……StandsProfessorEnock the moodinclassroomis not happy, evenis somewhat agitated.
站在教室里的伊诺克教授心情并不愉快,甚至有些烦躁。Similarlypublished the articleonarxiv, Perelman'sPoincaré conjectureobtained the academic circleapproval, the proof of thatLu ZhoutoGoldbach's conjecturealsoobtained the approval of academic circle, hispaperthrew into„generalmath”onlyclassification.
同样是发在arxiv上的文章,佩雷尔曼的庞加莱猜想得到了学术界认可,那个陆舟对哥德巴赫猜想的证明也得到了学术界的认可,唯独他的论文被扔进了“一般数学”的分类。Moreoverrecentlyhedidto understand,thisclassificationhas become the garbage heap.
而且最近他才搞明白,这个分类已经成了垃圾堆。In the classroom, instigateshimto prove the student who Riemann hypothesissaid.
教室里,怂恿他证明黎曼猜想的学生说道。„ProfessorEnock, can the Riemann hypothesisbe usedto solve the Goldbach's conjecture?”
“伊诺克教授,请问黎曼猜想可以被用于解决哥德巴赫猜想吗?”ProfessorEnockspoke thoughtlessly saying: „Yes, the Goldbach's conjecture is very sure easy, the distribution of prime numberis closely relatedin a RiemannZeta(s )function of carefulstructure, essentiallyitis the prime numberissue, underRiemannZeta(s )functionsystem that Iestablish, solves the Goldbach's conjectureonlyto takethreehours.”
伊诺克教授随口说道:“是的,当然可以,哥德巴赫猜想很容易,素数的分布紧密相关于一个精心构造的黎曼ζ(s)函数,本质上它是素数问题,在我建立的黎曼ζ(s)函数体系之下,解决哥德巴赫猜想只需要三个小时。”Somestudentsasked: „Did Hilbert23ask? ProfessorEnock, shouldbe very easyto you.”
有学生问道:“那希尔伯特23问呢?伊诺克教授,对您来说应该很容易吧。”„Naturally, can very relaxedsolution,”ProfessorEnockbe relaxed, the analysissaidcarelessly,„the Riemann hypothesisis8 thaskedin the final analysis, buthas coveredunderZeta(s )functionsystem that I who Hilbert23askedestablished. Itlike‚rhinocero’Tyson, is invinciblein the arena.”
“当然,也能很轻松的解决,”伊诺克教授语气轻松,胡乱分析道,“黎曼猜想归根结底是希尔伯特23问的第八问,但已经笼罩在我建立的ζ(s)函数体系之下。它就像‘犀牛’泰森,在擂台上是无敌的。”
The studentscreate a disturbance saying: „ProfessorEnock, was the timesolvesthisproblem.”
学生起哄道:“伊诺克教授,是时候去解决这个问题了。”„Timeappropriatetime, Iwill considerto leave the mountain, butnow is also not the time. Remember, my children, the truepowerhouse'stosolvingspecificproblemare not interested, hedisdainsto act, becausethatis the matter that Gauss, Eulerthiskind of second-classmathematiciandoes,”ProfessorEnockbeckons with the hand, „ok, thisclassended. The work that yougo backisto hand over a paper, the subject of paperbases onmyZeta(s )functionsystem, proves the Goldbach's conjecture.”
“时机合适的时候,我会考虑出山,但现在还不是时候。记住,我的孩子们,真正的强者对解决具体的问题不感兴趣,他都不屑出手,因为那都是高斯、欧拉这类二流数学家干的事情,”伊诺克教授摆了摆手,“好了,这堂课结束了。你们回去的作业是交一篇论文上来,论文的主题就是基于我的ζ(s)函数体系,证明哥德巴赫猜想。”„Methodhas givenyou, believesto you, thisis very easy.”
“方法已经交给你们了,相信对你们来说,这很容易。”In the classroom a pieceis filled with sufferers, onegroup of studentsgrab the hair, looking at each other in blank dismay, on the faceis the painfulexpression.
教室里一片哀鸿遍野,一群学生们抓着头发,面面相觑,脸上都是痛苦的表情。ProfessorEnock the paperwas too difficultto understand, althoughtheyverylikedlistening toProfessorEnockto tell the story, but the workwill makethemrack brainseach time.
伊诺克教授教授的论文太难看懂了,虽然他们挺喜欢听伊诺克教授讲故事的,但每次作业都会让他们绞尽脑汁。
The feelingmoodrestoredmuch, ProfessorEnockwas well satisfiedto receive the lesson plan, preparedto walktoward the office.
