宽松、多元化的办学理念,使得无论是来自哪里的学生,都能很快的融入到这所年轻的大学中。At this moment, onfilling the brickrock road of booksaura, the studentsare holding the books, walking pastin threes and fours, walksin the direction of classroom building. Thisinusuallysloppyordinary, but is actually reallyrarein the weekend.
此刻,在充满书卷气息的砖石路上,学生们正捧着书本,三五成群的走过,向着教学楼的方向走去。这一幕在平时稀松平常,但在周末却实属罕见。„, Did youhear? ThatJiang Chenmustcome toourschoolto teach the publicclass!”
“诶诶,你听说了吗?那个江晨要来我们学校讲公开课!”„Jiang Chen? IsthatJiang Chen? Future GroupChairman of the Board, Virtual Reality NetworkFounder?”
“江晨?是那个江晨?未来人集团的董事长,虚拟实境网络的奠基人?”„Reallyreally?! Whatsaidwasanything, Irequestedto rub the class!”
“真的真的?!讲的是什么呀,我要求蹭课!”„Cosmology.”Wears the eyeglasses, seems like very gentlefemale studentto say.
“宇宙学。”戴着眼镜,看上去很文静的女生说道。„......”
“……”„...... Space...... Cosmology?”
“……宇……宇宙学?”„...... Is the science subjects?”
“……是理科吗?”„Also is really accidental/surprised, Ialsothink that hewill stress the economy, Internetand so on.”
“还真是意外呢,我还以为他会讲经济啦,互联网啦之类的。”„Hee hee, can thatalsorub the class? Has not relatedwithourspecialtiescompletely.”
“嘻嘻,那还要去蹭课吗?和我们的专业完全没关系哦。”„Nonsense, thisalsowithasking!”Female studenteyesare dodging the smallstar, saidexcitedly.
“废话,这还用问吗!”一名女生眼睛闪着小星星,激动地说道。„After all is the class that the world's richesttaught! Heard that HarvardUniversitywantsto askhimto explainArtificial IntelligenceDatabasewiththreedefinitions, hehas not gone!”Anotherfemale studentalsoechoed what others say.
“毕竟是世界首富讲的课!听说哈弗大学想请他去讲解人工智能数据库与三定义,他都没去呢!”另一名女生也随声附和道。Truly, canlisten to the world's richestcourse the opportunity is not many, particularlythisMr.Jiang Chensuitablelow key, besideshas beamed with joyatlast yearopening ceremony, basicallyrarely appear here campus.
确实,能听世界首富讲座的机会可不多,尤其是这位江晨先生相当的低调,除了在去年的开学典礼上露过脸之外,基本上就很少出现在这座校园中。Even ifthispublic electionclassnameis quite strange, is seemingly irrelevantwith the domain that Jiang Chenoneselfinvolve, butthishas not hinderedpeopleas beforetohiscuriosity.
哪怕这节公选课的名字相当奇怪,看上去似乎和江晨本人涉及的领域毫不相关,但这依旧没有妨碍人们对他本人的好奇心。Is hittingwhatgoal, whenJiang Chenenters the lecture amphitheater, sees onlyin the classroomhuman head|number of peopleto sway.
无论是打着何种目的,当江晨走进阶梯教室的时候,只见教室内已经人头攒动。Canhold200to come to the classroom of person, at this momentperformsbystops upslowlyding-dong, somepeopleevenmoved in the stoolfrom the next doorclassroom, saton the aislesimply.
能够容纳两百来人的教室,此刻尽是被塞得慢慢当当的,有些人甚至从隔壁教室搬来了凳子,干脆坐在了走道上。Looks atthatpassionateface, even ifsaw the magnificent scene, the Jiang Chen'sscalpalsosomewhattingled with numbness.
