經典名人英語演講稿45：釋放你的創造力（比爾·蓋茨美國國家公共廣播公司演講） mp3
45. Unleashing Your Creativity
45. 釋放你的創造力
I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed 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 learrn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. They're helping us build communities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.
我相信電腦是可以用來滿足我們的好奇心、發揮我們獨創能力的最不可思議的工具。它能幫助我們解決最聰明的人都不能獨立解決的問題。電腦已經改變了我們的學習方式，讓孩子們在任何地方都有學習世界所有知識的窗口。利用它，我們圍繞我們關注的事物建立“群”，讓我們和那些對我們重要的人保持密切聯系，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 even, 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!"
像我的朋友沃倫·巳菲特一樣，我為自己每天可以傲自己喜歡的事情而感到非常幸運。他把這個付稱、之為“踢踏舞工作”。我在微軟的工作總是充滿挑戰，但是讓我“踢踏起舞”的是當我們給人們介紹新產品的時候，比如一臺可以識別筆跡或者語音的電腦或者一臺能夠儲存一生珍貴照片的電腦，人們驚訝地說：“我都不知道可以用個人電腦做這個。”
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，我們還可以用其他方式發揮創造力和智慧來改變世界。世界上還有很多很多人連自己的基本生活需求都滿足不了。比如，每年有數百萬人死于在發達國家很容易預防和治療的疾病。
I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in away that can help as many people as possible.
我相信我自己的巨額財富也使我負有回饋社會的責任。我的妻子梅林達和我要投入到為盡可能多的人改善健康和教育的事業中去。
