当我开始阐述自己的见解时,他叫我把方程式写在黑板上,这样他就能明白它们是怎么展开。
接着他提出了一个令人惊鄂但又非常可爱的请求:“请你漫漫地写,我理解东西不快。
”这种话竟出自爱因斯坦之口!他说得很温和,我笑了。
从此残留的畏惧之情都烟消云散了。
爱因斯坦于1879年出生在德国的乌尔姆市。
他并非神童式的人物。
事实上他说话很晚,他的父母甚至担心他是弱、智儿。
上学后,虽然老师们看不出他有什么天分,但天才的迹象已经显露。
例如,他自学微积分,老师们有些怕他,因为他总问些他们回答不出的问题。
因此,十六岁时他就问自己是否当人跟着光波跑得一样快的时候它会好像是静止的。
由这一天真的问题的引发,十年之后他创立了相对论。
爱因斯坦没有通过苏黎士瑞士联邦工艺学校的入学考试,但在一年后被录取了。
在那,他除了完成规定的学业外,还自修了物理学的经典著作。
他申请教学职位没有通过,终于在1902年在伯尔尼找了一个专利督察员的差使,三年后,他的天才结出了累累硕果。
在令人难忘的1905年,他创造了很多非同寻常的东西,其中就有相对论极其著名的衍生公式,E≒mc (能量等于质量乘以光速的平方),以及有关光的量子论。
这两个理论不仅具有革命性,而且表面上看来是相互对立的:前者与光波论联系紧密,后者则表示光似乎由粒子构成。
但这个不为人知的年轻人大胆地将这两个理论同时抛出----- 而且他的这两个理论都是正确的,至于他为何是正确的,其中的缘由过于复杂,此处就不多说了。
与爱因斯坦一同工作是令人无法忘怀的经历。
1937年,我和波兰物理学家利奥波德.因费尔德问他能否与他一起工作。
他听到这个提议很高兴,因为他有个关于地心引力的想法有待进一步深入探讨。
这样我们不仅了解了作为朋友的爱因斯坦,也了解了作为专家的他。
他专心致志的强度和深度简直令人难以置信。
着手解决一个棘手问题时,他会像动物追咬猎物一样坚持不懈。
当我们的工作遇到似乎难以逾越的障碍时,他会站起身,把笔放到桌子上,用他腔调奇特的英语说着“我要显一显”(他发不准“想”这个音)。

3. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827), German composer, was one of music‟s greatest geniuses. His works have a rare originality, emotional depth, and expressive power. He was known for his nine symphonies, piano concertos and sonatas, and string quartets. Most of Beethoven‟s compositions were written in the classical forms established by his predecessors Mozart and Haydn, so he is sometimes considered the last great composer in the classical tradition. But he also remoulded and expanded the old forms and infused them with highly personal intensity of emotion, so he is also referred to as the first of the Romantics.
5. The Nazis Nazism is a political doctrine of racial supremacy, nationalism, and dictatorship. Nazi is an abbreviated form of the German words for National Socialism. It was Adolf Hitler, a member of national Socialist German Workers‟ Party, who developed the programme for Nazism in his book Mein Kampf (1925 – 1927 My Battle). He defined the Germanic peoples as race, called Aryans, superior to other races. He blamed Germany‟s troubles on Jewish capitalism, communism, and the heavy reparation payments Germany was required to make to the victorious Allies by the Treaty of Versailles (June 28, 1919) that ended the First World Warard Nobel (1833 – 1896), a distinguished Swedish chemist and industrialist, provided for the award of the Nobel prizes. He experimented with different kinds of explosives such as nitroglycerin and dynamite, both deadly explosives. However, he was a pacifist and he feared that his inventions might further warfare. In his will he left about $9,000,000,00 in a fund to reward those who did most for their fellow men in science, literature, and peace. In his will, he specified that the interest accrued by the fund “be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind” in the field of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace, regardless of nationality.

that had crawled all the way up from Miramar and lay in wait for us somewhere in a deep pool of the arroyo – a monster no less real because he lived only in our imagination. 4 When the older boys of the village came to the pond on Sunday afternoons we watched them swim and dive. From a high branch of the big nogal they dropped a swing made of bush vines we called liana, braided like the women of the pueblo3 did their hair. The boy who was to dive next waited up in the nogal.

It sounds irrational that a person does not know what he himself thinks before he sees what he says.

