科学的发展、时代的进步,这是任何人也阻挡不了的社会必然,但它们在发展和进步的过程中,却往往要经历种种挫折和阻碍,美国历史上著名的司科普斯审判案,亦即著名的“猿猴审判案”就说明了这一点。但愿下边这篇由审判当事人司科普斯本人所写回忆文章的译文,能在带给我们愉悦的同时,也能给我们以某种教益:科学的传播和发展有时确属不易,我们应当倍加珍惜。 The development of science and the progress of the times are inevitable for any society to stop. However, in the process of development and progress, they often experience various setbacks and obstacles. The famous case in the history of the United States, the Coste case, has also been tried That is, the well-known “simian trial ” illustrates this point. I hope the following translation, which is written by the chief justice Judith Schopenhauer, recalls the article, which can bring us pleasure as well as some kind of lesson: the dissemination and development of science is not always easy and we should double it Cherish.
