The death of scientific giant Albert Einstein in 1955 marked the end of an era. However, his body was not cremated as per his wishes, but instead sparked a controversy about the genius brain.
1955年，科學巨匠阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦的離世，标志着一個時代的結束。然而，他的遺體并未如其遺願所述進行火化，反而掀起了一場關于天才大腦的争議風波。
Pathologist Thomas Harvey, without full authorization, removed Einstein's brain and cut it into 240 pieces for study. Although this act triggered legal and ethical discussions at the time, it also opened a window for mankind to try to solve the mystery of wisdom.
病理學家托馬斯·哈維，在未獲得完全授權的情況下，取走了愛因斯坦的大腦，并切割成240塊進行研究。這一行為，盡管在當時引發了法律和倫理的讨論，卻也開啟了人類試圖解開智慧之謎的一扇窗。
Harvey's original intention seemed to stem from a pure pursuit of knowledge. He tried to find the reason for the scientific giant's superior intelligence by analyzing Einstein's brain. This research continued for fifty years. Harvey preserved brain slices in formalin solution and carried them with him, hoping that these slices would reveal the deep secrets of human intelligence.
哈維的初衷，似乎源于一種對知識的純粹追求，他試圖通過分析愛因斯坦的大腦，尋找這位科學巨人智力超群的原因。這一研究持續了五十年之久，哈維将大腦切片儲存在福爾馬林溶液中，随身攜帶，希望通過這些切片揭示人類智慧的深層次秘密。
In the public imagination, a brain with extraordinary intelligence like Einstein must hide unknown secrets. Dr. Harvey spent fifty years trying to uncover this secret. However, other than an increase in glial cells and an unusually wide frontal lobe, studies of Harvey's brain slices revealed no further abnormalities.
在大衆的想象中，一個如愛因斯坦般擁有超凡智慧的大腦，必定隐藏着不為人知的秘密。哈維博士耗費五十年的時間，就是試圖揭開這一秘密。然而，除了神經膠質細胞的增多和額葉的寬度超出常人外，哈維的大腦切片研究并未發現更多的異常。
After decades of careful observation and analysis, Einstein's brain showed characteristics that have puzzled scientists. Although his parietal lobe was 15% wider than average, it remains a mystery whether this is the only explanation for Einstein's superior intelligence or whether there are other unknown factors.
愛因斯坦的大腦，經過幾十年的細緻觀察和分析，顯示出的特征卻讓科學家們陷入困惑。盡管其頂葉寬度超出平均水準15%，但這是否就是愛因斯坦智慧超群的唯一解釋，或者還有其他未知的因素，仍然是一個謎。
Harvey's research results, published in the authoritative "Lancet" magazine, provide some insights into the structure of the brain, but the extent to which these findings affected Einstein's intelligence and creativity is still a mystery. Questions to be answered.
哈維的研究成果，發表在權威的《柳葉刀》雜志上，雖然提供了一些關于大腦結構的見解，但這些發現究竟在多大程度上影響了愛因斯坦的智力和創造力，仍然是一個有待解答的問題。
Before his death, Einstein hoped that his body could be cremated and his ashes scattered in an unknown place, so as to maintain the last trace of dignity in his life. However, Harvey's actions clearly went against the scientific giant's last wishes. Without the knowledge of Einstein's family, Harvey secretly removed the brain, cut it up and preserved it, an act that caused huge controversy at the time.
愛因斯坦生前希望自己的遺體能夠火化，并且他的骨灰撒在不為人知的地方，以此保持生命的最後一絲尊嚴。然而，哈維的行為顯然違背了這位科學巨人的遺願。在愛因斯坦的家人不知情的情況下，哈維偷偷地取走了大腦，并進行了切割和儲存，這種行為在當時引起了巨大的争議。
Harvey preserved brain slices in formalin and studied them for decades. He made a symbolic pilgrimage across America with these brain slices. This act is not only a commemoration of Einstein, but also reflects Harvey's persistent pursuit of science. Although Harvey's study of Einstein's brain continued for a long time, the secrets he discovered were not as revolutionary as people expected, but instead increased people's understanding of the complexity of the brain.