感觉心情恢复了不少,伊诺克教授心满意足得收起了教案,准备往办公室走去。Howeverat this moment, hesaw a Caucasianin the entrance, and department head of Giddyfederationuniversitymath department.
然而就在这时,他在门口看到了一位白人,以及埃基蒂联邦大学数学系的系主任。„ProfessorEnock, thismisterfrom US, wantsto chat the matteraboutRiemann hypothesiswithyou,”is patting the shoulder of ProfessorEnock, thisblack personold manis all smile, evencansayflatters, lowered the soundbyhim, „displayswell.”
“伊诺克教授,这位来自美国的先生,想和你聊聊关于黎曼猜想的事情,”拍着伊诺克教授的肩膀,这位黑人老头满脸堆笑,甚至可以说讨好,在他旁边压低了声音,“好好表现。”Naturally, heflattersis notProfessorEnock, butis1 milliondollars.
当然,他讨好的不是伊诺克教授,而是一百万美金。Tothissmall country, thissum of moneywithout doubtis a great sum of money.
对于这个小国来说,这笔钱无疑是一笔巨款。Before thenno onebelievesthisteaches the theory of numbersproved the Riemann hypothesis, after particularly " Daily Mail » reportercameno longerto comeonetime .
在此之前没有人相信这个教数论的证明了黎曼猜想,尤其是《每日邮报》的记者来过一次就不再来了之后。Butnow, Americanreportercame tohere.
但现在,美国记者来了这里。Perhaps, did Clay Institutereallyaccepthispaper?
也许,克雷研究所真的接受了他的论文?InNigeria, AmericanandEnglish, althoughis a Caucasian, butformer'spositionslightlyhigha little, particularlyaftersomeblack personbecomes the president, therehad even been exaggeratedbecame the heaven.
在尼日利亚的社会中,美国人和英国人虽然都是白人,但前者的地位稍稍高那么一点,尤其是在某个黑人当上总统之后,那里甚至已经被夸大成了天堂。IfClay Institutereallyaccepted the paper of ProfessorEnock, hewill become„the top dog”without a doubt, said that does not permitalsoto have the opportunityimmigrationUS, when the time comesrefers toerratically must rely uponthisbrothers......
如果克雷研究所真的接受了伊诺克教授的论文,那他毫无疑问会成为“人上人”,说不准还有机会移民美国,到时候指不定还得仰仗这位兄弟……Not onlyNigeria, thisis the entireAfricafillsthistype„to fleethought”, particularly received the true sense the person of educationregardingtheirthese.
不只是尼日利亚,这是整个非洲都弥漫着这种“逃离思想”,尤其是对于他们这些受过真正意义上教育的人。ProfessorEnocknoticed that the presentAmericangawked, had not been fooledactuallyequallytosidethatblack personold man, butknits the brows, „are you?”
伊诺克教授看到眼前的美国人愣了一下,倒是没有向旁边那位黑人老头一样被唬住,而是皱了皱眉,“你是?”„Introduced oneself, Iwas " Washington Times » reporter, youcancallmyRaalte,”Raaltebore the temperto squeeze outoneto seem like not thatfalsesmiling face, andextended the right hand, „Iwantsto chatwithyouabout the Riemann hypothesis, when did youlookconveniently?”
“自我介绍一下,我是《华盛顿时报》的记者,你可以叫我拉尔特,”拉尔特耐着性子挤出一个看起来不那么虚伪的笑容,并且伸出了右手,“关于黎曼猜想我想和你聊聊,你看什么时候方便?”Ifforthatflash news, hedoes not wantto treatsimplyhere. Heis unable to believe that sinceheleaves the airporttohere, hehad been extorted70,000naira......, althoughis onlyseveral hundredUS dollarsmatter, butmakeshimquitehotbig.
如果不是为了那个大新闻,他简直一刻也不想在这里多待。他无法相信,从他离开机场到这里,他已经被勒索了七万奈拉……虽然只是几百美元的事情,但还是让他相当火大。Hepledged,thisishecomes tohereto travel on official businessfor the last time.
他发誓,这是他最后一次来这里出差。ProfessorEnocksized upRaalteoneeyesup and down, saiddiscretely: „...... Myoffice.”
伊诺克教授上下打量了拉尔特一眼,谨慎地说道:“……我的办公室就可以。”
The office of ProfessorEnockis very chaotic, has not obviously passed throughhandles, the sockevenlosesin the textbook . Moreover the textbookhad obviously fallen the ash, evenis also hanging the spider web.
