A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
运动
Motions
If the greatest god is the stillness all the motions add up to, then we must ineluctably be included.
如果最伟大的上帝是所有运动加起来的静止，那么我们就不可避免地要包括在内。
For it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions through careful and expert study.
因为天文学家有责任通过仔细而专业的研究来撰写天体运动的历史。
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work - they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps.
这正是我看到奴隶在工作时的想法——他们似乎在做着没有力气的劳动。它们把自己的力量储存起来，也许在晚上自己使用。
Accordingly, since nothing prevents the earth from moving, I suggest that we should now consider also whether several motions suit it, so that it can be regarded as one of the planets. For, it is not the center of all the revolutions.
因此，既然没有什么能阻止地球运动，我建议我们现在也应该考虑几个运动是否适合它，这样它就可以被看作是行星之一。因为，它不是所有革命的中心。
I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this book which I have written concerning the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, I ascribe certain motions to the Earth, they will cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected.
我最圣洁的父阿，我可以很容易地设想，当有人在我所写的这本关于天体运行的书中，知道我把某些运动归于地球时，他们会立刻大声疾呼，说我和我的理论应该被拒绝。
