任何喜欢这类东西的人都应该去看看利特尔伍德（Littlewood）的《一个数学家的杂集》（A Mathematicians Miscellany）[1]。这是一本极其好玩的数学趣闻杂集。它不仅涵盖了“凯撒的最后一口气”这个话题，还探讨了极低概率事件的发生几率，比如在一趟漫长的火车旅途中一根竖立的鼓槌竟然没有倒下。[1] http://www.archive.org/details/mathematiciansmi033496mbp
Anyone liking this sort of thing should have a look at A Mathematicians Miscellany by Littlewood [1]. It is an exceptionally enjoyable collection of mathematical anecdotes and some such. It covers Caesar's Last Breath topic, but it also goes over the probabilities of highly unlikely events such as an upright drumstick not falling over during a long train ride.

去看看 Sam Kean 的《凯撒的最后一口气：揭开我们周围空气的秘密》（Caesar's Last Breath: Decoding the Secrets of the Air Around Us）吧。还有篇读起来没那么有意思的文章，是关于你每次呼吸会吸进多少个碧昂丝呼出的分子的。https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/12/beyonce-breath_n_6...
Check out Caesar's Last Breath: Decoding the Secrets of the Air Around Us by Sam Kean. Far less interesting a read, an article about how many molecules of Beyonce's breath you inhale with each breath. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/12/beyonce-breath_n_6...
