第三篇：比爾蓋茨英語演講稿

Unleashing Your Creativity

釋放你的創(chuàng)造力--比爾蓋茨

I've 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.我天生樂觀，堅(jiān)信人類憑創(chuàng)造力和聰明才智可以讓世界日益美妙，這一設(shè)想一直根植于我的內(nèi)心深處。

For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning new things and solving problems.So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked.It's was a clunky and teletype machine that barely do anything compared to the computer we have today.But it changed my life.自從記事起，我就熱衷于接觸新事物、挑戰(zhàn)難題。可想而知，我上七年級(jí)時(shí)第一次坐在計(jì)算機(jī)前是何等著迷，如入無我之境。那是一臺(tái)鏘鏘作響的舊牌機(jī)器，和我們今天擁有的計(jì)算機(jī)相比，它相當(dāng)遜色幾乎一無所用，但正是它改變了我的生活。

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 change the world.And they have.年前，我和朋友保羅·艾倫創(chuàng)辦微軟時(shí)，我們幻想實(shí)現(xiàn)“在每個(gè)家庭、在每張辦公桌上都有一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)”，這在大多數(shù)的計(jì)算機(jī)體積如同冰箱的尺寸的年代，聽起來有點(diǎn)異想天開。但是我們相信個(gè)人電腦將改變世界。今天看來果真如此。And after 30 years, I'm still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.30年后，我仍然象上七年級(jí)的時(shí)候那樣為計(jì)算機(jī)而狂熱著迷。

I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed1

our curiosity and inventiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own.Computer have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge.They're helping us build communicates around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.我相信計(jì)算機(jī)是我們用來滿足好奇心及發(fā)明創(chuàng)造的最神奇的工具--有了它們的幫助，甚至是最聰明的人憑自身力量無法應(yīng)對(duì)的難題都將迎刃而解。計(jì)算機(jī)已經(jīng)改變了我們的學(xué)習(xí)方式，為全球各地的孩子們開啟了一扇通向大千世界知識(shí)的窗戶。它可以幫我們圍繞我們關(guān)注的事物建立“群”，讓我們和那些對(duì)自己重要的人保持密切聯(lián)系，不管他們身處何方。

Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly 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 lifetime's worth of photos, and the say: “I didn't know you can do that with a pc!”

就像我的朋友沃倫·布非一樣，我為每天都能做自己熱愛的事情而感到無比幸運(yùn)。他稱之為“踢踏舞工作”。我在微軟的工作永遠(yuǎn)充滿挑戰(zhàn)，但使我一直堅(jiān)持“踢踏舞工作”的是我們向人們展示某些新成果的那些時(shí)刻，當(dāng)他們看到計(jì)算機(jī)能辨認(rèn)筆跡、語音或者能存儲(chǔ)值得保留一輩子的照片時(shí)就會(huì)贊不絕口：“我不敢相信個(gè)人電腦竟如此萬能”。

But for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots 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，除了能用電腦做出很酷的事情之外，我們還能通過許多別的方式在工作中

發(fā)揮自己的創(chuàng)造力和聰明才智，以改善我們的世界。全球仍有許許多多的人連最基本的生存需求都未能解決。舉例來說，每年仍有數(shù)以萬計(jì)的人死于那些在發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家易于預(yù)防和治療的疾病。

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 many people as possible.我認(rèn)為，我所擁有的大量財(cái)富也使我負(fù)有回饋社會(huì)的責(zé)任。我的妻子梅林達(dá)和我致力于為盡可能多的人改善健康和教育.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 doesn't take much to make an immense difference in these children's lives.作為一個(gè)父親，我認(rèn)為，非洲孩子死去所引起的痛苦和悲傷絲毫不亞于任何其他的孩子的死亡;我認(rèn)為，使這些孩子們的命運(yùn)發(fā)生翻天地覆的變化并不費(fèi)太大力氣。

I'm still very optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world's toughest problems is possible-and it's happening every day.We're seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.我仍是一個(gè)堅(jiān)定的樂觀主義者，我堅(jiān)信即使世界級(jí)難題取得進(jìn)展都是有可能的--其實(shí)每天也都在發(fā)生著這種事情。我們看到治療致命疾病的新藥、新的診斷器械不斷出現(xiàn)，而且，發(fā)展中國(guó)家的健康問題進(jìn)入了人們的視野并日益得到重視。I'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology.And I believe that through our natural inventiveness , creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.我為醫(yī)藥、教育，當(dāng)然還有技術(shù)發(fā)展的諸多前景而歡欣鼓舞。我相信，憑借人類與生俱來的發(fā)明創(chuàng)造能力和不畏艱難、堅(jiān)忍不拔的品格，在我的有生之年里我們將在所有這些領(lǐng)域都創(chuàng)造出可喜的成就。

