Cosmic
Artists should always think of themselves as cosmic instruments for storytelling.
艺术家应该把自己看作是讲故事的宇宙工具。
On a cosmic scale, our life is insignificant, yet this brief period when we appear in the world is the time in which all meaningful questions arise.
在宇宙的尺度上,我们的生命是微不足道的,然而当我们出现在这个世界上的短暂时期,所有有意义的问题都产生了。
Batty as it sounds, subject and style may choose artists, through some unfathomable cosmic means. How else to explain that even artists who enjoy what they do can be perplexed or even horrified that they're doing it?
虽然听起来很古怪,但主题和风格可以通过一些深不可测的宇宙手段来选择艺术家。否则如何解释,即使是喜欢自己所做的事情的艺术家,也会对自己正在做的事情感到困惑甚至恐惧?
In order to make further progress, particularly in the field of cosmic rays, it will be necessary to apply all our resources and apparatus simultaneously and side-by-side; an effort which has not yet been made, or at least, only to a limited extent.
为了取得进一步的进展,特别是在宇宙射线领域,将有必要同时和并排使用我们所有的资源和设备;一项尚未作出的努力,或至少只在有限的范围内作出的努力。
At the heart of every faith system is a bargain: on one side there is the comfort that comes from a narrative that suggests human life has cosmic significance, and on the other a duty to yield to moral commands that can, in the moment, seem rather inconvenient.
每一种信仰体系的核心都是一笔交易:一方面,从一段说明人类生活具有宇宙意义的叙述中获得的慰藉,另一方面,人们有责任服从道德命令,而在目前看来,道德命令可能相当不方便。
