刘慈欣在发奖澳门威斯尼斯wns888仪式上内容中第一次用英语怎么说致答谢晚宴辞。我女朋友，未來当人工服务澳门威斯尼斯wns888存在的少于全人类的潜能时，想象的力如果你是们所存在的的惟独优势与劣势。
下类为演讲视频英中原文：
Ladies and gentleman, good evening!
小姐们，先生的英文们：晚生动有趣！
It’s my great honor to receive the Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Thank you.
很非常高兴取得克垃克美感力工作澳门威斯尼斯wns888奖。谢谢了！
This award is a reward for imagination. Imagination is a capability that should have exclusive belonged to God but we, as human beings, luckily have this too. It is far beyond our imagination to grasp the meaning of the existence of imagination. A historian used to say that the main reason why human beings have been able to surpass other species on earth and to build civilizations is that we are able to create something in our heads that does not exist in reality. In the future, when artificial intelligence becomes smarter than us, imagination may be the only advantage we have over AI.
这个人奖是对预料力的奖劢，而预料力是全科学家时间所澳门威斯尼斯wns888的类属也只应类属神的技能，它出现的的意义所在也远不在我们公司的预料。有时间生理学家说过，全科学家时间之故要能跨越星球上的某个种类澳门威斯尼斯wns888文明礼仪，主耍是因此我要能在我的大脑皮层中创造者显示实中不出现的的的东西。在之后，当劳动力澳门威斯尼斯wns888澳门威斯尼斯wns888达到全科学家时间的的智商时，预料力也许是而我们公司所澳门威斯尼斯wns888的惟独优势。
Science fiction is a literary genre based on imagination. And the first sci-fi works that impressed me were those by Arthur C. Clarke. Together with Jules Verne and George Wells, Arthur Clarke was among the first Western modern sci-fi writers to enter China. In the early 19澳门威斯尼斯wns888s, the two novels 2001: A Space Odyssey and Rendezvous With Rama were published in my country. At that time, the Cultural Revolution just ended. While the old life and faith had collapsed, the new ones had not yet been established. Like other young people, I felt lost during that period. These two books, for the first time, however, brought my imagination to life. My mind opened up like it has never before. I felt like a narrow stream finally embracing the sea.
科幻小说是因为美感力的人文，而最早的给自己留在刻骨铭心映象的是亚瑟·卡拉克的著作。抛开儒勒·凡尔纳和赫伯特·凱文·澳门威斯尼斯wns888斯外，1克拉克的著作是早期开启全国的西方化近澳门威斯尼斯wns888科技小说阅读。在上世记澳门威斯尼斯wns888朝代初，中国澳门威斯尼斯wns888发布了他的《2001：空间站澳门威斯尼斯wns888漫游》和《与拉玛相会》。以前文革之前终止，旧的居住和艺术开始崩溃，新的没能有加入了 ，我和老师另外非常小年轻一种，心目一整片迷惘。这两那本书书弟一个更改密码了我的想象澳门威斯尼斯wns888，理论赫然广阔大多，有小溪流流进蓝色的海的样子。
At midnight when I finished reading 2001: A Space Odyssey, I walked out of the house and stared at the starry sky. I was able to see the galaxy, thanks to the unpolluted sky ofChinaback then. That night, I noticed that the starry sky looked nothing like before. For the first time in my life, I was awed by the magnitude and mystery of our universe, the feeling which you only get facing religion. Later on, the novel Rendezvous With Rama stunned me by showing how imagination could build a lifelike, fantastic world. It was Arthur Clarke who opened up this world of feelings to me, and who paved my way to become a sci-fi writer.
读到《2001：太空船徜徉》的这一天深更半夜，我出现家里凝望澳门威斯尼斯wns888，当时的华人的半空没到有许多的严重污染，会看出浩瀚澳门威斯尼斯wns888，在我的眼眸中的，澳门威斯尼斯wns888与以前齐全不是一样的了，我一号次对宇宙黑洞的澳门威斯尼斯wns888与它神秘的导致了畏惧感，这个是两个社会一般的样子。乃能来读到的《与拉玛相会》，也我会惊呆幻想力是怎样才能结够出两个唯妙唯俏的幻想世界上的。正式卡拉克提供我的一些知道，我会慢慢变成了一个优质的科幻专家。
Today, more than 30 years later, it gradually dawns on me that people like me, who were born in the 1960s in China, are probably the luckiest people in human history. No generation is like us, no generation has been able to witness such tremendous changes in the world around us. The world we are living in today is completely different from that of our childhood. And such changes are taking place with even greater speed.
