Question

imagination n.想象；想象力；空想；幻想 (1) 那是我想象不到的。(2) 想象使人从单调无聊的生活中解脱出来。(3) 这些计划显得毫无想象力。(4) 图形能促进一个人的想象力。(5) 你并没有真地看见鬼，这仅仅是幻象。 Often shunned for living in a dream world, imagination is behind unicorns, Big Foot, and excessive daydreaming. But it’s humans’ ability to picture what is not there, and to be resourceful and creative, that is behind many of our achievements. Maybe that’s why Albert Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” After all, without a little imagination, we wouldn’t have the pyramids, the space shuttles, or the Star Wars trilogy.
