A
After having put his famous theory (理论) forward, Albert Einstein would tour and give lectures in many universities in the United States. He always traveled with his driver, Harry, who would go to each of these lectures while seated in the back row!
One day, after Einstein had finished a lecture and was coming out of the lecture hall into his car, Harry said, “Professor Einstein, I've heard your lecture so many times. If I were ever given a chance, I would be able to give a lecture myself.”
“Very well，” replied Einstein, “I'm going to Dartmouth College next week. They don't know me. You can give the lecture as Einstein, and I'll be Harry！”
So Harry gave the lecture in Dartmouth College the next week while Einstein sat in the back row playing “driver” as Harry did before and having a short sleep. And people found nothing wrong about the lecture.
Just as Harry was walking down from the podium (讲台), however, one of the listeners asked him a question about the theory on relativity (相对论). That was a difficult one. Harry replied to the listener, “The answer to this question is very simple! In fact, it's so simple that I'm going to let my driver answer it！”
