From car motors, remote controls, and radio to X-Rays, lasers, and wireless communications Nikola Tesla is credited with inventing lots of things today we accept as normal. He was born July 10th and SexyMandarin wishes him a happy birthday for all of his contributions with this collection of quotes translated into Mandarin Chinese.
“There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science,
宗教的理想和科学的理想之间是没有冲突的，
zōng jiào de lǐ xiǎng hé kē xué de lǐ xiǎng zhī jiān shì méi yǒu chōng tū de ，
but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact.”
但是科学与神学教条相悖，因为科学以事实为基础。

对我来说，宇宙仅仅是一个伟大的机器，从来没有出生，永远不会结束。

“The same inexorable agents which prevent a mass from changing suddenly its velocity would likewise resist the force of the new knowledge until time gradually modifies human thought.”
就必然会遭到反对新事物带来的突然性大规模变化的力量，直到时间逐渐改变人类的思想。

“Technical invention is akin to architecture and the experts must in time come to the same conclusions I have reached long ago.

我的电源系统迟早要被完全采纳，就我而言，它已经很完善了。
