A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
Once you have done with school, you realise that it is just a smaller version of life, and really I have felt that I should have been an adult since I was aged about five.
一旦你完成了学业,你就会意识到这只是生活的一个小版本,我真的觉得我应该从五岁左右就成为一个成年人。
My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did.
我的运动能力是社会认可的核心,因为在那些日子里,绝大多数学生都来自公立学校,而不是我。
The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
错误地把悖论当作发现,把暗喻当作证明,把滔滔不绝的空话当作真理的源泉,把自己当作神谕,这些都是我们与生俱来的愚蠢。
So, I see technology as a Trojan Horse: It looks like a wonderful thing, but they are going to regret introducing it into the schools because it simply can't be controlled.
所以,我把科技视为特洛伊木马:它看起来是一件很棒的东西,但他们会后悔把它引入学校,因为它根本无法控制。
Women can go on marrying and pretending that their boyfriends and husbands are Mr. Darcy or some RomCom dream man. But where's that going to get 'em? Besides divorce court?
女人可以继续结婚,假装他们的男朋友和丈夫是达西先生或一些浪漫的梦中情人。但那又有什么用呢?除了离婚法庭?
I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it's important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.
我带孩子们去教堂和主日学校。他们喜欢它。我真的认为让孩子感觉到有比你的生活更重要的事情是很重要的。
In my second year, after moving to the Medical School, I began the courses of Anatomy and Physiology. I had begun to see that I was interested in cells and their functions.
在我进入医学院的第二年,我开始学习解剖学和生理学。我开始对细胞及其功能感兴趣。
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
发现这些基本定律没有逻辑的方法。只有一种直觉的方法,那就是感觉表象背后的秩序。
My brother had a big band in high school; after that we continued to play together, eventually forming a group called the Jazz Brothers, that recorded for Riverside Records.
我哥哥在高中时有一个大乐队;在那之后,我们继续在一起演奏,最终组建了一个名为爵士兄弟的乐队,为河滨唱片公司录制唱片。
If I wasn't doing this, I'd be in school studying political science or socioeconomic something. I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society.
如果我不这样做,我就会在学校里学习政治学或社会经济学之类的东西。我喜欢参观不同的文化,了解他们是如何组成一个社会的。
I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me.
我从来都不是学校里很酷的人,但话又说回来,我也不喜欢那些很酷的人。不是我不喜欢他们,只是我对他们不感兴趣。
The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verified by experience. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.
最有力的论据也证明不了什么,只要结论没有得到经验的证实。实验科学是科学的女王,是一切投机活动的目标。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.
当我不知道自己在做什么的时候,我就在做研究。
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
科学充其量不过是常识,也就是说,在观察上严格准确,在逻辑上对谬误毫不留情。
I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.

School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.
学校把生活分成两个部分,这两个部分的长度越来越接近。与其他任何事情一样,学校教育意味着对那些在其他地方被宣布为不受欢迎的人的监护,因为一所学校是为他们而建的。
Whether one sees the world as God's creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito.
无论一个人把世界看作是上帝的创造,还是科学正在探索的一个世俗的谜,从山脉、沙漠、雨林到普通蚊子设计的精美细节,一切都是美丽和威严的,这是不可否认的。
