We are living through a golden age of science writing, so lucid and accessible that even lay readers can relish the unpredictability of discovery. Daunted by uncertainty? Stand in the shoes of scientists and witness the degree to which breakthroughs emerge from accidents, conflict and sheer mental stamina. “We are never sure of anything,” says the physicist (and writer) Carlo Rovelli.
我们正处在科普写作的黄金时代,这些作品清晰易懂,就连外行读者也能尽情体会科学发现的不可预测性。被不确定性吓倒了吗?站在科学家的角度,见证突破在多大程度上源自意外、冲突和纯粹的精神毅力。“我们从来都不能确定任何事情,”物理学家(兼作家)卡洛·罗韦利说。
When you find yourself taking a situation personally, try to think of other interpretations that are less focused on you — especially in the sense of saying anything deep or [fundamental] about you.
当你发现自己把某种情形往自己身上揽时,试着想想其他不那么以你为中心的解释——尤其是那些不涉及对你作出任何深层或根本性评价的解释。
Oman rated Scovell’s significance highly, but at the same time, the general nature of his History meant that (48) he could not analyze carefully what this obscure officer may or may not have contributed to that great struggle between nations or indeed tell us anything much about the man himself.
欧曼对斯科维尔的重要性评价很高,但与此同时,由于他的《半岛战争史》是一部通史,(48)他无法仔细分析这位无名军官在那场国家间的伟大斗争中可能做出或未曾做出的贡献,也无法告诉我们关于此人的更多情况。
The Republican penned order not only eliminated the strict net neutrality rules the FCC had adopted when it had a Democratic majority in 2015, but rejected the commission’s authority to require broadband providers to do much of anything.
这项由共和党人起草的命令不仅废除了FCC在2015年民主党占多数时通过的严格的网络中立规则,而且否定了该委员会要求宽带提供商做几乎任何事情的权力。
There is a better way to win arguments. Imagine that you favor increasing the minimum wage in our state, and I do not. If you yell, “Yes,” and I yell, “No,” neither of us learns anything. We neither understand nor respect each other, and we have no basis for compromise or cooperation. In contrast, suppose you give a reasonable argument: that full-time workers should not have to live in poverty. Then I counter with another reasonable argument: that a higher minimum wage will force businesses to employ fewer people for less time. Now we can understand each other’s positions and recognize our shared values, since we both care about needy workers.
有一种更好的方式来赢得争论。设想你赞成提高我们州的最低工资,而我不赞成。如果你大喊“赞成”,我大喊“反对”,我们谁都学不到任何东西。我们既不理解也不尊重对方,也没有妥协或合作的基础。相反,假设你给出一个合理的论证:全职工人不应该生活在贫困之中。然后我用另一个合理的论证来反驳:更高的最低工资会迫使企业雇用更少的人、缩短雇用时间。这样我们就能理解彼此的立场,并认识到我们共同的价值观,因为我们都关心贫困的工人。
But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all — and the subtle devaluing of anything less — misses an important point: That’s not the only thing the American economy needs.
但是,一味推动人人都获得学士学位——以及对低于这一学历的一切的隐性贬低——忽略了重要的一点:这并不是美国经济唯一需要的东西。

Soon after his father’s release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices.

It's no surprise that Jennifer Senior's insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I Love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience.
珍妮弗·西尼尔那篇富有洞见、发人深省的杂志封面文章《我爱我的孩子,我恨我的生活》正引发热议,这并不奇怪——没有什么比暗示养育孩子并非一种完全令人满足、丰富人生的经历更能引起人们议论的了。
