西洋妙语：牛顿说被砸是必然的(图)

　　One afternoon, Newton dozed off while sitting under a tree. From what I can see, it's a knock-on certainty he is about to be awakened by a falling apple. "Yes, but when I have recovered from the shock, it's a knock-on certainty I will write a scientific paper about gravity ," Newton mumbled. This British idiom says that something will positively happen.

　　一天下午，牛顿坐在树下打盹。在我们看来，他必然会被树上掉下来的苹果砸醒。“的确，但是当我从被砸的惊吓中恢复过来，写下有关地心引力的科学论文也是必然发生的事情，”牛顿说。“一件事会百分之百的发生”，这个英语俚语就是说得这个意思。
