Sir Isaac Newton was an Englishphysicist（物理學(xué)家）， mathematician（數(shù)學(xué)家）， astronomer（天文學(xué)家）， naturalphilosopher（哲學(xué)家）， alchemist, and theologian（神學(xué)者）。 He is consideredby many scholars（學(xué)者） to be one of the most influential people inthe history of theworld.
艾薩克·牛頓爵士是英國物理學(xué)家，數(shù)學(xué)家，天文學(xué)家，自然哲學(xué)家，煉金術(shù)師以及神學(xué)家。他被眾多學(xué)者推崇為世界歷史上最有影響力的偉人之一。
His Philosophi? Naturalis PrincipiaMathematica （Latin for “Mathematical Principles of NaturalPhilosophy”； usually called the Principia）， which was published in1687, is probably the most important scientific book ever written!In this book, Newton described universal gravitation and the threelaws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physicaluniverse for the next threecenturies.
他的《自然哲學(xué)的數(shù)學(xué)原理》于1687年發(fā)行，這本書大概也是時(shí)至今日最為重要的科學(xué)類書籍。在這本書里，牛頓闡述了萬有引力和力學(xué)三大定律，接下來的三個(gè)世紀(jì)，這些理論在物理科學(xué)領(lǐng)域占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位。
Newton was responsible for building thefirst practical telescope（望遠(yuǎn)鏡） and developed a theory of colorbased on the observation that a prism decomposes white light intothe many colors that form the visible spectrum.
Newton also formulated an empirical law of cooling as well asstudied the speed of sound.
Newton was also very religious. He was an unorthodox Christian,and during his life he actually wrote more on Biblical hermeneuticsand religious studies than on science and mathematics, the subjectshe is primarily knownfor.
人們一致認(rèn)為牛頓還發(fā)明了實(shí)用望遠(yuǎn)鏡，并且根據(jù)實(shí)驗(yàn)研究發(fā)展了色彩理論，即通過三棱鏡將白光分解構(gòu)成可見光譜的顏色。而且，牛頓還將聲速的經(jīng)驗(yàn)定律公式化。除此之外，牛頓還是一位虔誠的異端基督教信徒。事實(shí)上在他的一生中，牛頓寫的圣經(jīng)注釋和宗教研究比他主要的科學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)理論多得多。
5 Amazing Lessons fromIsaac Newton 牛人牛頓的五則信條
1.Patiently Think耐心思考
“If I have done the public any service, itis due to my patient thought.”
We don't spend enough time patiently thinking! Albert Einsteinsaid, “It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay withproblems longer.” If you would just block out some time daily to“think,” you could solve many of your problems. …You could evensolve some of the world's problems.
“我之所以能夠?yàn)樯鐣龀鲐暙I(xiàn)，這都要?dú)w功于耐心的思考。”
我們總不愿拿出足夠的時(shí)間耐心思考問題。愛因斯坦也曾說過：“我并不是天才，只是我比普通人思考問題的時(shí)間更長?！比绻隳軌蛎刻斐槌鲆徊糠謺r(shí)間思考，你的很多問題都將得到解決，甚至可以解決一些全球性的問題。
2.Labor to beTactful機(jī)智處世
“Tact is the art of making a point withoutmaking an enemy.”
Solomon said, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh wordstirs up anger.” We can all polish up on our tact, our diplomacy,our discretion, our delicacy, and our gracefulness. Solomon went onto say, “Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spokenin right circumstances,” labor to be tactful in all youdo.
“機(jī)智是一門藝術(shù)，它不僅能使你表達(dá)自己的看法，還不會使你樹敵萬千?！彼_門說過：“回答柔和，使怒消退。言語暴戾，觸動(dòng)怒氣?！蓖ㄟ^機(jī)智圓滑的處世之道，不論是我們的交際手腕、判斷力還是行為舉止都將更加出色。同時(shí)所羅門還說過：“一句話說得合宜，就如金蘋果在銀網(wǎng)子里。”
3.Build Bridges構(gòu)建橋梁
“We build too many walls and not enoughbridges.”
Tony Robbins said, “The quality of your life is the quality ofyour relationships.” This is why you must spend your time buildingbridges instead of walls. When we “build bridges” we are literallybuilding a better life. When we build walls, we are stagnating ourown growth. Joseph F. Newton said, “People are lonely because theybuild walls instead ofbridges.”
“我們心中修葺了太多圍墻，卻鮮有溝通彼此的橋梁?！?br />
托尼·羅賓斯說過：“人際關(guān)系決定一個(gè)人的生活質(zhì)量?！边@就是為什么你要花費(fèi)時(shí)間來構(gòu)建通往他人心墻內(nèi)的橋梁。可以說當(dāng)你構(gòu)建了橋梁，你也就創(chuàng)造了更加美好的生活。而當(dāng)我們只顧著搭蓋圍墻時(shí)，我們自身的發(fā)展也就停滯不前了。約瑟夫說：“人們感到孤獨(dú)，是因?yàn)樗麄冊谌伺c人之間筑了墻，而不是搭了橋?！?br />
4.Chase afterKnowledge 追逐知識
“If I have seen further than others, it isby standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
There's no need to recreate the wheel. To make progress all youmust do is to build on what others have already done. Commence bylearning what others know.
When you chase after knowledge, you strategically positionyourself on the shoulders of giants; you are then able to see whatothers can't see.
“如果說我比別人看得更遠(yuǎn)，那是因?yàn)槲艺驹诰奕说募绨蛏??！?br />
沒必要自壘陣營，你只用在前人已有的基礎(chǔ)上不斷進(jìn)步就行。當(dāng)你汲取知識的時(shí)候，你可以從前人已知的開始入手，正如具有戰(zhàn)略性的站在巨人的肩膀上一般，這樣你能掌握他人不了解的知識。
5.Pursue Truth 追求真理
“A man may imagine things that are false,but he can only understand things that are true, for if the thingsbe false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.”
We must pursue “truth!” There's an anonymous quote that goes,“The truth is heavy, therefore few care to carry it.” Be one ofthose few who pursue truth both night and day. Blaise Pascal said,“Once your soul has been enlarged by truth, it can never return toits originalsize.”
“人類可能會猜測一些事情是錯(cuò)誤的，但他只能夠明白這些事是真實(shí)存在，卻不明白它錯(cuò)在哪，這便是人們對真理的不理解啊?！?br /> 我們必須追求真理。有這樣一句諺語“真理沉重，因此少有人承載它?！弊鲆粋€(gè)每天都在追逐真理的人，布萊士·帕斯卡（譯者注：法國數(shù)學(xué)家）說：“一旦你的靈魂被真理延伸，它絕不會再回到最初的形態(tài)?！?br />
