Carol Vorderman_How to Be an Engineer

Do you like to explore how the things around you work? Do you want to create a new material? If so, you should be an engineer! Engineers use math and science to help people by creating solutions to problems.
你喜欢探索你周围的事物是如何工作的吗？是否要创建新材质？如果是这样，你应该成为一名工程师！工程师利用数学和科学来帮助人们解决问题。
If you want to be an engineer, it is important for you to learn how to solve problems and conduct experiments. Engineers and scientists both use experiments to test ideas.
如果你想成为一名工程师，学习如何解决问题和进行实验是很重要的。工程师和科学家都用实验来检验想法。
While scientists study how nature works, engineers create new things, like video games, better ways to grow food, and nanotechnology— technology so tiny you can see it using only special tools.
当科学家们研究自然如何运作时，工程师们创造了新的东西，比如电子游戏、更好的食物种植方法，以及纳米技术——这种技术非常微小，你只需使用特殊的工具就能看到它。
The first step in the engineering design process is to ask, What is the problem that needs solving? Then, engineers use their imaginations to come up with a plan based on things that they know or have found out by investigation. They then take their plan and create a design to solve the problem.
工程设计过程的第一步是问，需要解决的问题是什么？然后，工程师利用他们的想象力，根据他们所知道或通过调查发现的事情，提出一个计划。然后，他们采取自己的计划，并创建一个设计来解决问题。
The last step in the process is to do experiments to test the design, to improve it or make it better. This book was written by our team of engineers to help you discover new ideas and learn more about the world around you. Come on, future engineers—let’s get started!
这个过程的最后一步是做实验来测试这个设计，改进它或者使它更好。这本书是由我们的工程师团队写的，帮助你发现新的想法，了解更多关于你周围的世界。来吧，未来的工程师们，我们开始吧！

Thinking like an engineer Equipment can be useful, but being an engineer isn’t always about having the right tools—it’s about the way you think. This list of tips will help you think like an engineer.
像工程师一样思考设备是有用的，但作为一名工程师并不总是拥有正确的工具，而是你思考的方式。这张小贴士清单将帮助你像工程师一样思考。

Engineers always ask questions. Be curious, and find out as much information as you can before you start a project. Engineers think about how things will look.
工程师总是问问题。在你开始一个项目之前，保持好奇心，尽可能多地了解信息。工程师会考虑事情的发展。
Use your imagination to visualize exactly what you want to create. Engineers are precise.
用你的想象力想象你想要创造的东西。工程师很精确。
Always double-check that you are using the right tools and the correct measurements. Engineers are confident. You will succeed if you believe in yourself and your ideas.
务必仔细检查是否使用了正确的工具和正确的测量值。工程师们很有信心。如果你相信自己和自己的想法，你就会成功。
Engineers regularly work in teams. You may prefer to work alone, but teamwork often produces some of the best results. Engineers are problem solvers.
工程师经常组队工作。你可能更喜欢独自工作，但团队合作往往会产生一些最好的结果。工程师是问题解决者。
Never give up. There is always a solution to the problem. Engineers never stop. If you think an experiment or invention can be improved, go back to it, and see if you can make it better.
永不放弃。问题总是有解决办法的。工程师们从不停下来。如果你认为一项实验或发明可以改进，那就回到过去，看看你能不能把它做得更好。
