Einstein and his driver

愛因斯坦，德國物理學(xué)家，相對論的奠基者，二十世紀(jì)兩大最重要的物理學(xué)家之一。他身上發(fā)生過很多有趣的事。下面就是他和他司機(jī)間發(fā)生的事。

At one time Einstein travelled all over the United States giving lectures.He travelled by car and soon became quite friendly with the driver.

The driver listened carefully to Einstein's lecture，which the great scientist gave again and again.One day he told Einstein that he knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself.Einstein smiled and said， “Why don't you give the lecture for me next time？ ” The driver agreed.

That evening two of them went along to the lecture hall.Nobody there had seen Einstein before.As the driver took his place on the stage everybody clapped.Then he began the lecture.Sure enough，he did not make a single mistake.It was a great success，and when it was over，people clapped and clapped.Then he started to leave，shaking hands with everybody，while Einstein followed quietly a few steps behind.

Just before they got to the door，a man stopped them and asked the driver a very difficult question.The driver listened carefully.Of course，he did not understand a thing，but he nodded his head as if he did.When the man stopped talking，the driver said that he thought the question was very interesting but really quite simple.In fact，in order to show how simple it was，he would ask his driver to answer it.

一次，愛因斯坦在美國各地巡回做報告。他是坐汽車巡回旅行的，并很快就與司機(jī)非常友好了。

司機(jī)認(rèn)真聽了這位偉大的科學(xué)家愛因斯坦反復(fù)做的報告。一天，他告訴愛因斯坦他非常了解這個報告，而且他肯定他自己就可以做這一報告。愛因斯坦微笑著說，“那為什么你下次不替我做報告呢？”司機(jī)同意了。

那天晚上他們兩人一同去了報告大廳。那里的人以前沒有見過愛因斯坦。當(dāng)司機(jī)代替他走上臺時，所有的人都鼓起掌來。然后他開始做報告。果然，他一個錯都沒出。這次報告是一個巨大的成功，結(jié)束時人們一再鼓掌。然后他起身離開，和所有的人握手，而愛因斯坦則在他身后幾步遠(yuǎn)的地方靜悄悄地跟著。

就在他們快到門口的時候，一個人攔住他們，問了司機(jī)一個十分難的問題。司機(jī)認(rèn)真聽著。當(dāng)然，他一點也不懂，但他點著頭好像他聽懂了。等那人說完，司機(jī)說他認(rèn)為這個問題很有意思，但卻真的很簡單，實際上，為了表示它到底有多么簡單，他將請他的司機(jī)來回答。
