Interest and devotion
兴趣和奉献
At a recent talk with university students in Shanghai, Smithies, who is 87, said real interest and devotion to science are key to making important contributions. He emphasized the importance of personal interest and suggested science students find subjects that really interest them. "If your tutor doesn't like the project you like, change the tutor," he said.
在最近一次与上海的大学生交流后,87岁的史密斯说真正的兴趣和对科学的奉献精神是做出重要贡献的关键所在。他强调了个人兴趣的重要性,建议学科学的学生找到真正使他们感兴趣的事物。“如果你的老师不喜欢你喜欢的课题,那就更换导师,”他说。
Scientific research often involves creativity and inventions. Smithies said that when he couldn't find the kind of specific equipment he needed, he made his own - this was the case in the research that won the Nobel. He held up a pink container that he said was an infant's bathtub, which he had modified with wires and equipment from other lab apparatus. "Never make winning the Nobel Prize your goal," he said. "No Nobel Prize winners target the prize during their research. The only thing that all winners have in common are having fun and having confidence in their research."
科学研究往往需要创造和发明。史密斯说当他不能找到一种他需要的特定设备时,他就自创——这是在研究上获得诺贝尔奖的一则案例。他举起一个粉红色的容器,他说这是婴儿浴缸,就是他从其他实验室设备调整线路和设备得到的。“决不能让获得诺贝尔奖成为你的目标,”他说。“没有诺贝尔奖得主会在研究中紧盯着这一奖项。所有获奖者唯一的共同点是在他们的研究中获得兴趣和信心。”
