A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科学
Scientific
I understand what happens to the brain when people are near death, and I had always believed there were good scientific explanations for the heavenly out-of-body journeys described by those who narrowly escaped death.
我理解濒死之人的大脑会发生什么，我一直相信，对于那些死里逃生的人所描述的天堂般的灵魂出窍之旅，有很好的科学解释。
I am pleased to be considered a 'denier' in this cause if this puts me in the class with those who defied prevailing 'scientific consensus' that the earth was flat and that the earth was the not the center of the universe.
我很高兴在这个问题上被认为是一个“否决者”，如果这让我和那些反对地球是平的、地球不是宇宙中心这一普遍的“科学共识”的人站在一起的话。
Privacy about giving is counterproductive. There is solid scientific research showing that people are more likely to give if they can see that others are giving. The richest people, in particular, should be setting an example.
关于给予的隐私会适得其反。有可靠的科学研究表明，如果人们能看到别人在付出，他们就更有可能付出。尤其是那些最富有的人，应该树立一个榜样。
The powers, aspirations, and mission of man are such as to raise the study of his origin and nature, inevitably and by the very necessity of the case, from the mere physiological to the psychological stage of scientific operations.
人的力量、愿望和使命，就是要把对人的起源和本性的研究，从科学活动的单纯的生理阶段，提高到科学活动的心理阶段，这是必然的，也是必然的。
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。
There is no scientific discoverer, no poet, no painter, no musician, who will not tell you that he found ready made his discovery or poem or picture - that it came to him from outside, and that he did not consciously create it from within.
没有一个科学的发现者，没有一个诗人，没有一个画家，没有一个音乐家不告诉你，他发现了现成的发现，无论是诗歌还是绘画，都是来自外部的，而不是他有意识地从内部创造出来的。
Advances in technology will continue to reach far into every sector of our economy. Future job and economic growth in industry, defense, transportation, agriculture, health care, and life sciences is directly related to scientific advancement.
技术进步将继续深入到我们经济的每一个部门。工业、国防、交通、农业、卫生保健和生命科学领域未来的就业和经济增长与科学进步直接相关。
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.
有趣的是，那些被认为是科学家的人却不能让自己意识到物理学的基本原理，即行为和反应是平等的、相反的，当你迫害别人时，你总是激励他们变得越来越强大。
Direction coupling between the various radiations generated in a nuclear reaction both with one another and with the initiating radiation can also be detected and measured by coincidences; this provides valuable information about the structure of the atomic nuclei.
在核反应中产生的各种辐射相互之间以及与初始辐射之间的方向耦合也可以用巧合来探测和测量;这提供了有关原子核结构的有价值的信息。
I take what I see work. I'm a strict believer in the scientific principle of believing nothing, only taking the best evidence available at the present time, interpreting it as best you can, and leaving your mind open to the fact that new evidence will appear tomorrow.
我接受我所看到的工作。我坚信“什么都不相信”的科学原则，只接受目前最好的证据，尽你所能去解释它，并让你的大脑接受明天将会出现新证据的事实。
We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge, and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference, unmixed with considerations of a different order.
我们可以接受这样一种观点，即摩西书并不是为了传授我们科学知识而流传下来的，我们有责任把我们的科学信念建立在观察和推理的基础上，不掺杂其他顺序的考虑。
We should reserve the notion of 'morality' for the ways in which we can affect one another's experience for better or worse. Some people use the term 'morality' differently, of course, but I think we have a scientific responsibility to focus the conversation so as to make it most useful.
我们应该保留“道德”的概念，以使我们能够以何种方式影响彼此的经历，无论好坏。当然，有些人使用“道德”一词的方式不同，但我认为，我们有科学责任集中讨论，使其最有用。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Dreams are a scientific fact.
梦是科学事实。
This means that to entrust to science - or to deliberate control according to scientific principles - more than scientific method can achieve may have deplorable effects.
这意味着，对科学的信任——或根据科学原则的刻意控制——超过科学方法所能达到的程度，可能会产生可悲的后果。
The people who work in the scientific field, they need help to convey what it's about.
在科学领域工作的人，他们需要帮助来传达它是关于什么的。
People are not the only interesting organism on earth. From the point of view of scientific or commercial value, there are lots of interesting organisms.
人类并不是地球上唯一有趣的生物。从科学或商业价值的角度来看，有许多有趣的生物体。
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。
