Compares schoolmate's invitation letter, this letter from Professor Kelvin brings a bigger psychology to fluctuate to him. 拉曼从心底不相信,他将薄薄的信纸翻来覆去的看了又看,试图找出更多的疑点来。相比同学的邀请来信,这份来自开尔文教授的信件给他带来更大的心理波动。 Such famous great person is impossible to crack a joke, then definitely some people are making fun of themselves, Raman feels immediately very indignant. He as an Indian, the pitiful creature who crawled from the floor of low surname, the life has sufficed to trouble, unexpectedly some people played this bad joke to him. 这么有名的大人物不可能开玩笑,那么肯定是有人在捉弄自己,拉曼顿时感到很气愤。他作为一个印度人,一个从低种姓的底层爬上来的可怜虫,生活已经够多麻烦了,居然有人给他开这种恶劣的玩笑。 Raman wants to curse at people very much, or must teach the fellow who plays this practical joke well, he noticed that on the letter paper gave the telephone similarly, does not attend to now is late at night, has dialed immediately. 拉曼很想骂人,或者说要好好教训搞这种恶作剧的家伙,他看到信纸上同样留了电话,也不顾现在已经是深夜,立刻就拨了过去。 The telephone has put through actually quickly, opposite has a female voice saying: „Hello, here is Professor Kelvin of Columbia University medical center the laboratory, whom do you look for?” 电话倒是很快接通了,对面有个女声说道:“您好,这里是哥伦比亚大学医学中心的开尔文教授实验室,请问您找谁？” One string of big on laboratory name Raman of ablazing with anger deterring, him a little shrank the egg immediately, that child anger vanishes without the trace at heart, makes excuses quite a while said: „Hello, such late some have your people also been working?” 一串高大上的实验室名称把怒气冲冲的拉曼给震慑住了,他当即有点缩卵,心里那点子火气消失无踪,支支吾吾半天才说道:“您好,这么晚了你们还有人在工作？” „Ha......, Yes!

The appointment meets, what's all this about? Really is the letter that Professor Kelvin writes? ” “有……,有的。”拉曼有点蒙。预约见面,这是怎么回事？难道说真的是开尔文教授写的信？” „That such has decided that what issues do you have other?” The wiring female voice also asked. “那就这么定了,您还有其他什么问题吗？”接线女声又问道。 „Does not have......, Did not have.