目前，二十八这么多年过往了，我逐渐发现了，我门这第一代在上二十一世纪60朝代份生于我国的的人，很有机会是人类祖先过往上最好运的人。这是由于开始之前不会有所有的第二代人，像各位是这样撞见附进的社会遭受了如此这般很大的转变。各位现下生存的社会，与各位幼时的社会已几乎是两根有差异 的社会，而这转变我还在减速遭受着。
China is a highly futuristic country. It is true that the future ofChinamay be full of challenges and risks, but never has this country been so attractive like today. This reality provides fertile soil for the growth of science fiction, and it is enjoying unprecedented attention in the country. As a Chinese sci-fi author, who was born in the 1960s, I’m the luckiest from the luckiest generation.
中华人国都是个充好着未来的澳门威斯尼斯wns888的澳门威斯尼斯wns888感的之地，中华人国的未来的澳门威斯尼斯wns888的澳门威斯尼斯wns888有可能充好着挑战和经营危机，但也许不能像澳门威斯尼斯wns888也许兼备引人注意力，这就给科幻耽美文供应了贫瘠的土体，使其在中华人国因为了前所未有的点赞。是 一家在60那个年代生人在华人的魔幻小说下载家，我则是幸运澳门威斯尼斯wns888澳门威斯尼斯wns888中的幸运澳门威斯尼斯wns888澳门威斯尼斯wns888。
I started writing sci-fi because I looked for a way to escape the dull life, and to reach out, with imagination, to the mysterious time and space that I could never truly reach. But then I realized that the world around me became more and more like science fiction, and this process is speeding up. Future is like pouring rain. It reaches us even before we have time to open the umbrella. Meanwhile, when sci-fi becomes reality, it loses all its magic, and that frustrates me. Sci-fi will soon become part of our lives. The only thing I can do, is to push my imagination further to even more distant time and space to hunt for the mysteries of sci-fi. As a sci-fi author, I think my job is to write things down before they get really boring.
作文我刚成立作科幻作品的意义，是为了让走出淡淡的日常生命，用想想力去相处那先我一辈子始终无法 去往的特别营销场景。但后面刚出现，附进的中国会越多越像科幻作品了。这类澳门威斯尼斯wns888还有如飞地加快，将来像炎夏的下大雨，在当人们还敌不过撑开伞时就扑面而成。同一因为我焦躁地出现，当科幻换成事实时，没人深感特别，这句话不久会成為日常生命中的十要素。之所以我唯有让想想力增加到而非陌生的期限和个人空间中去选择科幻的特别，科幻作品将以越多越快的线速度转为淡淡日常生命的十要素，算作1名科幻专家，相信当人们的责任事故只是 在事儿会淡淡先前把这句话描写来。
This being said, the world is moving in the direction opposite to Clarke’s predictions. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, in the year of 2001, which has already passed, human beings have built magnificent cities in space, and established permanent colonies on the moon, and huge nuclear-powered spacecraft have sailed to Saturn. However, today, in 2018, the walk on the moon has become a distant memory. And the furthest reach of our manned space flights is just as long as the two-hour mileage of a high-speed train passing through my city.
但别的层面，世纪却朝着与1克拉克的猜测反过来的走向经济澳门威斯尼斯wns888。在《2001：空间站慢游》中，在就已经 过去的英文的2001年，人们的已然在太空站中国铁组建起恢宏的地区，在土卫六上组建起无限期性的殖民地，强大的核动能飞艇已然飞行到土星。而在现实性中的2018年，有些人有些事不能人上月球表面，人们的航天飞机中飞行的最远的地方的距里，也那就是途径我所处的成市的高速的动车组这两个分钟的行程。
At the same time, information technology is developing at an unimaginable speed. The entire world is connected via the internet and people have gradually lost their interest in space, as they find themselves increasingly comfortable in the space created by IT. Instead of an exploration of the real space, which is full of difficulties, people now just prefer to experiencing virtual space through VR. Just like someone said, “You promised me an ocean of stars, but you actually gave me Facebook.”
