Sample Sentences

当然啦，我还知道狭义相对论呢，那个标志性的公式，感觉和牛顿的万有引力定律有点关系。
dāngrán la ，wǒ hái zhīdào xiáyì xiāngduìlùn ne ，nàge biāozhìxìng de gōngshì ，gǎnjué hé Niúdùn de wànyǒuyǐnlì dìnglǜ yǒudiǎnr guānxi 。
Of course, I've even heard of the special theory of relativity, that iconic formula. I think it's got something to do with Newton's law of universal gravitation.

还算有点常识呀你，狭义相对论是爱因斯坦在广义相对论发现前十年制定的，当时已令人震惊地揭示了时间的流逝并非绝对，但与牛顿在1687年所阐述的经典引力定律，在许多方面都不一致。
hái suàn yǒudiǎnr chángshí ya nǐ ，xiáyì xiāngduìlùn shì Àiyīnsītǎn zài guǎngyì xiāngduìlùn fāxiàn qián shínián zhìdìng de ，dāngshí yǐ lìng rén zhènjīng de jiēshì le shíjiān de liúshì bìngfēi juéduì ，dàn yǔ Niúdùn zài 1687 nián suǒ chǎnshù de jīngdiǎn yǐnlì dìnglǜ ，zài xǔduō fāngmiàn dōu bù yīzhì 。
So you do have some general knowledge. Special relativity was defined by Einstein ten years before he came to the theory of general relativity. At that time, he'd already revealed to everyone's surprise that the flow of time was not absolute, but it was also not entirely the same as the classic laws of gravitation which he described in 1687, in many aspects.

不一致啊？还以为爱因斯坦的理论来源是牛顿的经典理论呢，他们有承前启后的关系。
bù yīzhì ā ？hái yǐwéi Àiyīnsītǎn de lǐlùn láiyuán shì Niúdùn de jīngdiǎn lǐlùn ne ，tāmen yǒu chéngqiánqǐhòu de guānxi 。
Not entirely the same? I'd thought that Einstein's theories came from Newton's classic theory, and that Einstein was essentially continuing Newton's work.

没错，为了让自己的公式和牛顿的公式一致，因此爱因斯坦开始着手研究一个新的理论，而解答就是广义相对论，该理论预测了大质量的物体会扭曲周遭的空间，造成附近的物体朝它“坠落”，也就是说，爱因斯坦发现空间是"弧形"的，那也表示即便是光，也会受到重力牵引的影响。

That's right. In order to make his own theory fit with that of Newton's, Einstein began to research a new theory, and the answer to this was the theory of general relativity. This theory predicted that objects with large masses would distort the space surrounding them, making the objects nearby "fall" towards them. That is to say, Einstein discovered that space is curved, which means that even light is affected by gravity.
