  • I want to start off by saying, Houston, we have a problem. We're entering a second generation of no progress in terms of human flight in space.
  • 我想从这里开始,休斯顿,我们有个问题。我们已经有二十年没有进展了,在人类太空飞行方面。
  • In fact, we've regressed. We stand a very big chance of losing our ability to inspire our youth to go out and continue this very important thing that we as a species have always done.
  • 事实上,我们退步了。我们非常有可能失去鼓励年轻人的能力,让他们走出去,继续做这非常重要的事情,做我们人类已经做了的事情。
  • And that is, instinctively we've gone out and climbed over difficult places, went to more hostile places,
  • 那就是,我们已经本能地走出去翻过困难之地,去往更加困难的地方,
  • and found out later, maybe to our surprise, that that's the reason we survived.
  • 之后发现,也许会令我们吃惊,这些就是我们生存下来的理由。
  • And I feel very strongly that it's not good enough for us to have generations of kids that think that it's OK to look forward to a better version of a cell phone with a video in it.
  • 我强烈的感觉到这不太好,如果我们世代的后辈只想着要一个更好的带录像的手机。
  • They need to look forward to exploration; they need to look forward to colonization; they need to look forward to breakthroughs.
  • 他们要渴望探索,他们要渴望征服,他们要渴望突破。他们需要这些。
  • We need to inspire them, because they need to lead us and help us survive in the future.
  • 我们要鼓励他们,因为他们将来要领导我们帮助我们生存。
  • I'm particularly troubled that what NASA's doing right now with this new Bush doctrine to -- for this next decade and a half -- oh shoot, I screwed up.
  • 我特别担心,美国国家宇航局现在根据新的布什政府的原则所做的--因为在未来十五年--哦 天呢,我错了。
  • We have real specific instructions here not to talk about politics.
  • 在这里我们有非常明确的规定,不可以谈政治。
  • What we're looking forward to is --
  • 我们所期待的是--
  • what we're looking forward to is not only the inspiration of our children,
  • 我们所期待的是不止鼓励我们的孩子,
  • but the current plan right now is not really even allowing the most creative people in this country --
  • 但我们现行的政策甚至不允许这个国家最有创造力的--
  • the Boeing's and Lockheed's space engineers -- to go out and take risks and try new stuff.
  • 波音航空公司和洛克希德导弹与航天公司的航天工程师走出去,承担风险,尝试新事物。
  • We're going to go back to the moon ... 50 years later? And we're going to do it very specifically planned to not learn anything new.
  • 我们将要回到月球--50年以后--我们正准备仔细地计划这件事情,学习任何新知识。
  • I'm really troubled by that. But anyway that's -- the basis of the thing that I want to share with you today, though,
  • 我因此非常担心。但无论如何,那是--我今天想和你们分享的事情的基础,尽管如此
  • is that right back to where we inspire people who will be our great leaders later.
  • 就回到了我们要鼓励人们,鼓励日后会成为我们伟大领导的人们。
  • That's the theme of my next 15 minutes here. And I think that the inspiration begins when you're very young:
  • 那是我在这里接下来15分钟的主题。我认为在你们小的时候就开始被鼓励:
  • three-year-olds, up to 12-, 14-year-olds. What they look at is the most important thing.
  • 从三岁的婴儿直到12,14岁的小孩。我们--最重要的事情是他们看到了什么。
