Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.

One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.”

    Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well—known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students whole—heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.

    One day a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many, many more questions about things than we do? On the contrary(相反)，we students have far more than you.”

    With a smile, the teacher drew two circles—One as large as a big wheel, the other smaller.

“Of course, I’ve learned much more. But a teacher does not necessarily have fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. Within the big one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, the line that marks out the circle is longer. That means I have more chances to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. You will never learn enough, you know.

　　Long ago, there lived a learned man in Greece（希腊）. He was well-known for his wide knowledge. And lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students with all his heart and answered their questions with great patience.

　　One day a student asked him,“My dear teacher, didn't you say you have many more questions than we do? But we think our students have a lot more than you. ”With a smile, the teacher drew two circles（圆圈）----one is as large as a big plate, and the other smaller.
