Although is 70 years old, but from this old person actually could not see that old person some are too steady. Posture that walks, walks the custom of taking a look at right looks, seems like a 16 or 17-year-old child. 虽然已是七十多岁高龄,但从这位老人身上却看不到太多老人该有的稳重。无论是走路的姿势,还是走瞅右看的习惯,反倒像是个十六七岁的小孩。 However thinks is also, Jiang Chen self-examined, if changed itself to do for dozens years on the wheelchair, said that does not permit more active than him. 不过想想也是,江晨自问,要是换自己在轮椅上做了几十年,说不准会比他更好动。 In Jiang Chen is sizing up this old person's back, Hawking has turned the head, looked with its slightly funny face to him, teased in a tone with said. 就在江晨打量着这位老人的背影时,霍金转过头,用它那张略显滑稽的面孔看向了他,语带调侃地说道。 „Then Mr. Executive Officer, has the words of what issue to ask as soon as possible. You are one. several seconds 100,000 high and low great people, should not have too much time waste to be right in the campus.” “那么执行官先生,有什么问题的话还是尽快问吧。你可是一秒钟几十万上下的大人物,应该没太多时间浪费在校园里才对。” Jiang Chen smiles impartially, after hesitating the moment, opens the mouth to ask. 江晨不置可否地笑了笑,沉吟了片刻后,开口问道。 „3.7 billion year ago, you said that if really had civilization to have the 3.7 billion year is so long, what appearance they will develop?” “三十七亿年前,你说如果真有文明存在了三十七亿年那么久,他们会发展成个什么样子？” „This issue is very interesting, you thought that to dinosaur 100 million year, what appearance will they develop?” Hawking does not have the direct reaction Jiang Chen's issue, but raised another issue. “这个问题很有意思,你觉得给恐龙一亿年,他们会发展成什么样子？”霍金没有直接回答江晨的问题,而是抛出了另一个问题。 „Does dinosaur calculate civilization?” Jiang Chen asked. “恐龙算文明吗？”江晨反问道。 „Does ant calculate civilization? Does the honeybee calculate civilization? Does the bird of space have own society? Perhaps has, but we are unable to understand, or has not paid attention to them.” Hawking shrugs saying that „arrogant is one of the civilization attributes, becomes slave compared with us small and weakly, small and weak becomes food, even food when was regarded as the insect.” “蚂蚁算文明吗？蜜蜂算文明吗？天上的鸟有自己的社会吗？或许有,只是我们无法理解,或者从来没把它们放在眼里。”霍金耸了耸肩说道,“傲慢是文明的属性之一,比我们弱小的成为奴隶,再弱小的成为食物,连食物都当不了的则被视作虫子。” At this point, Hawking grins to smile suddenly. 说到这里,霍金突然咧嘴笑了笑。 „We are very lucky, at least our civilization brought to the attention of our neighbor, had not been regarded the dispensable insect to disregard by them.” “我们很幸运,至少我们的文明引起了我们邻居的注意,没有被它们当成可有可无的虫子无视掉。” „Do you call it luck this?” The Jiang Chen forced smile said. “你把这称之为幸运？”江晨苦笑道。 He petitioned these insects to regard the insect him actually, rather than spanned 20.5 light years the distances to want his life. 他倒是更请愿那些虫子们把他当成虫子,而不是跨越20.5光年的距离来要他的命。 „Naturally is lucky. Indians at least also has the opportunity of hitting back facing European Colonist, but will the insect have that opportunity? Halts, look, you almost that small life stamping.” Hawking put out a hand to draw Jiang Chen, under the vision of Jiang Chen surprise, referred to his under foot, „right, I referred to that ant, if were not I reminds, you have not even noticed. You will not exchange with it, will not care about it to ponder over anything, will not pay more attention to them in nidifying the craft whether has presented technological breakthrough.” “当然是幸运。印第安人面对欧洲殖民者至少还有还手的机会,而虫子会有那个机会吗？站住,看,你差点把那个小生命给踩死。”霍金伸手拉了江晨一把,在江晨诧异的目光下,指了指他的脚下,“没错,我指的是那只蚂蚁,如果不是我提醒,你甚至没注意到。你不会和它交流,也不会在意它琢磨些什么,更不会关注它们在筑巢工艺上是否出现过技术突破。” Saying, Hawking is grinning, the squatting lower part of the body, picked up a dry wood branch conveniently, placed in front of an ant. 