A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.
我住在一座山顶上,学校在另一座山顶上。从来没有人开车上学——战争期间我们没有车。所以往返学校本身就是一种训练。
But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience.
但是,也许我们其他人可以在科学鉴赏、科学奇迹、科学思维方式和科学思想史等方面单独上课,而不是在实验室里体验。
At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.'
在学校里,我因为太瘦和看起来很笨拙而受到嘲笑。但是电视上的女孩看起来和我很像。我会对妈妈说:“学校里的女孩们在逗我,但我看起来像电视上的那些女孩。”
You can not do what you want to do unless you know the correct technique. The only other way you can learn how to do it is by doing it yourself, which would take twice as long than if you went to school.
你不能做你想做的事,除非你知道正确的技术。你能学习如何做这件事的唯一另一种方法是自己做,这将花费两倍于你上学的时间。
I think the future of psychotherapy and psychology is in the school system. We need to teach every child how to rarely seriously disturb himself or herself and how to overcome disturbance when it occurs.
我认为心理治疗和心理学的未来在学校系统中。我们需要教每个孩子如何很少严重地干扰自己,以及当干扰发生时如何克服它。
People should have the choice to be able to live where they want to live, go to school where they want to go to school, marry whoever they want to marry regardless of what their complexion is and so forth.
人们应该有权选择住在他们想住的地方,上他们想上的学校,和他们想嫁的人结婚,不管他们的肤色如何等等。
As for the symphonic activities... when I was a student at the Eastman School of Music, I became exposed to a lot more musical forms, elements, opportunities, and I fell in love with strings and their uses.
至于交响乐活动…当我还是伊士曼音乐学院的一名学生时,我接触到了更多的音乐形式、元素和机会,我爱上了弦乐及其用途。
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
无知比知识更容易带来自信:正是那些知道得很少的人,而不是那些知道得很多的人,如此积极地断言这个或那个问题永远不会被科学解决。
We are each other's seventh largest trading partner, we are the fifth largest investor there and likewise, we have a lot of exchanges between political leaders, businessmen, tourists and school children too.
我们互为第七大贸易伙伴,互为第五大投资者,政治领导人、商人、游客和学生之间也有很多交流。
Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby - nothing more.
弹吉他是我童年的爱好之一,我在学校和夏令营都玩过一点。像所有的父母一样,我的父母会把我拉出去为家人表演,但这只是一种爱好——仅此而已。
I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club.
我作为一名律师去了市中心,然后我在一家酒类商店工作到晚上,就像我在法学院做的所有事情一样。所以当我到了可以放弃夜间工作的时候,我加入了政治俱乐部。
I count myself well educated, for the admirable woman at the head of the school which I attended from the age of four and a half till I was thirteen and a half, was a born teacher in advance of her own times.
我认为自己受过良好的教育,因为我从四岁半到十三岁半就读的这所学校的校长是一位令人钦佩的女性,她是一位比她所处的时代更早出生的教师。

沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.
统计学的定义:从可靠的数字中得出不可靠的事实的科学。
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.
科学有时被说成是与信仰对立的,而且与信仰不一致。但事实上,所有的科学都建立在信仰的基础上,因为它假定自然规律的持久性和统一性——这是永远无法证明的。
There are no shortcuts in evolution.
在进化中没有捷径。
Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
科学是建立在事实之上的,正如房子是用石头砌成的一样。但是收集事实并不是一门科学,正如一堆石头并不是一所房子一样。
As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.
大二时,我想参加三个项目的校队。我做到了。那一年是一个伟大的壮举,也是我特别珍视的东西。我想带一支冠军球队去欧森赛德高中,我如愿以偿了。那是我永远不会忘记的伟大的一年。
Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.
每一门科学的基础都有一套固定不变的原则体系,就像宇宙受到这些原则的制约和支配一样。人不能制定原则;他只能发现它们。
