1. 长期以来,科学同艺术之间的双边关系一直是剃头担子一头热:科学热恋着艺术,艺术却拒科学于千里之外。
许多大科学家一生钟爱艺术,且懂艺术,从中汲取养料,善养浩然之气,或得到人生的极大安慰。相反,文学艺术家则绝少有热爱、理解自然科学和工程技术世界的。
我们的艺术家对自然科学家望而生畏,敬而远之,原因之一是里面有一大堆高深的数学公式。其实,撇开数学,绕过那一大堆深奥的东西,一门学科的基本思想还是可以被我们理解、欣赏的,这恰如我们虽然看不懂莫扎特乐曲的总谱,却照样能同它的主旋律发生共鸣,击节称赞。
The relationship that science keeps with art has long been from one-sided wish. That is, while science is in deep love with art, art requites this love by being arrogant and unapproachable.
Many renowned scientists love art all their lives. They know art, and are very good at getting fulfillment from art to enhance their noble spirit or to help relieve themselves from burdens of life. On the contrary, few of literary artists love and understand natural science and engineering technology.
Among the reasons why artists stand in awe before science or keep a respectful distance from science, one is science involves a huge stack of abstruse mathematical formulas. But if leaving aside mathematics and bypassing a stack of recondite knowledge, we are still able to understand and appreciate the basic principles of a science. It is just like we are still able to give a sympathetic response to its main melody, greatly admiring the music although we can read nothing of the score of Mozart's musical pieces.
