A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事实
Facts
We give you the facts. I told you information is power - knowledge is power. We can't be in an ideological battle to redeem the soul of this country if we don't have the facts.
我们告诉你事实。我告诉过你信息就是力量——知识就是力量。如果我们没有事实,我们就不可能在意识形态的斗争中拯救这个国家的灵魂。
Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.
那些忘记善与恶,只想知道事实的人比那些通过扭曲自己欲望的媒介来看待世界的人更有可能获得善。
I often wish... that I could rid the world of the tyranny of facts. What are facts but compromises? A fact merely marks the point where we have agreed to let investigation cease.
我经常希望……我可以摆脱事实的暴政。除了妥协,什么是事实?一个事实仅仅标志着我们已同意停止调查。
All significant truths are private truths. As they become public they cease to become truths; they become facts, or at best, part of the public character; or at worst, catchwords.
所有重要的事实都是私人的事实。当它们公诸于众时,就不再成为真理;它们成为事实,或者至多成为公众性格的一部分;或者最坏的情况是,流行语。
The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.
物理学的基本定律不能描述关于现实的真实事实。作为对事实的描述,它们是错误的;如果修正为正确,它们就失去了解释的力量。
The importance of the facts testified, and their relations to the affairs of the soul, and the life to come, can make no difference in the principles or the mode of weighing the evidence.
所证明的事实的重要性,以及它们与灵魂事务和未来生活的关系,在衡量证据的原则或方式上是没有区别的。
The more facts you tell, the more you sell. An advertisement's chance for success invariably increases as the number of pertinent merchandise facts included in the advertisement increases.
你讲的事实越多,你卖的东西就越多。广告成功的机会总是随着广告中包含的相关商品事实的数量的增加而增加。
Our experiments not only proved the existence of a nervous apparatus in the above-mentioned glands, but also disclosed some facts clearly showing the participation of these nerves in normal activity.
我们的实验不仅证明了上述腺体中存在神经组织,而且揭示了一些事实,清楚地表明这些神经参与了正常的活动。
The facts of science are real enough, and so are the techniques that scientists use, and so are the technologies based on them. But the belief system that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith.
科学的事实是足够真实的,科学家使用的技术也是如此,基于它们的技术也是如此。但是,支配传统科学思维的信仰体系是一种信仰行为。
Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared.
我们的政治现在看起来如此艰难,而事实、科学和争论似乎并没有一直获胜,部分原因在于我们天生就不会在害怕的时候总是清晰地思考。
False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.
错误的事实对科学的进步是非常有害的,因为它们往往持续很长时间;但是,错误的观点,如果有一些证据支持,几乎没有什么害处,因为每个人都乐于证明自己的错误。
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.
我相信想象力比知识更强大——神话比历史更强大——梦想比事实更强大——希望永远战胜经验——欢笑是治愈悲伤的良药——爱比死亡更强大。

我知道那些野蛮的骑手和空地将永远消失……我越想这个问题,永远的阴影就越深。不知道该怎么做,我开始记录周围的一些事实,我看得越多,全景就展现得越多。
Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.
相信你的直觉。它们通常是建立在低于意识水平的事实基础上的。

你不可能从一份报纸上得到所有的事实,除非你掌握了所有的事实,否则你无法对正在发生的事情做出正确的判断。

Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
