                           II Read and translate the text.

                              Whatever physical quantity he may be dealing with, a metrologist
                           must  reason  and  behave  in  a  way  “adapted”  to accurate  measuring.
                           Therefore, he must have many qualities.
                               Be inquisitive
                               First  and  foremost,  a  metrologist  has  to  be  curious,  and  his
                           curiosity must take many forms, and be about everything.
                               A metrologist must make inquiries:
                               – about the instruments he controls;
                               – about the proceedings;
                               – about the influential quantities.
