For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns. His hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.

  • -- Roger Bacon 培根

因为,如果一个从未见过火的人用令人满意的论据证明火是燃烧的。他的听众永远不会满足,除非他把手伸进火里,通过实验来学习论证所教的东西,否则他也不会避开火。
