性因素，这样其他人就会感到挽救一个生命，对那些处在逆境中的家庭究竟意味着什么。 i remember going to davos some years back and sitting on a global health panel that was discussing ways to save millions of lives. millions! think of the thrill of saving just one persons life then multiply t

26、hat by millions. yet this was the most boring panel ive ever been on ever. so boring even i couldnt bear it. 几年前，我去瑞士达沃斯旁听一个全球安康问题论坛，会议的内容有关于如何挽救几百万条生命。天哪，是几百万!想一想吧，挽救一个人的生命已经让人何等感动，现在你要把这种感动再乘上几百万倍但是，不幸的是，这是我参与过的最最乏味的论坛，乏味到我无法强迫自己听下去。 what made that experience especially striking was that i had jus

27、t come from an event where we were introducing version 13 of some piece of software, and we had people jumping and shouting with excitement. i love getting people excited about software but why cant we generate even more excitement for saving lives? 那次经受之所以让我难忘，是由于之前我们刚刚公布了一个软件的第13个版本，我们让观众感动得跳了起来，喊

28、出了声。我喜爱人们由于软件而感到感动，那么我们为什么不能够让人们由于能够挽救生命而感到更加感动呢? you cant get people excited unless you can help them see and feel the impact. and how you do that is a complex question. 除非你能够让人们看到或者感受到行动的影响力，否则你无法让人们感动。如何做到这一点，并不是一件简洁的事。 still, im optimistic. yes, inequity has been with us forever, but the new too

29、ls we have to cut through complexity have not been with us forever. they are new they can help us make the most of our caring and thats why the future can be different from the past. 同前面一样，在这个问题上，我依旧是乐观的。不错，人类的不公平有史以来始终存在，但是那些能够化繁为简的新工具，却是最近才消失的。这些新工具可以帮忙我们，将人类的怜悯心发挥最大的作用，这就是为什么将来同过去是不一样的。 the defin

30、ing and ongoing innovations of this age biotechnology, the computer, the internet give us a chance weve never had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable disease. 这个时代无时无刻不在涌现出新的革新生物技术，计算机，互联网它们给了我们一个从未有过的时机，去终结那些极端的贫困和非恶性疾病的死亡。 sixty years ago, george marshall came to this comm

31、encement and announced a plan to assist the nations of post-war europe. he said: i think one difficulty is that the problem is one of such enormous complexity that the very mass of facts presented to the public by press and radio make it exceedingly difficult for the man in the street to reach a cle

32、ar appraisement of the situation. it is virtually impossible at this distance to grasp at all the real significance of the situation. 六十年前，乔治马歇尔也是在这个地方的毕业典礼上，宣布了一个规划，帮忙那些欧洲国家的战后建立。他说：“我认为，困难的一点是这个问题太简单， 报纸和电台向公众源源不断地供应各种事实，使得大街上的一般人极端难于清楚地推断形势。事实上，经过层层传播，想要真正地把握形势，是根本不行能的。” thirty years after marsha

33、ll made his address, as my class graduated without me, technology was emerging that would make the world smaller, more open, more visible, less distant. 马歇尔发表这个演讲之后的三十年，我那一届学生毕业，固然我不在其中。那时，新技术刚刚开头萌芽，它们将使得这个世界变得更小、更开放、更简单看到、距离更近。 the emergence of low-cost personal computers gave rise to a powerful ne

34、twork that has transformed opportunities for learning and communicating. 低本钱的个人电脑的消失，使得一个强大的互联网有时机诞生，它为学习和沟通供应了巨大的时机。 the magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your neighbor. it also dramatically increases the number of brilliant minds we can have

35、 working together on the same problem and that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering degree. 网络的奇妙之处，不仅仅是它缩短了物理距离，使得天际若比邻。它还极大地增加了怀有共同想法的人们聚拢在一起的时机，我们可以为了解决同一个问题，一起共同工作。这就大大加快了革新的进程，进展速度简直快得让人震动。 at the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five peopl

36、e dont. that means many creative minds are left out of this discussion - smart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who dont have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world. 与此同时，世界上有条件上网的人，只是全部人口的六分之一。这意味着，还有很多具有制造性的人们，没有参加到我们的争论中来。那些有着实际的操作阅历和

37、相关经受的聪慧人，却没有技术来帮忙他们，将他们的天赋或者想法与全世界共享。 we need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. they are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporation

38、s, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation george marshall spoke of 60 years ago. 我们需要尽可能地让更多的人有时机使用新技术，由于这些新技术正在引发一场革命，人类将因此可以相互帮忙。新技术正在制造一种可能，不仅是政府，还 包括大学、公司、小机构、甚至个人，能够发觉问题所在、能够找到解决方法、能够评估他们努力的效果，去转变那些马歇尔六十年前就说到过的问题饥饿、贫 穷和无望。 members of the harvard family: here in the yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.
