著名工程师和发明家的名言(2)
武夷山 译
Workflowmax网站于2020年4月提供了著名工程师和发明家的一些名言(博主:原文如此。其实有的语录的主人并非工程师,只是语录内容涉及工程或工程师),下面我翻译其中一些,与大家分享。这是第二部分。
1. “Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.”
- Scott Adams
普通人认为,若东西还没坏,就别修理它。工程师则认为,如果没坏,就说明它不具备足够多的功能。
2. “Engineering is not only study of 45 subjects but it is moral studies of intellectual life.”
- Prakhar Srivastav
工程学不仅涉及45门课程的学习,而且也是对知性人生的道德研究。
3. “First rule of engineering; beware prototypes. Along with, avoid anything made by an engineer who doesn't have all his own fingers.”
- Simon R. Green
工程第一规则:对原型要小心提防。与此同时,避开手脚笨拙的工程师所做的任何东西。
4. “The trick to having good ideas is not to sit around in glorious isolation and try to think big thoughts. The trick is to get more parts on the table.”
- Steven Johnson
获得好创意的诀窍不是不食人间烟火地傻坐着去天马行空地构想,而是弄一堆零件放在台子上。
5. “[John] Kobak explained, 'The way you learn anything is that something fails, and you figure out how not to have it fail again.”
- Robert S. Arrighi,《追求动力:美国国家航空航天局的1号和2号推进系统实验室》一书的作者
[约翰]柯达解释说,“学习任何东西有一妙招:有东西失效了,你就设法弄清如何使它不再失效”。
6. “Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It’s coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering as well as final assembly."
- James Dyson(1947- ),英国发明家
制造不单单是将零件装配在一起。它涉及:提出创意,对原理的测试,完善设计制造过程,及最后的装配。
7. “Projects we have completed demonstrate what we know - future projects decide what we will learn.”
- Dr. Mohsin Tiwana
我们完成了的项目表明我们了解了什么——而未来的项目决定着我们将学会什么。
8. “I don’t spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.”
- Elon Musk,埃隆.马斯克
我的时间不是用于空谈高端概念,而是用于解决工程制造问题。
9. “A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.”
- Freeman Dyson,弗里曼.戴森,出生于英国的著名美国物理学家
优秀的科学家表现在有原创想法。优秀的工程师则表现在,能采用尽可能少的想法做出可行的设计。在工程中没有突出的主角。
10. “There’s nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.”
- Bill Nye,美国机械工程师,著名电视科普专家
我所坚信的事物,莫过于使年轻人对科学和工程发生兴趣,为了更美好的明天,为了全人类。
11.“But remember this, Japanese boy... airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.”
- Hayao Miyazaki,宫崎骏,日本著名动画师
日本男孩,请记住......飞机不是战争工具。也不是挣钱的工具。飞机是美丽的梦。工程师使美梦成真。