The word specifically refers to the Watergate Hotel, one of the plushest hotels in Washington D.C."Watergate" has entered the political lexicon as a term synonymous with corruption and scandal. It was here that the Watergate Burglars broke into the Democratic Party's National Committee offices on June 17, 1972.The story of Watergate has an intriguing historical and political background, arising out of political events of the 1960s. But the chronology of the scandal really begins during 1972, when the burglars were arrested. By 1973, Richard Nixon had been re-elected President, but the storm clouds were building. By early 1974, the nation was consumed by Watergate. Nixon made three major speeches on the Watergate scandal during 1973 and 1974.Political investigations began in February 1973 when the Senate established a Committee to investigate the Watergate scandal. The Committee uncovered the existence of the secret White House tape recordings, sparking a major political and legal battle between the Congress and the President.In 1974, the House of Representatives authorized the Judiciary Committee to consider impeachment proceedings against Nixon. Nixon's last days in office came in late July and early August, 1974. The House Judiciary Committee voted to accept three of four proposed Articles of Impeachment of the President.The final blow came with the decision by the Supreme Court to order Nixon to release more White House tapes. Around the country, there were calls for Nixon to resign.At 9 pm on the evening of August 8, 1974, Nixon delivered a nationally televised resignation speech. The next morning, he made his final remarks to the White House staff before sending his resignation letter to the Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger.The Watergate brought down Richard Nixon, and had profound consequences in the United States.Nixon died in 1994 and was eulogized by the political establishment, although he was still a figure of controversy.Part Division of the text:Part one: The reason why the writer finds it difficult to write on the subject of lying and how she is going to deal with the difficulty in composing the essay.Part Two: The writer discusses four types of lies and tells us what she thinks about them respectively.Part Three: How the author feels we should cope with the question of whether or not to lie.Language Study1. intrigue--- Interest greatly; 有兴趣e.g. He’s always been intrigued by machinery. 他总是对机器很着迷。

5 The men who had worked on haciendas knew of these matters. We heard snatches of firsthand reports from them but mostly we learned from Don Catarino, Jose, Don Cleofas, and the muleteers who passed through Jalco. Whoever had been there came back cursing it. The riding boss was the Devil on horseback; in the company store every centavo you earned was taken back by a clerk who kept numbers in a book that proved you always owed him something. If a peon left the hacienda before his contract was over and his debts were paid, he became a fugitive. He either returned to his pueblo, his compadres and his milpa in some far-off place in the mountains, or he scratched for a living, lost in the forest.

Unit 1 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective(模糊的形容词), will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗?只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。

