The Important Things in Life
生活中重要的事情
A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches indiameter.
课前,一位哲学教授站在讲台上,他面前的桌子上放了几样东西。上课后,教授什么也没说,他拿起一个又大又空的蛋黄酱罐子,然后往里面放入大概2英寸直径的小石块。
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
然后,他问学生这个罐子是否已经满了?学生们都回答说是。
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
然后教授就拿起一瓶小鹅卵石,然后把石头倒进罐子里,他轻轻地摇了摇罐子。这样小鹅卵石就进到石块的间隙中去。
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
然后,他又问学生这个罐子是否已经满了?学生们都回答说是。
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.
然后教授就拿起一瓶沙子,然后把沙子倒进罐子里,沙子又填充进了间隙中。
