Para.1
When I was younger, I thought science would make good things for everybody. It was obviously useful; it was good. But then during the war I worked on the atomic bomb. This result of science was obviously very serious ---it represented the destruction of people and it put our future at risk. I had to ask myself, “Is there some evil involved in science?”
当我年轻的时候,我认为科学会对每个人都有利。这显然是有用的;它很好。但在战争期间,我开始研究原子弹。这一科学成果明摆着有很大的危险性——它意味着人的毁灭,并使我们的未来岌岌可危。我不得不问自己,“科学里是不是有罪恶?”