看着那一张张热情洋溢的脸,纵使见惯了大场面,江晨的头皮也不由有些发麻。At this timeherememberedyesterdaywhentelephoning, laughter that Rafael LeifPrincipalthatharbored evil intentions. Reallybythatold fogyinsaying, ifhehasthispublicclass, the curriculum of unexpected winner, the classroomabsolutelywill be full house.
这时他想起了昨天在打电话时,拉斐尔·莱夫校长那不怀好意的笑声。果然被那个老家伙给说中了,如果他开这公开课,无论是多么冷门的课程,教室绝对都会座无虚席。Creepy feelingturns over to tingle with numbness, having stage frightnaturallyisimpossible.
头皮发麻归发麻,怯场当然是不可能的。How saying that healsocounts the leader of 100,000person, that sideLast of Dayswasseparated a side„bigwarlord”, onlyhundredstudents, but alsobeing insufficientmadehimhave stage fright.
怎么说他也是数十万人的领导者了,在末世那边更是割据一方的“大军阀”,区区百来名学生,还不足以让他怯场。Smilesis wavingto the stage, Jiang Chenopenedhungheadsetnearear, coughedlightlywas trying the last word, thenopened the mouthto say.
微笑着向台下挥了挥手,江晨打开了挂在耳边的耳麦,轻咳着试了下音,然后开口道。„Everyonepresentdefinitelyinwantsto ask,todaystandsbefore you person, whywill chooseCosmologythisbewilderedtopic, rather thanteachessomeusefullyormore actualsuccessful experience?”
“在座的各位肯定在想问,今天站在你们面前的这个人,为什么会挑选宇宙学这个莫名其妙的课题,而不是传授些更有用的或者更实际的成功经验?”In the classroom the noisysoundsubsidedgradually, everyoneis looking at the position of platformwith total concentration, is looking at the Jiang Chen'sface.
教室内嘈杂的声音渐渐平息了下来,所有人都聚精会神地望着讲台的位置,望着江晨的脸。„Thisissueis very goodto reply. The renownedeconomistandWall StreetinvestorJames Glassmanpublishedthisbookrecently, meashisobject of study, thorough...... naturallyin my opinionisone-sidedwhy...... analyzedmeandmyFuture Grouponlyused the shortthreeyears, thenstoodPyramidto be sharpfromhaving a thing in the world.”Saying, Jiang Chensmiles, looks to allstudents of sitting, „Ido not approvehisdiscussion process, butIapprovehisconclusion.”
“这个问题很好回答。著名的经济学家、华尔街投资人詹姆斯·格拉斯曼最近出了本书,把我作为了他的研究对象,深入……当然在我看来是片面的……剖析了我和我的未来人集团为何只用了短短的三年,便从一无所有站到了金字塔尖。”说着,江晨笑了笑,看向了在坐的所有学员,“我不认同他的论证过程,但我认同他的结论。”„That is, mysuccessexperience, is not replicable.”
“那就是,我的成功经历,是不可复制的。”„Sincemyexperienceis not replicable, thenitregarding, is not the good medicine, possiblyis onlytoxicantalsoperhaps.”
“既然我的经验不可复制,那么它对于诸位来说,不是什么良药,可能只是一剂毒药也说不定。”„Butbesidesbeyond the success in commercial, Iconfessedandcannot put outanythingto be ableinotherdomainsstrongability. Therefore, Ichosemeto be interestedvery much, had the topic of researchslightly, wasCosmology that Imustspeaktoday.”
“但除了在商业上的成功外,我自认又拿不出什么能在其它领域强过诸位的本领。于是,我就挑选了一个我个人很感兴趣,也稍有研究的课题,也就是我今天要讲的宇宙学。”Jiang Chennotices, many studentstook up the cell phone, is recordingfull of enthusiasm.江晨注意到,有不少学生都拿起了手机,正兴致勃勃地录像。Howeverhehas not cared, words that hemustspeaktoday, tooffer a few ordinary introductory remarks so that others may offer their valuable ideas.
