A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科学
Science
In effect, what is a courtier? He is a man whom the misfortune of kings and people has placed betwixt the sovereign and truth to conceal it from his eyes.
实际上，什么是朝臣?他是这样一个人:国王和人民的不幸把他置于君主和真理之间，使他看不见真理。
Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.
科学中的灵感可能与思想有关，但与艺术无关。在艺术中，感官是对表达媒介本能地作出反应的。
A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.
一个人不再是某一门科学的初学者，而是当他知道他将终生成为这门科学的初学者时，他就成了这门科学的大师。
It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.

Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.

It must be born in mind that one does not see directly - as is the case in the exploration of the surface of the brain - where the electrodes are attacking.

Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves.

In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely!
在几十年的重建中，甚至数学自然科学的原型理论的完善，都彻底改变了习惯!
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
我们只是在一颗普通恒星的小行星上生活的猴子的高级品种。但是我们可以理解宇宙。这让我们变得很特别。
Blind faith, no matter how passionately expressed, will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.

In microbiology the roles of mutation and selection in evolution are coming to be better understood through the use of bacterial cultures of mutant strains.
在微生物学中，突变和选择在进化中的作用通过使用突变菌株的细菌培养得到了更好的理解。
And the more profoundly the science of biology reveals the laws of the life and development of living bodies, the more effective is the science of agronomy.
而生物学对生命体的生命和发展规律揭示得越深刻，农艺学就越有效。

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
总有那么一段时间，我们的头脑会获得更高层次的知识，但却永远无法证明它是如何做到这一点的。

人们必须明白，科学本质上既不是善的潜能，也不是恶的潜能。它是一种潜力，被人类利用，以做他的命令。
