THE SKELETON¹ OF SUCCESS

成功人士

When he didn't become famous, Einstein lived a hard life, wearing casually². Someone

reminded him he should have a decent³ coat so as to enter the society. He said, “I'm unknown.

Even if I wear more handsomely, no one will know me.”

A few years later, Einstein became a world famous scientist, who still wore casually. The

man again reminded he should have a coat done quickly, or it would disagree with the fame of a

great scientist. Einstein said with a smile, “Now, even if I wear in ragged⁴ clothes, people will

know me.”

Sometimes, he even wore a sports shirt and a pair of sandals to the University of Berlin. His

friends didn't approve of him, but he said jokingly, “If the bag is better than the meat inside, it will

be a bad thing.”

爱因斯坦成名之前，生活拮据，穿着随意。有人提醒他要想步入社会，先要着装体

面。他说：“我又不是名人，即便衣着光鲜，也没人认识我。”

几年以后，爱因斯坦成了举世闻名的科学家，可他依然一身休闲打扮。那个人又来提

醒他应该尽快找人做身衣裳，否则与伟大科学家的名气不符。爱因斯坦笑着说：“如今，就

算我破衣烂衫，人们也还是认识我。”

有时候，他甚至就穿着运动衫和凉鞋径直走进柏林大学。朋友们看不惯，可他却开玩

笑说：“如果皮囊比包在里面的肉还光鲜，那可就糟了。”
