Alexander the Great and His Teacher | 亚历山大大帝与他的老师

English Original

Landon had made an unsuccessful attempt at the recitation, and the doctor, somewhat nettled, said: "Landon, you don't seem to be getting on very fast in this subject. You seem to lack ambition. Why, at your age Alexander the Great had conquered half the world."

"Yes," said Landon, "he couldn't help it, for you will recall the fact, doctor, that Alexander the Great had Aristotle for a teacher."


中文翻译

兰登的朗诵尝试并不成功。老师有些恼火,说道:“兰登,你在这门课上似乎进步不大,你好像缺乏志向。要知道,亚历山大大帝在你这个年纪已经征服了半个世界。”

“是啊,”兰登说,“他没法不成功,老师,您回想一下史实,亚历山大大帝的老师可是亚里士多德。”