伊诺克教授的办公室很乱,明显没有经过打理,袜子甚至就那么丢在课本上,而且课本明显已经落了灰,甚至还挂着蜘蛛网。Raalteknits the brows, finallyfoundappropriateplacestopping overto stand, clears throat, said.
拉尔特皱了皱眉,终于找到一个合适的地方落脚站着,清了清嗓子,说道。„Matteristhis, wefind, 15year-endtime, yousent a letter/believestoClay Institute, claimed that proved the Riemann hypothesis. Butaccording to " Daily Mail » interview, Clay Institutehas no commenttoyourpaper. Weunderstood after yoursituation, immediatelyfollows upthismatter......”
“事情是这样的,我们了解到,15年年底的时候,您向克雷研究所寄了一封信,声称证明了黎曼猜想。但根据《每日邮报》的采访,克雷研究所对你的论文不予置评。我们了解到你的情况之后,立刻跟进了这件事情……”Saton the chair, ProfessorEnocksuspected that looks atRaalte, obviouslydoes not believe that hecanhelp itselfget so far as1 millionUS dollarsbonus, „mypapercanseeonarxiv why youcanmake a special trip to a Nigeria?”
坐在了椅子上,伊诺克教授怀疑地看着拉尔特,显然不相信他能帮自己弄到一百万美元的奖金,“我的论文在arxiv上就能看到,你为什么要专程来一趟尼日利亚?”Raaltesaidsincerely: „Iplanto helpyour.”
拉尔特诚恳地说道:“我打算帮你一把。”„Helpsmy?”ProfessorEnockrubbed the nose, „youmight as welldirectlymoneytome......”
“帮我一把?”伊诺克教授揉了揉鼻子,“你不如直接把钱给我……”„It is not the issue of money, don't youfeelveryindignant?”Raalteis staring atProfessorEnock, expects too muchsaid,„Iheard the tailyourclassa moment agofrom the beginning, Ithought that you are a veryoutstandingmathematician, butsomepeoplebecause ofyourskin color, neglectedyourachievement. ObviouslyRussian, FrenchPeruvian, evenis the Chinaperson, obtained the approval of academic circle, butyou, were excludedonly!”
“不是钱的问题,你难道不觉得很气愤吗?”拉尔特盯着伊诺克教授,恨铁不成钢地说道,“我刚才将你的课从头听到尾,我觉得你是一个很出色的数学家,但有些人因为你的肤色,忽视了你的成果。明明俄罗斯人,法国籍的秘鲁人,甚至是华国人,都得到了学术界的认可,但唯独你,被排除在外!”
The expression of ProfessorEnockis somewhat strange.
伊诺克教授的表情有些怪异。Becausethissayingspoke that listenstohim, unexpectedlyis a Caucasian.
因为将这话说给他听的,竟然是一位白人。However, thisreportertrulysuccessfullyshoulderedhisanger.
不过,这位记者确实成功挑起了他的怒火。Yes, healsosubmitted a piece of writingobviouslyonarxivoneselfproof, whyhispaperthrew into„generalmath” the classificationnobody will ask.
是的,明明他也将自己的证明投稿到了arxiv上,凭什么他的论文被扔进了“一般数学”的分类无人问津。Raalteis staring athiseye, whilewinning the pursuitsaid: „Ionlyaskedyoura few words, youcanguarantee that inRiemann hypothesistenablesituation, completed the proof of Goldbach's conjecture?”
拉尔特盯着他的眼睛,趁胜追击道:“我只问你一句话,你能确保在黎曼猜想成立的情况下,完成哥德巴赫猜想的证明吗?”„Naturally,”ProfessorEnocksaidwithout hesitation,„thisis very easy.”
“当然,”伊诺克教授毫不犹豫道,“这很容易。”Raaltehit a soundto refer, „ok, Iwill solve the issue of airplane ticketandvisaforyou, simultaneouslyyourexpensesall the way, the Washington Postwill also reimburseyour......”
拉尔特打了个响指,“ok,我会为你解决机票和签证的问题,同时你一路上的开销,《华盛顿邮报》也会报销你的……”„wait!”ProfessorEnockstoppedRaalte'sthread of conversation, „Ihave not understood that yourmeaning, actually do youwantto do?!”
“等等!”伊诺克教授打住了拉尔特的话头,“我没明白你的意思,你究竟想干什么?!”Raalte: „Wewill arrange a public lectureinPrincetonforyou, reported that about the Riemann hypothesis that youprove, as well asunderthatwhatfunctionsystem, solvesa series ofprime numberproblemswith ease...... for example, Goldbach's conjecture.”
