Discovery 发现
Diane Ackerman/迪安.阿克曼
Theword discovery literallymeans, uncovering somethingthat shiddenfromview.But what really happens isachangein the viewer.Thefamiliaroffers comfort few can resist, and fewerstill wantto disturb. But asrelatively recent i nventions such as thetelescope and microscopehavetaught us, theunknown has many layers.Every truth has geologicalstrata, and youcanthave a northodoxy without a heresy.Themomentanewborn opensits eyes, discoverybegins.Ilearned this with alaugh one morning afterdeliveringa calf. Whenit liftedupits fluffyhead andlooked atme,its eyes held theabsolutebewilderment ofthenewly born. Amomentbefore it had theeven black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was fullof colour,movement and noise.
I veneverseenanything so shocked to bealiv e.
发现一词,字面上是指揭开某种视线以外的隐藏的事物。不过其实是观察者自身发生了变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适,愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更少。然而,正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的,求知事物具有多种层次。每个事实都有地质层次,没有异端也就无所谓正统。新生
儿睁开双眼的那一刻起,发现也就开始了。我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突然意识到这一点的,不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我,目光中透出这个新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前,它还呆在母体里某个黑暗而平静的地方,突然,它的世界变得五光十色,变得活泼而喧闹。我从未见过任何东西在获得生命时是如些的惊异。

If I Were A Boy Again假如我又回到了童年
If I were aboy again, I would practice perseverance more often,andnever giveup athingbecauseitwas or inconvenient. Ifwe want li ght, we must conquer darkness.Perseverancecan som etimes equalgeniusin its results. There are onlytwocreatures,syasaproverb,whocan surmount the pyramids the eagle and the snail.If I were a boyagain, I wouldschool myselfinto a habit of attention; I would letnothing comebetween me and thes ubject inhand.Iwould remember thatagood s kater never tries to skate in two directions at on ce.Thehabit of attention becomes part of ourlife, if we begain early enough.I often hear grown uppeople say I couldnotfix my attention onthe sermon or book, althoughI wishedtodoso ,and the reasonis, the habitwas not formed inyouth. If I were to live my lifeoveragain, Iwouldpay more atten tion to thecultivationof the memory.I would streng thenthat faculty byeverypossible means, and onevery possibleoccasion.It takesalittle hard workat first to rememberthings accurately;but memory soon helpsitself, and gives verylittletrouble.It only needsearlycultivation to become apower.
假如我又回到了童年,我做事要更有毅力,决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干,我们要光明,就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说:能登上金字塔的生物,只有两种鹰和蜗牛。假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成专心致志的习惯;有事在手,就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记:优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯,它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说: 虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书,但往往做不到。而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。假如我现在能重新开始我的生命,我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法,并且在一切可能的场合,增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西,在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力;但要不了多久,记忆力本身就会起作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事,只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种才能。
