8)We are not now, nor have we recently been suffering from a lack of information.Think how much more information we have than Copernicus had four centuries ago.And he didn’t do anything less Earth-shattering(pun intended)than completely change the way the universe was viewed.He didn’t do it by uncovering more information--he did it by looking differently at information everyone else already had looked at.Edward Jenner didn’t invent preventive medicine by accumulating information;he did it by reframing the question.无论是现在还是最近,我们都不缺信息。试想我们拥有的信息比四百年前的哥白尼多了多少。但他作出了足以震撼地球的(权作双关语)惊人之举,完全改变了人们对宇宙的看法。他作出此举不是靠发现更多的信息,而是靠用不同的眼光来看大家都看到过的信息。爱德华·詹纳不是靠积累信息发明预防药物,而是靠重新表述问题。
9)But it wasn’t a shed.it was a house,a decaying shanty surrounded by tall grass and junk.但这不是一个工具棚,这是一所房子,一个被高高的杂草和废弃物包围的正在朽烂的小棚屋。
10)But that smile!It cut through the gloom of the battered wooden floor,the torn couch and the cobwebbed windows.可她那微笑里充满了光芒!它穿透了由破烂的木地板、旧躺椅和结满蜘蛛网的窗户围起来的黑暗空间。
