A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科学
Scientific
By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.
通过微观观察和天文投影,莲花可以成为整个宇宙理论的基础和我们感知真理的媒介。
The credit which the apparent conformity with recognized scientific standards can gain for seemingly simple but false theories may, as the present instance shows, have grave consequences.
正如目前的例子所表明的那样,表面上符合公认的科学标准的人可以从看似简单而错误的理论中获得荣誉,这可能会产生严重的后果。
I used to think there was a scientific way to do things. Like a proper way to answer a question or that kind of stuff. It's like, there's not! There's not a method, there's not a science to it.
我曾经认为有一种科学的方法来做事情。比如回答问题的正确方式之类的。就像,没有!没有方法,没有科学。
Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.
工业机会将更多地来自生物科学,而不是化学和物理。我认为生物学是下一代科学突破的最大领域。
Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply a refusal to deny the obvious. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which the obvious is overlooked as a matter of principle.
无神论不是一种哲学;它甚至不是一种世界观;这只是拒绝否认显而易见的事实。不幸的是,我们生活在一个把显而易见的东西作为原则而被忽视的世界里。
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
一个新的科学真理不是通过说服它的对手并让他们看到光明而取得胜利,而是因为它的对手最终会消亡,而熟悉它的新一代会成长起来。
The images attempt to capture scientific thought. They represent the physical manifestation of the thought process. Everything in the laboratory is a product of a stream of conscious or unconscious thought.
这些图像试图捕捉科学思想。它们代表了思维过程的物理表现。实验室里的一切都是有意识或无意识思维的产物。
It is disappointing and embarrassing to the science profession that some Nobel Laureates would deliberately use their well deserved scientific reputations and hold themselves out as experts in other fields.
一些诺贝尔奖得主故意利用他们理应享有的科学声誉,在其他领域自诩为专家,这让科学界感到失望和尴尬。
The basic scientific conclusions on climate change are very robust and for good reason. The greenhouse effect is simple science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting ever more greenhouse gases.
关于气候变化的基本科学结论非常有力,而且有充分的理由。温室效应是一门简单的科学:温室气体捕捉热量,而人类正在排放越来越多的温室气体。
To the intelligent man with an interest in human nature it must often appear strange that so much of the energy of the scientific world has been spent on the study of the body and so little on the study of the mind.
对于一个对人性感兴趣的聪明人来说,科学界把如此多的精力花在对身体的研究上,而对心灵的研究却如此之少,这一定常常显得很奇怪。
While advances in scientific research have led to some new and exciting treatments that have enlarged and enhanced the quality and length of human life, we must not lose sight as to what we are trying to accomplish.
尽管科学研究的进步导致了一些新的令人兴奋的治疗方法,这些方法已经扩大和提高了人类的生活质量和寿命,但我们决不能忽视我们正在努力实现的目标。
The final outcome cannot be known, either to the originator of a new theory, or to his colleagues and critics, who are bent on falsifying it. Thus, the scientific innovator may feel all the more lonely and uncertain.
最终的结果是无法知道的,无论是对一个新理论的创始人,还是对他的同事和批评者,谁决心要证伪它。因此,科学创新者可能会感到更加孤独和不确定。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Dogs get lost hundreds of times and no one ever notices it or sends an account of it to a scientific magazine.
狗狗们会迷路数百次,但从来没有人注意到它,也没有人把它的情况告诉科学杂志。
Scientific discovery and scientific knowledge have been achieved only by those who have gone in pursuit of it without any practical purpose whatsoever in view.
科学发现和科学知识只有那些没有任何实际目的去追求的人才能取得。
It makes sense to invest in new work. It's almost like having a research department in a scientific laboratory. You have to try things out. You'll make some bad mistakes. Some things will fail but at least you'll energise the organisation.
投资于新工作是有意义的。这就像在科学实验室里有一个研究部门。你必须尝试一些事情。你会犯一些严重的错误。有些事情会失败,但至少你会让公司充满活力。
But what sin is to the moralist and crime to the jurist so to the scientific man is ignorance.
但是,对于道德家来说,罪恶是什么;对于法学家来说,犯罪是什么;对于科学家来说,无知也是什么。
My invention, (the motion picture camera), can be exploited... as a scientific curiosity, but apart from that it has no commercial value whatsoever.
我的发明,(电影摄影机),可以被利用…但除此之外,它没有任何商业价值。
The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
科学发现的过程实际上是对奇迹的不断逃避。
