以下是证实该句名言的确出自牛顿。(不做具体翻译)
(This quote has been attributed to Sir Isaac Newton since it appeared in a letter he wrote to fellow English scientist Robert Hooke that was dated 5 February in either 1675 or 1676. There is no arguing that this quote in indeed Newton's.)
If I say I can see much further than others, that's beacuse I stand on the giant's shoulder.
If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
这是原文,查实了的。
我们也可以翻译为,
If I have seen further than others,that's because I am standing on shoulers of the giants.
