A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科学和科学家
Science And Scientists
Experimentalists never know when their work is finished.
实验主义者永远不知道他们的工作何时完成。
The Church does not pretend to be scientists. It teaches based upon what science tells it.
教会并不假装是科学家。它是基于科学告诉它的东西来教学的。
The whole idea of a nuclear system is to have a deterrent where we decide if we're going to use it.
核系统的整个理念是要有一个威慑力量,在那里我们决定是否要使用它。
Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world.
宇宙在太空中像一个原子一样包围并吞噬着我;我通过思想了解世界。
Moreover, in the experimental sciences, the scientific fraternity must test a new theory to destruction, if possible.
此外,在实验科学中,如果可能的话,科学界必须检验一种新的毁灭理论。
The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom.
世界的未来依赖于原子能,因此需要对原子有更多的了解和知识。
The real scientist is ready to bear privation and, if need be, starvation rather than let anyone dictate to him which direction his work must take.
真正的科学家愿意忍受贫困,如果需要,也愿意忍受饥饿,而不让任何人来指挥他的工作应该朝哪个方向走。
A World is not an ideology nor a scientific institution, nor is it even a system of ideologies; rather, it is a structure of unconscious relations and symbiotic processes.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable.
科学的定义是多种多样的,但今天它通常限于实验的,可重复的,可预测的,可证伪的。
The Laboratory for Radioactivity consisted of only two rooms at the time; at a later date, when tests of radioactive substances became more extensive, it expanded into four rooms.
当时放射性实验室只有两个房间;后来,当对放射性物质的测试变得更加广泛时,它扩展到了四个房间。
During this time I had the singular good fortune of being able to discuss the problem constantly with Einstein. Some experiments done at Einstein's suggestion yielded no decisively new result.
在这段时间里,我有幸能够不断地与爱因斯坦讨论这个问题。按照爱因斯坦的建议所做的一些实验并没有产生决定性的新结果。

沿着这个主题,再读几句。
If any philosopher had been asked for a definition of infinity, he might have produced some unintelligible rigmarole, but he would certainly not have been able to give a definition that had any meaning at all.
如果有哪个哲学家被要求对无穷大下一个定义,他可能会说出一些难以理解的冗长乏味的话,但他肯定无法给出一个有任何意义的定义。
The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.
所有科学的最终目的是洞察未知。你意识到我们对地球的了解比我们对恒星和外太空星系的了解还要少吗?最大的谜团就在这里,就在我们脚下。
