The most widely-known anecdote about Archimedes tells of how he invented a method for determining the volume of an object with an irregular shape.
阿基米德最广为人知的轶事讲述了他是如何发明一种方法来确定不规则形状物体的体积的。
According to Vitruvius, a votive crown for a temple had been made for King Hiero II of Syracuse, who had supplied the pure gold to be used, and Archimedes was asked to determine whether some silver had been substituted by the dishonest goldsmith.
根据维特鲁维乌斯的说法，锡拉丘兹的希罗二世国王为一座寺庙做了一个祭祀用的王冠，希罗二世提供了纯金来打造王冠，后来他要求阿基米德搞清楚爱做手脚的金匠是否用了银代替金。
Archimedes had to solve the problem without damaging the crown, so he could not melt it down into a regularly shaped body to calculate its density.
阿基米德必须在不损坏王冠的情况下解决这个问题，因此他无法将王冠熔化成规则形状的物体来计算它的密度。
While taking a bath, he noticed that the level of the water in the tub rose as he got in, and realized that this effect could be used to determine the volume of the crown.
在洗澡的时候，他注意到浴缸里的水位在他踏入的时候上升了，他意识到这个现象可以用来确定王冠的体积。
Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying "Eureka!" (Greek: "εὕρηκα, heúrēka!", meaning "I have found [it]!")
阿基米德随后赤身裸体跑上街头，他无比兴奋于这一发现，连衣服都忘了穿，大喊着“Eureka!”(希腊语："εὕρηκα, heúrēka!"，意思是“我找到了”!)
