So-called stipend ( fellowship ), is the entire prize in usual significance. Distinguishes between scholarship ( sholahip ), the stipend not only remitted the school expense and hotel expense of award-winning student, but also meets the award-winning student certainly living expenses as the individual consumption expenses. 所谓助学金(fellowship),便是通常意义中的全奖。区别于奖学金(sholahip),助学金不但免除了获奖学生的学费和住宿费,还会给获奖学生一定生活费作为个人消费开销。 Also therefore, the stipend competes in the application process especially intensely, generally besides the request high paper surface result, needs to provide an attractive domestic school report card regarding the overseas applicant, and letter of recommendation and studies the plan. 也正是因此,助学金在申请过程中竞争尤其激烈,一般除了要求较高的纸面成绩之外,对于国外申请者还需要提供一份漂亮的国内学校成绩单、以及推荐信和读书计划。 Regarding different schools, even is different individuals, the amount of entire prize is different, even the payment pattern is also divided into the taking year to pay off in a lump sum or, quarter hit funds wait for the unit monthly. 对于不同的学校,甚至是不同的个人,全奖的数额有所不同,甚至支付方式也分为以年为单位一次付清或者按月、季度打款等等。 The entire prize application difficulty of Princeton, is in North American many universities is without doubt strictest, particularly the entire prize of doctor stage. But regarding a postgraduate candidate of Kohl theory of numbers prize rank, as if no any problem. 普林斯顿的全奖申请难度,无疑是北美诸多高校中最严格的,尤其是博士阶段的全奖。但对于一位柯尔数论奖级别的博士生来说,似乎并不存在任何问题。 After all Lu Zhou, but competent writes the letter of recommendation to others, do not say that his teacher was elderly man Deligne. 毕竟陆舟自己,可是够资格给别人写推荐信的,更不要说他的导师是德利涅老人家了。 In stipend that Lu Zhou attains, contained remitted the school expense hotel expense, a free medical insurance, as well as a paying off in a lump sum 40,000 US dollars bonus. 陆舟拿到的助学金中,包含了免除学费住宿费,还有一份免费的医疗保险,以及一笔一次付清的四万美元奖金。 The bank by Princeton University managed stretch/open card, rewards the check of check and Princeton stipend that withdrew cash after Kohl, Lu Zhou looks in the balance that string of numbers, in the heart a feeling. 在普林斯顿大学旁边的银行办了张卡,将柯尔奖的支票和普林斯顿助学金的支票提现了之后,陆舟看着余额中那一串数字,心中不由一阵感慨。 Others spend greatly money goes abroad to study, oneself study abroad not only has not been spending, instead also gained one. 别人花大把的钱出国留学,自己留学不但没花着钱,反而还赚了一笔。 Subtlety that this feeling really could not have said. 这种感觉还真是说不出来的微妙。 ...... …… Got through the stipend and matter of school expense miscellaneous expense, Lu Zhou was stabilized in Princeton University temporarily. 办完了助学金以及学费杂费的事情,陆舟在普林斯顿大学暂时算是安定了下来。 Here regarding the undergraduate student, the studies is truly arduous, but regarding postgraduate candidate, if not the teacher urges is too tight, instead will be quite loose. 这里对于本科生来说,学业确实很繁重,但对于博士生来说,如果不是导师催的太紧,反而会比较宽松。 Although Professor Deligne arranged the work of teaching assistant for him, but the first class in April, has one month from the present. Lu Zhou even pulled out for several days to come out, goes to nearby town/subdues testing the driver's license. 德利涅教授虽然为他安排了助教的工作,但第一堂课在四月份,距离现在还有一个月的时间。陆舟甚至抽了几天出来,去附近的镇上把驾照给考了。 Besides Goldbach's conjecture this long-term research subject, the duty of his present stage, primarily under the guidance of Professor Deligne, studies the algebra Geometry study the knowledge. 除了哥德巴赫猜想这一长期性的研究课题之外,他现阶段的任务,主要还是在德利涅教授的指导下,学习代数几何学的知识。 