A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understanding
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is part of the penalty for greatness, and every man understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness.
一个人，无论他是什么人，无论他做什么事，肯定会受到批评、诋毁和误解。这是对伟大的惩罚的一部分，每个人也都明白，这不是伟大的证明。
Words are power. The more words you know and can recognize, use, define, understand, the more power you will have as a human being... The more language you know, the more likely it is that no one can get over on you."
话语是权力。你知道并能够识别、使用、定义、理解的词汇越多，你作为一个人就会拥有越多的力量……你知道的语言越多，就越有可能没人能忘记你。”
The overall view of the human genome project has been one of great excitement and positive press, but there are people who have concerns that are quite reasonable, and they are frightened of things they don't understand.
人类基因组计划的整体观点一直是非常令人兴奋和积极的，但也有人有相当合理的担忧，他们害怕自己不理解的事情。
Who of us is able to read and understand and be entirely confident of the validity of his title to the land he lives on, and which he has redeemed from a state of nature by the most indefatigable industry and perseverance?

In order to understand what they need to understand, in order to write what they write, they have to be free. And yet, they aren't ever free. They are not free because they are not free of the constrictions their art puts on them.
为了理解他们需要理解的东西，为了写他们写的东西，他们必须是自由的。然而，他们从来没有自由过。他们之所以不自由，是因为他们无法摆脱艺术给他们施加的束缚。
When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.
当神爱一个受造之物时，他要受造之物知道最大的幸福和最深的痛苦，他要他知道活着所能带来的一切。那是他最好的礼物。只有理解整体才是幸福。
Everything we do is in service of our needs. When this one concept is applied to our view of others, we'll see that we have no real enemies, that what others do to us is the best possible thing they know to do to get their needs met.

The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.

When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.
当一个科学家走在时代的前面，往往是由于对当前的误解，而不是对未来真理的直觉。在科学领域，从来没有任何错误如此严重，以至于有一天，从某种角度来看，它不会显得具有预言性。
Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is.
科学是西方思想的工具，用它打开的门比徒手打开的要多。它是我们知识的重要组成部分，只有当我们的洞察力认为它所给予的理解是唯一存在的时候，它才会蒙蔽我们的洞察力。
People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth.
