爱因斯坦癖好大公开:狂爱吃鸡蛋

2016-04-29来源:每日电讯报
But he didn't want to eat 'bloody' steak
但他不吃“带血的”牛排

He would only eat steak if it was very well done. He would always say: "I am not a tiger". Einstein didn't like having his private remarks published and later wrote, "it never occurred to me that every casual remark of mine would be snatched up and recorded. Otherwise I would have crept further into my shell."
牛排只有烤得非常熟他才会吃。他总是说:“我又不是老虎。”爱因斯坦不喜欢他的个人言论被出版,后来他写道:“我从来没想过我每句不经意的言论都会被捕捉并记录下来。否则的话,我就会爬进壳里安静地待着了。”

And he hated English cooking
他讨厌英式烹饪

Einstein visited England in 1933 but wasn't much impressed with our cuisine, saying of English cooking, "it's ghastly, they cook everything with mutton fat". But give him a strawberry and he was content. Einstein was "passionately fond of strawberries" - he liked a strawberry dish served with whipped cream, together with what he called "strawberry snow".
爱因斯坦1933年到访过英国,但却对那里的食物不怎么感兴趣,他说英式烹饪“可怕,所有的食物都是羊脂油做的”。但是给他一个草莓他就会很开心。爱因斯坦“狂热地喜欢草莓”,他还喜欢草莓上加生奶油,他管这道菜叫“草莓积雪”。

He hardly drank alcohol
他不怎么喝酒

Einstein only drank caffeine-free coffee called Kaffee Haag and black tea. The inveterate pipe smoker didn't drink much alcohol but like celery punch. Just imagine, celery punch!
爱因斯坦只喝一种叫做Kaffee Haag的脱咖啡因咖啡和红茶。老烟枪爱因斯坦不怎么喝酒,但喜欢喝芹菜汁。你能想象得到吗?芹菜汁!

He had a toy telescope on his desk
他桌上有架小望远镜

Waldow recalled that next to his desk Einstein kept a telescope for observing the stars. "It was a kind of school telescope mounted on a tripod," she said.
沃尔多回忆,爱因斯坦在桌子旁边放了架望远镜,用来看星星。“那是一个学生用的望远镜,架在三脚架上,”她说。