Unit ThreeTEXT 1THE NIGHTMARE LIFE WITHOUT FUELIsaac AsimovObjectives: to identify the examples in each para. by telling the central idea of it.to work out Asimov’s way in arranging all his details.to tell orally and in written form the importance of energy resource: the functions, the nightmare life without it, and the measures to be taken to avoid such nightmare life.Section onePre-reading Questions (10 mins.)1. What are the fuels that can be used in our life?Some fuels are indispensable to city life: coal, gas, petroleum.Some fuels are indispensable to country life: wood, natural gas, kerosene, petroleum.2. What fuel resources is China rich in?coal, oil, wood.3. Suppose the world had run out of fuel, what would happen to our life? What sort of ‘nightmare life’ do you think Asimov describes in this text?Text Analysis: catch the examples and the central meaning of each paragraph. (110 mins.)Para.1 --- lack of means of transport for going to work (why walk to work?) (comp.2-1)1. ‘So it’s 1997’. When was this article written?It was written in 1977. The year 1997 is the future year Asimov describes in his prediction. Now it’s 1997, and we can see if there is any truth in Asimo v’s prediction 20 years ago.2. What do the words “slosh” and ‘slide’ suggest about the trip to work by bike on that rainy day? (Comp.3 - 1)The trip is unpleasant and difficult because of the muddy and slippery road. Asimov starts with what seems to be the most essential thing to the Americans - the car. (Org. & Devl.)3. What are the examples?The subways/barts are crowded; many trains/one out of five trains break down (stop because of a mechanical fault); the buses are gone; the bicycles slosh and slide (flounder or splash about in slush or mud)Para. 2 --- lack of raw materials and alternative source of energye.g. Construction materials got from fading structures (old buildings); enough coal difficult to get; nuclear energy dangerous; solar energy expensive.1. Why does Asimov use ‘fading’ and ‘decaying’ to describe ‘structures’ and ‘city’ respectively? or, explain the meanings of these words. (comp.3-2)fading - losing color and brightness; disappearing gradually fading structures suggests that the buildings are in bad repair and become fewer and fewer in number.decaying - declining in prosperity, wasting awaydecaying city suggests that the city lacks vitality to the extent of collapsing.Together they help to create a bleak picture of the city.2. How do you understand The fading structures of a decaying city are the great mineral mines and hardware shops of the nation? Break them down and reuse the parts.When the old buildings are pulled down, the various parts such as those reinforcing bars, tubes, etc. can be recycled. So the fading structures seems to be the great mineral mines and hardware shops where the materials of this kind can be found.3. What is the job in demolition(= destruction, leveling)? Why is it steady according to the author? (comp.2-2)the job involved with destroying old buildings.because many old buildings have to be pulled down so that their various parts can be recycled.4. Coal is too difficult to ...; nuclear fission is ...; the technical breakthrough toward nuclear fusion ...; and solar batteries are ....Coal is time-consuming, effort-consuming, and energy-consuming in digging up and transportation.Nuclear fission is dangerous because it produces radioactive rays which are harmful to people by contaminating land, water, and air.Nuclear fusion did occur because we have had hydrogen bombs, but we can’t utilize the energy produced by nuclear fusion in our life up till now.Solar energy can’t be 100% utilized to produce electricity, so solar batteries are expensive.5. How does Asimov keep the first two paras. coherent?walk to work (para.1) - job in demolition (para.2) - job involving the re-use of raw materials and energy resources - lack of raw materials and energy resourcesPara.3 --- the disappearance of automobiles because of the shortage of gasolinehow there are no more cars running in the streets in 1997 (comp.2-3)1. What does filthy rich mean?2. What is rationed? What d oes the ‘sacrifice’ refer to?The gas/gasoline is rationed because of its shortage. ‘Sacrifice’ refers to those who can’t afford the gas to keep their cars moving.3. Describe how the automobiles vanish. (comp.3-3)Automobiles dwindled because of the rising price of gas. Then only the rich could afford to keep their cars. This enraged the ordinary people. Then gas was rationed. The ration was gradually decreased. Finally all cars disappeared.4. Is it true in America and in China?Cars are not diminishing in the states, but it is true that American people now show less interest in manufacturing automobiles, because they believe the future need is computers and internet/info highway, from which people can do almost everything, shopping, visiting, having meetings, communicating, watching movies, etc. They will be seldom in need of cars to carry them everywhere.In China, more and more people are purchasing cars, for owning a private car is the symbol of becoming wealthy.Para.4 --- some advantages of fuelless life / world1. According to the author, the fuel crisis of 1997 has some advantages. What are they? (comp.3 - 4) Why?less pollution (The air is cleaner) and fewer diseases, more security and lower crime rate, more healthy way of life (people walk all the time), closer human relationships (mutual protection in crowds).2. Rephrase With the police car too expensive (and too easy a target), policemen are back on their beats. Legs are king in the cities of 1997, and people walk everywhere far into the night.Police cars are too costly (and are very likely to become victims of assault), so policemen walk about designated routes to perform their patrol duty as before.In the year 1997, walking