折腾了一整天,最后给出我的翻译:
原文:
Development of Western science is based on two great achievements: the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (during the Renaissance). In my opinion one has not to be astonished that the Chinese sages have not made those steps. The astonishing thing is that those discoveries were made at all.
翻译:
西方科学的发展是以两项伟大成就为基础的:古希腊哲学家发明的形式逻辑体系(在欧几里德几何学)和(文艺复兴时期)发现通过系统性实验有可能找到因果关系。在我看来,中国古代哲人们没有做到这两步(形式逻辑和系统实验)丝毫不足为奇。倒是(西方人)发现了现代科学才是令人惊奇的事情。
