Part car, part jet fighter, part spaceship, Bloodhound SSC aims to be
the first land vehicle to break the 1,000mph barrier. One of the key
challenges
has
been
to
design
the
wheels.
How
do
you
create
the
fastest wheels in history, make them stable and reliable at supersonic
speeds, and with limited resources?
部分汽车、部分喷气式飞机、部分宇宙飞船，猎犬 号超级汽车的
目标是做世界上第一辆时速突破
1000
英里的汽车。而这面临的
一项关键挑战是车轮的设计。
如果换做是你，
你会如何在有限的
资源下发明出超音速 汽车上用的轮子呢
?
After
much
deliberation,
and
devising
ideas
that
pushed
the
boundaries of material technology, Mark Chapman, chief engineer of
the Bloodhound project said the team decided to take a step back and
change the way they were trying to solve problems. “There
’
s very
little we
’
ve actually developed that
’
s new,” he says, “what
’
s unique
is how w
e apply technologies.”

猎犬号项目的总工程师马克·
查普曼思来想去，觉得材料还是不
够好。
最后他和他的团队决定退回一步、换个角度看有没有别的
办法。
“
我们实际创新的东西并不多
”
， 马克说：
“
我们的独特之
处在于应用技术的方式别具一格。
”

They
adopted
an
approach
called
the
design
of
experiments
–

a
mathematical
technique
of
problem
solving
through
doing
lots
of
little experiments and then looking at the statistics all glued together.
“All of a sudden, where we
’
d been knocking our head against the
wall for maybe two, three, four months, we came up with a wheel
design that would hold together and was strong enough,” h
e says.
他们采用实验设计的方法做了很多的小实验，
综合所得的数据再
得出精确设计。
“花了三四个月绞尽脑汁做尽各种实验之后，很
突然地我们做出了一个大胆的设计：把各种可用的(
飞机、飞船
所用的
)
技术都融合在一辆车上，从而使它足够强大。”
马克说。

Lesson two: Let evidence shape your opinion
观点要用证据来证明

Like
his
peers,
geophysicist
Steven
Jacobsen
from
Northwestern
University believed that water on Earth originated from comets. But
by
studying
rocks,
which
allow
scientists
to
peer
back
in
time,
he
discovered water hidden inside ringwoodite, which lies in the Earth
’
s mantle, and which suggests that the oceans gradually made its way
out of the planet
’
s interior many centuries ago.
美国西北大学地球物理学家史蒂文
·
雅各布森曾认为 ，地球上的
水源于彗星。
但通过对岩石的研究，
他发现地幔的林伍德石里面
也 藏有水，这一发现表明或许在
N
个世纪之前，海洋是从地球
内部自己慢慢溢出来的。< br>
“I had a pretty hard time convincing others,” he admits. Yet two key
pieces of evidence uncovered this year seem to support his point of
view. Time will tell whether the new theories are true, and there may
be
further
twists
to
the
tale.
“But
thinking
about
the
fact
that
you
may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn
’
t
happen very often,” he says. “When it do
es it
’
s thrilling.”

“
那时候我难说服别的学者相 信这个。
”
史蒂文说。但是今年新发
现的两个关键证据似乎支持了他的理论。
所以，
一个新理论的正
确与否可能需要时间来慢慢印证，
在被世人接受前可能会经历很
多曲折。
“
但是如果你发现你是第一个发现这个规律的人，且时
间又证明你是 对的之后，你会倍受鼓舞的。
”
史蒂文说。

Lesson three: It really is 99% perspiration
天才的
99%
确实是汗水

Sheila
Nirenberg
at
Cornell
University
is
trying
to
develop
a
new
prosthetic device for treating blindness. Key to this was cracking the
code
that
transmits
information
from
the
eye
to
the
brain.
“Once
I
realised this, I couldn
’
t eat, I couldn
’
t sleep
–
all I wanted to do was
work,” says Nirenberg.

康奈尔大学希拉< br>·
尼伦伯格正在研究治疗失明的新型假体，其中
破解眼睛与大脑的信息交流密码是最关键 的。
“
我意识到这一点
之后，就吃不下饭、睡不着觉，只想全身心投入工作。
”
尼伦伯
格说。

“Sometimes I
’
m exhausted and I get burnt out,” she adds. “But then
I get an email from somebody in crisis or somebody who

s getting
