11. We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you.
我們知道你們很看重你們在大學里面教育的學習方法，而且我們的年輕人與你們生活的花費即使對于你們來說也不便宜。
12. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.
但是你們也要明白不同的民族看待事物有不同的方法，所以如果剛好我們的看法與你們的不一樣的話，你們也不應覺的被冒犯了。
13. We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know , and make men of them.
當然，對于你們的盛情我們沒有被逼迫的感覺，盡管我們拒絕接受。而且，為了表示我們的感謝，如果維吉利亞洲的紳士們愿意派來一些他們的子弟的話，我們會盡全力教育他們，并把他們培養成為真正的男人。
14. In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth's postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.
在這個像是計算機史前時代的時代，地球的戰后時代，人們普遍擔憂有一天計算機會取代人類控制世界。
15. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives. We are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.
今天或者不到五十年后，計算機將越來越多的減輕人們的工作事務和日常瑣事。我們也將面對一個沒有什么戲劇性和更不可預測的問題。