说着,霍金咧着嘴,蹲下身来,随手捡起了一根枯木枝,放在了一只蚂蚁面前。 That was only small the ant to be puzzled about the sudden obstacle, head antenna is rocking back and forth, finally it chose from side circles...... 那只小蚂蚁对突如其来的障碍物感到了困惑,头上的触角来回晃动着,最终它选择从旁边绕过去…… „We are is taught many general knowledge, but the general knowledge often is only the synonym of prejudice.” “我们一世为人被教导很多常识,但常识往往只是偏见的代名词。” Has turned the head, Hawking looked to Jiang Chen. 转过头,霍金看向了江晨。 „You thought that it will ponder why this branch will keep off in his front?” “你觉得它会思考这根树枝为什么会挡在他的面前吗？” „You thought that I should from the angle reply this issue of philosophy, is from the angle of science?” Helpless Jiang Chen said. “你觉得我应该从哲学的角度回答这个问题,还是从科学的角度？”江晨无奈道。 I am not the ant, how I know that it does know this branch will keep off in his front? 我不是蚂蚁,我咋知道它知不知道这根树枝会挡在他的前面？ Hawking hehe smiles, transferred the head, looks that only around the ant that the branch walks , to continue to say. 霍金呵呵笑了笑,将头转了过去,看着那只绕着树枝走的蚂蚁,继续说道。 „Has no relations with the philosophy and science, if must say, should be Cosmology.” “和哲学、科学没有任何关系,如果非要说的话,应该是宇宙学。” Jiang Chen felt that own corners of the mouth twitched under. 江晨感觉自己的嘴角抽搐了下。 „Cosmology?” “宇宙学？” „Right. The definition of Cosmology is to the Cosmos overall research, and extends to discussing position of humanity in Cosmos, cannot calculate the philosophy, naturally cannot be scientific, but both moisten near a point.” “没错。宇宙学的定义就是对宇宙整体的研究,并且延伸至探讨人类在宇宙中的地位,不能算哲学,当然也不能算科学,但两者都沾一点边。” Saying, Hawking put out a hand to pick up two branches, kept off in the two sides of ant, encircled it. 说着,霍金又伸手捡起了两根树枝,挡在了蚂蚁的两边,将它围了起来。 „If one hour, you should sit in the classroom early a moment ago, listening to me to tell the story that Fermi Paradox and Cosmos Sifter have to tell. But was a pity very much, you missed that vivid interesting public election class. However now is not late, if you asked me to eat the pine cone pie, I” “如果早一个小时来,你刚才应该坐在教室里,听我讲费米悖论和宇宙筛子不得不说的故事。但很可惜,你错过了那堂生动有趣的公选课。不过现在还不算晚,如果你请我吃松果馅饼,我” „Does not have the issue, eats many not to have the issue.” Jiang Chen said hastily. “没问题,吃多少都没问题。”江晨连忙说道。 Hawking smiles, referred to the ground that the shackles of triangle is built by the branch, he spends complete for three seconds „masterpiece”. 霍金笑了笑,指了指地面上那个由树枝搭成的三角形的牢笼,他花三秒钟完成的“杰作”。 „This branch is Cosmos Sifter that it faces, if it circled, then it can go on living. If it thought through, then it can become the unusual ant. If it were blocked......” “这根树枝就是它面临的宇宙筛子,如果它绕过去了,那么它就能活下去。如果它想通了,那么它就能成为与众不同的蚂蚁。如果它被挡住了……” , Hawking stood slowly, patted the ash on clothes. 顿了顿,霍金慢悠悠地站了起来,拍了拍衣服上的灰。 „It will starve to death here.” “它就会饿死在这里。” After listening to the Hawking words, Jiang Chen deeply frowned, suddenly, in his brain flashed through wiped the miraculous glow, is opening and closing the lip looking pensive. 听完了霍金的话后,江晨眉头紧锁,突然间,他的脑中闪过了一抹灵光,若有所思地开合着嘴唇。 „Fermi Paradox, Cosmos Sifter......” “费米悖论,宇宙筛子……” As if held anything in the brain, Jiang Chen's eye gradually bright. 似乎在脑中抓住了什么,江晨的眼睛渐渐明亮了起来。 At this moment, he notices, that ant extended the antenna to the branch, was stranded in it that in the triangle shackles could not find the outlet, starts to attempt to change a new way of thinking, wears to crawl from the branch. However from beginning to end, it has not detected, or has not pondered, is actually who is operating is being placed in its front barrier. 就在这时,他注意到,那只蚂蚁向树枝伸出了触角,被困在三角牢笼中找不到出路的它,开始尝试换个新思路,着从树枝上爬过去。