两位天才
很多人认位阿尔伯特爱因斯坦(1879-1955)事一位天才,这个故事显示出他还很有幽默感
爱因斯坦经常被邀请前往其他的大学阐述他的理论。图中,他的司机汉斯经常说,“载着一位像你——爱因斯坦播视这样的天才,我感到十分高兴”。
一天傍晚,在前往一所大学的途中,爱因斯坦说:"我很累,我希望我今晚不用演讲,汉斯,但是我不想让观众失望。"
“我知道怎么说,”汉斯说,“我可以替你去演讲,你可以相信我,我听了你的演讲这么多次,我都背下来了。在这所大学没人认识你,所以他们不会发现的。”
因此,他们交换了角色。在大学,汉斯被带到礼堂的前面,爱因斯坦坐了下来,听着汉斯轻而易举地坐演讲,最后还跟着观众一起鼓掌。
然而,在汉斯离开讲台之际,一位男子大喊道:“我想问你一个问题。”然后他就问了一个很难的问题以至于汉斯丝毫不知道他在说什么。
爱因斯坦的脸色变得苍白。奥,不,他想。我们遇到困难了,然而汉斯却说,这个问题非常简单,连我的司机都会回答:”汉斯,请。“
爱因斯坦站起来,给了大家一个完美的答案。
他们离开了那所大学,且由爱因斯坦担当了司机,不一会,汉斯要求开车,不,爱因斯坦笑着说。”载着一位像你——汉斯这样的天才,我感到十分高兴。“