蓋茨有關(guān)個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)的遠(yuǎn)見和洞察力一直是微軟公司和軟件業(yè)界成功的關(guān)鍵。蓋茨積極地參與微軟公司的關(guān)鍵管理和戰(zhàn)略性決策，并 在新產(chǎn)品的技術(shù)開發(fā)中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。他的相當(dāng)一部分時(shí)間用于會(huì)見客戶和通過電子郵件與微軟公司的全球雇員保持接觸。

1995年，蓋茨編寫了《未來之路書》，在書中，他認(rèn)為信息技術(shù)將帶動(dòng)社會(huì)的進(jìn)步。該書的作者還包括微軟公司首席技術(shù)官Na than Myhrvold以及PeterRinearson，它在《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》的最暢銷書排名中連續(xù)7周位列第一，并在榜上停留了18周 之久。

蓋茨有關(guān)個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)的遠(yuǎn)見和洞察力一直是微軟公司和軟件業(yè)界成功的關(guān)鍵。蓋茨積極地參與微軟公司的關(guān)鍵管理和戰(zhàn)略性決策，并 在新產(chǎn)品的技術(shù)開發(fā)中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。他的相當(dāng)一部分時(shí)間用于會(huì)見客戶和通過電子郵件與微軟公司的全球雇員保持接觸。

在蓋茨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，微軟的使命是不斷地提高和改進(jìn)軟件技術(shù)，并使人們更加輕松、更經(jīng)濟(jì)有效而且更有趣味地使用計(jì)算機(jī)。微軟公司 擁有長(zhǎng)期的發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略，這一點(diǎn)可以從本財(cái)政26億美元的研究與開發(fā)投資中得到反映。

1995年，蓋茨編寫了《未來之路書》，在書中，他認(rèn)為信息技術(shù)將帶動(dòng)社會(huì)的進(jìn)步。該書的作者還包括微軟公司首席技術(shù)官Na than Myhrvold以及PeterRinearson，它在《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》的最暢銷書排名中連續(xù)7周位列第一，并在榜上停留了18周 之久。

《未來之路》在20多個(gè)國(guó)家出版，僅在中國(guó)就售出40多萬冊(cè)。1996年，為充分利用Internet所帶來的新的商機(jī)，蓋茨對(duì)微軟進(jìn)行了戰(zhàn)略調(diào)整，同時(shí)，他又全面修訂了《未來之路》，在新 版本中，他認(rèn)為交互式網(wǎng)絡(luò)是人類通訊歷史上一個(gè)主要里程碑。再版平裝本同樣榮登最暢銷排行榜。蓋茨將其稿費(fèi)收入捐給了一個(gè)非盈利 基金，用于支持全世界將計(jì)算機(jī)與教學(xué)相結(jié)合的教師。

除計(jì)算機(jī)情結(jié)之外，蓋茨對(duì)生物技術(shù)也很感興趣。他是ICOS公司的董事會(huì)成員以及英國(guó)Chiroscience集團(tuán)及其位于 華盛頓州的全資子公司-ChiroscienceR&D公司?前身是DarwinMolecular）的股東。他還創(chuàng)立 了Corbis公司，該公司正在開發(fā)全球最大的可視化信息資源之一，提供全球公共與私人收藏的藝術(shù)和攝影作品的綜合性數(shù)字文檔。蓋茨還與蜂窩電話的先驅(qū)者CraigMcCaw共同投資了Teledesic公司，該公司雄心勃勃地計(jì)劃發(fā)射數(shù)百個(gè)近地軌道衛(wèi)星，為全世界提供雙向?qū)拵щ娦欧?wù)。

在微軟公司上市的12年時(shí)間里，蓋茨已向慈善機(jī)構(gòu)捐獻(xiàn)8億多美元，包括向蓋茨圖書館基金會(huì)捐贈(zèng)2億美元，以幫助北美的各大圖 書館更好地利用信息時(shí)代帶來的各種新技術(shù)。1994年，蓋茨創(chuàng)立了William H.Gates基金會(huì)，該基金會(huì)贊助了一系列蓋茨本人及其家庭感興趣的活動(dòng)。蓋茨捐獻(xiàn)的四個(gè)重點(diǎn)領(lǐng)域是：教育、世界公共衛(wèi)生和人 口問題、非贏利的公眾藝術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)以及一個(gè)地區(qū)性的投資計(jì)劃-Puget Sound。
