“一条准则或由之而生的”是一个可能,而不是一个必然,否则可能不是God才能如此,无数Programmed的Robot同样也能如此,而且它们所能达到的程度是人类所望尘莫及的……我想,后者对人类来说不是一个恰当的选择,当然,God和Robot之间或之外也不是虚无,因此并不能因为其中的一个来反对整体,我也没有这么想过。
否定“God”的,“God”也不会像有些人想象的那样放弃他们,他们用他们的探索在自己心中发展出自己内在的“God”来取代那外在的“God”,其中的一些“Programmed”出了“Robot”,以此……他们仍然是“God”的选民……这同样是一个可能。
不要误解啊,因为我在写完这句话后发觉这句话写得实在是太可能导致误解了……

卢梭的部分学习方法【原文翻译】
卢梭的部分学习方法【原文翻译】
Quoted from Jean…Jacques Rousseau (1712…1778)’s Confession Book Six'1736'
摘自让…雅克·卢梭的(1712-1778)《忏悔录》第六篇【1736】
原文直接引自英语学习大书虫研究室之译本,伊犁人民出版社(Yili People’s Press)2001年4月第1版,全书959页。
翻译根据原文翻译自作,所引原文包括翻译约占1页左右,不要以为看了下面这点东西就算了解了什么,就仅算占那本所引的书的比例也只有1/959而已。
P339
A man who; at the age of five…and…twenty; knows nohing and wishes to learn everything; is bound to make the best use of his time。 Not knowing at what point destiny or death might arrest my zeal; I desired; in any case to get an idea of everything; in order to discover the special bent of my natural abilities; and also to judge for myself what was worthy of cultivation。
如果一个人活到25岁尚且一无所知,并且希望了解全部,那么他就必须有效地利用自己的时间。不知道命运或死亡何时来抑制我的狂热,我渴望无论如何也要对其拥有一点概念,既是为了发现什么是我的天赋所热衷的,也是为了知道什么是值得我去发展的。
注:下面那段是我真正想引用的,今天(2008年3月18日星期二)看到,发现可以作为我之前关于“肯定”思想的素材,虽然只是极个别方面的素材,但是从中确实可以发现,在这个方面,早就已经有人在探索并且加以记录了。
P343
…I soon observed that all these authors nearly always contradicted each other; and I conceived the fanciful idea of reconciling them; which fatigued me greatly; and made me lose considerable time。 I muddled my head without making any progress。
不久以后,我发现所有这些作者几乎总是相互否定,我构思着,想要把他们的思想统一,好玄没把我给累死!而且浪费了我相当多的时间。我把自己的思想弄得一团糟,却没有得到什么发展。
At last; abandoning this plan; I adopted one that was infinitely better; to which I attribute all the progress which; in spite of my want of talent; I may h*e made; for it is certain that I never had much capacity for study。
我最后放弃了这个想法,采用了一种明显比这个好得多的方法。尽管我天资薄弱,却能够获得如此的发展,这难道不是因该完全归功于这个方法吗?这是毫无疑问的,因为我从来就没有拥有过与此匹配的学习能力。
As I read each author; I made a practice of adopting and following up all his ideas; without any admixture of my own or of those of anyone else; and without ever attempting to argue with him。
每当我读一个作者的著作时,就尝试完全接受并追寻这个作者的思想,既不掺和我自己的或者他人的见解,也不试图去和作者辩论。
I said to myself:’Let me begin by laying up a store of ideas; no matter whether they be true or false; provided only they are defininte; until my head is sufficiently equipped with them to be able to select and pare them。’
我这么想:“先在头脑里装一点思想,管它是正确的还是错误的,只要足够明确就可以,等到脑袋里面放得足够多勒,再对它们进行比较和选择不就行了吗?
