“It's a nice crown, isn't it?” he asked his men.

“Is it made completely of gold?” he wondered.
“这确定是纯金的吗?”他纳闷着。
He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.
他把皇冠送到了阿基米德那里,叫他搞清楚*。
“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes.

“That's it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king's problem!”
