Brick. Building things, throwing.

磚塊：用于建造物體；做投擲物用。

Blanket. Keeping warm, smothering fire, tying to tress and sleeping in (as a hammock), improvised stretcher.

毛毯：保暖，隔離空氣滅火；綁在樹上睡覺（類似于吊床）；做臨時(shí)擔(dān)架。

Where is Florence's imagination?

羅倫斯具有想象力？

He identified the most common and most functional uses for bricks and blankets and simply stopped.

他只不過是對(duì)磚塊和毛毯的普遍特征、功用進(jìn)行了分類。

The fact that Florence's IQ is higher than Poole's tells us nothing, since both students are above the threshold.

佛羅倫斯的思路看起來還比不上普爾那樣敏捷和富有創(chuàng)造力。

What matters is that Poole's mind can leap from violent imagery to sex to people jumping out of buildings without missing a beat,

普爾的思路能夠從暴力想象跳躍到性到人們從建筑物跳下來，其中沒有一環(huán)缺失，

and Florence's mind can't.

而佛羅倫斯做不到。

Now which of those two students do you think is better suited to do the kind of brilliant, imaginative work that wins Nobel Prizes?

現(xiàn)在，您覺得他們兩個(gè)誰更有才氣，誰更可能成就一番偉業(yè)，誰更可能獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)？

That's the second reason Noble Prize winners come from Holy Cross as well as Harvard,

這就是為什么那些諾貝爾獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)呒瓤梢詠碜允ナ执髮W(xué)，也可以來自哈佛大學(xué)的另一個(gè)原因，

because Harvard isn't selecting its students on the basis of how well they do on the "uses of a brick" test.

因?yàn)楣鸫髮W(xué)不會(huì)依據(jù)這種“磚的用途”的測(cè)試成績(jī)，來挑選自己需要的學(xué)生。

It's also the reason Michigan Law School couldn't find a difference between its affirmative action graduates and the rest of its alumni.

這也是為什么密歇根法學(xué)院接受贊助性行動(dòng)計(jì)劃的畢業(yè)生和其他學(xué)生沒有什么區(qū)別的另外一個(gè)原因。

Being a successful lawyer is about more than IQ.cept

同樣的道理，成為一個(gè)成功律師的因素，顯然不是智商就能解釋清楚的。

It involves having a kind of fertile mind that Poole had.

它需要普爾那樣豐富的想象力，

And just because Michigan's minority students have lower scores on convergence tests doesn't mean they don't have that other critical trait in abundance.

需要像比爾.喬伊那樣刻苦，需要像諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者那樣雄心勃勃——密歇根少數(shù)族裔學(xué)生在收斂性測(cè)試?yán)锩孑^低的分?jǐn)?shù)，并不意味著他們?cè)谄渌匾矫嬉彩怯孤禑o為。

This was Terman's error.

這便是特曼的錯(cuò)誤。

He fell in love with the fact that his Termites were at the absolute pinnacle of the intellectual scale

他過于執(zhí)拗地相信他的那些“特曼人”絕對(duì)處于智力金字塔的頂峰

-at the ninety-ninth percentile of the ninety-ninth percentile -without realizing how little that seemingly extraordinary fact meant.

他們是1％的佼佼者中挑選出來的1％，但特曼沒有意識(shí)到這些看起來非同尋常的數(shù)據(jù)，事實(shí)上并不能說明什么。

By the time the Termites reached adulthood, Terman's error was plain.

這些特曼人長(zhǎng)大成人之后，特曼的錯(cuò)誤變得更加明顯。

Some of his child geniuses had grown up to publish books and scholarly articles and thrive in business.

一些他眼中的少年天才長(zhǎng)大之后成為了書籍、學(xué)術(shù)文章出版人，有些人在商業(yè)上也取得了一定成功。

Several ran for public office, and there were two superior court justices,

有幾個(gè)人成為了政府官員，兩個(gè)人成為了高級(jí)法院的法官，

one municipal judge, two members of the California state legislature, and one prominence state official.

一個(gè)人成為地方法院法官，兩個(gè)人任職于加利福尼亞立法機(jī)關(guān)，有一個(gè)成為該州政績(jī)優(yōu)秀的政府官員。

But few were nationally known figures.

然而，他們當(dāng)中很少有全國(guó)知名的人物。

They tended to earn good incomes, but not that good.

看起來他們的收入頗豐——但也不是理想。
