The other day I was talking about Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, as I do from time to time, because, for starters, he inspired me when I was a child much shorter than I am now, via his television programmes ‘Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World’ and ‘Arthur C. Clarke’s World of Strange Powers’.另外有一天，我谈论的主席先生阿瑟查尔斯克拉克，因为我不时的，因为，首先，他激励着我，当我还是小孩的短得多，比我现在，经他的电视节目'阿瑟克拉克' s神秘的世界'和'阿瑟克拉克'的世界无奇不列强。 I grew to also appreciate his scientific contributions, his writing contributions, his love of space, and for being a pioneer and explorer and inventor and futurist.我成长，也欣赏他的科学贡献，他的写作的贡献，他的爱的空间，并作为一个先锋和探险家和发明家和未来。 A friend just now told me that he died yesterday, so I’m talking about him now to say, thank you for being.一位朋友刚才跟我说他昨天去世，所以，我说他现在说，谢谢你。 You touched my life, as well as the lives of millions.你说出了我的生命，以及数百万人的生命。

Dear Reader, you know me and my “Curiouser and Curiouser …”, well this is something I like about Sir Arthur, who said, “Somewhere in me is a curiosity sensor.亲爱的读者，你知道我和我的" curiouser和curiouser … … " ，好，这是我想对主席先生亚瑟，他说： " 在某个地方，我是一个好奇的传感器。 I want to know what’s over the next hill.” 我想知道是什么在未来的山" 。
I relate! i涉及！ Sense the same sensor!意识相同的传感器！ I am curious, I want information, I want to experience, I want to know, and then I want to know more!我很好奇，我想资料，我想要体验的，我想知道，然后我想知道更多！ To explore the mystery!探索奥秘！ Present with this hill, and, with an (mind’s) eye on the next!目前，与这山，并在同一个（记的）着眼于未来！

His work is characterised by an optimistic view of science empowering humanity’s exploration of the solar system and this is the positive view I too share.他的工作特点是一个乐观的看法，科学赋予人类的探索太阳系的，这是正面的看法，我也分享。

He was Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible.他的调查可能的限度。 Clear-eyed and far-sighted.清晰的眼睛和有远见的。 He never lost his sense of Wonder.他从来没有失去意识，不知道。

A man who makes us dream.一个人，使我们的梦想。

This original thinker ached for better things and I understand this.这个原思想家疼痛，为更好的东西，我也明白这一点。

Interesting that I wrote here on the 19th with bananas in mind!有趣的是，我写在此间举行的第19次与香蕉铭记！ As this is one of my favorite Clarke quotes (outside of quotes from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’):由于这是一个我最喜爱的克拉克引号（外面的行情，从2001 ：太空奥德赛' ） ：

“Life is just one big banana. "人生就是一个大香蕉。 Science fiction allows us all to peel open the reality and discover the yellow truth inside.” 科幻小说，让我们大家都来剥开放的现实和发现黄真理内" 。

Clarke’s 3 laws: 克拉克的3条规律：

1. 1 。 “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. "当一位尊敬的长者，但科学家指出，一些是有可能的，他几乎可以肯定是正确的。 When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”当他说，东西是不可能的，他很可能是错误的" 。

2. 2 。 “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” "那就只有去发现可能的限度是合资一点的方式，过去他们把不可能的" 。

3. 3 。 “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” "任何足够先进的技术是无法区分的，从魔术" 。

And this quote, forgive me, makes me giggle!:这个报价，请原谅我，使我嘲笑！ ：

Of UFOs: “They tell us absolutely nothing about intelligence elsewhere in the universe, but they do prove how rare it is on Earth.”对不明飞行物的： "他们告诉我们，绝对没有什么关于情报宇宙其他地方，但他们做的是如何证明它难得的是，在地球上" 。

In December 2007, on his 90th birthday, Clarke recorded a video message to his friends and fans bidding them good-bye.在2007年12月，他90岁生日时，克拉克记录视频信息，他的朋友和歌迷竞投他们，再见。 I remember watching it and saying, good-bye for now and thank you.我还记得收看它，并说，再见，为现在和谢谢。 Fascinating how you can feel connected to someone you’ve never had contact with.迷人如何，你可以感觉到连接到某人，你从来没有接触过。
