2、letely of gold?” hewondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.“这是一个很漂亮的皇冠,不是吗?”他问仆人.然而后来他开始怀疑皇冠是否是一顶真的金皇冠.“这真是纯金的吗?”他纳闷着.他把皇冠送到了阿基米德那里,叫他搞清楚真相.“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes. “这个问题似乎很难解决.我该怎么办?”阿基米德想.Archimedes was still thin

This crowndisplaced more water

6、 than gold of the same weight, so Im certain that its not completely made of gold.” “快看”阿基米德对国王说道.“一个完全由金子制作的皇冠比一个由金子和其他金属制作的皇冠要取代更少的水.这顶皇冠比同等质量的金子取代更多的水,所以我确定这不是纯金的.“The crown maker tricked me , didnt he?
