生活对于任何一个男女都非易事，我们必要有坚韧不拔的精神；最要紧的，还是我们自己要有信心。我们必须相信，我们对一件事情是有天赋的才能，并且，无论付出任何代价，都要把这件事情完成。当事情结束的时候，你要能够问心无愧地说：“我已经尽我所能了。”

有一年的春天里，我因病被迫在家里休息数周，我注视着我的女儿们所养的蚕，结着茧子。这使我极感兴趣，望着这些蚕固执地、勤奋地工作着，我感到我和它们非常相似，象它们一样，我总是耐心地集中在一个目标。我之所以如此，或许是因为有某种力量在鞭策着我——正如蚕被鞭策着去结它的茧子一般。

在近五十年来，我致力于科学的研究，而研究基本上是对真理的探讨。我有许多美好快乐的回忆。少女时期我在巴黎大学，孤独地过着求学的岁月；在那整个时期中，我丈夫和我专心致志地，象在梦幻之中一般，艰辛地在简陋的书房里研究，后来我们就在那儿发现了镭。

我在生活中，永远是追求安静的工作和简单的家庭生活。为了实现这个理想，所以后来我要竭力保持宁静的环境，以免受人事的侵扰和盛名的喧染。

我深信在科学方面，我们是有对事而不是对人的兴趣。当皮埃尔•居里和我决定应否在我们的发现上取得经济上的利益时，我们都认为这是违反我们的纯粹研究观念。因而我们没有申请镭的专利，也就抛弃了一笔财富。我坚信我们是对的。诚然，人类需要寻求现实的人，他们在工作中，获得最大的报酬。但是，人类也需要梦想家——他们对于一件忘我的事业的进展，受了强烈的吸引，使他们没有闲暇，也无热诚去谋求物质上的利益。我的唯一奢望，是在一个自由国家中，以一个自由学者的身份从事研究工作，我从没有视这种权益为理所当然的，因为在二十四岁以前，我一直居住在被占领和蹂躏的波兰。我估量过法国自由的代价。

我并非生来就是一个性情温和的人。我很早就知道，许多象我一样敏感的人，甚至受了一言半语的呵责，便会过分懊恼，他们尽量隐藏自己的敏感。从我丈夫的温和沉静的性格中，我获益非浅。当他猝然长逝以后，我便学会了逆来顺受。我年纪渐老了，我愈会欣赏生活中的种种琐事，如栽花、植树、建筑，对诵诗和眺望星辰，也有一点兴趣。

我一直沉醉于世界的优美之中，我所热爱的科学，也不断增加它崭新的远景。

我认定科学本身就具有伟大的美。一位从事研究工作的科学家，不仅是一个技术人员，并且他是一个小孩，在大自然的景色中，好象迷醉于神话故事一般。这种魅力，就是使我终生能够在实验室里埋头工作的主要因素了。

My belief Mary. Curie for the life of every person is not easy, we must have an indomitable spirit. The most vital, or we must have confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we each have a natural thing, the talent, and, regardless of any price, this matter should be completed. When things over, you can honestly say : \'I have to do everything I can to the. \'In the spring of 2001, I am sick at home to rest for several weeks. I watch my daughter who has raised the silkworm cocoon is concluded. That makes me a sense of interest. Looking at the silkworm dedication and hard work, I feel that I and they are very similar. I like them and I always patiently to our own efforts focused on a goal. My reason for this is probably because some of the strength to goad me -- as was spur silkworm cocoons to a general. The past 50 years, I am committed to the scientific study which is to explore the truth. I have many fond memories of happiness. Girlhood at the University of Paris I, lived alone school years; Later devoted to science in the entire period, my husband and dedication, as in a dream general, sitting backward in the study but difficult to study and Later, we discovered there in the compact. I will never pursue a quiet and simple family life. To this goal, I strive to maintain a quiet environment, free from interference and personnel famous drag. I believe in science we have to the cause rather than the interest of wealth. When Pierre. Curie and I do not consider to be found on our economic interests, We agreed that we should not go against the concept of pure research. So we did not apply for the laser patents, it abandoned the sum of wealth. I firmly believe that we are right. Indeed, the world needs to stress the reality of people who work a lot of reward. But humanity also needs dreamers -- they cause by the strong attraction neither free nor passion to the pursuit of material interests.
