英语翻译
It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out,and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict.If the things to be found are actually new,they are by definition unknown in advance.You cannot make choice in this matter.You either have science or you don't,and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of infirmation,along with the neat and promptly useful bits.
The only solid piece of science truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature.Indeed,Ifegard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology.It is ,in its way,anilluminating piece of news.It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment(启蒙运动）to be told by any of us how little we know and how confusing seems the way ahead.It is sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of 20th century science to the human intellect.In earlier times,we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem,or simply made up stories to fill the gaps.Now that we have begun exploring in earnest,we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are,and how far from being answered.Because of this,we are despressed.It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant,the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance,the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots,but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.
But we are making a beginning,and there ought to be some satisfaction,There are pribably no questions we can think up that can'tbe answered,sooner or later,including even the matter of consciousness.To be sure,there may well be questionswe can't think up ,ever,and therefore,limitsto the reach of human intellevt,but that is another matter.Within our limits we should be able to work our way through to all our answers,if we keep at it long enough,and pay attention.

我们很难预测科学将会变成怎样,如果我们能对科学进行预测将那将是一件很好的事情.如果新事被发现,它们未知的定义是不能预测的.在这件事上你没得选择.你要不相信科学,要不不相信它.如果你相信它的话你就要不得不接受那些惊讶而且令人不安的,但同时又迅速带来对人们有用的否定.
我能肯定的仅有的一个科学真理就是我们对自然的无知.如果把这个当做是过去几百年生物学的主要发现之一,那的确是这样.就这来说,它的确是一个很激奋人心的新闻.它将使18世纪启蒙运动最明智的思想都感到惊奇,如果他们被告知我们中的任何一个人都对未来感到茫然无知.对无知的深度与广度的对抗代表了20世纪科学对人类最重要的贡献.在较早的时期,我们对各种东西的工作原理要么是不懂装懂,要么就忽略掉其中的难题,或者是编造一些故事来弥补其中的鸿沟.既然现在我们以诚挚的态度来探索,我们开始了解到所面临的问题的艰巨性,以其寻求答案道路的遥远.我们往往因此感到沮丧.如果你是完全无知的,那么无知看起来并不完全是坏事.最惨的是你知道一些细节,但却对真理无知.总的来说最差的情况和不错的情况就是,在黑暗的隧道里你看不见任何可以相信的曙光,甚至任何一条隧道你都不可以相信.
但是我们已经在起点上了,而这应该有一些让人满意之处.我们可能会想任何问题,即使是关于人的意识,迟早都会找到答案.说实话,可能有许多问题是我们想不到的,因此,人的智能是有限的,但这又是另外一回事了.如果我们坚持不懈,那么以我们有限的智能,我们也能找到所有的答案.
