Recruiting Station was a story that came as the result of many anxious awakenings during many nights.

《征兵站》是一个故事，是在许多夜晚，许多焦虑的觉醒的结果。

In a sense, there's a great truth to that, but, also I was a great reader.

从某种意义上说，这是一个伟大的真理，但我也是一个伟大的读者。

Well, first of all, going off with dianetics was based upon a thought of mine.

嗯，首先，和戴尼提约会是基于我的想法。

I figure that that has a ten year cycle. At the end of that ten years, I began to get worried that I would run into what is known as the writer's block, the feeling of not being able to do these things.

我想这有十年的周期。在那十年结束的时候，我开始担心自己会遇到所谓的作家障碍，那种做不到这些事情的感觉。

It's difficult for me to feel that a solid page without the breakups of paragraphs can be interesting. I break mine up perhaps sooner than I should in terms of the usage of the English language.

我很难感觉到一个没有段落分割的坚实的页面是有趣的。就英语的用法而言，我可能比我应该说的要早。

My theory was that what I had to do was make a study of human behavior.

我的理论是我要做的是研究人类的行为。

But, somewhere in there, I did have the thought that this really fits in with my thinking about what I wanted to do; with what has to be done by a writer in order to stay alive as a writer.

但是，在那里的某个地方，我确实有这样的想法：这真的符合我想做什么的想法；为了保持作家的生命，作家必须做些什么。

It came about as follows: over the years when I was involved in dianetics, I wrote the beginnings of many stories. I would get an idea, and then write the beginning, and then never touch it again.

它是这样产生的：多年来，当我参与戴尼提，我写了许多故事的开端。我会有一个想法，然后写下开头，然后再也不碰它了。

I first read science fiction in the old British Chum annual when I was about 12 years old.

我第一次读科幻小说是在我12岁左右的时候，在英国老朋友年刊上。

Chum was a British boy's weekly which, at the end of the year was bound into a single huge book; and the following Christmas parents bought it as Christmas presents for male children.

《密友》是一本英国男孩周刊，在年底被装订成一本大书；而接下来的圣诞家长则把它作为圣诞礼物送给男性孩子。

The encouragement I got from Campbell was a quick check and praise. Once the Space Beagle was launched on its mission, it seemed natural for it to breed additional thoughts.

坎贝尔给我的鼓励是快速检查和表扬。一旦太空小猎犬号发射升空执行任务，它自然会产生更多的想法。

In those days I was new to covers; merely felt pleased that a story of mine had been honored. I later met Rogers who did some of my early covers and I was impressed with him.

在那些日子里，我是个新手；只是为我的一个故事受到尊重而感到高兴。后来我遇到了罗杰斯，他做了我早期的一些封面，我对他印象深刻。
