《名人傳記》之喬布斯遺失的訪談61:Web開啟IT行業(yè)新大門

So I guess... I think the web, if we look back 10 years back now.

如果將來回顧計算機(jī)發(fā)展歷史

The web is going to be a defining technology a defining social moment for computing.

web技術(shù)必然成為重要的里程碑

I think it's going to be huge and I think it brews a whole new generation of life into personal computing, I think it's going to be huge.

它的潛力很大，會吸引更多年輕人進(jìn)入計算機(jī)行業(yè)

And you are making software that …

你們正在開發(fā)…

Of course, so is everybody, I mean forget about what we are doing, as an industry, the web is going to open a whole new door to this industry.

不僅是我們，Web為IT行業(yè)開啟了新的大門。

It's another one of those things that it's obvious once it happens, but 5 years ago, who would have guessed?

放在5年之前，誰能想象得到呢?

That's right. Isn't this a wonderful place we are in.

沒錯，多么奇妙的行業(yè)呀!

I was keen to know about Steve's passion,

我很想知道Steve的工作熱情來自哪里?

是什么在激勵他?

I read an article when I was very young, in the Scientific American,

我小時候讀過《科學(xué)美國人》雜志的一篇文章

and it measures the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet.

雜志比較了地球上不同物種的移動效率

So for you know for bear, Chimpanzee, raccoons and birds, and fish,

比如熊、猩猩、浣熊、鳥類、魚類等

how many calories per kilometer they spend to move, and humans was measured too, the condor won,

計算它們每移動一公里消耗的熱量，還有人類，最后禿鷲贏了

it was the most efficient, and the mankind, the crowned creation, came in with rather unimpressive showing about 3rd way down the list,

它的移動效率最高，作為萬物之靈的人類，排在倒數(shù)第幾位

but somebody there had the brilliance to test a human riding a bicycle,

但是雜志特地測量了人類騎自行車的效率

blew away the condor, all the way off the charts,

結(jié)果把禿鷲遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)甩在了身后

and I remember this really had an impact on me.

在排名上遙遙領(lǐng)先。這篇文章給我留下了深刻的印象

I really remember this - humans were tool builders,

人類擅長發(fā)明工具

and we build tools that can dramatically amplify our human abilities.

工具夠賦予我們奇妙的能力
