  • ……一株十厘米(四英寸)长的豆瓣菜幼苗发出的光,目前大概只有正常阅读所需光照强度的千分之一左右,但用来照亮约翰·弥尔顿《失乐园》某一页上的文字已经足够了。这玩意儿发出的光极其微弱,可别指望能像文章里期望的那样拿去给街道照明。

    …light generated by one ten centimetre (four inch) watercress seedling is currently about one-thousandth of the amount needed to properly read by, but it was enough to illuminate the words on a page of John Milton's Paradise Lost. this generates a tiny amount of light, don't expect to use it to illuminate the streets like they hope in the article.

  • ……最高等级的艺术需要非凡的灵感,而这种神授灵感并不是人人都能够得到的。史诗通常都会呼唤缪斯女神,以此作为对这种观念的回溯,名义上是为了表达作者的谦逊。约翰·弥尔顿的《失乐园》就这么干了(同时还把缪斯重新解构到了基督教的层级体系中),不过通篇看下来可一点都没觉得他哪里谦虚了。

    …highest forms of art require divine inspiration that isn't accessible to everyone. It's common for epic poetry to invoke muses as a callback to this assumption, nominally to show the author's humility. John Milton's Paradise Lost does this (and reframes the muse within a Christian hierarchy at the same time), although it doesn't come off as remotely humble.
