爱因斯坦语录.doc

*一个人的价值，应该看他贡献什么，而不应当看他取得什么。* 没有宗教的科学是跛的，没有科学的宗教是瞎的。* 只要我还能有所选择，我就只想生活在这样的国家里，这个国家中所实行的是：公民、自由、宽容，以及在法律面前公民一律平等。公民自由意味着人们有用言语和文字表示其政治信念的自由；宽容意味着尊重别人的无论哪种可能有的信念。这些条件目前在德国都不存在。那些对国际谅解事业有特别重大贡献的人，在那里正受到迫害，其中就有一些是一流的艺术家。* 测量一个物体的质量就是测量其中的能量。原文:The mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.* 物理学家们说我是数学家，数学家们又把我归为物理工作者。我是一个完全孤立的人，虽然所有人都认识我，却没有多少人真正了解我。原文:The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.* 那我只能对亲爱的主表示遗憾。相对论是正确的。原文:Then I would have felt sorry for the dear Lord. The theory is correct. - When asked by a student what he would have done if Sir Arthur Eddingtons famous 1919 gravitational lensing experiment, which confirmed relativity, had instead disproved it.* 一个聪明的笨蛋可以把事情做得更大，把事情做得更复杂，也更暴力。这个过程需要一点天才——很多的信念——只是朝着相反的方向。原文:Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius— and a lot of courage— to move in the opposite direction.* 一个人从未犯错是因为他不曾尝试新鲜事物。原文:Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.* 当知识的圆周扩大之时，包裹它的黑暗的圆周也一样。原文:As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.* 在上帝面前我们都一样聪明——也都一样愚蠢。原文:Before God we are all equally wise— and equally foolish.* 常识就是人到十八岁为止所累积的各种偏见。原文:Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.* 不要担心你的数学水平会有问题；我向你保证我在数学上问题要大得多。原文: Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.* 教育就是当一个人把在学校所学全部忘光之後剩下的东西。原文:Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.* 公式对我更重要，因为政治是为了现在，而公式是永恒的。原文:Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.* 上帝并不在乎我们的数学困难。他以经验来管理大局。原文:God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