forms the most important means of transportation in the cities and, from early in the morning till late at night, people travel here and there, back and forth, all on foot.Para.5 --- what results from the shortage of electricity (and fuels)e.g. no heating, no air-conditioning, no more hot showers, less lighting1. What’s the meaning of with most of what furnace fuel is allowed hoarded for the dawn?2. How do you interpret lukewarm sponge baths will do. and if the air is not always very fragrant in the human vicinity, the automobiles fumes are 0gone. (comp.3-5)What people can have are only lukewarm sponge baths instead of showers, so if the air is full of the unpleasant smell coming from human perspiration because of fewer baths, you can smell the auto fumes.The pleasant smell in the air comes from human perspiration rather than from the toxic vapor of cars as people can no longer afford to have a shower every day but can only clean their bodies with a sponge.Note the understatement in the sentence.3. What are the consequences of the scarcity of electricity and fuels?no air-cons for heating and cooling, staying in the dark after supper, not to burn the furnace all night to keep warm, put on sweaters even indoors in winter, not to take showers everyday but only lukewarm sponge baths so not fragrant smell in the air elicited from human bodies because of fewer showers. Para.6 --- the more disastrous conditions in the suburbs because the scarcity of fuels, say, gasoline and electricitye.g. the diminishing of cars so people have to form shopping pools, and to use pushcarts. shortage of electricity so not enough to hoard for the whole winter, and not enough for the dogs to eat in winter1. What’s the function of the word ‘that’ in the first sentence? (comp.3-6)Introducing an adverbial clause expressing reason.2. Paraphrase There is some consolation in the city that it is worse in the suburbs.City people feel somewhat comforted by the thought that people in the suburbs suffer even more (from the energy shortage).3. Explain the meaning of the sentence The suburbs were born with the auto, lived with the auto,and are dying with the auto? (comp.3-7)The car made it possible for the city to sprawl out and develop its suburbs; the mobility the car provided made it possible for people to live in the suburbs; with the disappearance of the car, the once-prosperous suburbs are declining. Para.7. --- scarce energy resources should be priorly distributed to transport and agriculture, not to personal comfort, and the reasons (comp.2-4)e.g. The nation as a whole must survive. The railroads moving the coal which is the immediate hope, and the subways moving the people should receive major attention; energy must be conserved for agriculture in order to produce more food, to maintain sufficient food supply, or even to exchange some oil with food. As for the personal comfort, people can huddle together when cold, fan ourselves when cool, sleep or make love at night when there is no electricity. Para.8 --- starvation in the rest of the world (comp.2-5)1. What makes Americans feel that they are luckier than people elsewhere in the world? (comp.3-8)While Americans are forced to eat less, people in the rest of the world are simply starving.2. Paraphrase Some cynics say that it is the knowledge of this that helps keep American from despair. (LW6-4)American people know well that they are lucky to have enough food supply - America is one of the biggest agricultural exporters in the world - so that they do not lose any hope.According to some cynics, the reason why Americans have not yet lost hope is that they even understand that the situation in the rest of the world is even more discouraging.3. Paraphrase All the statistics point to rapidly declining rate of population increase, but that is coming about chiefly through a high infant mortality.The rapidly declining rate of population increase is resulted chiefly from a rapid increase of infants deaths. In other words, there are more infants who die every day than babies who are given birth to.Survey results indicate a rapid decrease in population, but this decline results mainly from a rapid increase in infant deaths.Para.9 --- brain damage caused by malnutritionThere are some people in the world who can get barely enough food to keep their body working so that they can survive / they are alive. However, their brains are permanently damaged because of malnutrition.The same is true in most parts of the African continent now, where there are fewer natural resources, but more fights with each other, and besides, the climate is not favorable for crops.So some people hold the view that it would be ‘realistic’ to wipe out those who are only alive but brain-damaged. It was reported days ago that during the years 1935 - 1976 in Sweden, 60,000 women were sterilized because they were regarded as inferior races. It is well known that Adolph Hitler massacred / slaughtered tremendous amount of Jews to purify / ensure the purity of his own Germanic race.Para.10 --- military forces reduced because the weapons are energy-consuming Though there are still some soldiers in uniform and with rifles in almost every nation, those energy-consuming weapons are limited.This is not the case in 1997 now.1. Why does Asimov think that only US and SU/USSR can maintain a few weapons in 1997?He considers these two nations as the military and economic superpowers in the world.Para.11 --- the effect of energy shortage on people’s work and on t heir cultural lifeBecause of the exhaustion of energy, people have to work manually for longer hours and have less cultural entertainment: less time to watch TV and movies, fewer books to read. Men can do little else besides work, sleep, and eat, with the last less likely to be guaranteed.This is proved to be a