03经典背诵
The Meaning of Discovery发现的意义
The word"discovery" literally means uncovering something that's hidden from view.But what really happens is a change in the viewer.The familiar offers comfort few can resist，and fewer still want to disturb.But as relatively recent inventions such as the telescope and microscope have taught us，the unknown has many layers.Every troth has geological strata，and you can't have orthodoxy without a heresy.
“发现”这一词，字面意思是指隐藏在背后的、还没被揭开的一些事物。但实际上是观者的一个变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉的事物提供的舒适，更少人想去干扰。然而 ，正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的，未知事物具有多种层次。每种地形都有地质层次，有正统即有异端。

Hanging over the Abyss悬在深渊
A man walking in the night slipped from a rock.Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet，because he knew that place was a very deep valley，he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock.In the night all he could see was a bottomless abyss.He shouted； his own shout reflected back - there was nobody to hear.
