A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
哲学家
Philosophers
You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.
你们哲学家是幸运的人。你写在纸上，纸是耐心的。我是不幸的皇后，我写在易受伤害的人的皮肤上。
The profoundest thoughts of the philosophers have something trickle about them. A lot disappears in order for something to suddenly appear in the palm of the hand.
哲学家们最深刻的思想也有一些细微之处。很多东西为了突然出现在掌心而消失。
A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known.
从阿米巴变形虫到人类的过程在哲学家们看来是一个明显的进步，尽管阿米巴变形虫是否会同意这一观点还不清楚。
We are not to give credit to the many, who say that none ought to be educated but the free; but rather to the philosophers, who say that the well-educated alone are free.
许多人说，除了自由的人，没有人应当受教育。而是对哲学家们说，只有受过良好教育的人才是自由的。
The tendency of philosophers who know nothing of machinery is to talk of man as a mere mechanism, intending by this to imply that he is without purpose. This shows a lack of understanding of machines as well as of man.
对机械一无所知的哲学家倾向于把人仅仅看作一种机械，并以此暗示人是没有目的的。这表明我们对机器和人类都缺乏了解。
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
对于今天那些盲目的批评家和哲学家来说，单个的科幻故事可能和以往一样微不足道，但是科幻小说的核心，它的本质已经成为拯救我们的关键，如果我们想被拯救的话。
It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.
哲学家们对幽默的关注之少总是让我感到惊讶，因为幽默是一种比理性更重要的思维过程。理性只能理清认知，但幽默的过程涉及到改变它们。
