人物介绍（Introducing Somebody）
美文欣赏
Although Princeton, New Jersey, has a world-famous 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. 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, 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. 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”、“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。
