After graduating in 1665, Newton planned to study for a master's degree, but the university was closed due to an outbreak of the plague. He returned to his home village for 18 months, during which time he did most of the thinking that led to his later work on gravitation and optics. This was also when the apple incident is said to have occurred. Newton's first biographer claimed he heard the story from the man himself.
1665年牛頓從大學畢業(yè)后，打算攻讀碩士學位，但大學卻由于鼠疫的爆發(fā)而關閉。他回到家鄉(xiāng)呆了18個月，他以后在萬有引力與光學方面的研究大部分是在這個時期蘊釀構思完成的。據說著名的“蘋果事件”也是在這段時期發(fā)生的。第一個撰寫牛頓傳記的作家聲稱他是從牛頓本人口中聽到這個故事的。
