美国人非常聪明。他们将火箭送入太空和发明的机器，这些机器可能比任何活着的人都更快地思考，但是所有这些聪明也可能使它们失明。他们不了解别人。他们认为每个人都以与美国人相同的方式看待事物，但他们错了。科学只是事实的一部分。还有许多其他事情使世界成为现实，尽管在他们的鼻子下，美国人一直没有注意到这些事情，尽管它们一直在那里。
(The Americans were very clever; they sent rockets into space and invented machines which could think more quickly than any human being alive, but all this cleverness could also make them blind. They did not understand other people. They thought that everyone looked at things in the same way as Americans did, but they were wrong. Science was only part of the truth. There were also many other things that made the world what it was, and the Americans often failed to notice these things, although they were there all the time, under their noses.)
