爱因斯坦,美籍德国犹太裔,理论物理学家,相对论的创立者,现代物理学奠基人。1921年获诺贝尔物理学奖,1999年被美国《时代周刊》评选为“世纪伟人”。
1、把你的手放在滚热的炉子上一分钟,感觉起来像一小时。坐在一个漂亮姑娘身边整整一小时,感觉起来像一分钟。这就是相对论。put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. that's relativity.
2、「没有宗教的科学是跛的,没有科学的宗教是瞎的。」
3、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。
4、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.
5、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.
6、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 eddington's famous 1919 gravitational lensing experiment, which confirmed relativity, had instead disproved it.
7、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.
8、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.
9、当知识的圆周扩大之时,黑暗的圆周也一样。
原文:as our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.
10、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.
11、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.
12、不要担心数学问题;我保证我的问题要大得多。
原文:do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics. i can assure you mine are still greater.
13、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.
14、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.
15、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.
16、万有引力并不是那些陷入爱河的人找人算帐时的目标。
