序言

HAVE you ever wondered what size of shoes did the first man to walk on the moon wear? Or who the first person to wear a bikini in public was? Or what animal has the highest blood pressure? Or who invented the flushing toilet? Who created the crossword puzzle?

你有没有想过第一个在月球上行走的人穿多大尺码的鞋？或者谁是第一个在公共场合穿比基尼的人？或者哪种动物的血压最高？或者谁发明了冲水马桶？谁创造了纵横填字游戏？

This ebook, which I call TRIVIAMANIA, is a fascinating cocktail of interesting facts and bizarre trivia.

我称本书为《冷知识大全》，书中荟萃了奇闻逸事和冷门知识。

From the technical term of pregnancy to the first Apollo mission to carry a color television camera on the moon to the name of Julius Caesar's sword to Superman's pet monkey to Toblerone chocolate bar to the number of teeth a mosquito has to the middle name of Donald Duck, this ebook contains rarely found bits of general knowledge and tantalizing facts you never thought anyone would know.

从怀孕术语到阿波罗飞船首次在月球上搭载彩色电视摄像机的任务，从朱利叶斯·恺撒的宝剑名称到超人的宠物猴，从瑞士三角巧克力到蚊子的牙齿数量，再到唐老鸭的中间名，本书介绍了少为人知的常识和扣人心弦的轶事。

This ebook covers a wide range of subjects arranged in no particular pattern to induce variety for light reading purposes and versatility for the mind as a reviewer. It aims to benefit students, lecturers, trivia buffs and other learning curiosers.

本书谈古论今，别出心裁，耐人寻味，既可以闲来无事随手翻阅，又适合静下心来认真精读。本书旨在造福学生、讲师、冷门知识爱好者和好学不倦的读者。

Overall, this ebook is not only informative and educational, but is also a useful reference at home, school of office alike--an invaluable addition to your collections of ebooks, guaranteed!

总的来说，本书寓教于乐，令人增长见闻，适合居家、在校或办公参阅。毫无疑问，收藏本书可谓物超所值！

This ebook was a pleasure for me to write. So I hope -- and am amply sure -- that it will be a pleasure as well for you to read.

就我而言，创作本书令我乐在其中。我衷心希望且十分确信，读者阅读本书也会感到身心愉悦。
