A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
发现
Discovery
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
正是在这样的一个晚上，人们感到真、善和美是一体的。早晨，当他们把他们的发现写在纸上，当其他人读到写在纸上的东西时，这看起来完全是荒谬的。
There is no area of the world that should not be investigated by scientists. There will always remain some questions that have not been answered. In general, these are the questions that have not yet been posed.
世界上没有任何地方不应该被科学家研究。总会有一些问题没有得到解答。一般来说，这些问题尚未提出。
It is a mortifying truth, and ought to teach the wisest of us humility, that many of the most valuable discoveries have been the result of chance rather than of contemplation, and of accident rather than of design.
这是一个令人痛心的事实，也应该让我们当中最聪明的人懂得谦卑:许多最有价值的发现，都是偶然的结果，而不是深思熟虑的结果，都是偶然的结果，而不是精心设计的结果。
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice
要更有效地阻止真理的发现，不是因为眼前的假象，也不是因为推理能力的弱点，而是因为先入之见和偏见
Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a perpetual succession of miracles rising into view.
欣赏是一种很短暂的激情，但一旦你对它的对象熟悉了，这种激情就会立即消失。
What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.
如果我们不能越过分隔我们和我们自己的深渊，那么驶向月球又有什么好处呢?这是所有发现之旅中最重要的一次，没有它，其他所有的航行不仅毫无用处，而且是灾难性的。
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.
伟大的发现和进步总是需要许多人的合作。我可能因为开辟了这条道路而受到赞扬，但当我看到后来的发展时，我觉得这是别人的功劳，而不是我自己的。
