A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
无知
Ignorance
A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.
像孩子一样的男人不是发育受阻的人;相反，他给了自己一个继续发展的机会，即使大多数成年人早已将自己包裹在中年习惯和习俗的茧中。
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.
人们总是害怕改变。当电被发明时，人们害怕电，不是吗?人们害怕煤炭，他们害怕汽油发动机……无知总是存在的，无知导致恐惧。但随着时间的推移，人们会接受他们的硅主子。
It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.
正是在承认无知和承认不确定性的过程中，人类才有希望朝着某个方向不断地运动，而不是像人类历史上的不同时期那样，被限制，被永久地阻挡。
Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods -- moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former -- but no opinion.
意见是在公开讨论和公开辩论的过程中形成的，在没有形成意见的机会的地方，可能会有情绪——群众的情绪和个人的情绪，个人的情绪和群众的情绪一样反复无常和不可靠——但没有意见。
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
如果你一旦丧失了同胞们的信任，你就永远无法重新获得他们的尊重和尊重。的确，有时候你可能会愚弄所有的人;你甚至可以一直愚弄一些人;但是你不可能一直愚弄所有的人。
I never considered I might make a career out of writing as I was going to school, so when I did turn my attentions that way, I was very ill prepared, having only what I read as a guide, and no formal training whatsoever. I credit that very ignorance with a great deal of my success.
我从来没有想过我会像上学一样把写作作为我的职业，所以当我把注意力转向写作时，我准备得很差，只有我所读到的作为指导，没有任何正式的培训。我把我的成功很大程度上归功于这种无知。
I've wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver.
我从小就想成为一名作家，尽管这似乎不太可能，因为我没有显示出真正的才华。但我坚持了下来，最终找到了自己的那排锄头。对其他作家作品的无知使我不会灰心丧气，我的阅读量也不如一般的公共汽车司机。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.
真正的智慧与其说是自以为是，不如说是愚蠢。智慧人屡次疑惑，就改变心意。愚妄人固执，不疑惑。除了自己的无知，他什么都知道。
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.
人生来无知，而不是愚蠢。他们因受教育而变得愚蠢。
Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
无知是上帝的诅咒;知识是我们借以飞向天堂的翅膀。
The prejudices of ignorance are more easily removed than the prejudices of interest; the first are all blindly adopted, the second willfully preferred.
无知的偏见比兴趣的偏见更容易消除;第一种方法都是盲目采用的，第二种方法则是故意选择的。
For my part I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.
就我而言，我相信罪的赦免和无知的救赎。
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
无知比知识更容易带来自信:正是那些知道得很少的人，而不是那些知道得很多的人，如此积极地断言这个或那个问题永远不会被科学解决。
