用一張紙做一架飛機，形狀隨意

When I was in high school our physics teacher gave us a challenge that involved making a paper air plane of any shape.

當我還在上高中的時候，我們物理老師布置了一項挑戰(zhàn)：用一張紙做一架飛機，形狀隨意。

The only objective was to get it to fly as far as possible. I had some paper air plane making skills so I made the best plane I could and it flew pretty far.

目標就是能夠使它肥的越遠越好。我掌握了一定的飛機制作技巧，所以我確信我可以造出最好的飛機也能使它飛到相當遠的距離。

One guy made the greatest, yet simplest paper airplane of all time. He stood there at the starting line with a regular piece of paper. Some classmates scratched their head while silently chuckling to themselves. Moments later he took the flat piece of paper, crumpled it up, and threw it down the hall way.

有個人卻作出了最簡單確是最好的飛機來。他拿著一張普通的紙站在起始線上。一些同學輕撓頭低聲笑著，一會之后他拿起那張紙，將它揉成團，扔到走廊那。

He beat the class with ease.

他輕松的打敗了全班同學。

Some of the students got mad and said that he cheated.

一些同學非常惱火直呼他作弊。

The physics teacher said, "How so? I said it could be any shape. A paper ball is indeed a shape."

但是物理老師卻說：“那又怎樣，我說過飛機可以是任何形狀。紙球顯然也是一個形狀。”

I still regard this classmate as a genius.

我一直將這個同學視作天才。
