英语翻译
6."Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof.Drop the barometer,timing its fall with a stopwatch.Then,using the formula S = ½at2,calculate the height of the building."
7.At this point,I asked my colleague if he would give up.He conceded,and I gave the student almost full credit.
8.In leaving my colleague's office,I recalled that the student had said he had other answers to the problem,so I asked him what they were."Oh yes," said the student."There are many ways of getting the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer.For example,you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer,the length of its shadow,and the length of the shadow of the building,and by the use of a simple proportion,determine the height of the building."
9."Fine," I said."And the others?"
10."Yes," said the student."There is a very measurement method that you will like.In this method,you take the barometer and begin to walk up the stairs.As you climb the stairs,you mark off the length of the barometer along the wall.You then count the number of marks,and this will give you the height of the building in barometer units.A very direct method.
11."Of course,if you want a more sophisticated method,you can tie the barometer to the end of a string,swing it as a pendulum and determine the value of g at the street level and at the top of the building.From the difference between the two values of g,the height of the building can,in principle,be calculated."
12.Finally he concluded,there are many other ways of solving the problem."Probably the best," he said,"is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the superintendent's door.When the superintendent answers,you speak to him as follows:'Mr.Superintendent,here I have a fine barometer.If you will tell me the height of this building,I will give you this barometer.' "
13.At this point,I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did,but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructor trying to teach him how to think,to use the "scientific method," and to explore the deep inner logic of the subject in a pedantic way,as is often done in the new mathematics,rather than teaching him the structure of the subject.With this in mind,he decided to revive scholasticism as an academic lark to challenge the Sputnik panicked classrooms of America.

6、把气压计放在大楼的顶端,靠在楼顶的边缘.让气压计向下坠落,用秒表记下它降落的时间.然后用公式S = ½at2计算出大楼的高度.（是物理实验题吧,好像中学的时候也碰到过.）
7、在这一点上,我问我的同事是否将要放弃,他承认了.然后我给了这个学生满分.
8、在离开同事办公室时,我记得这个学生说他还有其它答案,然后我问他答案是什么.学生说,哦,是的.有许多的方法计算出一座楼的高度如果有晴雨表的援助.利用它的影子的长度,以及大楼影子的长度,然后利用简单的比例关系就可以计算大楼的高度.
9、“很好,”我说,还有其他的办法吗?
10、'还有",学生说.有一个你会很喜欢的测量方法.你把测量器带着然后爬楼,当你爬楼梯的时候,你用测量器标记下墙的高度.然后你来数数标记的数量.这将让你得到以气压计为单位的建筑的高度.这是个非常直接的办法.
11、当然了,如果你想要更复杂的方法,你可以把气压计绑在一条绳子的末端,让它作为种摆旋转,然后分别确定水平状态以及在大楼顶部g的价值.从两者g价值的区别来看,从原则上看,大楼的高度就可以算出来了.
12、最后他总结说,还有很多其他的方法来解决这个问题,也许还是最好的,他说,比如把气压计带到地下室然后敲管理者的门,管理员先生,我有个很好的气压计,如果你能告诉我大楼的高度,我就把他送个你.
13、在这时,我问学生他是否是真的不知道这个问题的传统回答,他承认他知道,但他说他厌倦了高中和大学的老师试图想要教他如何用科学的方法进行思考和用专业的方式探讨深层的内在逻辑学.就像在新新数学上那样做的一样,而不是教他的学科的结构.考虑到这一点,他便决定重新搬出中世纪经院哲学作为一个学术的新武器,挑战的美国课堂让人惊慌失措的人造地球卫星的问题.
这个故事我学或者还是大学的时候,记不得了,反正我是读过.翻译倒不难,但是字打得挺费劲的,不过还是希望能够帮到你啊.
