A young man approached Thomas Edison and declared, "I intend to invent an all-purpose dissolvent, one that can dissolve any material."
Edison replied with a question, "In that case, what kind of container will you use to hold it?"
一个年轻人找到托马斯·爱迪生，宣称道：“我打算发明一种万能溶剂，一种能溶解任何物质的溶剂。”
爱迪生反问道：“如果是那样，你打算用什么容器来装它呢？”
