教師很生動地描述萬有引力定律的發(fā)現(xiàn),他想讓學生對它的重要性留下深刻的印象。
He said, "Isaac Newton was sitting on the ground looking at the tree. An apple suddenly fell on his head. It led him discover gravitation." And he added, "Isn't that wonderful?"
他說:“艾薩克·牛頓坐在地上,望著那棵樹。忽然又一個蘋果掉下來落到他的頭上。這就促使他發(fā)現(xiàn)了萬有引力。”他還接著說:“這不是很奇妙嗎?”
The "smart boy" in the class replied in a high voice: "Yes, teacher, and he was very fortunate. If looking at his books, he wouldn't have discovered anything."
這時班上那個被叫做“精仔”的男孩尖著嗓子回答說:“是的,老師,而且還很幸運。如果他是坐在學校里看著書本,就什么也不會發(fā)現(xiàn)了。”
