Archimedes and the golden crown课文译文
One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it. 古希腊的一天，海尔罗国王请一位制作皇冠的人给他制作一顶金皇冠。起初，他对皇冠感到非常高兴。 “It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth. “这是一个很漂亮的皇冠，不是吗？”他问仆人。然而后来他开始怀疑皇冠是否是一顶真的金皇冠。“这真是纯金的吗？”他纳闷着。他把皇冠送到了阿基米德那里，叫他搞清楚真相。 “This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. “这个问题似乎很难解决。我该怎么办？”阿基米德想。 Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over. 当阿基米德往浴池里倒水的时候他仍然思考着这个难题。当他进入浴池时，一些水溢了出来。 “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!” “就是如此”阿基米德喊道，“我知道如何解决国外的难题了！” Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. 阿基米德直接去到了宫殿觐见国王。首先，他称了皇冠，然后像国王要了同等重量的金子。 Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl. 接着，他放了两个罐子到两个大碗里，然后把罐子注满了水。他把金子放入其中一个罐，一些水跑到了碗里。然后他把皇冠放入另一个罐。这一次，更多的水跑到了碗里。 “Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.” “快看”阿基米德对国王说道。“一个完全由金子制作的皇冠比一个由金子和其他金属制作的皇冠要取代更少的水。这顶皇冠比同等质量的金子取代更多的水，所以我确定这不是纯金的。 “The crown maker tricked me , didn’t he? What a bad man he is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison. “金匠骗了我，对不对？这个大坏人！”海尔罗国王喊道。然后他把金匠投入了监狱