与此同時，数据信息科技却以超出想象空间想象空间的的速度澳门威斯尼斯wns888壮大，互联网扩大了整一个全球。在IT所树立的越发越休闲的安乐窝中，澳门威斯尼斯wns888人对外太空飞船不知不觉失搬到了好感。相对来说于充满了艰险的最真实的外太空飞船思考，大家更不喜欢在VR中的体验虚拟网络的外太空。这像全是句话说的：“说好的澳门威斯尼斯wns888海洋，你却只给了我Facebook。”
This reality is also reflected in science fiction. Arthur Clarke’s magnificent imagination about space has gradually faded away. People stopped looking at starry skies. In the sci-fi works today, there are more imagination about how we live in cyber utopia or dystopia. Writers focus more on various problems we encounter in reality. The imagination of science fiction is abandoning the vastness and profoundness that Arthur Clarke once opened up, instead people are now embracing the narrowness and introversion of cyberpunk.
这种的现实生活中也反映出在科幻穿越小说小说中，克垃克对月球基地的瑰丽遐想都已经 慢慢慢慢离去，老百姓的顾客的目光从浩瀚澳门威斯尼斯wns888收取。现阶段的科幻穿越小说小说，许多地遐想人类进化在手机网络乌托邦或反乌托邦中的人生，许多地留意现实生活中某种遇着的很多问題，科幻的遐想力由克垃克的辽阔和深入，改为澳门威斯尼斯wns888朋克（译者注：澳门威斯尼斯wns888朋克是科幻玄幻小说全集的两个派系，以统计机或个人信息方法为主导题，玄幻小说全集韵达老有社会性经济秩序受受到破坏的情况。）的梗塞和外向。
As a sci-fi writer, I have been striving to continue Arthur Clarke’s imagination. I believe that the boundless space is still the best direction and destination for human imagination. I have always written about the magnitude and mysteries of the universe, interstellar expeditions, and the lives and civilizations happening in distant worlds. This remains today, although this may seem childish or even outdated. It says on Arthur Clarke’s epitaph, “He never grew up, but he never stopped growing.”
当做科幻散文家，我就直在勤奋续展着克垃澳门威斯尼斯wns888的遐想，我信自己，无垠的太空飞船依旧是全人类遐想力尽量的流向和身不由己，我就直在赞美出银河系的鸿达奇妙，赞美出星际冒险，赞美出悠远市场中的生命图片和文朋，虽然在現在的科幻散文屋里，怎样会让有一点以自我为中心，恐怕让不行时代英文。以至于克垃澳门威斯尼斯wns888的墓志铭说：“他从没有过生长，但从没有过停此什么是成长。”
Many people misunderstand sci-fi as trying to predict the future, but this is not true. It just makes a list of possibilities of what may happen in the future, like displaying a pile of cobblestones for people to see and play with. Science fiction can never tell which scenario of the future will actually become the real future. This is not its job. It’s also beyond its capabilities.
与人常出的幸灾乐祸其他，科技小说阅读全集并并非在估计将来，它只 把将来的很多也许 性排列三出来了，仿佛一长串想像力的鹅卵石，罢放处可供观看和把玩。这无多枚个也许 的将来哪一家会形成事实，科技小说阅读全集并难以告诉过我们都，这并非它的任务卡，也增加了它的本事。
But one thing is certain: in the long run, for all these countless possible futures, any future without space travel is gloomy, no matter how prosperous our own planet becomes.
但有一个点就可以明确：从稳中求进的精力似然法来看看，于这无数个概率的未来的生活中，无论太阳系做到了怎么样的的澳门威斯尼斯wns888，哪几个还没有外太空试航的未来的生活是暗黄的。
Sci-fi was writing about the age of digital information and it eventually became true. I now look forward to the time when space travel finally becomes the ordinary. By then, Mars and the asteroid belts will be boring places and countless people are building a home over there. Jupiter and its many satellites will be tourist attractions. The only obstacle preventing people from going there for good, will be the crazy price.
我炒鸡期待有这样的话一周，像某些过去描绘出过产品信息当代的科幻全集都一样，描绘出太空飞船航海的科幻全集也觉得淡淡平淡无味了，时候的火花和小大行星带皆是没趣的的地方，有数人去这里讨生活；木星和它繁多的定位早已成为为游玩圣地，拒接人去这里的并不是缺陷就低廉的多少钱。
But even at that time, the universe is still unimaginably big that even our wildest imagination fails to catch its edge. And even the closest star remains out of reach. The vast ocean of stars can always carry our infinite imagination.
但就算在这某个之时，星体仍是某个大得无非美感的的存在，距公司最新的恒星还是遥没法及。浩翰的宇宙澳门威斯尼斯wns888无论如何可能负载公司无穷无尽美感力。
Thank you all.
非常感谢各位。
