The Certainty Of Chance

A lot of them took jobs in corporate research laboratories-they were willing to exchange the chance of getting rich for the certainty of a regular salary.

他们中的很多人选择了公司研究实验室的工作——他们乐意于用发大财的契机来交换领取固定工资的稳定生活。

When we let go of the present, which we have in our power, and look to the future, which depends on chance, we relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.

当我们让当下流逝——我们所能掌握的，去朝向未来——依靠机会的，我们是用一个确定的换取一个不确定的。

The new view was put forward, which is that Joseph Needham s difficult problem is explained by the union of certainty and chance.

因此提出以“物极必反”的必然性与偶然性的结合来解释“李·约瑟难题”，算是一种新的说法，是否合理，有待于继续研究、讨论。
