英语翻译
Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
"In my opinion," the first man said,"the Egyptian pyramids(埃及金字塔)are the world's greatest wonder.Although they were built thousands of years ago,they are still standing.And remember:the people who built them had only simple tools.They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today."
"I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful," the second man said,"but I do not think they are the greatest wonder.I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids.They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely.In seconds,they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do."
He turned to the third man and asked,"What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?"
The third man thought for a long time,and then he said,"Well,I agree that the pyramids are wonderful,and I agree that computers are wonderful,too.However,in my opinion,the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos." And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised."A thermos?" they exclaimed."But that's a simple thing."
"Oh,no,it's not,"the third man said."In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot.In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold.How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer?"(271 words)

我来补答
三个人一边乘火车旅行一边讨论什么是世界上最伟大的建筑奇迹.
第一个人说了,依我看来,埃及的金字塔群是世界上最伟大的奇迹.虽然它们在千年以前就建好了,但是它们依然屹立在那里.记住,建金字塔的时候他们只有简单的工具,也没有现在优秀的建筑工人和工程师,但是他们依然能够建造这么宏伟的建筑.
第二个人说,我承认金字塔是伟大的奇迹,但是我认为它并不是最伟大的奇迹.我认为电脑比金子塔更伟大.它可以让人类飞上月球也可以把他们顺利地送回来.它也可以进行数学计算而这些计算让一个人做的话则需要花上一百年的时间.他对着第三个人问道,你认为什么是世界上最伟大的奇迹?
第三个人想了一会,说道.恩,对的金字塔也好,计算机也好,都很不错,但是我想世界上最伟大的奇迹应该是热水瓶.他一边说着一边从背包里拿出一个热水瓶.
什么?另外两个人说,可是热水瓶只是个简单的生活用品而已啊!
不是不是,第三个人看着他们说,你看,冬天的时候,你把热水放进瓶中,它可以保温,夏天的时候,你把凉水放进去,它可以用来冷藏.你说,热水瓶怎么会知道是冬天还是夏天的?
这个阅读也不难不需要翻译,好好看就知道了.
THERMOS 是热水瓶(暖壶)的意思,可以通过后文猜出来.
