A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
在科学上，“事实”只能表示“被证实到一定程度，而不予以暂时的同意是反常的”。我认为苹果明天可能会开始上涨，但这种可能性不值得在物理课堂上花同样的时间。
In other words, unlike some people with new theories, we will go out, we'll go into a school and we get products and the products are evaluated, whether it's by teachers or others. The scores are quantified and then we compare performances.
换句话说，不像一些有新理论的人，我们会出去，我们会去学校，我们会得到产品，产品会被评估，不管是老师还是其他人。分数是量化的，然后我们比较性能。
And friends of mine that had photography class in high school would develop the film and make prints and I'd take them back to the track and give 'em away or try and sell them. Much to my parents' dismay, I majored in photography in college.
我的朋友们在高中上过摄影课，他们会冲洗胶卷，打印照片，然后我把它们带回赛道，把它们送人，或者试着卖掉。令我父母非常沮丧的是，我在大学主修摄影。
When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.
当我们近三分之一的高中生不能和他们的同龄人一起按时毕业时，我们就有工作要做。我们必须设计我们的初中和高中，使学生不会迷失在人群中，与自己的潜力脱节。
I had never, ever drunk beer in high school, and by the time I got to Tech we were having these parties out in the cotton fields and getting so drunk. I was the champion beer drinker; suddenly I was pouring it down my throat... Insane! Insane!
我在高中从来没有喝过啤酒，当我上技术课的时候，我们在棉花地里开派对，喝得酩酊大醉。我是啤酒冠军;突然，我把它倒进喉咙里……疯了!疯了!
Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is.
科学是西方思想的工具，用它打开的门比徒手打开的要多。它是我们知识的重要组成部分，只有当我们的洞察力认为它所给予的理解是唯一存在的时候，它才会蒙蔽我们的洞察力。
Month after month, Wizard Academy equips people who want to make a difference. This is why journalists and scientists and artists and educators and business owners and advertising professionals and ministers are attracted to our little school.
一个月又一个月，巫师学院为那些想有所作为的人提供装备。这就是为什么记者、科学家、艺术家、教育家、企业主、广告专业人士和部长们都被我们的小学校所吸引。
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.
我花在孩子身上的时间和所有呆在家里的妈妈一样多。我只在他们上学的时间里工作，但总有一种努力赶上他们所有东西的感觉，不仅要安排我的工作生活，还要安排他们的学校生活。
I think the point to be understood is that we're all different. I've never been a fan of theories of acting. I didn't go to drama school, so I was never put through a training that was limited by someone saying, 'This is the way you should act.'
我认为需要理解的一点是我们都是不同的。我从来不喜欢表演理论。我没有上过戏剧学校，所以我从来没有接受过那种被人说“这就是你应该表演的方式”所限制的训练。
Most of the people that I went to school with - I went to secondary school - we were educated to go and work in the line at Ford's, and if we were lucky, technical skilled labor. I sort of rejected that, and thought I wanted to do something else.
大多数和我一起上学的人——我上的是中学——我们接受的教育是去福特公司排队工作，如果幸运的话，我们是技术熟练的工人。我拒绝了，我想做点别的。
I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it, and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it's not for them. It's for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.
我想帮助中学女生保持对数学的兴趣，并擅长数学，把它看作是友好的、容易理解的，而不是这个可怕的东西。社会上的其他人都告诉他们这不适合自己。这是给带口袋保护器的白人书呆子的。
I wanted to be a vet, a nurse, a chef - I mean, anything but the music industry. But once I hit high school, the bug really bit me. You can't deny where you come from and what's in your genes, and music definitely was. I haven't looked back since.
我想成为一名兽医，一名护士，一名厨师——我的意思是，除了音乐行业，我什么都想做。但是，当我上高中的时候，这只虫子真的咬了我。你不能否认你来自哪里，你的基因里有什么，音乐绝对是。从那以后我再也没有回过头来。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
On a group of theories one can found a school; but on a group of values one can found a culture, a civilization, a new way of living together among men.
一个人可以根据一组理论建立一所学校;但在一组价值观上，人们可以找到一种文化，一种文明，一种人类共同生活的新方式。
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination.
科学上的每一个重大进步都来自于一种新的大胆的想象。
When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music, and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don't say that to brag, I just want to be an example.
当我高中毕业的时候，老师说我把我的生命都浪费在音乐上了，那个老师邀请我回学校演讲。我这么说不是为了炫耀，我只是想做个榜样。
When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.
当我上学的时候，你必须学习艺术，你必须演奏乐器。你必须演奏乐器。但从那时起，一切都退化了。我不知道我们是什么样的国家，把艺术、音乐和体育从公立学校的课程中剔除。
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
每一门科学都以哲学开始，以艺术结束。
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
我们还把事情安排得几乎没有人了解科学和技术。这是灾难的处方。我们可能会侥幸逃脱一段时间，但这种无知和权力的可燃混合物迟早会在我们的脸上爆炸。
