Unit 4:Seen through the eyes of a young friend Einstein was a simple, modest[谦虚的] and ordinary man.The professor and the Yo-yoMy father was a close friend of Albert Einstein. As a shy young visitor to Einstein's home, I was made to feel at ease【感到自在】when Einstein said, "I have something to show you." He went to his desk and returned with a Yo-Yo. He tried to show me how it worked but he couldn't make it roll back up the string【绳子】. When my turn came【轮到我的时候】, I displayed my few tricks【技巧】and pointed out【指出】to him that the incorrectly【错误地】looped string had thrown the toy off balance. Einstein nodded【点头】, properly【非常】impressed by my skill and knowledge. Later, I bought a new Yo-Yo and mailed it to the Professor as a Christmas present, and received a poem【诗】of thanks.As boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder【钦佩】at the personality【人格】that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe【宇宙】and the logic 【逻辑】and simplicity【简单】in its functioning【功能】. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach【所能到达的范围】. But this did not frustrate[使沮丧] him. He was content【满足的】to go as far ashe could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy【嫉妒】, vanity【虚荣】, bitterness【痛苦】, anger, resentment【愤恨】, or personal ambition【野心】. He seemed immune【免疫的】to these emotions【情感，情绪】. He was beyond any pretension【假装】. Although he corresponded【联系】with many of the world's most important people, his stationery【文具】carried only a watermark【水印】- W - for Woolworth's.To do his work he needed only a pencil only a pencil and a pad of【一叠】paper. Material things meant nothing to him. I never knew him to carry money because he never had any use for it. He believed in【相信，信仰】simplicity, so much so that he used only a safety razor【刮胡刀】and water to shave. When I suggested that he try shaving cream【刮胡子涂的……】, he said, "The razor and water do the job.""But Professor, why don't you try the cream just once?" I argued. "It makes shaving smoother【更平滑】and less painful."He shrugged【耸肩】. Finally, I presented him with a tube of shaving cream. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, he was beaming[笑容满面] with the pleasure of a new, great discovery. "You know, that cream really works," he announced. "It doesn't pull the beard. It feels wonderful." Thereafter【此后】, he used the shaving cream every morning until the tube was empty. Then he reverted【恢复到】to usingplain【普通的】water.Einstein was purely and exclusively【高级的】a theorist【学说创立人】. He didn't have the slightest interest in the practical application of his ideas and theories. His E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation 【等式】in history - yet Einstein wouldn't walk down the street to see a reactor create atomic【原子能的】energy. He won the Nobel Prize for his Photoelectric Theory, a series of equations that he considered relatively【相对地】minor【较小】in importance, but he didn't have any curiosity in observing how his theory made TV possible.My brother once gave the Professor a toy, a bird that balanced on the edge【在……的边缘】of a bowl of water and repeatedly【不断地】dunked its head in the water. Einstein watched it in delight【愉快地】, trying to deduce【推断】the operating principle【原理】. But be couldn't.The next morning he announced, "I had thought about that bird for a long time before I went to bed and it mu st work this way…" He began a long explanation. Then he stopped, realizing a flaw[漏洞] in his reasoning. "No, I guess that's not it," he said. He pursued【继续……】various【各种各样的】theories【理论】for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. His quick expression【表情】of disapproval【不肯定，不支持】told me he did not agree with this practical approach【方法】. He never did work out the solution.Another puzzle【疑惑】that Einstein could never understand washis own fame【名望】. He had developed theories that were profound 【内涵深刻的】and capable of exciting relatively few scientists. Yet his name was a household word across the civilized【文明的】world. "I've had good ideas, and so have other men," he once said. "But it's been my good fortune【运气】that my ideas have been accepted." He was bewildered【为难，手足无措】by his fame: people wanted to meet him; strangers stared at him on the street; scientists, statesmen, students, and housewives wrote him letters. He never could understand why he received this attention, why he was singled out as something special.Unit4 The Professor and the Yo-Yo 在一个年轻朋友的心目中，爱因斯坦是个纯朴、谦虚的普通人。
