A note written by Albert Einstein in 1921 to an Italian scientist who had refused to meet him has sold for USD 6,100 at an auction in Jerusalem.

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦于1921年写给一位拒绝与他会面的意大利科学家的一张字条,于日前在耶路撒冷拍卖会上以6100美元的价格卖出。
The Nobel-winning scientist, then 42, wrote to Elisabetta Piccini, a 22-year-old chemistry student.
这位获得诺贝尔奖的科学家,当时42岁,是给22岁的化学学生伊丽莎白·皮奇尼写的信。
Ms Piccini lived one floor above his sister, Maja, in Florence.
皮奇尼女士当时住在佛罗伦萨,而恰好是在爱因斯坦姐姐玛雅的楼上。
"Einstein was very interested in meeting her. But Ms Piccini was too shy to meet with such a famous person," Winner's auction house said.
赢家拍卖行表示:“爱因斯坦非常有兴趣和她见面,但皮奇尼太害羞了,不敢与这样一位有名的人见面。”

In the letter written in his native German, Einstein uses an idiom signalling affection.

在这封用爱因斯坦的母语德语写的信中,他用俚语表达了自己的感情。
"To the scientific researcher, at whose feet I slept and sat for two full days, as a friendly souvenir," the note to Ms Piccini said.
“一份友善的纪念礼物,献给这位科学研究者。我看到你后为之倾倒,已经在这里静候了整整两日。”给皮奇尼女士的该字条上这样写道。
"You know nowadays the 'Me Too' campaign? Probably Einstein would have been in this campaign by leaving such a note to this lady," Gal Wiener, chief executive of Winner's, told the Associated Press news agency.
赢家拍卖行首席执行官加尔·维纳向美联社透露:“你知道现在的'我也是'运动吗?可能爱因斯坦也会参加这个活动,为这位女士留下这张字条。”
