A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
I wish I could go to the school where my close friends go, but I obviously can't. The good thing is, they're really good about inviting me to all the football games and all that stuff. So I end up having an adopted team spirit for a school I don't go to.
我希望我能去我的好朋友去的学校，但我显然不能。好在，他们真的很乐意邀请我去看所有的足球比赛之类的。所以我最终被一所我没有上过的学校所吸收的团队精神。
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。
The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I've done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and nothing but.
我在法学院做的最聪明的一件事就是邀请我未来的妻子和我一起出去跳舞。当我从事法律工作时，我做的最明智的一件事是:辞职。我在写作中做过的最聪明的事:跟随自己的想法，写下我想写的东西，除此之外别无他法。
Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.
我们的父母非常严格。不是以一种残忍或可怕的方式，而是有明确的规则，比如在学校晚上六点以后你不出去，周末你必须在某个时间回家。这里没有特别的庇护，但我们都是受过良好教育的。
There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right; they're the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny.
科学上有许多假说是错误的。完全没问题;他们是发现什么是对的孔。科学是一个自我修正的过程。要被接受，新思想必须经受住最严格的证据标准和审查。
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。
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
作家不可能被驯服，变得文明，甚至被治愈。目前科学界所知的唯一解决办法是为病人提供一间隔离室，在那里他可以独自忍受急性期，食物可以用棍子戳进他的身体。
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.
所有的科学都需要数学。数学知识几乎是与生俱来的。这是最简单的科学，一个显而易见的事实是，没有人的大脑会排斥它;因为门外汉和完全不识字的人知道如何计算。
My mother taught public school, went to Harvard and then got her master's there and taught fifth and sixth grade in a public school. My dad had a more working-class lifestyle. He didn't go to college. He was an auto mechanic and a bartender and a janitor at Harvard.
我母亲在公立学校教书，上了哈佛大学，然后在那里获得硕士学位，在一所公立学校教五年级和六年级。我父亲的生活方式更倾向于工人阶级。他没有上过大学。他是哈佛大学的一名汽车机械师、酒保和看门人。
In school, when we lived in New Jersey, we went to Broadway a lot, so I saw a lot of Broadway plays, and I just loved being able to see people play a different character and, you know, be able to be themselves at the end of the night. So, I've always wanted to do it.
在学校，当我们住在新泽西的时候，我们经常去百老汇，所以我看了很多百老汇的戏剧，我很喜欢看到人们扮演不同的角色，你知道，在晚上结束的时候能够做自己。所以，我一直想这么做。
I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.
我在学校就像班上的小丑，所以我想我会说，我喜欢被关注。在教堂里我演了很多戏剧，我妈妈让我扮演角色，做了很多戏剧和表演，试着成为另一个人。所以它帮助我创造了我自己，创造了史努比狗狗。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.
人类喜欢探索，这就是科学的种子。
This is great for our school. The kids have really played well this season.
这对我们学校来说太棒了。这个赛季孩子们真的打得很好。
Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow's speed.
他们说，宇宙中没有任何东西能以光速旅行，他们忘记了影子的速度。
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。
True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
真正的恐惧是某天早上醒来发现你的高中班级正在管理这个国家。
