爱因斯坦的名言名句 爱因斯坦名言录 双语对照

在「科学—认知—人性—生命」里

与爱因斯坦共读人生☺️

关于科学

科学不过是把日常所思加以精炼。The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

没有信念的科学是瘸子，没有科学的信念是瞎子。Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

万有引力可无法对坠入爱河的人负责。Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.

一个物体的质量就是其所含能量的度量单位。The mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.

当你坐在滾烫的火炉上一分钟，感觉起来像是一小时；但坐在一个漂亮姑娘身边一小时，却感觉像一分钟，这就是相对论。When you sit on a stove for a minute, it seems like an hour; when you sit with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

我用比相对论还多的脑力在量子论上。On quantum theory I use up more brain grease than on relativity.

宇宙中唯有两件事物是没有极限的：那就是宇宙的大小和人类的愚蠢，而前者我还不能确定。Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

提出一个问题往往比解决一个问题更为重要，因为解决问题也许只不过是一个数学上或实验上的技能而已。而提出新的问题、新的可能性，从新的角度去看待旧的问题，都需要有创造性的想象力，而且标志着科学的真正进步。The formulation of a proplem is far more often essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and markes real advances in science.

关于认知

我认为只有大胆的臆测，而非事实的积累，才能引领我们向前迈进。I think only bold speculation, not accumulation of facts, can lead us forward.

重要的是不要停止提问，好奇心有其存在的理由。当一个人在思考关于永恒的奥秘、生命的奥秘、现实的奇妙结构时，他会不禁心生敬畏。如果一个人每天试图了解一点这个奥秘也就足够了。The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.

当我们的知识之圆扩大时，我们所面临的未知的圆周也一样。As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darknesssurrounding it.

想象力比知识更重要。因为知识是有限的，而想象力囊括了全世界。Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

深入了解自然，然后你就能更好的理解一切。Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

关于人性

我从不把安逸和快乐看作是生活的本身，这种伦理基础，我叫它“猪圈的理想”。I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty.

要打破一个人的偏见比崩解一个原子还难。It is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom.

每个人都是天才。但是，如果你根据爬树能力来评断一条鱼，那么牠终其一生都会相信自己是愚笨的。Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

关于生命

人生就像骑单车。为了保持平衡，你必须不断向前。Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

如果A代表人生中的成功，则 A = x + y + z 。工作是x，玩乐是y，保持缄默是z。If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

不要试图去做一个成功的人，要努力成为一个有价值的人。Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

一个人的价值，应当看他贡献什么，而不是看他取得什么。The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.

人只有献身于社会，才能找出那实际上短暂而有风险的生命意义。Man can find meaning in life, short and perilousas it is, only through devoting himself to society.

一个从未犯错的人，是因为他不曾尝试新鲜事物。Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

对一切来说，只有热爱才是最好的老师，它远远胜过责任感。For all, only love is the best teacher, it is far better than the responsibility.

所有的宗教、艺术和科学，都是生长在同一棵树上的枝叶。人类对这三方面的追求，都是为了使生命从单纯的物质世界里提升，从而达到自由。All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.

与爱因斯坦的初次相遇

记得第一次与爱因斯坦的相遇是在小学的时候，主要喜爱阅读动物图鉴等“图片丰富”的科普书（一方面比较厌倦文字篇幅占比太大但图片寥寥的文学书），五、六年级那会儿在班主任和邻座同学潜移默化的影响下开始沉迷于世界伟人传，于是我看世界的镜头就从野性十足的北冰洋、亚马逊雨林、马赛马拉大草原和的(dí)的(dí)喀(kā)喀(kā)湖更多的转向、聚焦在探索古往今来人类的智慧和精神世界。

当时学校每年都为全校师生举办一场大型实体书展，图书、画册、绘本...等读物琳琅满目应有尽有，还可以现场挑选、翻阅，并以优惠价格购买，展期持续一个星期，简直是爱阅读的小朋友们的新天地和特大福利。

因缘际会下在一本儿童彩图漫画：

《世界伟人传——伟大的物理家：牛顿&爱因斯坦》

初次遇见古典物理与近代物理的巨擘：牛顿和爱因斯坦，

当镜头拉回14~17世纪，

彼时的欧洲

正走在古典中世纪与文艺复兴激烈碰撞的交叉路口，

科学的夜空，群星闪烁，

牛顿是最耀眼的一颗星。

「 我之所以看得更远，是因为我站在巨人的肩膀上。If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. 」

可对于幼小的我来说，

也许是因为20世纪初的青年爱因斯坦形象更为清晰（有照片），故事背景的代入也更让人有身历其境的感觉吧，

以及关于爱因斯坦

「犹太人—德国出生—瑞士公民—移居美国」的身份转换、

跌宕起伏的求学和职涯路径、

疯狂热爱并锲而不舍的态度、

举世瞩目的《相对论》与和平诉求、

凝聚一生精华宝藏似的名言金句，

一切的一切，震撼与感动，

就像在孩童的心灵土壤中撒下的种子，

渴望破土抽芽并成长茁壮。
