我非常荣幸能够获得 1994 年生化学会莫顿讲座奖。被同行评选为这一级别的奖项确实是对一个人一生工作的终极奖励，考虑到 RA Morton 教授本人和之前的获奖者所取得的高水平成就更是如此。这个奖项让我特别高兴，因为我回想起第一位获奖者是已故的 Laurens van Deenen 教授，我作为同事和朋友认识并钦佩他。我很高兴有机会介绍和讨论我在过去五十年中所做的一些研究。有一个关于艾萨克·牛顿的故事，有人问他如何看待自己一生的工作。他回答说，对自己来说，他似乎只是一个在海边玩耍的男孩，时不时地捡起更明亮的贝壳或更漂亮的鹅卵石，而周围却是未被发现的真理的海洋。我用这个故事来表明，我所研究的许多问题以及由此产生的发现往往源于偶然性或偶然性，而不是源于深思熟虑的计划。因此，我可以很容易地认同牛顿在海滩上玩耍的男孩，而且我现在可以告诉你，我度过了一生的乐趣和冒险
It is a very great honour to have been awarded the Biochemical Society’s Morton Lectureship for 1994. To be chosen by one’s peers for an award of this stature is indeed the ultimate reward for one’s life’s work, even more so when one considers the high level of achievement reached by Professor RA Morton himself and by the previous awardees. This award is particularly gratifying to me in recalling that the first awardee was the late Professor Laurens van Deenen, whom I knew and admired as a colleague and friend.I’m pleased to have the opportunity of presenting and discussing some of the research I have been doing over the past fifty years. There is a story about Isaac Newton, who was asked how he viewed his life’s work. He replied that to himself he seemed to have been only a boy playing on the seashore and now and then picking up a brighter shell or a prettier pebble, while all around lay the great ocean of truth undiscovered. I use this story to indicate that many of the problems that I have worked on and the resulting findings have more often arisen from serendipity or fortuity rather than from deliberate planning. Thus I can easily identify with Newton’s boy playing on the beach-and I can tell you now that I’ve had a lifetime of fun and adventure
