1492年,哥伦布发现了从海上回来,他成了西班牙人民心目中雄王和王后也把他当作上宾,封他做海军上将。可是有些贵族瞧不起他,他们用鼻子一哼,说:“哼,这有什么希罕?只要坐船出海,谁都会到那块陆地的。”

00在一次宴会上,哥伦布又听见有人在讥笑他了。“上帝创造世界的时候,不是就创造了海西边的那块陆地了吗?发现,哼,又算得了什么!”哥伦布听了,沉默了好一会儿,忽然从盘子里拿个鸡蛋,站了起来,提出一个古怪的问题:“女士们,先生们,谁能把这个鸡蛋竖起来?”

00鸡蛋从这个人手上传到那个人手上,大家都把鸡蛋扶直了,可是一放手,鸡蛋立刻倒了。最后,鸡蛋回到哥伦布手上,满屋子鸦雀无声,大家都要看他怎样把鸡蛋竖起来。

00哥伦布不慌不忙,把鸡蛋的一头在桌上轻轻一敲,敲破了一点儿壳,鸡蛋就稳稳地直立在桌子上了。

00“这有什么希罕?”宾客们又讥笑起哥伦布来了。

00“本来就没有什么可希罕的,”哥伦布说,“可是你们为什么做不到呢?”

00宾客们一个个强词夺理:“鸡蛋都破了,那算什么呢?”

00哥伦布却继续保持不以为然的态度:“我在刚开始定条件时,曾有说过不允许把鸡蛋敲破?”

Columbus's egg的具体典故是什么啊?

哥伦布立蛋在一次宴会一位客人对哥伦布说:发现了陆有什么了不起,新大陆只不过是客观的存在物,刚巧被你撞上了。”

哥伦布没有同他争论,而是拿出一只鸡蛋让它立在光滑的桌面上。

这位客人试来试去,无论如何也不能把鸡蛋立起来,终于无能为力地住手了。

这时,只见哥伦布拿起鸡蛋猛地往桌面上一磕,下面的蛋壳破了,但鸡蛋稳稳地立在了桌面上。之后,哥伦布说了一句颇富哲理的话:“不破不立也是一种客观存在,但就是有人发现不了!”

启示:

我们当中的许多人不是也成天在抱怨嘲笑别人这也不行,那也不对。而当让他自己去干时,结果他什么也干不了,传统的思维已成为一种定势,让他在自缚的茧中无力自拔。当一种新生事物来临时,他除了嘲笑,怀疑之外便是无动于衷,无能为力。

我查到的,嘿嘿 追问
按你这么说,那请问下面这个句子怎么翻译呢?

To swim in winter, like Columbus' egg, is a hard job,especially at the beginning.
追答
我觉得翻译很好翻译,这样:冬泳就像哥伦布立蛋,是一个困难的事情,尤其在开始。

要说怎么理解,应该是:冬泳就像哥伦布立蛋,在你没有做到之前,大家都觉得做不到,你必须冲破思维定势,坚持下去,最后可以做到大家做不到的事情。 理解有限啊,呵呵
来自:求助得到的回答 你对这个回答的评价是?

 1492年,哥伦布了新大陆。从海上回来成了西班牙心目中的英雄。国王和王后也把他当作上宾,封海军上将。可是有些贵族瞧不起他,他们用鼻子一哼,说:“哼,这有什么稀罕?只要坐船出海,谁都会到那块陆地的。”

  在一次宴会上,哥伦布又听见有人在讥笑他了。“上帝创造世界的时候,不是就创造了海西边的那块陆地了吗?发现,哼,又算得了什么!”哥伦布听了,沉默了好一会儿,忽然从盘子里拿个鸡蛋,站了起来,提出一个古怪的问题:“女士们,先生们,谁能把这个鸡蛋竖起来?”