The one who lets Lu Zhou be wild with joy, in this old person hand from Belgium, there is his long-awaited thing deceased Venerable Grothendieck's «Draft political guideline» original manuscript as well as by a US math postgraduate candidate who minored in French translates to 3/4 English translated editions. 让陆舟欣喜若狂的是,这位来自比利时的老人手中,有他梦寐以求的东西已故格罗滕迪克老先生的《纲领草案》原稿以及被一位兼修了法语的美国数学博士生翻译到四分之三的英文译本。 With modern algebra Geometry study Holy Bible «Algebra Geometry Study Foundation ( ega )» different, since millennium Grothendieck reclaimed all work copyrights, «Draft political guideline» then only spreads in some mathematicians, in which many thought that even can comprehend until today's no one completely. 和现代代数几何学的圣经《代数几何学基础(ega)》不同,自从千禧年格罗滕迪克收回了所有著作版权之后,《纲领草案》便只在部分数学家中流传,其中的诸多思想,甚至直到今天都无人能完全领会。 Lu Zhou at the invitation of deceased Venerable Grothendieck, had not gone to France to seek for this for the heritage of modern algebra Geometry study Pope, on the one hand is because knows nothing to French, on the other hand is because did not have a thorough research to the work of Venerable Grothendieck. 陆舟一直没有应已故格罗滕迪克老先生的邀请,前往法国寻找这为现代代数几何学教皇的遗产,一方面是因为对法语一窍不通,另一方面便是因为对格罗滕迪克老先生的工作还没有一个深入的研究。 That «Draft political guideline» original manuscript adds English translated edition, regarding Lu Zhou, it can be said that helps what busy. Thing that the personal direction of Professor Grothendieck's outstanding disciple Deligne, many obscurely is in addition difficult to understand, becomes easily. 那个《纲领草案》的原稿加英文译本,对于陆舟而言,可以说是帮什么大忙。再加上格罗滕迪克的高徒德利涅教授的亲自指点,很多晦涩难懂的东西,都变得容易许多。 Really, chooses a good teacher, can save a lot of time. 果然,选择一个好的导师,能节省不少时间。 Besides under the direction of Professor Deligne, completes to the study of algebra Geometry study, Lu Zhou other idle times, almost used the Goldbach's conjecture. 除了在德利涅教授的指点下,完成对代数几何学的学习之外,陆舟将其他的空闲时间,几乎都用在了哥德巴赫猜想身上。 Once inspiration came suddenly, he has not even been going out several days, closed/pass oneself in ten square meters single room, formed in one's mind how in the evening the frame of theory, will stem from the Goldbach's conjecture „group construction law”, returned to Goldbach's conjecture this proposition comes up. 有一次灵感突然来了,他甚至连着好几天都没出门,把自己关在了十平米的单人间里,构思如何晚上理论的框架,将起源于哥德巴赫猜想的“群构法”,回归到哥德巴赫猜想这一命题上去。 Finally he has not thought, this closes up, is one week, even also misses the course that should not miss. 结果他也没想到,这一闭关,就是一个星期,甚至还错过了一堂本来不应该错过的讲座。 For this matter, Professor Deligne also telephones specially, inquired his outcome what's the matter. 为了这件事情,德利涅教授还专程打电话过来,询问他究竟是怎么回事儿。 However, in knowing Lu Zhou for these days not in New York or Philadelphia of everywhere wave next door, but closes studies diligently itself the Goldbach's conjecture after the room earnestly, Professor Deligne then does not have again to the matter that he ditches school to say anything, was only silent a while, said with the warning tone. 不过,在得知陆舟这几天并不是在隔壁的纽约或者费城到处浪,而是把自己关在房间里埋头钻研哥德巴赫猜想之后,德利涅教授便没再对他旷课的事情说什么,只是沉默了一会儿,用告诫的口吻说道。 „Research mathematical problem needs to study diligently, but the specialty does not mean to divorce oneself from reality. If you felt that your research fell into the bottleneck, my suggestion is you can bumping into the issue puts temporarily, goes out to play a soccer, or is looked that several movies...... the inspiration needs you to seek on own initiative, rather than other inspirations look for you on own initiative.” “研究数学问题需要钻研,但专业并不意味着闭门造车。