第一课
One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it.
古希腊的一天,海尔罗国王请一位制作皇冠的人给他制作一顶金皇冠.起初,他对皇冠感到非常高兴.
“It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” he
wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.
“这是一个很漂亮的皇冠,不是吗?”他问仆人.不过后来他开始怀疑皇冠是否是一顶真的金皇冠.“这真是纯金的吗?”他纳闷着.他把皇冠送到了阿基米德那里,叫他搞清楚真
相.
“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. “这个问题似乎很难解决.我该怎么办?”阿基米德想.
Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.
当阿基米德往浴池里倒水的时候他仍然思考着这个难题.当他进入浴池时,一些水溢了出来.
“That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!” “就是如此”阿基米德喊道,“我知道如何解决
国外的难题了!”
Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. 阿基米德直接去到了宫
殿觐见国王.首先,他称了皇冠,然后像国王要了同等重量的金子. Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one
pot and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.
接着,他放了两个罐子到两个大碗里,然后把罐子注满了水.他把金子放
入其中一个罐,一些水跑到了碗里.然后他把皇冠放入另一个罐.这个次,更多的水跑到了碗里.
“Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown
displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “快看”阿
基米德对国王说道.“一个完全由金子制作
的皇冠比一个由金子和其他金属制作的皇冠要取代更少的水.这顶皇冠
比同等质量的金子取代更多的水,所以我确定这不是纯金的.
“The crown maker tricked me , didn’t he? What a bad man he
is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.
“金匠骗了我,对不对?这个大坏人!”海尔罗国王喊道.然后他把金匠投入了监狱.
第二课
很多人将爱因斯坦视为天才.他的学说推动了核能领域的发展.爱因斯坦说他的才能就是拥有一颗好奇心,但他也很有幽默细胞.
在他年轻的时候,爱因斯坦收到过很多到大学去宣讲学说的邀请.虽然去的是不同的大学（本句如果按照字面上翻实在难受,字面上说的是：在每次旅行中,他的司机总是一个人-）
但是他的司机总是一个人-----一个叫Hans的人.Hans总是说：“爱因斯坦博士,为像您一样的天才驾车实在是我的荣幸.”
一天晚上,在他们去一所大学的路上,爱因斯坦说：“我真希望我今晚不必却讲座,Hans.我太累了.但是我不能让我的听众们感到失望,对不对?”
“您不必亲自去讲,”Hans说,“我能够替您去讲.我已经听您讲过好多遍了,烂熟于心.没人会发现的.”
爱因斯坦同意了,并与Hans交换了“角色”.爱因斯坦对Hans说,“不要试着去回答我的问题,好不好?”Hans点头同意了.
到达大学以后,Hans被带上了被很多教授和学生包围着的讲台.爱因斯坦则坐在听众席,听着Hans完美地完成了他的讲座,并在结束时与观众一同鼓掌.
但是,在Hans离开讲台前,一位教授在观众席上大喊,“我想问你一个困难的问题.”然后他问了一个难到Hans都听不懂的问题.
爱因斯坦想,“哦,不!我们有麻烦了.”但是Hans笑着说,“这并不是一个困难的问题.实际上,这简单到连我的司机都能够回答.Hans,请.”爱因斯坦站起来并完美的回答
