Someone reminded him he should have a decent(得體的) coat so as to enter the society. He said, I39。m unknown. Even if I wear more handsomely, no one will know me. A few years later, Einstein became a worldfamous scientist, who still wore casually. The man again reminded he should have a coat made quickly, or it would disagree with the fame of a great scientist. Einstein said with a smile, Now, even if I wear ragged(衣衫襤褸的)clothes, people will know me. Sometimes, he even wore a sports shirt and a pair of sandals to the University of Berlin when he worked as a professor in Germany. His friends didn39。t agree with him, but he said jokingly, If the bag is better than the meat inside, it will be a bad thing. Indeed, many a time, if we don39。t adorn(修飾。裝飾) ourselves from the appearance but let the skeleton(骨架。骨骼) of the spirit stand up, we won39。t fall over in this world.(1)Einstein was a great__________.
