and that's why I wanted to bring it here for you guys to see.  于是我把它带来跟大家分享

　　And what was interesting about it is the obvious choice  我做这个选择很明显

　　for me to talk about was graphics and audio.  因为我所谈的都是计算机图形和声音

　　Some of the ideas are really dreadful and some of them are great.  有的想法很烂有的却很棒

　　There's nothing worse than having to listen to someone  被逼无奈去听有的人给你讲一个非常糟糕的游戏点子

　　and have millions of people ready to play.  便有成千上万的人蓄意待发(玩游戏)

　　You know, we have the technology.  我们已经拥有了技术

　　aren't incredibly emotional and will probably make her cry.  很可能会让她哭

　　I just hope she likes video games.  我就是希望她会喜欢玩游戏

　　So, my closing thought.  我的总结是

　　Games on the surface seem simple entertainment,  游戏,表面上看起来是简单的娱乐

　　but for those that like to look a little deeper,  但是只要你稍微往深处看一点

　　the new paradigm of video games could open entirely new frontiers to creative minds that like to think big. 这些新的游戏对于那些善于创新的眼光长远的人来说将会开拓出一个全新的领域

　　Where better to challenge those minds than here at TED?  有什么地方的人比TED上的你们更适合接受这个挑战呢?

　　Thank you.  谢谢
