A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
数学
Math
If your theory is found to be against the second law of theromodynamics, I give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.
如果你的理论被发现违反热力学第二定律，我不给你希望;它只能在极度的耻辱中崩溃。
The development of a rational view of the nature of catalysis was thus absolutely dependent on the creation of the concept of the rate of chemical reaction.
因此，对催化本质的理性看法的发展完全依赖于对化学反应速率概念的创造。
Eccentric doesn't bother me. 'Eccentric' being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay.
古怪并不困扰我。“古怪”是对数学术语的诗意解释，意思是不符合规律的东西——没关系。
On my return to Pittsburgh, I resolved to go back to the fundamental problems of electronic structure that I had contemplated abstractly many years earlier.
回到匹兹堡后，我决定回到我多年前抽象思考过的电子结构的基本问题。
It has yet to be shown by direct biochemical methods, as opposed to the indirect genetic evidence mentioned earlier, that the code is indeed a triplet code.
与之前提到的间接遗传证据相反，直接的生化方法还没有证明这个密码确实是一个三重密码。
We could not, for example, arrive at a principle like that of entropy without introducing some additional principle, such as randomness, to this topography.
例如，我们不可能在不引入一些额外的原理(如随机性)的情况下，就得出熵的原理。
The numbers may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician.
数字可以说是整个数量世界的规则，算术的四条规则可以说是数学家的全部工具。
It is still true that it is easier to compose a poem in the form of a manual for adjusting a VCR than it is to write a piece using just tuning as a symphony.
确实，以调整录像机的手册的形式写一首诗要比仅仅把调弦当作交响乐来写一首诗容易得多。
I've taught statistics, math courses and what I've found is that often if you teach them algebraically the formulas, you'll have one group of kids doing well.
我教过统计学和数学课程，我发现如果你经常用代数方法教他们公式，你会让一组孩子做得很好。
We must always emphasize research and development of science and mathematics, and I can think of no better way to achieve this than through our future in space.
我们必须始终强调科学和数学的研究和发展，我想不出比通过我们在太空的未来更好的方法来实现这一点。
My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set.
我对科学的兴趣从最开始的数学开始，后来在高中早期的化学和众所周知的家庭化学。
There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.
对任何物理理论来说，没有比这更公平的命运了:它应该为一种更全面的理论指明道路，在这种理论中，它作为一种极限情况而存在。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high, though, I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.
大部分时间我喜欢学校，取得了好成绩。然而在初中的时候，我在数学上遇到了一个绊脚石——我常常回到家哭，因为我是多么的沮丧!但是经过几位好老师的努力和不懈的努力，我最终爱上了数学，甚至在我上大学时选择了数学作为我的专业。
All musicians are subconsciously mathematicians.
所有的音乐家都是潜意识里的数学家。
Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.
纯粹的数学家只是喜欢尝试未解决的问题——他们喜欢挑战。
One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies.
可以想象，最终的数学家是一个能在类比之间看到类比的人。
If mathematics is to be understood widely, we need to emphasise its elegance and its applications. Sometimes it seems that universities want to emphasise how difficult it is!
要使数学得到广泛的理解，我们需要强调它的优雅及其应用。有时候，大学似乎想强调这是多么困难!
Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.
数学可以被定义为这样一门学科:我们永远不知道自己在说什么，也不知道自己所说的是否属实。
