216. "Most important discoveries or creations are accidental: it is usually while seeking the answer to one question that we come across the answer to another."  
$ \9 Y! M  A' i   
最重要的发现或是创造都是偶然的：在我们为一个问题寻求答案的时候，通常通过这个答案获得另外的收获。  
   
6 n- X: K# I! l; r5 d3 s1.       Turning first to discoveries, I agree that discovery often occurs when we unexpectedly happen upon something in our quest for something else—such as an answer to unrelated question or a solution to an unrelated problem.
2.       Many important discoveries are anticipated and sought out purposefully.
3.       In marked contrast to discoveries, creations are by nature products of their creator’s purposeful designs.

1 Z! X9 w6 b. f0 @3 ~9 s  
人们总是在寻找相同点，即使是在非常不同的事物间也不例外，甚至有时候这样做是无用乃至有害的。实际上，我们应该具体问题具体分析；我们应该尽量避免比较的倾向。

, A. t+ W! ^" J# c! n1 P1.       I agree with the speaker insofar as insisting on find similarities between things can often result in unfair, and sometimes harmful, comparison.
# f) }6 W$ k1 u2.       We should be especially careful when looking for similarities between people.
* C, D& e7 d& I$ K3.       The speaker goes too far—by overlooking a fundamental, even philosophical, reason why we should always look for similarities between things.

人们总是错误地认为自己面临的问题要比前人来得更复杂和更具有挑战性。不断增加的知识和经验最终消除这种假象。

9 l  h! J9 m: Z/ a& t231. " ’Moderation in all things’ is ill-considered advice. Rather, one should say, ’Moderation in most things,’ since many areas of human concern require or at least profit from intense focus."

“做任何事都要适度”这句话是欠考虑的。更确切的说，我们应该“对大多数事情都要适度”，因为人类在很多领域中遇到的问题都需要全力以赴（解决），或者至少会从中获益。  
9 R; m* _; q- E: V  
1.       The virtues of moderation are undeniable. Moderation in all things affords us the time and energy to sample more of what life and world have to offer. In contrast, lack of moderation leads to a life out of balance.
/ ]- J' o" S+ }8 A& B2.       Having acknowledged the wisdom of the old adage, I nevertheless agree that under some circumstances, and for some people, abandoning moderation might be well justified.
