到香港科學館看愛因斯坦的展覽，在展館外讀到一些有意思的字句，摘錄與各位分享：
科學的內容不過就是日常思考的提煉
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
人生就像騎單車，想保持平衡就得往前走
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
一個從沒犯錯的人，是一個從沒嘗試新事物的人
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
我沒有甚麼特別才能，不過是喜歡尋根究底地追求問題罷了
I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.
人只有在超越自我的時候，才真正開始生活
A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.
想像比知識更重要。知識是有限的，而想像力卻圍繞著整個地球
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
每個困境當中都有機會
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
有兩樣東西使我產生敬畏之情──頭頂的星空和內心的精神宇宙
Two things inspire me to awe – the starry heavens above and the moral universe within.
不是每件可以數算的事情是有意義的；也不是每一件有意義的事情，都能夠數算出來
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
教育就是當一個人把在學校所學全部忘光之後剩下的東西
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.
如果A代表人生中的成功，那麼A = x + y + z。x代表勤奮工作，y代表玩樂，而z表示少說空話
If A is success in life, then A = x + y + z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
栗最喜歡最後一句，不知各位又如何？
is there a two-character Chinese expression for inquisitive? I read somewhere that when men do it, it's called inquisitive, but when women do it, it's called nosiness I am neutral on the last one, because I minimize x, maximize y, and middle of the road, on the minimum side, on z...
回覆刪除[版主回覆05/05/2011 06:18:00]inquisitive = 好奇？ On inquisitive & nosiness: 寫那個人肯定是男人啦
想像比知識更重要。想像是有限的，而想像力卻圍繞著整個地球 Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
回覆刪除這一句錯了！
[版主回覆05/05/2011 06:18:00]Explanation, please.
中英不對照！中文說想像有限，英文卻是 Knowledge is limited.
回覆刪除[版主回覆05/05/2011 08:36:00]我發雞盲 :p
謝謝指正!
Ok, I thought 好奇 was curious... By maybe inquisitive is similar. Anyway, no, it was said by feminists, who were lamenting on the cultural norm of the times. They had a good point, methinks.
回覆刪除[版主回覆05/07/2011 14:44:00]If not 好奇, I can't think of another two-character expression.
栗妹，請問展覽精彩嗎？我本想今日連看兩個展覽（辛亥革命一百年＋愛恩斯坦），但看辛亥革命已看了兩小時，然後還走了一轉「香港故事館」（以前未去過，完來展館很大。記錄片十分精彩！下次會帶父母去看），累得很。之後去到科學館見到有很多人，便打消念頭，想遲些約朋友去。
回覆刪除[版主回覆05/08/2011 07:02:00]芝：我覺得今次的展覽只屬一般，不及之前達文西的展覽有趣。 香港故事館我很喜歡，上次只是略略逛了一圈，希望有機會再詳細看展品。 我上次去科學館也是人頭湧湧，可能要早上剛開館時去，人流才會少一點吧？ 我上次連逛兩個展覽，累得要死，不如今天看場電影，好好休息一下吧