拉尔特:“我们会在普林斯顿为你安排一场报告会,报告关于你证明的黎曼猜想,以及在那个什么函数体系之下,轻松地解决一系列素数问题……比如,哥德巴赫猜想。”Naturally, in the No. 1lecture hall of higherresearch instituteisimpossible, nearbyPrincetonHotelis indifferent. So long astheredisburses money, wantsto wrap for severaldaysnot to have the issue, in factmanyacademic conferencesopenin the hotel.
当然,在高等研究院的一号报告厅是不可能的,不过旁边的普林斯顿酒店却无所谓。那里只要出钱,想包几天都没问题,事实上很多学术会议本身就是在酒店里开的。AfterRaaltehas said his donors in ideaandSouth Korea, that sidethenhitmoneyquickly.
当拉尔特将自己的想法和韩国的金主说过之后,那边很快便把钱打了过来。RegardingComradeSun Myung-moon, canmakeChinanot be seriousimportantly, so long ascan the disgustingneighboring country, beplathrowstoward„balloon”, he can also carryto make an issue.
对于文鲜明同志来说,能不能让华国当一回事儿不重要,只要能恶心一下邻国,就是pla往海里扔个“气球”,他也能拎出来做点文章。„waitwait, was too quick, Ihave not understood that yourmeaning, do youletmeatPrinceopening suddenlypublic lecture?”Somelooktwinkles of ProfessorEnock.
“等等等等,太快了,我还没明白你的意思,你让我在普林斯顿开报告会?”伊诺克教授的眼神有些闪烁。
The papercontributionismatter, butappears on stageto report that was a different matter, simply speaking, heis not bestto prepare.
论文投稿是一回事儿,但上台报告又是另一回事了,简单来说,他还没有最好准备。„Yes,”Raaltecorners of the mouthtwisted the mouth sidewise a happy expression.
“是的,”拉尔特嘴角咧开了一丝笑意。Was staringbythateye, ProfessorEnockwantsto reject, actuallysays, finallyswallowed a spit.
被那眼睛盯着,伊诺克教授想要拒绝,却又说不出口,最终咽了口吐沫。Thisperson, simplyis the devil......
这个人,简直是魔鬼……Silentwas very long, hethinkscarefully,as ifalsohas no losstohim. TeachesinNigeriais not the promisingoccupation, is bad, he can also takethisopportunity, seizes the chance„black” there.
沉默了很久,他仔细想了想,对他似乎也没什么损失。在尼日利亚教书并不是什么有前途的职业,再不济,他还能借这个机会,趁机“黑”在那里。
The line of sightmoves out of the way, Enockclears throat, said.
视线挪开,伊诺克清了清嗓子,说道。„Ineed a timepreparation......”
“我需要一点时间准备……”Raalteasksimmediately: „How long?”
拉尔特立刻问道:“多久?”Enockprobeswas saying: „Threemonths.”
伊诺克试探着说道:“三个月。”„Was too long,”Raalteshakes the head, „timenotand the others, after the detailyoucanremain, supplemented. Listening, meis not requestingyouto convince the professor in Princeton, youonlyneedto convince the legal people of someblack personrightsprotection organizations, as well astheirbacksponsors, are paying attention to the congressman of thismatter.”
“太长了,”拉尔特摇了摇头,“时间可不等人,细节你可以留到以后补充。听着,我不要求你说服普林斯顿的教授,你只需要说服一些黑人权益保护组织的法人,以及他们背后的赞助者,还有一些关注着这件事的议员。”„Good, how longyouwantmy,”Enockis digging out the scalp, saidhot tempered,„yougivemetime.”
“好吧,你要我多久,”伊诺克抠着头皮,暴躁地说道,“你给我一个时间。”Raalteraised upthreefingers: „Mostthreedays.”
拉尔特竖起了三根指头:“最多三天。”Enockwantsnot to wantthento decline saying: „Thisis impossible!”
伊诺克想也不想便拒绝道:“这不可能!”At least, he must wait tillhisstudentto hand over the work.
至少,他也得等到他的学生把作业交上来。Threedays, regardless ofalsoto be how insufficient.
三天的时间,无论如何也不够。Raalteraised up a fingerunemotionally: „10,000US dollars.”
拉尔特面无表情地竖起了一根指头:“一万美元。”Enockwantsnot to sayimmediately: „Deal!”
伊诺克想也不想立刻说道:“成交!”
