Saving Lives
At a pre-med university in St. Louis, we had to take a difficult class in physics. One day the professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. A student rudely interrupted to ask Why do we have to learn this stuff?
To save lives. The professor responded quickly and continued the lecture. A few minutes later, the same student spoke1 up again. So how does physics save lives? he persisted. It usually keeps the idiots like you out of medical school, replied the professor.

为了救人。教授非常快回答,继续讲课。几分钟后,那个学生第三大声坚持:那样物理如何救人呢?教授回答:它一般可以把你这种笨蛋赶出医学院。