然而自始至终,它都没有察觉到,或者根本未曾思考过,究竟是谁在操纵着摆在它面前的障碍。 „Now I answer your issue. You asked my 3.7 billion year enough civilization grows to what degree, I am unable to reply you, only if you can tell me, actually they met anything in this 3.7 billion year.” “现在我回答你的问题。你问我三十七亿年的时间足够一个文明发育到什么程度,我无法回答你,除非你能告诉我,他们在这三十七亿年中究竟遇到了什么。” „In trillion years of criterion, troublesome always inexhaustible. The disaster, disease and chaos caused by war...... actually these are the small issues. Like this branch, regardless of comes many roots again, it can pass finally.” “在亿万年的时间尺度上,麻烦总是无穷无尽的。天灾、疾病、战乱……其实这些都是小问题。就像这根树枝,无论再来多少根,它最终都能过去。” Looks that only successfully climbs over the branch the ant, Hawking hehe smiles. 看着那只成功爬过树枝的蚂蚁,霍金呵呵笑了笑。 „Naturally, it is not always lucky, when particularly it bumped into one be subject to changing moods ‚God’.” “当然了,它也不总是那么幸运,尤其是当它碰上了一位喜怒无常的‘上帝’。” Hawking lifts starts, branch that ant and suspends the triangle, all stepped on the under foot...... 霍金抬起脚,将那只蚂蚁和摆成三角形的树枝,全都踩在了脚下…… ...... …… Chatted a while with Hawking, Jiang Chen felt oneself thought through many issues. 和霍金聊了一会儿,江晨感觉自己想通了不少问题。 Not only that 3.7 billion year ago civilization, that Extraterrestrial Civilization 20 light years away, he could not have thought through or the indecisive issue, at this moment one by one found the answer. 不只是那个三十七亿年前的文明,还有那二十地外文明,原本他想不通或者犹豫不决的问题,此刻都一一找到了答案。 After arriving at the cafeteria, Jiang Chen takes out money to treat as promised, ordered enough two pine cone pies to this old person. 来到食堂后,江晨如约掏钱请客,给这位老人点了足足两份松果馅饼。 To be honest, he really does not know this sweet actually sends the greasy gadget to have anything to be delicious, but sits with great interest, can only sigh with emotion the thing cuisine that opposite Huo Old Lord actually chews the difference. In line with cannot waste food the principle, Jiang Chen must dismember that in oneself tray with the fork, bears the temper to eat one after another. 说实话,他真不知道这甜的发腻的玩意儿究竟有什么好吃的,但坐对面的霍老爷子却嚼的津津有味,只能感慨东西饮食文化的差异了。本着不能浪费食物的原则,江晨只得用叉子肢解了自己盘子里的那份,耐着性子一口一口吃了下去。 Really misjudged, forgot this goods to come from Britain unexpectedly, dark ingredients pioneer! 真是失算了,竟然忘了这货可是从英国来的,黑暗料理界的先驱！ „Not being able to eat up not to need reluctantly.” Curled upwards one leg on the other, Hawking is suppressing is smiling forced in the mouth with the fork pie block, the wrinkle turned in one. “吃不下不必勉强。”翘着二郎腿,霍金憋着笑用叉子馅饼块塞进了嘴里,皱纹都扭在了一起。 Jiang Chen suddenly felt, the appearance that this old man smiles was really inexpensive. 江晨突然觉得,这老头笑起来的样子实在是太贱了。 „Does not eat, without appetite.” “不吃了,没胃口。” Jiang Chen eventually gave up this also having the larger part the pie, threw into the fork the tray, after Hawking said goodbye, carries the tray toward the entrance receiving dining car to walk. 江晨最终放弃了这盘还剩下一大半的馅饼,将叉子丢进了盘子里,向霍金告辞后,端起盘子向门口的收餐车走去。 Because the car(riage) stopped in the teaching ground floor, this little while he has to the old route return. 因为车停在了教学楼底下,这会儿他不得不原路返回。 However when he passed by the forest that previously passed through **, discovered that one group of students encircled in the lawn, put up the temporary platform, seems like very lively appearance. 然而就在他路过先前穿过的林**时,发现一群学生在草坪上围了一圈,搭起了临时的台子,看上去很热闹的样子。 The curiosity makes it so, Jiang Chen walked two steps to that side, held on a passing by student, pointed at that side to speak thoughtlessly to ask the sentence. 好奇心使然,江晨向那边走了两步,拉住了一位路过的学生,指着那边随口问了句。 „Do they do there?”( To be continued.) “他们在那里干什么？”(未完待续。)
