第2章 A Wild Guess奇猜异想

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

A Wild Guess

Our physics professor was struggling to draw the class into discussion of Archimedes principle of water displacement. He told us that Archimede noticed that when he got into a pool at the public bathhouse, the water rose spilling over the edge. Excited at his discovery, he ran down the street yelling, “Eureka, Eureka! ”The instructor asked if anyone knew what that meant.

One student stood up and answered, “Im naked ! Im naked!”

只工作,不玩耍,聪明孩子也变傻。

奇猜异想

我们的物理教授努力地引导我们讨论阿基米德的排水原理。他告诉我们阿基米德去公共浴池洗澡,当他进入池子时,发现水涨高了,从池子边沿溢出来。他对这一发现十分激动,跑到街上高叫:“Eureka,Eureka!”教授问我们谁知道他喊的是什么意思。

一个学生站起来答道:“我光屁股啦,我光屁股啦!”
