【穿越研英】冲击翻译，不得不恋(第四十期)
前日接到正在备战考研的好友的短信：你知道你的两只眼睛的关系吗它们一起眨一起动一起哭一起看一起睡~尽管他们从没有见过对方。友谊就应该像这样。生活中没有朋友是空洞的,这周是世界好友周如果你愿意把这条留言发给你所有的好朋友也包括我。有多少人会回发给你。
当大部分人都在关注你飞得高不高时,只有少部分人关心你飞得累不累-这就是友情,再忙也要照顾好自己,朋友虽不常联系却一直惦念,天凉记得多穿衣.
显然是一条被转发了无数次的寻常短信，可是还是深深地感动了我，是的，人们只关注我们是否取得了耀目的结果，可是那些真正想着我们惦记着我们的人，他们知道穿越一座山的艰辛，明白面对无法把握的未来时我们的迷茫和痛苦的抉择，洞穿我们征服又一座高山时开心中含有多少苦涩，他们……
上周在感动沪江的十大人物提名中，popo居然也被小雯和misslfx提名了，真让我感到有些意外，因为开学后在沪江上停留的时间大大地减少了，和沪江上的朋友也少了联系，本来答应yakumi33和朵朵帮忙做节目的，但也因为事务的繁忙而搁置了，心里一直过意不去，没想到……真像小雯说的，沪江的这些朋友们让我感到：原来在虚拟的世界中也有真情存在！谢谢你们，谢谢沪江！感谢各位一直的坚持和陪伴，让我在独自做节目时感到一股环绕的温暖！

Science, in practice, depends far less on the experiments it prepares than on the preparedness of the minds of the men who watch the experiments. Sir Isaac Newton supposedly discovered gravity through the fall of an apple. Apples had been falling in many places for centuries and thousands of people had seen them fall. But Newton for years had been curious about the cause of the orbital motion of the moon and planets. What kept them in place? Why didn't they fall out of the sky? （1）The fact that the apple fell down toward the earth and not up into the tree answered the question he had been asking himself about those larger fruits of the heavens, the moon and the planets.
How many men would have considered the possibility of an apple falling up into the tree？ Newton did because he was not trying to predict anything. He was just wondering. His mind was ready for the unpredictable. Unpredicability is part of the essential nature of research. If you don't have unpredictable things, you don't have research. Scientists tend to forget this when writing their cut and dried reports for the technical journals, but history is filled with examples of it.
（2）In talking to some scientists, particularly younger ones, you might gather the impression that they find the "scientific method" a substitute for imaginative thought. I've attended research conferences where a scientist has been asked what he thinks about the advisability of continuing a certain experiment. The scientist has frowned, looked at the graphs, and said "the data are still inconclusive." "We know that," the men from the budget office have said, "but what do you think? Is it worthwhile going on? What do you think we might expect?" The scientist has been shocked at having even been asked to speculate.
What this amounts to, of course, is that the scientist has become the victim of his own writings. He has put forward unquestioned claims so consistently that he not only believes them himself, but has convinced industrial and business management that they are true. （3）If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.
（4）It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.
（5）Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the "odd balls" among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who "work well with the team."
