【新视野大学英语】（第一册）提高创造力的方法(5/7)

Bringing people of different ages and social status together may help you think in new ways. Edwin Land, one of America's most productive inventors, claimed the idea leading to his invention of the Polaroid camera came from his three-year-old daughter. On a visit to Santa Fe in 1943, she asked why she couldn't see the picture he had just taken. During the next hour, as Land walked around Santa Fe, all he had learned about chemistry came together, "The camera and the film became clear to me. In my mind they were so real that I spent several hours describing them." Expand your world.

把不同年龄、不同社会地位的人组合在一起，会促使你用新的方法来思考问题。 美国最具创造力的发明家之一埃德温•兰德说，使他产生发明宝丽来相机这一想法的是他三岁的女儿。1943年在去圣菲游览时，女儿问他，为什么她无法看到他刚刚拍摄的照片。在接下来的一小时里，兰德一边在圣菲游览，一边在脑中汇聚着他学过的所有化学知识。“照相机和胶片对于我变得清晰可见。在我的脑海里，它们如此真实，我用了好几个小时琢磨它们。” 拓展你的视野。
