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.
我一直是個樂觀主義者。我認為創新和智慧可以讓世界更美好。這一觀點已經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.
從記事起，我就很喜歡學習新知識，解決問題。所以當我七年級第一次坐在電腦旁的時候，我一下子被吸引了。其實只是一臺哐當作響的舊機器，跟現在的電腦比起來幾乎什么都做不了。但是它改變了我的生活。
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，我和朋友保羅·艾倫開辦微軟的時候，我們有一個構想。那就是“每家每個桌子上都有一臺電腦”。那時候大部分電腦和冰箱一樣大，所以可能這個想法聽起來有些太樂觀了。但是我們相信個人電腦將改變世界。現在已經實現了。
And after 30 years, I'm still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.
30年之后，我仍然像七年級的時候那樣為計算機而著迷。
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.
我相信電腦是最不可思議的工具。我們可以用它來滿足我們的好奇心，發揮我們的獨創能力，并幫助我們解決最聰明的人都不能獨立解決的問題。
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.
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。電腦幫我們圍繞我們關注的事物建立“群”，讓我們和那些對我們來說很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 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 knwo you can do that with a PC!"
像我的朋友沃倫·巴菲特一樣，我為自己可以每天做喜歡的事情感到非常幸運。他把這個稱之為“跳著踢踏舞去工作”。我在微軟的工作總充滿挑戰，但是讓我“跳著踢踏舞去工作”的是當我們給人們介紹新產品的時候，比如一臺可以識別指紋或者語音的電腦或者一臺能夠儲存一生的珍貴照片的電腦，人們驚訝地說：“我無法想象你竟然可以用個人電腦做到這個。”
