释放你的创造力I’ve always be 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.我一直是个乐观主义者。我认为创新和智慧可以让世界更美好。这一观点已经深深扎根于我的信念中。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 was a clunky old teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today.But it changed my life.从记事起，我就很喜欢学习新知识，解决问题。所以当我七年级第一次坐在电脑旁的时候，我一下子被吸引了。其实只是一台哐当作响的旧机器，跟现在的电脑比起来几乎什么都做不了。但是它改变了我的生活。When my friend Paul Allen and I started 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 computers would change the world.And they have.30年前，我和朋友保罗·艾伦开办微软的时候，我们有一个构想。那就是“每家每个桌子上都有一台电脑”。那时候大部分电脑和冰箱一样大，所以可能这个想法听起来有些太乐观了。但是我们相信个人电脑将改变世界。现在已经实现了。And after 30 years,I’m still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.30年之后，我仍然像七年级的时候那样为计算机而着迷。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.我相信电脑是最不可思议的工具。我们可以用它来满足我们的好奇心，发挥我们的独创能力，并帮助我们解决最聪明的人都不能独立解决的问题。Computers have transformed how we learn,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.电脑已经改变了我们的学习方式，让孩子们在任何地方都有学习世界所有知识的窗口。电脑帮我们围绕我们关注的事物建立“群”，让我们和那些对我们来说很重要的人保持密切联系，不管他们身处何方。Like my friend Warren Buffett,I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that 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-dance to 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 they say:“I didn’t know you can do that with a PC!"像我的朋友沃伦·巴菲特一样，我为自己可以每天做喜欢的事情感到非常幸运。他把这个称之为“跳着踢踏舞去工作”。我在微软的工作总充满挑战，但是让我“跳着踢踏舞去工作”的是当我们给人们介绍新产品的时候，比如一台可以识别指纹或者语音的电脑或者一台能够储存一生的珍贵照片的电脑，人们惊讶地说：“我无法想象你竟然可以用个人电脑做到这个。”But for all the cool things that a person can do with a PC,there are lots of 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 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的事情之外，我们还可以用其他方式发挥创造力和智慧以改变世界。世界上还有很多很多人连基本需要都无法满足。比如，每年有数百万人死于发达国家很容易预防和治疗的疾病。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 a way that can help as many people as possible.我相信我自己的巨额财富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 it doesn’t take much to make an immense difference in these children’s lives.作为一个父亲，我相信非洲一个孩子的死亡和其他任何地方一个孩子的死亡一样令人心酸，悲痛不已。让这些孩子的命运彻底改变并不费事。I’m still very much 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.我仍然是个非常乐观的人，我相信甚至是世界上最棘手的问题也可能会有进展——这种事情每天都在发生。我们正在见证在发展中国家，治疗绝症的新药出现，新的诊断工具投入使用，医学问题受到更多关注。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.我为医药、教育，当然还有技术发展的诸多前景而欢欣鼓舞。我相信，凭借人类与生俱来的发明创造能力和不畏艰难、坚韧不拔的品格，在我的有生之年里我们将在所有这些领域都创造出可喜的成就。
