所有人都应该可以阅读世界上的著作,不管是厚重的(莎士比亚,“白鲸记”,圆周率记录到小数点后一百万位),还是轻便的(彼得潘,夏洛克·福尔摩斯,“爱经”)。
2·You expect your child to know as many digits of PI as their age.
你希望你的孩子能记住的圆周率位数越多越好。
3·I wanted to choose 3, 7, 22 or 227 because they are used when estimating PI, but some other students must have had the same idea.
我想选3、7、22或227,因为在估计圆周率时要用到它们,但其他一些学生肯定有同样的想法。
4·Mathematics enthusiasts will this weekend be celebrating Pi day, which falls on 14 March in honour of the famous ratio's first few digits, 3.14.
数学迷们将在本周末庆祝他们的圆周率日,这一天之所以落到3月14号是为了纪念这个这个著名比例的头几位:3.14。
5·He used a computer, but you can also calculate pi at home with some needles and a sheet of lined paper.
当然,贝拉德要求助于电脑,不过你也可以用最简单的办法在自家客厅计算圆周率,所用材料只是几根针和一张横格纸。
