A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

研究

Research

It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached.

如果认为一个人必须坚持一个研究项目,直到它用尽了所有的启发式能力,在所有人都同意可能已经达到堕落的地步之前,他不能引入一个竞争对手的项目,这将是错误的。

The short-term vision is: I research on something which I can use tomorrow, and for some politicians it is even better if it's today. But if you do this, you can only do targeted research. If you only do targeted research, you lose the side-routes.

我的短期愿景是:研究一些明天可以使用的东西,对一些政客来说,如果是今天就更好了。但如果你这样做,你只能做有针对性的研究。如果你只做有针对性的研究,你就会迷失方向。

For most of human history we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Who are we? What are we? We find that we inhabit an insignificant planet of a hum-drum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are.

在人类历史的大部分时间里,我们一直在宇宙中寻找自己的位置。我们是谁?我们是什么?我们发现自己居住在一颗不起眼的行星上,它是一颗平凡的恒星,迷失在一个星系中,隐藏在宇宙某个被遗忘的角落里,而宇宙中就有这样一个角落。

I think the worst and most insidious procrastination for me is research. I will be looking for some bit of fact or figure to include in the novel, and before I know, I've wasted an entire morning delving into that subject matter without a word written.

我认为对我来说,最糟糕和最阴险的拖延是研究。我会在小说中寻找一些事实或数据,在我意识到之前,我已经浪费了整个上午的时间来钻研这个主题,却一个字也没写。

If they are, then the only ultimate truths are the particulars of concrete experience, and no postulate or general assumption is inherent in science until its proceedings become systematic, or the truths already reached give direction to further research.

如果是这样,那么唯一的根本真理就是具体经验的特殊性,在科学的进展成为系统的,或者已经得到的真理为进一步的研究指明了方向之前,科学中不存在任何固有的假定或一般的假定。

If a student takes the whole series of my folklore courses including the graduate seminars, he or she should learn something about fieldwork, something about bibliography, something about how to carry out library research, and something about how to publish that research.

如果一个学生修了我所有的民俗学课程,包括研究生研讨会,他或她应该学习一些田野调查的知识,一些关于书目的知识,一些关于如何进行图书馆研究的知识,以及如何发表这些研究。

It is important to fund young researchers who want to do curiosity-driven research. Curiosity-driven research is a part of life. Some people are curious. They want to learn more about nature and society should help that. It's like art: you can learn more and bring more beauty.

资助那些想做好奇心驱动研究的年轻研究人员是很重要的。好奇心驱动的研究是生活的一部分。有些人很好奇。他们想了解更多关于自然和社会的知识,这应该有所帮助。这就像艺术:你可以学到更多,带来更多的美丽。
