聽老師上課到期中了,突然老師講了一句:
if tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it?
到底是否有其他意思?

背後是有個哲學意思的。無人觀察到,是否存在?這類哲學問題。
全句是 If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? 「假如一棵樹在森林裡倒下而沒有人在附近聽見,它有沒有發出聲音?」
It briefly means that, when something happens, and there is no effect on anyone, then it is hard to say the event has ever happened or has any meaning. 沒有任何效果的事情, 是否要肯定它曾發生過?
