Success in any scientific career requires an unusual equipment of capacity, industry, and energy.

任何科学事业的成功都需要不同寻常的能力、工业和能量。

Yet it is by no means unusual equipment; I believe large numbers of people have at least some talent as writers and storytellers, and that those talents can be strengthened and sharpened.

尽管它绝不是不寻常的资质；我相信许多人都至少具备一定的写作或者讲故事的天分，这种天分可以得到加强和磨练。
