把这一句,留给此刻的你
Wherever we go, across the Pacific or Atlantic, we meet, not similarity so much as 'the bizarre'. Things astonish us, when we travel, that surprise nobody else.
无论我们走到哪里,跨越太平洋或大西洋,我们相遇的与其说是相似之处,不如说是“奇异之处”。当我们旅行时,事情会使我们感到惊讶,没有人会感到惊讶。

Everybody knows how fallible memory can sometimes be. You remember certain fragments precisely, but as soon as you try to join the fragments together, for a story, there is a certain - not falsification, but a shifting.
每个人都知道记忆有时是多么容易出错。你准确地记住了某些片段,但一旦你试图把片段连接起来,对于一个故事来说,就有了某种——不是伪造,而是转换。

Once a man or woman begins to take a serious interest in the way the universe works - that is to say in science - there is no telling what may turn up.
一旦一个男人或女人开始对宇宙的运行方式——也就是说在科学领域——产生了严肃的兴趣,就很难说会出现什么结果。
