愛因斯坦經典語錄附帶原文

　　1、把你的手放在滾熱的爐子上一分鐘，感覺起來像一小時。坐在一個漂亮姑娘身邊整整一小時，感覺起來像一分鐘。這就是相對論。

　　Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

　　2、有一個現象的明顯程度已經讓我毛骨悚然，這便是我們的人性已經遠遠落後我們的科學技術了。

　　原文:It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

　　3、掰開人身上的偏見比掰開一個原子難的多。

　　原文:It is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom.

　　4、測量一個物體的質量就是測量其中的能量。

　　原文:The mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.

　　5、物理學家們說我是數學家，數學家們又把我歸為物理工作者。我是一個完全孤立的人，雖然所有人都認識我，卻沒有多少人真正了解我。

　　原文:The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.

　　6、那我只能對親愛的主表示遺憾。相對論是正確的。

　　原文:Then I would have felt sorry for the dear Lord. The theory is correct. - When asked by a student what he would have done if Sir Arthur Eddington's famous 1919 gravitational lensing experiment, which confirmed relativity, had instead disproved it.

　　7、一個聰明的笨蛋可以把事情做得更大，把事情做得更復雜，也更暴力。這個過程需要一點天才——很多的信念——只是朝著相反的方向。

　　原文:Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius— and a lot of courage— to move in the opposite direction.

　　8、一個人從未犯錯是因為他不曾嘗試新鮮事物。

　　原文:Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

　　9、當知識的圓周擴大之時，黑暗的圓周也一樣。

　　原文:As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.

　　10、在上帝面前我們都一樣聰明——也都一樣愚蠢。

　　原文:Before God we are all equally wise— and equally foolish.

　　11、常識就是人到十八歲為止所累積的各種偏見。

　　原文:Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

　　12、不要擔心數學問題;我保證我的問題要大得多。

　　原文:Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

　　13、教育就是當一個人把在學校所學全部忘光之後剩下的東西。

　　原文:Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.

　　14、公式對我更重要，因為政治是為了現在，而公式是永恒的。

　　原文:Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.

　　15、上帝并不在乎我們的數學困難。他以經驗來管理大局。

　　原文:God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
