1823年,苏格兰有2名橡胶工人,一个叫麦金托什,一个叫列扶丹尼。一天,他俩在一起工作时,不小心碰翻了墙上的半桶橡胶汁,橡胶汁淋到了麦金托什的左肩和列扶丹尼的右肩上。这两位工人家里都比较贫困,很珍惜自己的衣服,他们当时就用手去抹肩上的橡胶汁,试图将其除去,可是,越抹橡胶汁越向旁边延展,覆盖的面积越大,而且粘得越牢实,根本不可能清除干净。路上突然下起了小雨,他们就那样冒雨步行了半个多小时回到家中。 In 1823, there were two rubber workers in Scotland, one called Mackintosh and one called Lieff Danny. One day, when they were working together, they accidentally knocked over half a barrel of rubber juice on the wall. The rubber juice was poured onto the left shoulder of Mackintosh and the right shoulder of Levydane. At home, both workers were very poor and cherished their clothes. At that time, they tried to remove the rubber juice from their shoulders by trying to remove the rubber juice. However, the more the rubber juice extended to the side, the larger the area covered. And sticky more solid, it is impossible to remove clean. Suddenly light rain on the road, they walk in rain like that half an hour back home.