false prediction by the reality in 1997 now. 1. What does the Trinity refer to?God the Father Jehovah, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit Para.12 --- how the energy crisis will end1. How will the energy crisis end according to Asimov? (comp.2-6) or, what will the final consequences of the energy exhaustion?It will not end until the clock is turned back to about 200 years before. With the exhaustion of energy resources, we would have to live as if we were in the ages 200 years ago / before 1800, when there were no machine industry, no scientific technology because they were fossil fuels-consuming (fossil fuels are those that originated in organic matter of past geologic times: coal, oil, and natural gas); when there were only subsistence farming(farming that provides all or almost all the goods required by the farm family, usu. without any significant surplus for sale) and less population (no more than one billion) owing to starvation, disease and violence.Para.13 --- Asimov’s attitude in the face of the energy crisis? Is he totally pessimistic? (comp.3-10)No, he is not totally pessimistic. The article appeared in a 1977 issue of Time magazine, and what is described is supposed to happen in 1997. In the last sentence Asimov says ‘If we had started 20 years ago, that might have been another matter.’ This means that if measures had been taken in 1977, when the article was published, human beings could well be saved from the disaster caused by the exhaustion of energy resources. So Asimov still sees a ray of hope.Main idea: (10 mins.)By depicting the nightmarish life of Americans in 1997 resulting from the exhaustion of fossil fuels, the author draws attention to the gravity of the energy crisis and calls for immediate action to prevent the possible occurrence of the nightmare. (comp.1-B)(copm.3-9) Is the topic sentence of the passage explicitly stated or is it implied? What is it?The topic sentence of the passage is implied: Measures must be taken immediately to prevent the exhaustion of fuel on earth, which will likely result in a nightmareish life for the Americans and other people of the world as well.Organization and Development / Analysis - ExampleGroup work : Silent reading of Org. & Devl./ Analysis and discussion on the following questions.(15 mins.)Class discussion: Ask one in each group to answer one question and the others evaluate it.(15 mins.)1. What are the examples Asimov uses and how does he organize his examples?(25 mins.)In his essay Asimov has used many examples to draw a grim picture of human life without fuel. Obviously these examples are intended to illustrate the indispensable role energy plays i n people’s daily lives. These examples are so tangible that the reader may well picture how much people are relying on energy resources. From there, he can further visualize the possible consequences of a fuel crisis, ready to accept the author’s claim t hat proper measures must be taken immediately to conserve energy.Of the various effects which the exhaustion of energy resources might produce, Asimov has selected those which are most closely related to people’s daily life and thus are the most immediately felt. This will make the reader sense more acutely the gravity of the situation.Apparently these examples are not a random collection. Rather, they are carefully chosen to serve the writer’s purpose.Observe how Asimov organize his examples. In helping to explain the various consequences of a predicted energy crisis, he begins with examples of inconveniences that are directly related to individual lives, inconveniences caused by cars, heaters, lights, showers and air-conditioners; he then moves on to those related to communal life, such as transportation, agriculture, industry and national defense. It is not hard to see that Asimov is here following the order of importance.One of the advantages of such a plan is that, by putting the strongest examples last, the impression it creates may remain with the reader....Asimov starts with what seems to be the most essential thing to the Americans - the car. Then the inconvenience and hardship of life caused by the shortage of electricity. Then the shortage of food. And lastly, the less essential aspect of life - cultural life and what is less directly related to the ordinary people - the military build-up of the country. Generally speaking, one can probably say that Asimov follows the order of ‘from what the people are most concerned with to what they are less concerned with.’2. How does one set of examples evolve from another?Examples of the suburbs naturally follow those of the cities. And the situation of the world naturally follows that of the US. Brain-damage caused by malnutrition evolves from deaths caused by starvation.3. In what case should we use examples in our writing?Examples are used to turn a general or abstract statement into a meaningful and concrete message, making a concept or an argument more specific, precise and clear.4. What should be noticed in the choice of examples?A well-chosen example or illustration can support a claim so that the reader may feel willing to accept it as true. Similarly, a poorly-selected example or illustration may even destroy a claim. So examples should be relevant so that they may illuminate accurately the ideas as desired.5. How can examples be arranged?Normally, examples can be arranged in a chronological fashion as in a narrative or process paper. If time does not seem important, the examples may be placed in order of importance, impressiveness, wittiness, outrageousness, or seriousness.Pre-class work:Read Text 2 and identify the wide use of air-con in the States, and its effects.Text 2THE GREAT AMERICAN COOLING MACHINEFrank TrippettQuestions for discussion:1. the extravagant use of cooling machines in the US.

