题目内容:
Once, Einstein gave a lecture in a university.After his speech, the audience started asking questions.
A girl asked, “Do you think you're a giant of science?”
Einstein said with a smile, “A giant is a person who is tall in height.You see I'm so small, how can I be a giant? Maybe I see a bit farther, only because I stand higher!”
Then a boy asked, “You mentioned you stand higher than the others.It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps (阿尔卑斯山).I don't want to ask what you talked, but I want to know whether you realised you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top.”
Looking at the boy carefully, Einstein replied, “Well, my height cannot become a top.And there is no top that no one can get to, so we don't want to be a top, but we want to be a person to climb the top!”
Then he took up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard, “Standing on the top, you are not tall, but even smaller!”
Then he said, “Though I stand tall, in the eyes of the world I'm still small! Finally, I can tell you a sentence, which was the last one I told the lady on the top of the Alps, ‘Any top can be reached, for there is no giant in the world but the one who stands higher!’”
A storm of applause(掌声) sounded.The lady who listened to Einstein's instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!