如果你感觉你的研究陷入了瓶颈,我的建议是你可以把碰到的问题暂时放一放,出去踢个足球,或者是看几场电影……灵感需要你主动去寻找,而不是等灵感主动找上你。” Lu Zhou: „I will seriously consider that your suggestion...... was right, can I ask for leave?” 陆舟:“我会认真考虑你的建议……对了,我可以请个假吗？” Deligne: „How long?” 德利涅:“多久？” Lu Zhou thinks, said: „Two weeks.” 陆舟想了想,说:“两周。” Deligne: „That does not need to ask for instructions me, you can freely schedule your time. But if within one year, your topic has no progress as before, I will give you to arrange other research work. Golden period such dozens years of research math, I do not look at you a all year round time waste on a blind alley.” 德利涅:“那没必要请示我,你可以自由安排自己的时间。但如果一年之内,你的课题依旧没有任何进展,我会给你安排其他的研究工作。研究数学的黄金时期就这么几十年,我不会看着你将一整年的时间浪费在一条死路上。” Then, the senior professor made the telephone call. 说完,老教授挂了电话。 Put down cell phone, Lu Zhou smiled reluctantly, is transferring the ball pen in hand. 放下了手机,陆舟无奈地笑了笑,转着手中的圆珠笔。 Is the time only one year? 时间只有一年吗？ It seems like although Professor Deligne on the mouth had not said that similar that but actually at heart and Morina thinks, does not favor itself to complete this task. 看来德利涅教授虽然嘴上没说,但其实心里和莫丽娜想的差不多,并不看好自己能完成这一任务。 However this also side explained that this senior professor to own care. If changes individual, even if perhaps sprouts up the fantasy to plan that changes professions to go to Hollywood to make the movie, this venerable may not have too the response. 不过这也侧面说明了,这位老教授对自己的关心。如果换个人的话,没准就算是突发奇想打算改行去好莱坞拍电影,这位老先生可能也不会有太多反应。 „Cannot hesitate here, must make the best use of the time.” Shakes the head, Lu Zhou took up by the pen that he transfers to fly, starts to consider as finished at the scratch paper performance. “可不能在这里犹豫,得抓紧时间了。”摇了摇头,陆舟重新拿起了被他转飞出去的笔,开始在草稿纸上演算了起来。 ...... …… Although on the mouth was saying will seriously consider, the habit of but for many years forming, is not a short time can change. 虽然嘴上说着会认真考虑,但多年来养成的习惯,可不是一时半会儿就能改掉的。 Moreover, Lu Zhou does not believe, what own custom does have is not good? 而且,陆舟也并不认为,自己的习惯有什么不好？ The mathematics circles has Chen Jingrun that type to walk was pondering the old pedant who issue, has Perelman that type eccentrically to the recluse who rather gnaws old is not willing to go far to receive an award, there is a Kolmogorov this deep love household of foreign shipment „amateur boxer”( most famous one time in the Soviet academic conference, because debated that brandishes fist to own teacher hot tempered......). 数学界有陈景润那种走路都在思考问题的老学究,有佩雷尔曼那种孤僻到宁愿啃老都不愿意出远门领奖的隐士,也有柯尔莫哥洛夫这种热爱户外运的“业余拳击手”(最出名的一次是在苏联学术会议上,因为辩论不过就暴躁地对自己的导师抡起拳头……)。 Lu Zhou felt oneself are not the eccentric researcher, when necessary he will also listen to the course of peer to broaden the mentality, and being glad stands on the tribune shares own research success with the peer. But more often, he is accustomed to closing the door a person studies diligently. 陆舟觉得自己并不属于孤僻的研究者,必要的时候他也会去听同行的讲座拓宽思路,并且也乐于站在演讲台上和同行分享自己的研究成功。但更多的时候,他还是习惯于关上门一个人钻研。 This after several days. 就这样又过了几天。 Saturday early morning, the weather of out of the window hazy bright. 周六的清晨,窗外的天色朦朦亮。 Does not know when lies in Lu Zhou that on the table falls asleep, is moving the somewhat stiff arm, by stretches oneself behind the chair. 不知何时趴在桌子上睡着的陆舟,活动着有些僵硬的胳膊,靠在椅子背后伸了个懒腰。 „Perhaps I should please a nanny......” “或许我该请个保姆了……” Also does not know now the robotics development of Silicon Valley how. 也不知道现在硅谷的机器人技术发展的怎么样了。 If possible, he has really thought has custom-made one set of machine body to Xiao Ai, the good and evil can also make under this manpower mental handicap display inspect the use outside mail. 如果可以的话,他真想过给小艾定制一套机器体,好歹也能让这人工智障发挥下检查邮件之外的用处。 For example, with express electronic dog anything. 比如,会拿快递的电子狗什么的。 As for the too complex work, he did not count on that it has that skill. 至于太复杂的工作,他也不指望它有那个本事。 Is thinking some impractical things, Lu Zhou while rubbed the bitter brow, looks to unfold more than ten pages of scratch papers on table, selected several useless rubbing to become one group, threw into nearby basket. 一边想着些不切实际的东西,陆舟一边揉了揉酸涩的眉头,看着铺开在桌上的十几页草稿纸,从中选出了几张无用的揉成一团,扔进了旁边的纸篓。 Felt that the belly was somewhat hungry, he then stood up, entered the kitchen. 感到肚子有些饿了,他便站起身来,走进了厨房。 Took out the smoked meat slice and fresh vegetables from the refrigerator, after the boiling water crossed several dries, clamps drenches the salad dressing in two slices of thick bread, and forced in the oven together. 从冰箱里取出了熏肉切片和生鲜蔬菜,用开水过了几道之后沥干,夹在两片厚实的面包里淋上沙拉酱,并一起塞进了烤箱。 Very regrettable, US here outmoded stir-fried dish, makes to bake occasionally sends to generally also in the outdoors, although this single room has with the kitchen, was actually short of the gas burner and kitchen fan, does him spatially to have good cook, does not have the opportunity. 非常遗憾,美国这边不兴炒菜,偶尔弄个烧烤派对一般也是在户外,这单人间虽然有配厨房,却是少了天然气炉和抽油烟机,搞得他空有一身好厨艺,却没有用武之地。 Although Lu Zhou has also looked for the apartment manager, inquired whether peaceful kitchen fan and stove in kitchen, finally was actually used the surprise the vision to look, and rejected without hesitation. 虽然陆舟也有找过公寓管理员,询问能否在厨房上安个抽油烟机和炉子,结果却是被用诧异的目光看着,并且毫不犹豫的拒绝了。 Thinks is also, this is the construction with a history of more than 90 years, and has had/left many famous scholars. Perhaps crosses dozens years to have an extraordinary personality from here again, this apartment Former Residence of Einstein with nearby not far away was the same, turned into the museum also perhaps. 想想也是,这可是有90多年历史的建筑,而且出过不少有名的学者。说不定再过个几十年从这里出个伟人,这栋公寓就和附近不远处的爱因斯坦故居一样,变成了博物馆也说不定。 If this does not catch fire carefully, that was a pity...... 这要是不小心失了火,那得多可惜…… Regarding the view of apartment manager, Lu Zhou also can only show the understanding. 对于公寓管理员的说法,陆舟也只能表示理解。 He mainly goes to the diet club to eat meal in any case, when is very busy or is in the morning, under the thing with refrigerator will deal with. 反正他主要还是去饮食俱乐部吃饭,只是在特别忙的时候或者是早晨,才会用冰箱里的东西应付下。 After solving the breakfast, Lu Zhou made. the coffee to oneself, stands by the refrigerator is drinking leisurely, while stares at tick-tock the clock of rotation to reorganize the previous mentality cup 解决了早餐之后,陆舟给自己泡了杯咖啡,站在冰箱旁边一边慢条斯理地喝着,一边盯着滴答转动的时钟整理着先前的思路。 At this moment, he receives the call that Senior Brother Luo made suddenly. 就在这时,他忽然接到了罗师兄打来的电话。 „Hey, you do not reach an agreement must look at the car(riage) with me today? I arrived at the school entrance, you planned when Move out...... don't tell me you not to get out of bed?” “嘿,你不是说好今天要和我一起去看车的吗？我都到校门口了,你打算什么时候出发……别告诉我你还没起床？” Until this time, Lu Zhou realized, oneself as if close up was a little long. 直到这时,陆舟才意识到,自己似乎闭关的有点久了。
