English Original
Once, Albert Einstein, the world-famous scientist, was traveling by train. At dinner time, he went to the dining car.
Menu in hand, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his glasses in his compartment. He shrugged. Unwilling to go back, he tried his best to identify the fine print. However, his effort was in vain. He returned the menu to the waiter nearby and said, "Would you please read this menu for me?"
The waiter shrugged. Then he murmured to Mr. Einstein, "Sir, I'm terribly sorry. I am illiterate too."

有一次,世界著名科学家阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦正乘火车旅行。晚餐时间,他去了餐车。
他拿着菜单,突然意识到自己把眼镜忘在车厢包间里了。他耸了耸肩。由于不愿回去,他尽力辨认那些细小的文字。然而,他的努力是徒劳的。他把菜单递给身旁的服务员,说道:“您能帮我读一下这份菜单吗?”
服务员耸了耸肩,然后低声对爱因斯坦先生说:“先生,非常抱歉。我也是文盲。”
