A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科学
Science
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.
我们未能保护科学不受自然的投机性扩展的影响，继续将物理和数学属性赋予超出自然可观测范围的假想实体。
Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.
科学和艺术，或者同样的道理，诗歌和散文就像旅行和远足一样彼此不同。旅行的目的是它的目标，旅行的目的是过程。
The true knowledge or science which exists nowhere but in the mind itself, has no other entity at all besides intelligibility; and therefore whatsoever is clearly intelligible, is absolutely true.
真正的知识或科学只存在于心灵本身，除了可解性之外，根本没有别的实体;因此任何清晰易懂的东西都是绝对正确的。
The central task of science is to arrive, stage by stage, at a clearer comprehension of nature, but this does not at all mean, as it is sometimes claimed to mean, a search for mastery over nature.
科学的中心任务是逐步达到对自然的更清晰的理解，但这并不意味着，它有时被认为意味着，寻求对自然的掌握。
Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves.
人类，作为行为系统，是相当简单的。随着时间的推移，我们行为的表面复杂性很大程度上反映了我们所处环境的复杂性。
Man is manifestly not the measure of all things. This universe is shot through with mystery. The very fact of its being, and of our own, is a mystery absolute, and the only miracle worthy of the name.
人显然不是万物的尺度。这个宇宙充满了神秘。它的存在，以及我们自己的存在，本身就是一个绝对的谜，是唯一值得我们称之为奇迹的东西。
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
毫无疑问，魔术是科学和艺术中最微妙、最困难的学科之一。在理解、判断和实践中出现错误的机会比在物理学的任何其他分支中都要多。
A technical solution may be defined as one that requires a change only in the techniques of the natural sciences, demanding little or nothing in the way of change in human values or ideas of morality.
技术解决方案可以定义为只需要改变自然科学的技术，很少或根本不需要改变人类价值观或道德观念。
I think what's always been interesting to me than the science and the criminality with this job is what happens to your persona, your disposition, after day in and day out dealing with life and death.
我认为，对我来说，比科学和犯罪更有趣的是，在日复一日地面对生与死之后，你的人格和性格发生了什么变化。
Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, and organs.
传统的学术科学把人类描述为高度发达的动物和生物思维机器。我们似乎是由原子、分子、细胞、组织和器官组成的牛顿物体。
The Nobel Prize, so long regarded in our science as the highest reward a man's work can earn, must bring to its recipient a most solemn sense of his debt to his fellow scientists and those of the past.
诺贝尔奖，长期以来在我们的科学界被视为一个人的工作所能获得的最高奖赏，它必须给它的接受者带来一种对他的科学家同行和过去的科学家所负的最庄严的责任的感觉。
Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
了解这个世界，了解它的运作方式，了解任何科学和人类学，这是我们生活的一个非常有趣的地方。进化是一个非常奇妙的想法，甚至比上帝的想法更奇妙。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.
当我们的知识之圈扩大时，围绕着它的黑暗的圆周也随之扩大。
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
有两件事是无限的:宇宙和人类的愚蠢;我对宇宙也不是很确定。
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
我们正处在人类历史的开端。我们努力解决问题并不是没有道理的。但在未来还有数万年。我们的责任是尽我们所能，学习我们所能，改进解决方案，并把它们传递下去。
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
知道现状并不能直接打开通往未来的大门。
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
不是所有有价值的东西都能被计算，也不是所有能被计算的东西都有价值。
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
对于一项成功的技术，现实必须凌驾于公共关系之上，因为自然是不会被愚弄的。
