愛因斯坦的司機【1】（笑話，譯文）
譯自法語by me, 英語由Gemini proofread過
Einstein's Chauffeur
The great Albert Einstein, after discovering one of the greatest theories of the scientific world—on relativity and some principles of magnetic fields—devoted himself to numerous conferences in the United States. He had a vehicle and a chauffeur, always the same one, and traveled for years across American universities to explain his work to students and professors.
During a discussion on a journey, his chauffeur said to him:
"You know, Sir, it's been several years that I've been helping with your conferences. In fact, now I know them by heart, to the point that I could replace you without any worries."
"Excellent," replied Einstein, "precisely tonight we're going to a university where no one knows me. You give me your cap. I will pretend to be you, and you will pretend to be me."
And so it was done. The chauffeur gave the conference in Einstein's place, where he performed perfectly. Everyone in the conference room applauded.
After a long ovation, the chauffeur managed to reach the exit. A colleague called out to him at the door and asked him a question of astounding complexity regarding nuclear radiation.
The chauffeur thought it over for several seconds and answered:
"Your question surprises me, dear friend. The answer is totally simple, even childish. Come with me; we'll go together to see my chauffeur, and you will see he can give you the very same answer."
愛因斯坦的司機
偉大的愛因斯坦在發現了科學界裏最偉大的理論之一的相對論和磁場原則後就把自身貢獻於美國的科學會議上。他有一輛汽車和一個司機，而且總是如此，多年來來往於美國的大學之間，向學生和教授們解釋他的理論。
有一次，途中他的司機對他說：
“先生，您知道，這些年來我一直開車幫您開會。不瞞您說，您講的東西我已經融會貫通達到了能夠運用自如來代替您講的田地了。”
“倍兒棒，”愛因斯坦回答，“我今晚正好在一個大學有個會議，那個大學裏沒人認識我。你把你的帽子給我。你裝成我，我扮成你。”
就這樣，司機替愛因斯坦在會議上的講演很成功，會議廳裏響起掌聲。
經久不息的掌聲停止後，司機就要離開。一位同仁在大廳門口叫住了他，問他一個相當複雜的有關原子輻射的問題。
司機思索了幾秒就回答：
“你的問題讓我一愣，我的朋友。答案忒簡單，甚至有點兒孩子氣。過來，咱們一起去見我的司機，他會給你一個像我一樣的回答。”
