Andy Dent的回答：

Trying to see if my daughter, maybe 4 or 5, was a pessimist or an optimist, I poured a half-glass of water and asked her: "Would you say that was half-full or half-empty?"

在女兒四五歲的時候，為了測試她是悲觀還是樂觀主義者，我倒了半杯水，問她：“你覺得這杯子是半滿呢還是半空呢？”

Her response: "That depends if you're drinking it or filling it."

她回答：“這就要看你是要喝水還是倒水了?！?/p>

She is now grown up, teaching primary school and utterly adored by the kids she teaches.

她現(xiàn)在長大了，在小學(xué)教書，深受學(xué)生們愛戴。

This happened when I was teaching fractions to a kid at an NGO:

我在一個非政府組織教一個孩子分?jǐn)?shù)的時候，發(fā)生了這么一件事：

I asked him: "How do you serve 3 apples to 4 people?" (expecting the answer of 3/4 apples per person) After a brief pause, the kid replied: "I'll make apple juice and serve one glass to each." Even though it was not the answer I was looking for, I was impressed.

我問他：“3個蘋果要怎么分給4個人呢？”（我以為他會回答分給每人3/4個）
他想了想，很快答道：“我會把蘋果榨成汁，然后每人分一杯?！?
這雖然不是我希望得到的答案，但給我留下了深刻的印象。

P.S. I applied the kid's approach to solve a tough programming task later in the day.

那一天晚些時候，我用這個孩子的方法解決了一個棘手的編程問題。

My daughter at 7, was looking introspectively at the mirror. I asked her what she was thinking and she said, "My brain is so weird—it wants to think about me me me all the time, like I am the center of the Universe or something!. Mummy, Daddy has that ever happened to you?"

一天，我7歲的女兒若有所思地站在鏡子前。我問她在想什么，她說：“我的腦子好奇怪啊——它總是在想著‘我我我’，就好像我是宇宙的中心或什么的！爸爸媽媽，你們也會這樣嗎？”

I asked a 5 year old kid to recite the multiplication table of 8. He recited it like this:

我曾讓一個5歲的孩子背8的乘法表。他是這樣背的：

8 1's are 8
8 2's are 16
8 4's are 32
8 9's are 72
8 7's are 56
...

一八得八
二八十六
四八三十二
九八七十二
七八五十六
……

I suggested to him that he didn't know what came after 2 or 3, since he had recited so randomly.

見他不按順序背，我問他是不是不知道2或者3后面是什么。

Then he replied: "I did this way so that you may not feel that I am adding up, everyone says that I add up."

他回答：“我這樣背你可能就不會覺得我只是在單純地累加了，每個人都說我只是在做加法。”

Driving around with my preschool age son, I would occasionally point out a particularly attractive woman and he would remind me that I was married. One time when I replied that just because I had ordered didn't mean I couldn't still look at the menu, he took time to consider that logic and after a while pointed out: "Dad... after you order, they take the menu away."

開車帶我還沒上小學(xué)的兒子到處逛，我時不時會指著某個大美女點評一番，兒子就會提醒我我已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了。有一次我反駁說，即使點完菜我也還是可以看菜單啊，他就這一邏輯思索了一會兒，然后說：“爸爸……點完菜菜單就會被收走了呀?！?/p>

A physicist I met once told me he asked his 6 year old son to imagine standing on top of a big ball in outer space. Then, he told his son, he looks over the edge, and there is a person on the other side of the ball, upside down, with feet on the bottom of the ball. He asked his son: "will that upside-down person fall off the ball?" His son thought about it, and said: "If the other person looks at me, he sees my feet, and I'm upside down to him. I'm not falling off, so he doesn't fall off."

有一次我遇見了一位物理學(xué)家，他跟我說他曾經(jīng)讓6歲的兒子想象自己站在外太空一個巨大的球上。接著，他告訴他兒子，向著球體邊緣的方向看過去，能看到一個人頭朝下腳朝上，站在球的另一端。他問：“那個人會掉下去嗎？”兒子想了想，回答道：“如果那個人看到我，他會看見我的腳，那我對他來說一樣也是腳朝上、頭朝下的了。既然我不會掉下去，那么他也不會掉下去?！?/p>

My mother's friend's kid, 5 y.o., was in a religion class once (coming from a Catholic country). The priest was giving a lesson on what 'Sin' was. At the end of the class there was a recap. The priest asked: "So, what prevents us from going to Heaven?"

我母親朋友的孩子5歲時，在一個宗教班上課（他們來自一個天主教國家）。當(dāng)時牧師講課的內(nèi)容是“何謂‘罪惡’”。課程結(jié)束時要做一個要點回顧，牧師問：“那么，是什么阻擋我們上天堂呢？”

"Gravity" was the answer given by the five year old.

“重力！”那個五歲的小朋友這樣回答。