不过他并没有在意,他今天所要说的话,本来就是为了抛砖引玉。Saying, himis turning aroundto take the symbolpen, wrote downfourcharactersin the blank slate.
说着,他转身拿起了记号笔,在白板上写下了四个字。【where are they?】
【他们在哪?】Has turned around, Jiang Chenput the symbolpenon the table, looked ateveryonepresent.
转过身,江晨将记号笔搁在了桌上,将目光投向了在座的各位。„where are they? Everyone who thisissue, Iwantto presentwill not be definitely strange. Right, itisfamousFermi Paradox.”
“他们在哪?这个问题,我想在座的各位肯定都不会陌生。没错,它就是著名的费米悖论。”„It is estimated that mayobserve the Stellarquantity in Cosmosprobablyto1024powers of exponentin1022powers of exponent, butonEarth the quantity of sandis the 7.5 * 1018power of exponentgrains.” After stopping the moment, Jiang Chensmiles, thenspreads out the hand saying that „in other words, onEartheachgrain of sand, cancorrespondinCosmos a 10,000planet.”
“据估计,可观测宇宙内的恒星数量大概是在十的22次方到十的24次方之间,而地球上沙子的数量是7.5*10的18次方粒。”停顿了片刻后,江晨笑了笑,接着摊开手说道,“也就是说,地球上每一粒沙子,就可以对应宇宙中一万颗行星。”„Cosmoscompared withourimaginationbigmany, imaginecompared withus the darkness.”
“宇宙远比我们的想象力大的多,也要比我们想象中的黑暗。”„Thisdarknessdoes not come fromwhatAlien, in the face of13.8 billionyears of criterion, allcivilizationisbase and lowandtiny. Perhapsonourmain house gatesparks (Mars), had once sproutedcivilizationFire Seed. Butitappeared1 billionor the previous10 billionyear ago has exhausted the life span, buton1 billionyear ago Earth was also onlychaossea, did not exist the trilobita.”
“这种黑暗不是来自于什么外星人,在138亿年的时间尺度面前,所有文明都是卑微而渺小的。或许我们的家门口火星上,就曾萌发过文明的火种。只不过它出现在十亿或者上百亿年前就已经耗尽了寿命,而十亿年前的地球上还只是一片混沌的海洋,连三叶虫都不存在。”„Thisisso-calledCosmos Sifter. The probability that weandExtraterrestrial Civilizationmeetis minimal, but after the meet, candiscover that each otherprobability, isminimal.”
“这就是所谓的宇宙筛子。我们和地外文明相遇的概率微乎其微,而相遇后能够发现彼此的概率,更是微乎其微。”„Butwemustcome up with the hypothesisas before, ifweandExtraterrestrial Civilizationmeet, butamongusjustcandiscovereach other, andcanunderstandeach otherexistence. ThenIcanassert, the consequence of blindcontact will be quite dangerous......”
“但我们依旧必须做出假设,如果我们与地外文明相遇,而我们之间刚好能够发现彼此,并且能够理解彼此的存在。那么我可以断言,盲目接触的后果将会相当危险……”
The understandingdoes not mean the approval, butdoes not approvewill cause the conflict. Thisapprovalmanifests , the values, the core valueaestheticallywas various, liketakingDeathfor the dead spirit of beautiful, is unable to admitwith the live person of eulogylifeabsolutelymutually.
理解不意味着认同,而不认同将导致冲突。这种认同体现在审美、价值观、核心价值等多方面,就像以死亡为美的亡灵,绝对无法与歌颂生命的活人相互接纳。Jiang Chenhad not counted on that ownclasscanbring many inspirationstothesestudents, argument that he stated that was the predecessorhas discussed.江晨没有指望自己的课能给这些学生带来过多的启发,他所陈述的论点,很多都是前人已经讨论过的。Hewantsto have a look, afterhesaid the truth, thesestudentswill haveanythingto respond.
