He was one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known, yet if I had to convey the essence 2 of Albert Einstein in a single word, I would choose simplicity. Perhaps an anecdote 3 will help. Once, caught in a downpour, he took off his hat and held it under his coat. Asked why, he explained, with admirable logic , that the rain would damage the hat, but his hair would be none the worse4 for its wetting. This knack for going instinctively to the heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries — this and his extraordinary feeling for beauty.
I first met Albert Einstein in 1935 , at the famous Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N. J. 5 He had been among the first to be invited to the Institute, and was offered carte blanche6 as to salary. To the director’s dismay, Einstein asked for an impossible sum: it was far too small. The director had to plead with him to accept a larger salary.
I was in awe of7 Einstein, and hesitated before approaching him about some ideas I had been working on. When I finally knocked on his door, a gentle voice said, “Come ”—with a rising inflection that made the single word both a welcome and a question. I entered his office and found him seated at a table, calculating and smoking his pipe. Dressed in ill-fitting clothes, his hair characteristically awry8 , he smiled a warm welcome . His utter naturalness at once set me at ease.
As I began to explain my ideas, he asked me to write the equations on the blackboard so he could see how they developed. Then came the staggering — and altogether endearing — request:“Please go slowly. I do not understand things quickly. ”This from Einstein! He said it gently, and I laughed. From then on, all vestiges of fear were gone.

參考譯文
愛因斯坦軼事
阿 爾伯特· 愛因斯坦是世界上最偉大的科學(xué)家之一, 然而如果要用一個(gè)詞來形容他的 話, 那就是單純。還是看一段他的軼事吧。一次, 愛因斯坦遇上了傾盆大雨, 他便摘下帽子 把它夾在上衣里。問他為什么這樣做, 他的解釋真是妙極了: 大雨會(huì)淋壞帽子, 而頭發(fā)淋一 下卻無傷大雅。他具有一把抓住事物核心的天賦, 而且對(duì)美有著獨(dú)特的感受, 這是他探索重大科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)的訣竅所在。
我第一次見阿爾伯特· 愛因斯坦是1935 年, 在新澤西州普林斯頓鎮(zhèn)著名的高等研究 院。他是首批被邀請(qǐng)到研究院工作的, 院方給予的待遇是一張簽好字的空白支票。令院長 沮喪的是, 愛因斯坦的要求讓你難以接受: 他索要甚少。院長不得不懇求他多索要一些薪 水。
我敬畏愛因斯坦, 在就我所做的研究向他請(qǐng)教之前, 我都感到忐忑不安。最終, 我敲響 了他辦公室的門,“ 進(jìn)來”, 一個(gè)溫柔的聲音說道——— 那種升調(diào)使得這個(gè)簡單的詞語既表示歡 迎又含有疑問。我走進(jìn)辦公室, 看到他坐在桌子旁邊, 一邊正計(jì)算著什么, 一邊還抽著煙 斗。愛因斯坦不修邊幅, 頭發(fā)蓬亂, 頗有特色, 他微笑著向我表示熱烈歡迎。那種輕松自如 的神態(tài), 立刻讓我覺得很放松。
我正要向他解釋我的想法, 他讓我把等式寫在黑板上, 以便他能看清楚等式的演算過 程。然后他提了一個(gè)令人吃驚的——— 又讓人喜愛的——— 請(qǐng)求:“ 請(qǐng)慢點(diǎn)寫, 我反應(yīng)慢。”這 話竟出自愛因斯坦! 他說話如此斯文, 我笑了。自那一刻起, 我對(duì)愛因斯坦一點(diǎn)都不覺得 害怕了。