I know that this method is not without it inconveniences; but it has answered my purpose of self instruction。
我知道这种方法是很麻烦的;但这符合我自学的目的。
After I had spent some years in thinking exactly as others thought; without; so to speak; reflecting; and almost without reasoning; I found myself in possession of a fund of learning suffcient to satisfy myself; and to enable me to think without the reasoning of another。
我花了几年的工夫完全地按照别人的思想思考,可以说没有反思并且几乎没有去论证,最后居然发现自己具有了独立思考的能力?使我不需要求教他人也能够自己学习了。
Then; when tr*elling and business matters deprived me of the opportunity of consulting books; I amused myself by going over and paring what I h*e read; by weighing everything in the scale of reason; and; somtinmes; by passing judgement upon my masters。
这样,在我在旅游或办事而不能看书的时候,就可以用回顾和对比我学过的东西作为消遣了,既可以用理性的天平去衡量,也可以去品评一下……
I did not find that my critical faculties had lost their vigour owing to my h*ing begun to exercise them late; and; when I published my own ideas; I h*e never been accused of being a servile disciple; or of swearing in verba magistri。
我没有发现由于晚些运用批判能力会导致这种能力丧失了它们因该具有的活力;并且,在我发表自己的见解的时候,也没人来说我是个过于顺从的门徒,或者只会附和权威的言论。
注:verba magistri是拉丁文,意思是“权威的话;教师的话”。

下面这段不一定有用,先翻出来再说,书上得翻译看得确实有点困惑,当然,我翻译的也不见得好到哪里去,只是自己看看而已。
From these studies I proceeded to elementary geometry; beyond which I never advanced; although I persistently attempted; in some degree; to overe my weakness of memory by dint of retracing my steps hundreds of times; and by incessantly going over the same ground。
此后,我接着学习基础几何学,这门学科,尽管我尝试过反复地学了N多遍,并且不断从头看起,在一定程度上试图以这种努力,来克服我记忆力低下的问题,但是没有获得进展。
I did not like Euclid; whose object is rather a chain of proofs than the connection of ideas。 I preferred Father Lamy’s Geometry; Which from that time bee one of my f*ourite works; and which I am still able to read with pleasure。
相比欧几里得得几何学,他的几何学只是一连串的证明,而概念间的联系甚少,我更喜欢神父拉密的几何学,这从此成了我喜爱的著作,直到现在我仍然能充满喜悦地阅读它。
Next e algebra; in which I still took Father Lamy for my guide。 When I was more advanced; I took Father Reynaud’s Science of Calulation; then his Analysis Demonstrated; Which I merely skimmed。
之后我学习代数学,也用神父拉密的著作作为入门指南。在我取得了一些进展之后,我阅读了神父雷诺的《计算学》和《直观解析》,后面那本,我只是略读了一点。
I h*e never got so far as to understand properly the application of algebra to geometry。
我始终没有真正地领会代数学在几何学上的应用。
I did not like this method of working without knowing that I was doing; and it appeared to me that solving a geometrical problem by means of equations was like playing a tune by simply turning the handle of a barrelorgan。
对于这种不知道在作些什么的运算方法我怎么会喜欢呢?对我来说,用方程式来解几何学问题就像演奏乐曲的效果似乎和仅仅通过摇动手摇风琴的把手发出的声音差不多!
The first time that I found by calculation; that the square of a binomial was posed of the square of each of its parts added to twice the product of those parts; in spite of the correctness of my multiplication; I would not believe it until I had drawn the figure。
我第一次通过数字运算得知二项式的平方是由二项式的每个项的平方之和再加上二项式的每个项的乘积的两倍组成的,却不敢置信,尽管确认了我所有的运算都是正确的,仍然如此,最后还是我用图形的方式描绘出这个结果以后,才相信的呢。
I had considerable liking for algebra; in so far as it dealt with abstract quantities; but; when it was applied to space and dimensions; I wanted to see the operation explained by lines; otherwise I was entirely unable to prehend it。
我相当喜欢涉及抽象量的代数,单一旦应用到空间和面积上,我想要看到图形方式对运算过程的解释,不然的话,我就完全不能够理解了。
After this e Latin。 I found this my most difficult task; and I h*e nerver made much progress in it。
在这以后,我学习拉丁文。这对我来说,可能是最困难的事情,在这方面我一直没有获得什么明显的进步。
At first I began with the Port…Royal method; but without result。 Its barbarous verses disgusted me; and my ear could never retain them。
我起初选用波尔-洛雅勒的拉丁文法,但是,没有什么收获。这些没有规范的诗句使我深恶痛绝,最后却只能造成一种一只耳朵进一只耳朵�
