A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科学
Science
It is only since linguistics has become more aware of its object of study, i.e. perceives the whole extent of it, that it is evident that this science can make a contribution to a range of studies that will be of interest to almost anyone.
只有当语言学对它的研究对象有了更多的认识，也就是对它的整个范围有了更多的认识之后，很明显，这门科学才能对几乎所有人都感兴趣的一系列研究作出贡献。
Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been.
一切都充满了危险。我爱科技，我爱科学。它只是你使用它的方式。所以你不能把这归咎于科技。这只是人们使用它的方式，而且一直如此。
I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.
我不认为科学方法和科幻方法是真正相似的。关于它们的问题是，这两种方法都没有得到很好的实践，至少不是有意识的。但事实上，它们是有条理的，确实把它们联系起来了。
Insulin is not a cure for diabetes; it is a treatment. It enables the diabetic to burn sufficient carbohydrates, so that proteins and fats may be added to the diet in sufficient quantities to provide energy for the economic burdens of life.
胰岛素不能治愈糖尿病;这是一种治疗。它能使糖尿病人燃烧足够的碳水化合物，因此，蛋白质和脂肪可以添加到饮食中，以提供足够的能量，为生活的经济负担。
Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon, which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified, is what we shall have to deal with first of all.
纯现象学声称是研究纯现象的科学。这一现象的概念，早在十八世纪就以各种不同的名称发展起来，却没有加以澄清，这就是我们首先要处理的问题。
The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about.
整个科学，人们很容易认为任何有思想的人的一生，都是在试图处理你自己和自然世界之间的关系。你为什么在这里，你如何融入这里，这一切都是为了什么。
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
我们能经历的最美好的事情就是神秘。它是所有真正艺术和科学的源泉。如果一个人对这种情感是陌生的，他再也不能停下来思考，再也不能全神贯注地敬畏地站着，那他就等于死了:他的眼睛是闭着的。
The modern mind tends to be more and more critical and analytical in spirit, hence it must devise for itself an engine of expression which is logically defensible at every point and which tends to correspond to the rigorous spirit of modern science.
现代思维在精神上越来越具有批判性和分析性，因此它必须为自己设计一种表达引擎，这种引擎在任何一点上都是逻辑上站得住脚的，而且往往与现代科学的严谨精神相对应。
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken', and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen.
在科学领域，科学家们经常会说，‘你知道这是一个很好的论点;我的立场是错误的’，然后他们就会改变主意，你就再也听不到他们的旧观点了。他们真的做到了。它不会发生。
In the discovery of secret things and in the investigation of hidden causes, stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures and the opinions of philosophical speculators of the common sort.
在发现秘密的事物和研究隐藏的原因时，从可靠的实验和论证中得到的理由比从一般哲学投机者的推测和意见中得到的理由更充分。
To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit.
在我看来，诺贝尔奖最重要的一个方面是，它使各国人民的群众认识到他们的共同利益。他们把国际精神带给那些与科学没有直接接触的人。
It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole.
科学的作用是发现自然界普遍秩序的存在，并找出支配这种秩序的原因。这同样指的是人的关系- -社会和政治的关系- -以及整个宇宙作为一个整体的关系。

在一个和我们一样快的世界里写科幻小说是很奇怪的。
