首先，我们要理解原句中 restLESS 的语义色彩在英语文化语境中的常见含义。
选项1：褒义。说明此处的‘restless mind’带有积极的、促发创造与探索的新鲜感，强调好奇心、不断追问和改进的精神。这在描述发明家时常被理解为推动创新的优点，因此翻译成褒义更符合语境。
选项2：贬义。若将 restless 解释为负面的、易焦躁、难以安定的特质，则会与“发明家应具备的专注、耐心和系统性工作态度”相冲突，通常不符合对发明者群体通常赋予的积极评价。此种解读在日常英语描述发明家时并非主流。
进一步分析：中文里对 restLESS mind 的翻译往往要区分语境的正向激励与潜在的负面焦虑。在描述创造性个体时，‘restless’更常被解读为驱动创造的动能，而非消极的情绪状态，因此更接近褒义的表达。
综合来看，若没有额外上下文指向消极含义，选择“褒义”作为翻译更贴近常见的语言习惯与语义指向。
