A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
观察
Observation
We cannot observe external things without some degree of Thought; nor can we reflect upon our Thoughts, without being influenced in the course of our reflection by the Things which we have observed.
没有一定程度的思考，我们无法观察外部事物;我们也不能不受我们所观察到的事物的影响而反思我们的思想。
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
对我来说，摄影是一种观察的艺术。它是关于在一个普通的地方发现一些有趣的东西…我发现这与你所看到的事物无关，而是与你看待事物的方式有关。
In the end, they pardoned me and packed me off to a home for the shell-shocked. Shortly before the end of the war, I was discharged a second time, once again with the observation that I was subject to recall at any time.
最后，他们原谅了我，把我送到了一个患有炮弹休克症的家庭。就在战争结束前不久，我第二次被释放了，再次被释放的原因是我随时都可能回忆起当时的观察结果。
Surely it is time to examine into the meaning of words and the nature of things, and to arrive at simple facts, not received upon the dictum of learned authorities, but upon attentive personal observation of what is passing around us.
当然，现在是时候研究语言的意义和事物的本质，并得出一些简单的事实，这些事实不是根据有学问的权威的格言而得到的，而是根据我们对周围发生的事情的仔细观察而得到的。
Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it "creative observation." Creative viewing.
除非观察到，否则什么也不存在。艺术家通过观察使某种东西存在。他对其他人的希望是，他们也会通过观察来让它存在。我称之为“创造性观察”。创造性的观察。
We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge, and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference, unmixed with considerations of a different order.
我们可以接受这样一种观点，即摩西书并不是为了传授我们科学知识而流传下来的，我们有责任把我们的科学信念建立在观察和推理的基础上，不掺杂其他顺序的考虑。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
How pathetically scanty my self-knowledge is compared with, say, my knowledge of my room. There is no such thing as observation of the inner world, as there is of the outer world.
与我对自己房间的了解相比，我的自知之明是多么可怜地贫乏。没有像观察外部世界那样观察内部世界的事情。
My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty... it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
我的观察是，只要有一个人被发现能胜任某项工作，……两个人做的效果更差，如果三个或更多的人同时做的话，效果就更差了。
All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invcention.
所有的感知也是思考，所有的推理也是直觉，所有的观察也是发明。
It's a great mistake, I think, to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense, when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.
我认为，当孩子们日益增长的观察力和辨别能力激起他们对事物的渴望时，用谎言和胡言乱语来搪塞他们是大错特错的。
You have to have some kind of power of observation, almost like a trained observer.
你必须有一定的观察力，就像一个训练有素的观察者。