3. Victorian era: Victoria‟s reputation in Britain was also due to her personality. She set a very severe home discipline for her children. Any dishonesty, mischief, negligence or rude language might result in beatings for them. She herself was very careful about her behaviour on public occasions. In addition, she maintained a very harmonious relation with her husband and almost set a standard for domestic virtues of rectitude(正直)of personal conduct. Victoria‟s achievements were so popular in Britain and her personality was so widely esteemed and imitated by the middle class that the epithet Victorian was later applied to any person or time with the characteristics of decency and morality, self-satisfaction based on wealth, conscious rectitude, unquestioning acceptance of authority and orthodoxy, and great industrial and scientific development. Her time was thus called “the polite society” in English history.

Unit 1 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective(模糊的形容词), will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗?只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。

Beethoven's musical style
Beethoven was a music revolutionary giant. 贝多芬则是一位音乐的革命巨人。
Beethoven's symphonies(交响曲) is mainly written about the hero of the Revolutionary struggle(革命斗争) His music created rich and varied image, the use of each of his works in sonata(奏鸣曲) form has its own characteristics. 他创作的形象丰富多样,运用在他的每一部lso the author of The Strange Story of the Quantum, The Tyranny of Testing, About Vectors, and Relativity and Its Roots. He was a member of the Baker Street Irregulars and wrote the short story Sherlock, Shakespeare, and the Bomb, published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine in February 1966.
2.Beethoven in many respects directly inherited and developed the Mozart's art.
Mozart's musical style
1.Mozart is a unique prodigy in the history of music. 2.the most prominent feature of Mozart's musical style is maintaining an unmatched fluency and singing. 3.Mozart‘s piano music is full of quiet, fantasy, romance and simple,but it captures the most basic and beautiful feeling of the listener. 莫扎特是音乐史上独一无二的天才神童。 其音乐风格最突出的特点,就是保持着一种无与伦比的流畅性与 歌唱性。 他的钢琴音乐中充满了宁静,幻想,浪漫,简约却抓住了聆乐人内心 基本,最美好的感受。
He obtained his Ph.D. from University of Zurich. He later became professor at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Gesellschaft in Berlin.
Scientific Works
The 1905 papers: Three seminal papers researched and written by Einstein. The first concerning electromagnetic energy The second proposing the special theory of relativity The third concerning statistical mechanics
Birth and Childhood
• Albert was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. • Parents Hermann and Pauline were non observant Jews whose family business consisted of the manufacturing of electrical parts.
The house where Einstein was born.
Early Schooling
Albert received good grades but found his schooling restricting as it depended on memorization and obedience. His real studies were done at home while reading science and math textbooks. He left his school in Munich at age 15, to join his parents who had moved to Italy.
Conclusion
可以说听莫扎特的钢琴音乐时是怀着一种高尚的宁静来细细咀嚼的,仿佛 是走进了一个繁花似锦的花园,静静的享受着古典的建筑,庭中小径,月光 下的路灯,小草鲜花,清亮的流水声,漫天的星斗倒影在小池中……一曲终 了,可以怀着安逸悄然入睡。而在欣赏贝多芬的钢琴作品时心中往往是不 能平静的。如《月光》奏鸣曲中,第一乐章好象皓月当空,一派安宁景象, 第二乐章则如月映池底,波光澜澜,第三乐章是无论如何也难以让人联想到 月亮的。其急风暴雨般的演奏典型地表现出了贝多芬的风格。所以,贝多 芬和莫扎特的区别就在于两人都赐给人类美妙的音乐,可美的不一样,美的 一快,一慢;一个入世,一个出世;一个正视生活的困难,一个则用含着眼泪的 微笑面对严酷的生活。
Einstein’s class in Munich in 1889. Einstein is in the front row, second from the right.
Albert graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1900 as a secondary math and physics teacher.
• 有一天他说莫扎特是所有作曲家中最伟大的一位,这让我吃惊不小。 他认为贝多芬的音乐是"创造"出来的,而莫扎特的音乐是如此纯净和 优美,让人感觉他只是在哪儿"发现"了它---它一直是宇宙内在的美的 一部分,一直存在着,等待着我们去发现。

Special Relativity(1905) 狭义相对论
The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another (principle of relativity). The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the light source.
Scientific Works
E=mc² This equation expresses the deep connection between energy and mass. E represents energy, m represents mass, and c² is a very large number, the square of the speed of light.

Relationship with Einstein
He was a British mathematician and physicist known for his association with Albert Einstein. While at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Hoffmann collaborated with Einstein and Leopold Infeld on the classic paper Gravitational Equations and the Problem of Motion. What Einstein, Infeld, and Hoffmann showed was that the equation of motion followed directly from the field equation that defined the geometry.

Evaluation of Einstein
• One day he surprised me by saying Mozart was the greatest composer of all. Beethoven "created" his music, but the music of Mozart was of such purity and beauty one felt he had merely "found" it - that it had always existed as part of the inner beauty of the Universe, waiting to be revealed.
