thescientist

在網上搜尋一下 scientist 的定義。

如果 scientist = an expert in science 或 who practises any of the sciences　那當然是「非一般人物」；幸而， a person learned in science and especially natural science 或 a person who studies 已經算是 scientist 了。

那符合中學英文老師有一天說到 artist 及 scientist，他說我們理科生都是 scientist。可是，他身為文科生卻很遺憾，不能說是 artist。

所以，這個 blog 名沒有錯。
