Albert Einstein 演講
Albert Einstein 愛因斯坦演講When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speechmaking.
"I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you."
Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!"
When they arrive at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly.
Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool.
Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me."
當愛因斯坦四處演講時,他總是迫不及待地想回到實驗室繼續工作。一天晚上,他們開車去參加又一次乏味的晚宴,愛因斯坦向他的司機(一個相貌和舉止都與愛因斯坦有些相似的男子)抱怨說他已經厭倦了演講。
“我有個主意,老闆,”司機說,“我聽過您講過無數遍這個演講稿了。我敢打賭,我可以替您講一遍。”
愛因斯坦大笑起來,說:“何樂而不為?就這麼辦!”
到達晚宴地點後,愛因斯坦戴上司機的帽子,穿上他的外套,坐在房間的後排。司機精彩地演繹了愛因斯坦的演講稿,甚至還熟練地回答了幾個問題。
這時,一位極度自負的教授提出了一個關於反物質形成的深奧問題,期間還不時跑題,彷彿要讓在場的所有人都知道他可不是傻瓜。
司機毫不猶豫地用銳利的目光盯著教授,說道:“先生,這個問題的答案非常簡單,我讓坐在後座的司機來回答吧。”
