經典名人故事三則

經典名人故事:I am illiterate too

Once Albert Einstein, the world-famous scientist, was traveling by train. At dinner time he went to the dining car.

Menu in hand, he suddenly readlized that he had forgotten his glasses in his compartment. Heshrugged. Unwilling to go back, he tried his best to indentify, the fine letters. However, his effort was in vain. He returned the menu to the waiter near him, "Would you please read this menu for me?" The waiter shrugged. Then murmured to Mr Einstein, "Sir, I'm terribly sorry. I am illiterate too."

有一次,世界著名科學家阿伯特.愛因斯坦正在乘火車旅行。吃飯的時候他去了餐車。

他手中拿着菜單,突然意識到自己把眼鏡忘在車廂包間裏了。他聳了聳肩,不願回去,盡力辨認那些難以辨認的字母。然而,他的努力是徒勞的。他把菜單還給身邊的侍者說:“請您替我讀一下這份菜單,好不好?”侍者聳了聳肩,然後對愛因斯坦先生低聲嘀說:“先生,非常抱歉,我也是文盲。”

經典名人故事:The secret of success

A young man once asked Albert Einstein what the secret of success was. The great scientist told him that the secret of success was hard work.

A few days later the young man asked him the same question again. Einstein was very annoyed.

He did not say anything but wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to the young man. The young man looked at the piece of paper. On it was written:

X=Y+X+Z

"What does this mean?" asked the young man.

"A means success," explained the old scientist. "X stands for hard work, Y stands for good methods, and Y means that you should stop talking and get down to work."

有個年輕人曾經問阿伯特.愛因斯坦成功的祕訣是什麼,這位偉大的科學家告訴他成功的祕訣是勤奮

幾天後這個年輕人又問他同樣的問題,愛因斯坦很惱火。

他一句話也沒說,只是在一張紙上寫下幾個字,遞給那年輕人。年輕人看了紙條,只見上面寫着:

X=Y+X+Z

“這是什麼意思?”年輕人問道。

“A表示成功,”這位老科學家解釋說,“X代表勤奮,Y代表好的方法,Z的意思是別空談,認真的工作。”
