Method - Text / Ye Wuji

It occurs to me what " observation " truly means: not taking what you see for granted.  Indeed, observing in this manner doesn't always yield clear conclusions; it might lead to a myth (might be an enlightening one nonetheless). Astronomers also tell us that the most light-sensitive spot in the human eye is probably not the center of vision, but out on the periphery of sight. Thus, if we are to find a very dim star, we'd better see from the corner of the eye rather than staring straight into the night sky. Similarly, a place often depicted as marginal and trivial might turn out obscurely central if we pivot our perspective.

方法 - 文 / 叶无忌

我发现,“观察”的意思就是,不要把看到的东西是为理所应当。虽然这样的观察有时候并不会得到很清晰的结——相反,它可能会导向一个谜团(但可能是一个启发人心的谜团)。而且天文学家告诉我们,眼睛对光的敏感度可能不是在视线的中心,而是在视线之外,因此,如果我们要在夜晚寻找一颗非常暗的星星,最好的办法是从眼角看,而不是直勾勾的盯着夜空。那这样说来,一个经常被描绘成边缘末梢的地方,如果换个角度,它或许是一个鲜为人知的中心。