  鸡蛋从这个人手上传到那个人手上,大家都把鸡蛋扶直了,可是一放手,鸡蛋立刻倒 了。最后,鸡蛋回到哥伦布手上,满屋子鸦雀无声,大家都要看他怎样把鸡蛋竖起来。

  哥伦布不慌不忙,把鸡蛋的一头在桌上轻轻一敲,敲破了一点儿壳,鸡蛋就稳稳地直立在桌子上了。

  “这有什么稀罕?”宾客们又讥笑起哥伦布来了。

  “本来就没有什么可稀罕的,”哥伦布说,“可是你们为什么做不到呢?”

  宾客们一个个强词夺理:“鸡蛋都破了,那算什么呢?”

  哥伦布却继续保持不以为然的态度:“我在刚开始定条件时,曾有说过不允许把鸡蛋敲破?”

  哥伦布离席而去时还留下了一句令人回味的话:“虽然是很简单的游戏,你们却没有一个人会做;知道怎么做之后,大家却都说太简单了!”

  宾客们一时哑口无言。

  有时费尽唇舌,也不如借一个竖鸡蛋一样简单的游戏能轻易化解争执。可谓四两拨千斤,轻轻一挥就能化解敌人的攻势载形。

高一英语阅读一篇

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means rich coast” in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.56. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.57. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and red B. grey and blackC. blue and green D. yellow and orange58. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to school B. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time59. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents decorate their houses 60. This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher Columbus B. Costa Rica C. some products from Costa Rica D. the education of Costa RicaB ★ Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food. Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.61. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better crops C. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them. B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise. D. To make money by selling them.64. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more rice B. eat more meatC. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills65. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn’t like vitaminsC. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germC ★★ America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!66. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an American B. a ChineseC. a professor D. a student67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant69. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsD ★★★ The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: “I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.” “I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.” But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.” I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”. This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success72. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.A. they’ll push you aheadB. they’ll influence you C. they’ll cover your shortcomingsD. they’ll help you achieve your goal73. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.A. improve a lot in making more friendsB. come to the right way of making friends C. develop a better relationship with your friendsD. arrange the time with your friends properly75. The passage is mainly written for ______.A. musicians B. managers C. negative people D. people wanting to succeed 答案56-60 BBACB61-65 ADBDC 66-70 BDCDD 71-75 CBCBD 第三部分: 阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。A ★ Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported. Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater. Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free. Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers. “This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report. He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”. Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.56. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.A. a travel guide B. a newspaper C. a textbook D. a novel57. The crocodile attacked Ms Pethrick when she was ______.A. swimming in the river B. standing on the river bankC. watching the crocodile D. fishing in the water58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Ms Pethrick?A. Her eyes were badly poked. B. She had eight wounds altogether.C. One of her fingers also got hurt. D. One of the crocodile’s teeth was found in her leg.59. According to the passage, Norm Pethrick can be described as following EXCEPT ______.A. brave B. diligent C. quick D. humorous60. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. The husband should save the wifeB. A man saves wife’s life from crocodile’s jawsC. A crocodile is not so dangerous as people imagineD. Human beings can beat crocodiles sometimesB ★★ There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month. Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy. Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.61. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job. B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site. D. The relation between study and work.62. By logging on the Craigslist Web site, you can ______.A. sell your old thingsB. do some shopping onlineC. create your own announcement boardD. get useful information about 450 cities63. “What Color is Your Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.A. work on the airplane B. buy a parachute C. publish a book D. find a suitable job64.

Miller’s company is helping people choose careersD. California Career Services mainly serves university students65. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.C ★★ Teaching materials for learning Chinese are provided here. There are sites where you may find interesting instructions suitable for you. Here are some sites to begin your surfing.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words. However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.71. According to the passage ______. A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round72. Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth. 73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee. C. Quite a lot and quite a few. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.74. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. dull56-60 BBCDB 61-65 ABDCC 66-70 BDCBD 71-75 ABCDA 追问
