人的一生就是探寻自我的过程，而在这个过程中，每个人都会面临各种选择。 - 每日文摘

历史告诉我们，永远不要低估科学家的聪明才智，他们总能另辟蹊径，得到新的发现。过去，根本性的新发现带来了许多变化，包括理论、技术和概念等方面，而这些变化在新发现刚刚出现的时候甚至根本无法想象。我认为，对于我们所居住的宇宙中可以存在贝尔影响的发现，就是这样一个根本性的重要发现，是那种像雪球一样的变化。现在这个雪球还比较小，但是我猜它会变得越来越大，带来理论、技术和概念上的变化，关于这些变化，我们现在几乎都无法领悟。

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road, and when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. Now, I figured since I'd run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. No particular reason. I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well turn around, just keep on going. And when I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far... I might as well just turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know... I went.

那一天，不知什么原因，我决定出去跑一趟，所以我跑到路的尽头。当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑到城边；而当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑遍绿茵县；这时我想既然我跑了那么远，也许我可以跑遍亚拉巴马州。我就这么做了。我横越整个亚拉巴马，不知什么原因，我继续跑，我一直跑到大海；当我到达那里，我想既然我跑了那么远，也许不如掉头继续跑，然后当我跑到另一个大海；我想既然我跑了那么远，我也许不如掉头，继续跑下去。当我累了，我就睡觉；当我饿了，我就吃饭；当我想去…你知道…我就去。
