When I was in high school our physics teacher gave us a challenge that involved making a paper air plane of any shape. The only objective was to get it to fly as far as possible. I had some paper air plane making skills so I made the best plane I could and it flew pretty far.

當我還在上高中的時候,我們物理老師布置了一項挑戰(zhàn):用一張紙做一架飛機,形狀隨意,目標就是能夠使它肥的越遠越好。我掌握了一定的飛機制作技巧,所以我確信我可以造出最好的飛機也能使它飛到相當遠的距離。

One guy made the greatest, yet simplest paper airplane of all time. He stood there at the starting line with a regular piece of paper. Some classmates scratched their head while silently chuckling to themselves. Moments later he took the flat piece of paper, crumpled it up, and threw it down the hall way.

有個人卻作出了最簡單確是最好的飛機來。他那這一張普通的紙站在起始線上。一些同學輕撓頭低聲笑著,一會之后他拿起那張紙,將它揉成團,扔到走廊那。

He beat the class with ease.

他輕松的打敗了全班同學。

Some of the students got mad and said that he cheated.

一些同學非常惱火直呼他作弊。

The physics teacher said, "How so? I said it could be any shape. A paper ball is indeed a shape."

但是物理老師卻說:“那又怎樣,我說過飛機可以是任何形狀。紙球顯然也是一個形狀。”

I still regard this classmate as a genius.

我一直將這個同學視作天才。

There used to be a ECE professor next door few years back,

幾年前有一位電子工程教授住在我家隔壁。

We used to live in a neighborhood with too many houses in a streak, Cable man goes to every house for bill connection, except our neighbor's

我們過去住的地方,一道有許多鄰居。電纜工人會到每一家收取有線電視費,除了我家鄰居。

They never paid for cable connection, I was very young to understand what he was saying , but it said something like this,

他們從沒繳納有線電視費,我那會還小不懂他在說什么,但意思大概是這樣的:

Beta, Signals are ever where, it's you who capture them and use them in the way you want.

貝塔,信號隨處都有,這要看你如何抓住它們利用它們。

He constructed an antenna that captured signals from cable wires , and that gave them access to all channels

他搭起了一個天線來接收電纜信號,他們也因此可以收到很多頻道。

Now this was almost 15 years back, dish TVs are recently introduced but him using the antenna for cable connection is something I cannot design even today.

這發(fā)生在十五年前,那會衛(wèi)星電視還沒普及,他就已經(jīng)能夠搭天線接收信號,就算現(xiàn)在的我也辦不到。

Note:- I am not ece student to exactly understand what was done but as a 9 year old kid, that was the most intelligent thing I ever saw.

我不是一位電子工程學生并沒有完全理解原理,但是對于一個九歲的孩子來說,這是我見過的最機智的一位
