A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
怀疑
Doubt
I'm not ashamed of any of my papers at all and I'm rather sick of snobs that tell us that they're bad papers, snobs who only read papers that no one else wants. I doubt if they read many papers at all.
我对我的任何一篇论文都不感到羞耻,我对那些自命不凡的人相当反感,他们告诉我们,他们的论文很差,那些自命不凡的人只看别人不想看的论文。我怀疑他们是否读过很多报纸。
Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever.
怀疑你自己,你就怀疑你所看到的一切。评判自己,你会发现到处都有评判。但如果你倾听自己的声音,你就能超越怀疑和判断。你可以看到永远。
If he who employs coercion against me could mould me to his purposes by argument, no doubt he would. He pretends to punish me because his argument is strong; but he really punishes me because his argument is weak.

The interval between the decay of the old and the formation and establishment of the new constitutes a period of transition which must always necessarily be one of uncertainty, confusion, error, and wild and fierce fanaticism.

Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.

Often, we are quick to find blame with others but yet are unable to give constructive responses. There seems to be a tendency to doubt almost everything. Do we not have faith in our own people's strengths and in our institutions? Can we afford distrust amongst ourselves?
通常,我们很快就会指责别人,但却无法给出建设性的回应。似乎有怀疑一切的倾向。难道我们不相信我们自己人民的力量和我们的制度吗?我们能承受彼此间的不信任吗?
I want to know what changed in fully modern humans, compared with Neanderthals, that made a difference. What made it possible for us to build up these enormous societies, and spread around the globe, and develop the technology that I think no one can doubt is unique to humans.
我想知道,与尼安德特人相比,完全现代人类发生了什么变化,从而产生了不同。是什么让我们有可能建立这些庞大的社会,并传播到全球,发展我认为没有人能怀疑的人类独有的技术。
I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences.
我想坦率、明确和毫无疑问地指出:我不认为任何种族、族裔或性别群体在合理判断方面具有优势。我相信每个人都有平等的机会成为一个好的和明智的法官,不管他们的背景或生活经验。
