At university I once asked one of my lecturers why he was not talking to us about continental drift and I was told , sneeringly , that if I could I prove there was a force that could move continents , then he might think about it .

在大学的时候，我曾问过某位导师，为什么他不给我们讲讲大陆漂移说，结果他轻蔑地告诉我说，如果我能够证明，可以推动大陆运动的一股力量的确存在，那么他就会考虑考虑上述建议。
