There's a great phrase that Sherwood Rowland, who won the Nobel Prize for the chemistry that led to ozone depletion, when he was accepting his Nobel Prize, he asked this question: "What is the use of having developed a science well enough to make predictions if, in the end, all we're willing to do is stand around and wait for them to come true?"
有句名言， 是舍伍德•罗兰说的， 他是诺贝尔化学奖得主， 他的研究发现了臭氧耗竭。 他在领取他的诺贝尔奖时， 他问了这个问题： “科学发展得再好再能预测有什么用， 如果到头来我们愿意做的只是袖手旁观， 冷眼看着它们成真？”
