人物介绍（

Introducing Somebody

美文欣赏

Although Princeton, New

Jersey

1

, has a

world-famous

2

university, it is still

a small quiet town. It is not a place where anyone would expect to see strange

characters on the street. That is why one woman will never forget the day in

1940 when, as a child, she suddenly saw a funny-looking man coming towards

her. “I remember,” she tells her children now, “how wild his white hair

looked---as if it had been

electrified

3

. He was short. His clothes seemed to be

just pulled on to keep him covered, like a blanket to keep one warm. He had a

big nose, a short, thick

moustache

4

, and deep-set eyes. He was staring,

thinking. He almost knocked me down before he saw me. He gave me a friendly

smile, then he walked on and went on thinking. I noticed he had on

bedroom

slippers

5

. He had forgotten to put on his shoes. He looked as if he had

just stepped out of my book of fairy tales and had passed me like a spirit. That

night at dinner when I told my family about the strange, funny man I had seen,

my father put down his knife and fork, looked at me and said,‘My child,

remember this. Today you saw the greatest man in the world!’”

That man was Elbert Einstein. How and why he had come to Princeton, New

Jersey is a story of struggle, success, and sadness.

曾经诵记过不少老高中教材的英文片段，这是留下非常深刻记 忆的其中一段。想想看，

应该有两个原因：

一是当时的教材中的 确缺少这样描写人物的材料，

二是这一段的确写得很

精彩，

以至于每每看到爱因斯坦的画像时总想起这段描写，

而背读起这段文 字时眼前又总是

浮现出爱因斯坦的形象。这或许就是我们常常说到的

“

形象生动

”

、

< br>“

栩栩如生

”

吧。

文段边忆边叙，

为我们刻画了一位大鼻深眼、

短须乱发、

衣 着随意、不修边幅的人物形

象，而他竟然是大名鼎鼎的爱因斯坦，也难怪

He was staring, thinking

。
