English Original
The teacher was vividly describing the discovery of the law of gravitation, hoping to impress upon the children its significance.
He said, "Isaac Newton was sitting on the ground, looking at a tree. An apple suddenly fell on his head, which led him to discover gravity." He added, "Isn't that wonderful?"
The "smart boy" in the class replied loudly, "Yes, teacher, and he was very fortunate. If he had been looking at his books, he wouldn't have discovered anything."

他说：“艾萨克·牛顿坐在地上，看着一棵树。一个苹果突然掉下来砸中了他的头，这促使他发现了引力。”他接着问道：“这不是很奇妙吗？”
班上那个“聪明男孩”大声回答道：“是的，老师，而且他非常幸运。如果他当时是在看书本，就什么也不会发现了。”