哈維将大腦切片儲存在福爾馬林溶液中，并進行了長達幾十年的研究。他帶着這些大腦切片橫穿美國，完成了一次象征性的朝聖之旅。這一行為，既是對愛因斯坦的一種紀念，也反映了哈維對科學的執着追求。盡管哈維對愛因斯坦大腦的研究持續了很長時間，但他所發現的秘密并不如人們期待的那樣具有革命性，反而增加了人們對大腦複雜性的認識。
After Einstein's brain was secretly dissected and preserved in a solution of formalin, Thomas Harvey began his decades-long study of this unique specimen. Harvey, the pathologist, made brain slices the core of his scientific research, hoping that these slices would reveal the deep secrets of human intelligence. He recorded the morphology of each brain in detail and permanently preserved this historic research with photos.
在愛因斯坦的大腦被秘密切割并儲存在福爾馬林溶液中後，托馬斯·哈維開始了他對這一獨特标本的長達幾十年的研究。哈維，這位病理學家，将大腦切片作為自己科學研究的核心，希望通過這些切片揭示人類智慧的深層次秘密。他詳細記錄了每一片大腦的形态，用照片永久儲存了這一曆史性的研究。

During the long research process, Harvey always insisted on his pursuit of science. He not only fulfilled Einstein's last wish during his lifetime - to cross the United States, but also regarded brain slicing as an important part of his scientific mission. Although Harvey's behavior caused a lot of controversy at the time, it also reflected the scientific community's strong interest in Einstein's brain and its unremitting exploration of knowledge.
在漫長的研究過程中，哈維始終堅持自己對科學的追求，他不僅完成了愛因斯坦生前的遺願——橫穿美國，還将大腦切片視為自己科學使命的重要部分。哈維的這一行為，雖然在當時引起了諸多争議，但也反映出科學界對于愛因斯坦大腦的濃厚興趣和對知識的不懈探索。
After decades of research, Harvey finally published his findings on slices of Einstein's brain in The Lancet. His article revealed some unique features of Einstein's brain, such as the parietal lobe being 15% wider than the average person. This discovery triggered a new round of discussion in the scientific community about the relationship between brain structure and intelligence.
經過幾十年的研究，哈維最終在《柳葉刀》雜志上發表了他對愛因斯坦大腦切片的研究成果。他的文章揭示了愛因斯坦大腦的一些獨特之處，如頂葉的寬度超出常人15%。這一發現引發了科學界對于大腦結構與智力之間關系的新一輪讨論。
However, these research results have not been unanimously recognized by the scientific community. Some scholars have questioned Harvey's research methods and conclusions, believing that his research lacks breadth and obxtivity. They believe that only through controlled research with a large number of samples can the accuracy and generalizability of research conclusions be ensured, and Harvey's study obviously did not achieve this.
然而，這些研究成果并沒有得到科學界的一緻認同。一些學者對哈維的研究方法和結論提出了質疑，認為其研究缺乏廣泛性和客觀性。他們認為，隻有通過大量樣本的對照研究，才能確定研究結論的準确性和普遍性，而哈維的研究顯然并未做到這一點。
In addition, researchers may have subjective biases when studying Einstein's brain, which affects the obxtivity of the study. Still, Harvey's findings provide valuable insights into the mysteries of human intelligence.
此外，研究人員在研究愛因斯坦大腦時，可能存在主觀偏見，影響了研究的客觀性。盡管如此，哈維的研究成果仍然為我們提供了關于人類智慧之謎的寶貴見解。
Harvey's protection and research on Einstein's brain spanned half a century. Following his death in 2007, the brain slices were eventually donated to the medical center so that scientists could continue their research. Although Einstein's brain did not bring the revolutionary discoveries expected to the scientific community, it is still regarded as a valuable resource, providing a unique perspective and reference for the study of human cognition and brain function.
哈維對愛因斯坦大腦的保護和研究，跨越了半個世紀的時光。随着他2007年的去世，這些大腦切片最終被捐贈給醫學中心，以便科學家們能夠繼續進行研究。盡管愛因斯坦的大腦并未給科學界帶來預期的革命性發現，它仍被視為一個寶貴的資源，為研究人類認知和大腦功能提供了獨特的視角和參考。
