2019年最激励人心的20句英语名言
科学大师钱学森有两句有名的英语名言:
1. Knowledge was boundless 学无止境
2. Nothing is final (没有什么认识是最后的)永无止境
钱在交通大学读书时的一次考试,教他们的金老师每次总要给一个难题(a very tough problem),目的是让学生警惕自满情绪(not to be self-satisfactory)。他做对了全部六道题(第六题是难题),金老师把他的试卷展示给全班同学,说要给满分,100分;他却要求老师扣分,因为在一个连等式中漏了个下标。最后金老师给了他96分。他的宗旨是:学无止境—— Knowledge was boundless。
这句名言和他后来的“ Nothing is final !!! ”是一脉相承的:
钱学森在美国取得博士学位以后,被导师卡门留下当助手。卡门正在研究解决金属薄壳结构的飞机,但是薄壳结构在外压下容易垮瘪失效,当时没有好的理论来预测导致失效的临界压力值。于是,卡门让钱研究这个问题。钱努力工作,反复推敲,前后写了五份演算文稿。他一而再,再而三地否定自己,每次都是推倒重来,直到第五次,才感到满意。文稿总共800多页,但是发表的文章却只有10页。当他把第五次的文稿装入文档袋后,在封面上写上“Final”(最后的定稿);但是他又很快地意识到不妥,又在旁边添加了“Nothing is final !!!”(没有什么认识是最后的),其中富含哲理,说明真理的相对性,科学家追求真理是永无止境的。
