令人敬畏的

Above all this scenery of perfect human life, rose dome and bell-tower, burning with white alabaster and gold: beyond dome and bell-tower the slopes of mighty hills, hoary with olive; far in the north, above a purple sea of peaks of solemn Apennine(5), the clear, sharp- cloven Carrara mountains(6) sent up their steadfast flames of marble summit into amber sky; the great sea itself, scorching with expanse of light, stretching from their feet to the Gorgonian isles(7); and over all these, ever present, near or far--seen through the leaves of vine, or imaged with all its march of clouds in the Arno's stream,(8) or set with its depth of blue close against the golden hair and burning cheek of lady and knight,-- that untroubled and sacred sky, which was to all men, in those days of innocent faith, indeed the unquestioned abode of spirits, as the earth was of men; and which opened straight through its gates of cloud and veils of dew into the awfulness of the eternal world; a heaven in which every cloud that passed was literally the chariot of an angel and every ray of its Evening and Morning streamed from the throne of God.

在这一片人世间完美无缺的景色之上，高耸着发出白雪花石膏和黄金的辉煌光芒的圆拱屋顶和钟楼，在拱顶和钟楼的后面是雄伟的山脉，山上长满了灰色的油橄榄树，遥远的北方，在威严的亚平宁山脉紫色的群峰之上，轮廓分明的卡拉拉山把永恒不变的火焰似的大理石山顶插入琥珀色的天空，光芒夺目的浩瀚大海从山脚下一直延伸到戈尔高尼群岛，而在这一切之上，无论是透过葡萄叶丛所见到的，还是阿尔诺河上伴着飘忽的云影所反映出来的，还是同贵妇人和骑士的金色头发和红润面颊相映衬的，是一片蔚蓝的天空，无远弗届，无时不在，宁静而庄严。在那信仰单纯的年月里，对所有的人来说，那苍天无容置疑地是神仙的住所，就象地球是人的住所一样。穿过云端的大门，透过露珠的纱幕，一直通向令人敬畏的永恒世界--那就是天国，在那儿朵朵飘过的云彩实际上都是天使的战车，晨曦和晚霞的每缕光芒都来自上帝的宝座。

In each of these passages, as well as others, Galileo reveals insights not only into the subtle workings of nature, but also into the mind and heart of the man behind the science: the careful craftsman (the builder of the finest telescopes in the world), the meticulous theorist (cautious about over-generalizing or speculating on more fundamental causes), the formidable observer and experimentalist (with a brilliant nose for the most urgent problems that can be solved with the new instruments and with impeccable interpretations of the importance of his major findings), the wonderful storyteller (with one voice tuned to persuade the reader of his point of view and with another voice trying to anticipate possible philosophical or religious objections), as well as the political opportunist (all too willing, as was the practice then, to bow and scrape before powerful personages who might advance his personal fortunes).

在这样的每一章节，以及书中其他部分，伽利略显示出的洞见，不仅是自然世界的微妙运作，也透露了科学背后的人类心灵：细心的工匠（世界上最精细的望远镜的制造者）、一丝不茍的理论家（对综合概括或思索更基本的原因，非常小心）、令人敬畏的观测者与实验家（对於可以采用新仪器来解决的急切问题具有灵敏的嗅觉，并对重大发现的重要性提出周到的诠释）、非常会说故事的人（以一种声调来说服读者相信他的观点，并且以另一说法试图预先回答哲学与宗教上可能遭遇的反对见解），以及政治投机份子（如那时的常例，所有人都十分愿意向可能促进自身利益的权贵卑躬屈膝）。

The elegance and apparent usefulness of the new theory led to a string of Nobel prizes for its creators, and many of the theory's adepts also received more mundane rewards: Armed with their new models and formidable math skills — the more arcane uses of CAPM require physicist-level computations — mild-mannered business-school professors could and did become Wall Street rocket scientists, earning Wall Street paychecks.

这个新理论的优雅性和表面上的有用性，给它的创造者带来了一系列诺贝尔奖，而该理论的许多行家里手们，也获得了更为世俗化的回报：一些温文尔雅的商学院教授以簇新的模型和令人敬畏的数学技能来做武装——因为 CAPM 较深奥的应用要求物理学家水平的计算——可能而且的确摇身一变成了华尔街的火箭科学家，拿起华尔街水平的薪水。
