　　原文:The mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.

　　5、物理學(xué)家們說我是數(shù)學(xué)家，數(shù)學(xué)家們又把我歸為物理工作者。我是一個(gè)完全孤立的人，雖然所有人都認(rèn)識(shí)我，卻沒有多少人真正了解我。

　　原文:The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.

　　6、那我只能對親愛的主表示遺憾。相對論是正確的。

　　原文:Then I would have felt sorry for the dear Lord. The theory is correct. - When asked by a student what he would have done if Sir Arthur Eddington's famous 1919 gravitational lensing experiment, which confirmed relativity, had instead disproved it.

　　原文:Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

　　12、不要擔(dān)心數(shù)學(xué)問題;我保證我的問題要大得多。

　　原文:Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

　　13、教育就是當(dāng)一個(gè)人把在學(xué)校所學(xué)全部忘光之後剩下的東西。

　　原文:Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.

　　原文:God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
