A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想知道
Wonder
You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
有时你不得不怀疑你在外面做什么。多年来,我给了自己一千个坚持跑步的理由,但总会回到起点。归根结底是自我满足和成就感。
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。
A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.
一个事实从来没有和一个奇迹结合在一起。真理蔑视奇迹的帮助。一个事实将与宇宙中的其他所有事实相吻合,这就是你如何辨别它是否是一个事实的方法。谎言只适用于另一个谎言。
In fact, from then on scholars engaged in a kind of game of comparing different Indo-European languages with one another, and eventually they could not fail to wonder what exactly these connections showed, and how they should be interpreted in concrete terms.
事实上,从那时起,学者们就开始玩一种游戏,把印欧语系的不同语言进行比较,最后他们不禁想知道这些联系到底说明了什么,以及应该如何用具体的术语来解释它们。
The miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always.
教会的奇迹在我看来与其说休息在面孔、声音或治愈能力突然从远处接近我们,但在我们感知细,这一会儿我们的眼睛可以看到,我们的耳朵能听到有什么我们总是。
When somebody listens and laughs, you're always in better shape than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that.
当别人听你说,笑你的时候,你的身体总是比那些当你说有趣的事情的时候只是看着你的人的时候更好。你想知道他们看着你是不是因为他们没说出来而生气。这很难处理。
Whether one sees the world as God's creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito.
无论一个人把世界看作是上帝的创造,还是科学正在探索的一个世俗的谜,从山脉、沙漠、雨林到普通蚊子设计的精美细节,一切都是美丽和威严的,这是不可否认的。
It's odd, because I used to see pictures, on telly or wherever, of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well, now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something, it maybe isn't what you thought it was.
这很奇怪,因为我过去经常在电视上或其他地方看到照片,我现在知道的是沙夫茨伯里大道,我曾经想知道那条灯火通明的迷人街道是什么样子的。现在我知道了。我想当你对某样东西有一点点感觉的时候,它可能并不是你想象的那样。
KEEP EXPLORING

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
让你的眼睛充满惊奇,活得就像你在十秒钟内死去一样。看世界。这比在工厂里制造或支付的任何梦想都要美妙。
I don't feel like I've hit my stride. So I wonder what the moment will be when I get to be who I want to be.
我觉得我还没有达到我的目标。所以我想知道当我成为我想成为的人的那一刻会是什么样子。
