名人轶事：爱因斯坦的旧大衣

One day Albert Einstein met an old friend of his on a street in New York. “Mr. Einstein,” said the friend, “it seems that you need to put on a new overcoat. Look, how worn-out it is!” “ It doesn’t matter,” answered Albert Einstein. “No one knows me here in New York.” 
Several years later they met in New York again. Einstein had been a world-famous physicist, but he still wore the same old overcoat. His friend persuaded him to buy a new one once more. “There is no need now,” said Einstein, “Everybody here has known me.”
