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.

    Suppose the year is 1666 and we can see a student called Isaac Newton. He’s away from his university for a holiday and at home with his family. Isaac Newton continues to study at home. He enjoys physics and thinking about the mysteries of the world.

    On a day there is rain and sun at the same time, so he sees a beautiful rainbow( 彩虹 )in the sky. It has many different colors. He is told that there are five. Newton wants to have his own rainbow because he wants to look at it closely. He decides to do an experiment. On a sunny day he goes inside a small room and makes the room very dark. Then he makes a small hole and the sun comes inside; it’s a small ray of light. It’s white. Newton takes a prism( 棱镜 ) and holds it up to the light. The ray of light goes through the prism, but it isn’t white now---there are many colors. The prism has split up ( 分解 ) the white into different colors: Newton has a rainbow.

    Newton looks at his rainbow carefully. He can see more than five colors, and he can see seven. He says the colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

    But Newton is a scientist and he’s always very interested in how things work.  He has his rainbow but he wants to know more. So he takes another prism and holds it up to the rainbow. The rainbow goes through the second prism, but it isn’t colorful now---it’s white again. The prism has joined up the colors back into white light. Newton is the first person to understand that light is a combination ( 结合 ) of all the rainbow colors together.
