数学的本质不是把简单的事情复杂化，而是把复杂的事情简单化。 - 每日文摘

我只有你，你从来也没有认识过我，而我却始终爱着你。

斯蒂芬·茨威格

爱在左，情在右，走在生命路的两旁，随时撒种，随时开花，将这一径长途点缀得香花弥漫，使穿枝拂叶的行人，踏着荆棘，不觉痛苦；有泪可落，也不觉是悲哀。

海洋浩瀚，但我们的责任更大。

The ocean is vast, but our responsibility is even greater.

张荣发

我希望她和我一样胸中有血，心头有伤；不要什么花好月圆，不要什么笛短箫长；要穷，穷得像茶，苦中一缕清香；要傲，傲得像兰，高挂一脸秋霜。我希望她和我一样，就敢暗夜里徘徊在白色的坟场，去倾听鸱鸮的长鸣。去追逐飘逸的荧光。

生活就像在博物馆里走过场，要过一阵子你才开始吸收你的所见，思考它们，读书了解它们，记忆它们——因为你不能一下子全部消化。

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can’t take it in all at once.

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom， we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years， we'll not only synthesize it， but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne， Mark Twain， Galileo， Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization， we will have so many gifts， just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.

你们的聪明才智必定会派上用场，因为你们将在一片充满奇迹的土地上行进。我们人类，尽管跬步前行，却终将令自己大吃一惊。我们能够想方设法制造清洁能源，也能够一个原子一个原子地组装微型机械，使之穿过细胞壁，然后修复细胞。这个月，有一个异常而不可避免的事情发生了——人类终于合成了生命。在未来几年，我们不仅会合成生命，还会按说明书驱动它们。我相信你们甚至会看到我们理解人类的大脑，儒勒·凡尔纳，马克·吐温，伽利略，牛顿——所有那些充满好奇之心的人都希望能够活到现在。作为文明人，我们会拥有如此之多的天赋，就像是坐在我面前的你们，每一个生命个体都拥有许多独特的天赋。
