美国科学院院长布鲁斯·艾尔伯兹在记者采访他的时候,答应写些东西。他这样写道:“在我来华访问期间,多次有人让我解释,美国的科学为什么能取得如此辉煌的成就。答案可能多种多样,但中国人容易忽视这样一个影响因素,那就是美国社会尊重冒险。美国人尊重那些渴望成功,努力挑战困难的人,即使他们输得蓬头垢面。尊重失败在商业领域里很重要,这样的事情层出不穷,新的企业开张了,三到十年后,企业又倒闭破产甚至彻底消失了。尊重失败对于科学而言同样重要。优秀的科学总是在探索重要 Bruce Albright, president of the American Academy of Sciences, promised to write something when a reporter interviewed him. He wrote: ”During my visit to China, many people asked me to explain why the sciences in the United States have achieved such brilliant achievements. The answer may be varied, but it is easy for the Chinese to ignore such an influencing factor as American society respects adventures, Americans respect those who aspire to success, and strive to challenge the difficulties, even if they lose unkempt.

Respect for failure is equally important to science. Excellent science is always important to explore
