  • Now I've been sort of banging on about this for the last couple of months,
  • 在过去的几个月里,我反复在讨论这个问题,
  • and people sometimes say to me, "Well Tim, it's kind of obvious. Obviously trial and error is very important.
  • 有时有人跟我说:“提姆,这不是很显然么,很显然试验和排除错误很重要,
  • Obviously experimentation is very important. Now why are you just wandering around saying this obvious thing?"
  • 很显然尝试很重要。你为什么到处讲这个显而易见的事情呢?”
  • So I say, okay, fine. You think it's obvious?
  • 所以我说,好啊,你认为这个很显然是吗?
  • I will admit it's obvious when schools start teaching children that there are some problems that don't have a correct answer.
  • 当学校开始告诉孩子们,有时问题不总是有正确答案的时候,我会承认这很显然。
  • Stop giving them lists of questions every single one of which has an answer.
  • 不再给他们一堆问题,而每个问题都对应一个答案,
  • And there's an authority figure in the corner behind the teacher's desk who knows all the answers.
  • 老师的桌子背后的角落里总是站着一个知道所有答案的权威。
  • And if you can't find the answers, you must be lazy or stupid.
  • 如果你找不到答案,你不是懒惰就是愚蠢。
  • When schools stop doing that all the time, I will admit that, yes, it's obvious that trial and error is a good thing.
  • 当学习停止这么做时,我愿意承认,试验和排除错误显然是好事。
  • When a politician stands up campaigning for elected office and says, "I want to fix our health system.
  • 当政客们站出来,竞选公职时,他们说:“我想整顿我们的医疗体系。
  • I want to fix our education system. I have no idea how to do it.
  • 我想整顿我们的教育体系。我还不知道怎么做。
  • I have half a dozen ideas. We're going to test them out.
  • 但是我有很多想法,我们会测试这些想法。
  • They'll probably all fail. Then we'll test some other ideas out.
  • 我们可能失败。然后我们会再测试其他想法。
  • We'll find some that work. We'll build on those. We'll get rid of the ones that don't."
  • 我们会发现有些有效的办法,然后在那个基础上继续建设。我们会抛弃那些无效的做法。
  • -- when a politician campaigns on that platform, and more importantly,
  • 当政治家在那样的平台上竞选,更重要的是,
  • when voters like you and me are willing to vote for that kind of politician,
  • 像你我这样的选举人,愿意投票给这样的政治家,
  • then I will admit that it is obvious that trial and error works, and that -- thank you.
  • 那我就承认,测试和排除错误显然是有效的,而那时,我会对你们说:谢谢。
