Welcome to my class! Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much. ——Francis BaconAll truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them． —Galileo Galilei 多问，多学，多得。 ——弗朗西斯·培根所有的真理一旦被发现，都很容易理解。最难的是发现真理。 ——伽利略·伽利莱 It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding. To start with,we need questions. Then, to find answers, we observe the world around us and study the facts. After that, we consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. 今天，如何获取知识、认识世界，人人皆知。首先，我们需要问题。然后，为了寻找答案，我们观察周围的世界并研究相关事实。之后，我们思考可能的答案并逐个验证，以找到正确答案。 Although today we are more used to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to give us an answer, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the worlds problem with this type of analysis— luckily for us． 尽管我们现在更习惯于在搜索引擎中敲几个关键词，等待互联网为我们提供答案，但当代科学家、思想家仍采用这种分析方式来解决问题——我们应该为此感到庆幸。 However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon (1561-1626) suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge，he was going against the views of the day. 然而，在17世纪，当弗朗西斯·培根(1561—1626)提出这种思考方式是获取知识的途径时，他的观点却与当时的观念背道而驰。 Although Bacon held an important rank in King James royal court of England, his true interest was not the day-to-day, slow and inefficient working style of the government, but the worthy search for knowledge. 尽管培根在英国国王詹姆斯的皇家宫廷中位高权重，但他真正感兴趣的不是政府日复一日、缓慢、低效的工作作风，而是对知识的有价值的探索。当然，探索知识并不是那个时代大多数人的兴趣所在。 This was certainly not the interest of most people in his days. At that time, people believed more in the church than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved the idea that “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence． 那时人们相信教会胜过相信事实，像伽利略·伽利莱(1564—1642)那样证明了“地球不是宇宙中心”的人物，往往会被教会惩罚，也没有人会为他们辩护。 The church and many people tended to ignore
