[J-28]   Praying for Bacteria

      为细菌祈祷 

 

   Pasteur, the famous bacteriologist, was bending over a microscope when a student stepped into his lab.  Seeing him bending his head low, the student withdrew immediately.

 

   “What is it ?” questioned the scientist.

   “I didn't want to disturb you.  I thought you were praying.”  The student replied politely.

   “I was.  I was praying for all wonders of nature, including the bacteria.” 

 

[译注] 

 

    巴斯特,这位有名的细菌专家,正弯着身子在显微镜上方。当一个学生步入他的实验室时,看见他把头弯得低低地,那学生立刻走回头。

 

    「什么事嘛?」这科学家问了。

    「我不要打扰你。我想你是在祷告。」那学生有礼貌地回答。

    「我是的,我是在为所有自然的奇妙而祷告,包括那些细菌。」 

 

注:bacteriologist (细菌学家), microscope (显微镜), withdraw, withdrew (撤退、走回头), disturb (打扰), wonder (奇妙之事物)。
