A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
Following the creation concept that creation processes differed from preservation processes, it is suggested that God endowed each created kind, at the time of its creation, with potential for vast variety.
根据创造过程不同于保存过程的创造概念，有人认为上帝在每一种被创造的物种被创造的时候都赋予了巨大的多样性。
Anything can happen in SF. And the fact that nothing ever does happen in SF is only due to the poverty of our imaginations, we who write it or edit it or read it. But SF can in principle deal with anything.
在科幻小说里什么都可能发生。在科幻小说中，什么都没有发生，这仅仅是因为我们缺乏想象力，无论是我们自己写的、编辑的还是阅读的。但顺丰在原则上可以处理任何事情。
Nature is my springboard. From her I get my initial impetus. I have tried to relate the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms.
大自然是我的跳板。我从她那里得到了最初的动力。我试着把看得见的山、树和白茫茫的田野，与风吹过、颜色和形式变化的幻想联系起来。
No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
没有比一串葡萄或无花果更大的东西是突然创造出来的。如果你告诉我你想要无花果，我就回答你，一定要有时间。让它先开花，然后结果，然后成熟。
But I'm a fairly mechanical worker - I tend not to think about themes so much as plot. I want to get the feeling right. If it's moving through tunnels, I ask myself, what is it like to move through tunnels?
但我是一个相当机械的工人——我倾向于思考情节而不是主题。我想要得到正确的感觉。如果它在隧道中移动，我问自己，在隧道中移动是什么感觉?
Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers.
几乎我所做的每件事，都是通过我自己的创造力完成的。我想我从来没有听过别人怎么打鼓。我希望我能为其他一万名鼓手这样说。
My husband is a musician. He cooks and he's a chef but he also, he makes basement recordings. So many people in my life make basement recordings, so I feel very lucky, I'm surrounded by very creative people.
我丈夫是个音乐家。他会做饭，他是个厨师，但他也会在地下室录音。我生活中有很多人在地下室录音，所以我觉得很幸运，我周围都是很有创造力的人。
No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.
不管我用数码相机拍得有多快，我想我都拍不出同样的效果。我对构思想法的热情是独一无二的。这是我工作的重要本质。
I think of myself as a kind of pulverizing machine into which everything I look at and feel is fed. I believe that I am different from the mixed-media jackdaws who use photographs etc.more or less literally.
我认为我自己是一台粉碎机，我看到的和感觉到的一切都是由它提供的。我相信我不同于那些使用照片等文字的混合媒体寒鸦。
When I write a tune - and it's been like this for many years - I always hear in the back of my head some sort of vague, orchestrated, fully fleshed-out big-band version of the song with other parts going on.
当我写一首曲子的时候——多年来一直是这样——我总是在脑海中听到一些模糊的、精心编排的、充实的大乐队版本的歌曲，还有其他部分。
It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.
这是写音乐最酷的部分。我不知道其他人是怎么做的，但我喜欢的这些不同的歌曲融合了很多。这就是为什么它们到处跳。
As I was working I noticed that the way I designed the differential gearing actually created a spare drive that sat directly below the emperor's feet, or where they would be if he were to sit in the chariot.
当我工作的时候，我注意到我设计差动齿轮的方式实际上创造了一个备用驱动器，正好位于皇帝的脚下，或者如果他坐在战车上，他们会在哪里。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The best way to be original is to not copy anyone.
保持原创的最好方法就是不要抄袭别人。
Sometimes things have to be broken and reformed to become truly beautiful.
有时候，为了变得真正的美丽，事物必须被打破和改造。
Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
科学是建立在事实之上的，正如房子是用石头砌成的一样。但是收集事实并不是一门科学，正如一堆石头并不是一所房子一样。
The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.
学校教育的主要目标应该是培养有能力做新事情的男性和女性，而不是简单地重复其他几代人做过的事情。
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
创造力就是把事物联系起来。当你问有创造力的人他们是如何做某件事的，他们会感到有点内疚，因为他们并没有真正做这件事，他们只是看到了一些东西。过了一会儿，他们觉得很明显。这是因为他们能够把自己的经历联系起来，并综合新的事物。
