阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在东京时曾经给一个邮递员写过一个字条，简要描述了他的幸福生活理论。95年后的今天，这一字条对外公布，并将在耶路撒冷拍卖。
A note that Albert Einstein gave to a courier in Tokyo, briefly describing his theory on happy living, has surfaced after 95 years and is up for auction in Jerusalem.
那是在1922年，这位于德国出生的、以他的相对论而出名的物理学家，当时正在日本做巡回讲座。
The year was 1922, and the German-born physicist, most famous for his theory of relativity, was on a lecture tour in Japan.
在那之前不久，爱因斯坦被告知将获得诺贝尔物理学奖，而他在科学圈外的名气正与日俱增。
He had recently been informed that he was to receive the Nobel Prize for physics, and his fame outside of scientific circles was growing.
一位日本邮递员到东京帝国酒店给爱因斯坦送信。这位邮递员按本地惯例谢绝了小费，也可能是爱因斯坦手边没有零钱。
A Japanese courier arrived at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo to deliver Einstein a message. The courier either refused to accept a tip, in line with local practice, or Einstein had no small change available.
字条的卖家，同时也是那位邮递员的亲戚介绍称，不管当时是哪种情况，爱因斯坦不想让邮递员空手离去，所以他就用德文手写了两张字条。
Either way, Einstein didn't want the messenger to leave empty-handed, so he wrote him two notes by hand in German, according to the seller, a relative of the messenger.
这位卖家称，爱因斯坦对邮递员说，“如果你幸运的话，这些字条可能会比寻常小费有价值得多。”
"Maybe if you're lucky those notes will become much more valuable than just a regular tip," Einstein told the messenger, according to the seller.
其中一句话是写在一张东京帝国酒店便签纸上的：“平静、朴素的生活带来的快乐，要比追逐成功、永无安宁的生活带来的快乐更多。”
One note, on the stationary of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, says that "a quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest."
另外一句话写在一张空白纸上：“有志者事竟成。”
The other, on a blank piece of paper, simply reads: "where there's a will, there's a way."
耶路撒冷希伯来大学的档案保管员罗尼·格罗茨掌管着全世界最大的爱因斯坦藏品。他表示，无法确定这些字条是否反映了爱因斯坦对自己与日俱增名气的反思。
It is impossible to determine if the notes were a reflection of Einstein's own musings on his growing fame, said Roni Grosz, the archivist in charge of the world's largest Einstein collection, at Jerusalem's Hebrew University.