他只是想看看,当他说出真相后,这些学生们会有什么反应。Throughthesestudents'responses, at leastcanappraisesketchily, announces to the public the broughtconsequence the crisis that Earth Civilizationfaces.
通过这些学生们的反应,至少能够粗略的评估,将地球文明所面临的危机公布于众所带来的后果。
The classroomwas near the end.
课堂接近了尾声。„......, if, Imeantif, hassuchColony ShipfromExtraterrestrial Civilization, is going to the Earthroad. Wedo not know where itcomes, did not determine whether ithas the good intentions, ifyouare the Earth Civilizationpolicy-maker, youafterlearningthisinformation, what kind ofdecisionmakes.”
“……假如,我是说假如,有那么一艘来自地外文明的殖民舰,正在前往地球的路上。我们不知道它从哪里来,也不确定它是否带着善意,如果你是地球文明的决策者,你会在获悉这个情报后,做出怎样的决定。”„Thisisyourhomework, hopes that youconscientiouslycomplete.”
“这是你们的家庭作业,希望你们认真完成。”Jiang Chennotices, understage many students'afterhearingthiswork, the expressionappears the suitable interest in lack.江晨注意到,台下不少学生在听到这个作业后,表情都显得相当的兴趣缺缺。
Obviously, no onewill really be seriousthisbewilderedwork. After allviewed from whichever angle, thisworkarrangement was really bored. Theyare notthatweakage, will fantasize the outer space, fantasized that the firstcontact of humanityandExtraterrestrial Civilization, fantasizestheseimpracticalissues.
很显然,没人会真的将这个莫名其妙的作业当回事儿。毕竟无论从哪个角度看,这个作业布置的都实在是太无聊了。他们已经不是那个幼稚的年龄,会去幻想太空,幻想人类与地外文明的第一次接触,幻想那些不切实际的问题。Perhaps a work, a scholarship, oris the Professortopic, canlet the thoughts that theyraisedseriouslytreat.
或许一份工作,一份奖学金,或者是教授的课题,更能让他们提起认真对待的心思。Thinks ofhere, Jiang Chenshakes the headwith a smile.
想到这里,江晨不由笑着摇了摇头。Managed the books on table, hecoughedgently, saidto the student who preparingto finish class.
理了理桌上的书本,他轻轻咳了咳,对准备下课的学生说道。„Good, Iknow that youare not definitely interested, thenIspoke frankly.”
“好吧,我知道你们肯定对此都不感兴趣,那么我就直说好了。”„Believes that frequentlyplays the cell phonewearshelmet, toStar Ring Tradingouter spaceColonization Planwill not be certainly strange. The Extraterrestrial CivilizationresearchisStar Ring Tradingouter spaceColonization Planonepoint, youpossiblyfeelverysenseless, butItellyounow, thistopichas the commercial value. Butthehomework that Iassign, is then relatedwiththistopic.”
“相信经常玩手机戴头盔的诸位,对星环贸易的太空殖民计划一定不会陌生。地外文明研究是星环贸易的太空殖民计划的一环,你们可能觉得很无趣,但现在我告诉你,这个课题有商业价值。而我布置的这个作业,便与这个课题相关。”„Bonus10,000USD of topic, will choosetenqualifiedpapersto provide. Ifyouare interested, thathands over a papertome. Right, withoutelecting the classstudent can also participate, mailboxinblank slate. Icompareto fear the trouble, oneselfpastein the mailboxto sendtogether the bankcardaccount number......”
“课题的奖金一万美元,会选十篇合格的论文发放。如果你们感兴趣,那就交篇论文给我。对了,没有选课的学生也可以参与,邮箱就在白板上。我这个人比较怕麻烦,自己把银行卡账号贴邮箱里一起发过来……”
The wordshave not said,Jiang Chenthennotices.
话还没说完,江晨便注意到。Thatbotheye, looked that was differenttoownvisionimmediately......( to be continued.)
那一双双眼睛,看向自己的目光顿时不一样了……(未完待续。)
