English Original
At a pre-med university in St. Louis, students were required to take a challenging physics course. One day, while the professor was explaining a particularly complex concept, a student rudely interrupted: "Why do we have to learn this stuff?"
"To save lives," the professor replied curtly before resuming the lecture.
A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again, persisting: "So how does physics save lives?"
The professor responded, "It usually keeps idiots like you out of medical school."

在圣路易斯一所医学院预科大学，学生们必须修一门高难度的物理课。一天，教授正在讲解一个特别复杂的概念时，一名学生粗鲁地打断了他，问道：“我们为什么非要学这种东西？”
“为了救人。”教授简短地回答后，便继续讲课。
几分钟后，那名学生再次大声发问，坚持道：“那物理是怎么救人的呢？”
教授回答道：“它通常能把你这样的笨蛋挡在医学院门外。”
