……没受过科学训练的人。写科普作品的应该得是科学家。有好几位科学家写出过既不晦涩也不注水降智的伟作——比如施坦豪斯（Steinhaus）的《数学万花镜》（Mathematical Snapshots）、爱因斯坦和英费尔德的《物理学的进化》（The Evolution of Physics）、薛定谔的《生命是什么》（What is life?），甚至还有像法拉第的《一根蜡烛的化学史》（Chemical history of a candle）这样引人入胜的佳作。随着现代科学竞争的极度白热化……
…untrained in science. It should be scientists who write popular works. There are several scientists who have written great works which are neither difficult, nor dumbed down - for example, Steinhaus' "Mathematical Snapshots", Einstein and Infeld's "The Evolution of Physics", Schrodinger's "What is life?" and even delightful works such as Faraday's "Chemical history of a candle". With the hypercompetitiveness of modern scientific…
