主题：【外刊0701】达芬奇的拖延（续）

就是把红色部分标注的帮翻译出来呀，整句哦。

请分析下句子结构吧，尤其是 into something positive and maybe even essential for the productivity we valueabove all things.

We can even make procrastination —— like imagination —— into something positive and maybe even essential for the productivity we valueabove all things.

哦，字体好大看着好费尽哈。我编辑一下：

One thing about this dalliance with the OED is reassuring: If words emerge and evolve over time, it is possible to get behind them. Since procrastination emerged from a specific historial context, it is not a universal and inescapble element of human experience. We can liberate ourselves from its gravitational pull of judgement, shame, and coercion. We can seize the term for ourselves and redefine it for our purposes. We can even make procrastination —— like imagination —— into something positive and maybe even essential for the productivity we value above all things.

对牛津英语大辞典的戏虐这件事，至少有一点值得肯定的是：文字的产生和演变经历了一个漫长的过程，因此，对某些字当时的意义无从考究，这是很有可能的。这种学术上的滞后主要受特定的历史时期和环境所局限，在人类的经验历史中，这种现象虽然不是普遍现象，但却是一种必然。但我们可以打破传统惯性思维的束缚，从愧疚感释放出来，不一定非要追本求源。根据我们的需要，可以赋予其字新的意义，根据使用目的，重新下定义。甚至可以使用我们的想象力，利用这种学习上的滞后不利条件创造有利条件，在现如今我们推崇和提倡生产力的时代，使其能够占有重要的一席之地。(仅供参考，理解上可能会有偏差，后面的我以后再翻）

If Leonardo seemed endlessly distracted by his notebooks and experiments —— instead of finishing the details of a painting he had already conceptualized —— it was because he understood the fleeting quality of imagination.If you do not get an insight down on paper, and possibly develop it while your excitement lasts, when you are squandering the rarest and most unpredictable of your human capabilities, the very moments when one seems touched by the hand of God.

若不是达芬奇不懈地根据其笔记和实验做出新的尝试，没有照原先构思好的画作按部就班直至大作完成---这可归因于他能够领悟灵感的稍纵即逝之特点。如果你未能使那份洞察力体现在纸张上，趁着那激动的瞬间还在延续，将它尽可能地创作发挥，反而这时却在消磨浪费这罕见的，令人称奇的人的潜力（可以说这一时刻人似乎确能感受到了上帝之手的触动）。
