Scientific Spirit 科学精神
Whether astronomers using telescopes to find solid proof of the steady state theory, or epidemiologists observing proteins, cells and virus with microscopes to develop vaccines, outstanding scientists conduct research into frontier science out of pure scientific spirit rather than achieving fame. Nevertheless, it’s not unusual for them to be household names.
In the early 19th century, many households came down with a severe disease called Cholera. Frustrated by multiple deaths, John Snow desired to destroy Cholera once and for all. Facing two contradictory theories, he subscribed to the latter and suspected that the pump water carrying germs was to blame for infection. Furthermore, he used statistics to link water pump polluted by raw waste to outbreak of Cholera. Thanks to his finding and intervention, the threat saw a substantial decrease and people’s thinking of epidemiology was transformed.
Another vivid example is Qian Xuesen. Besides being brilliant and gifted, he was patriotic. When the breaking out of Songhu Battle cast shadow on peace, he shifted his major from Mechanical Engineering to aviation, learning abstract concept and theoretical framework on making jet to defend homeland. After pursuing further study as a graduate assistant in America, he was put in charge of China’s aerospace and missile programme and got down to doing some concrete work. Under his leadership, China developed the initial Dongfeng missiles, to which the Shenzhou rockets can be traced back.
Rainbow usually appears after it pours. Their experiences proved that new findings were usually made in handling threat, faults and frustrations, and above all, we must have scientific spirit.
二、核对译文
不管是使用望远镜为稳恒态理论寻找坚实证据的天文学家,还是使用显微镜观察蛋白质,细胞和病毒以研发疫苗的流行病专家,杰出的科学家们在前沿科学领域进行研究都是出于纯粹的科学精神而不是为了出名。然而,他们却往往成为家喻户晓的名字。
在19世纪早期,很多家庭感染了一种叫做霍乱的严重疾病。为众多的逝者而沮丧,约翰·斯诺渴望彻底地消灭霍乱。面临两种相冲突的理论,他选择相信后者,并怀疑携带细菌的井水改为感染负责。此外,他利用统计数据把被未经处理的废弃物污染的水井和霍乱的爆发联系起来。多亏了他的发现和干预,这一威胁大幅减轻,人们关于流行病学的想法也被转变了。
另外一个生动的例子是钱学森。除了聪明和有天赋,他还爱国。当淞沪会战的爆发为和平蒙上阴影,他把专业从机械工程转为航空,学习关于制造喷气式飞机的抽象概念和理论框架以保卫祖国。在美国以助教的身份深造后,他被安排掌管中国的航空和导弹项目,开始着手做一些具体的工作。在他的领导下,中国开发出了最早的东风导弹,(如今的)神州火箭可以追溯到这种导弹。
大雨倾盆后,往往见彩虹。他们的经历证明了,新发现往往是在应对威胁,错误,挫折的过程中取得的,并且最重要的是,我们必须有科学精神。
