Although the awards ceremony of Crafoord Prize had ended, but the celebration about Crafoord Prize, actually just started. 克拉福德奖的颁奖典礼虽然已经结束,但关于克拉福德奖的庆祝活动,却才刚刚开始。 After the awards ceremony ended, Lu Zhou goes out from the main entrance of Stockholm Music Theatre, is preparing to ride the entrance private car, goes to nearby Stockholm city hall. 颁奖典礼结束之后,陆舟从斯德哥尔摩音乐厅的正门走出,正准备坐上门口的专车,前往附近的斯德哥尔摩市政厅。 However appears in the entrance flash, the ambush for a long time reporters then closes, various types of microphones and lens collected. 然而就在他出现在门口的一瞬间,埋伏已久的记者们便一拥而上,各种话筒和镜头都凑了上来。 Saw only an appearance beautiful reporter little elder sister to snatch in front, asked rapidly. 只见一位模样姣好的记者小姐姐抢在了前面,迅速问道。 Hello, Mr. Lu Zhou, I am the ctv reporter, can I under the interview you?” “您好,陆舟先生,我是ctv的记者,请问我可以采访下您吗?” ctv? ctv? Lu Zhou does not want to be interviewed, but ctv must certainly give a face. 原本陆舟不是很想接受采访的,不过ctv当然还是得给一点面子的。 After all, definitely reported directly. 毕竟,肯定是正面报道。 Looks at this young press woman, Lu Zhou replies benignly: Sure.” 看着这位年轻的女记者,陆舟和颜悦色地回答道:“当然可以。” This press woman smiles, asked: China record/native place scholar who wins this/should prize as the first place, how is your present mood? What feelings has?” 这位女记者抿嘴一笑,问道:“作为首位获得该奖的华国籍学者,请问您现在的心情是怎样的?有什么感想吗?” Excited and joyful, as well as thanks......” “激动、喜悦、以及感谢……” Lu Zhou stopped the moment , to oneself who he can think has the name of help to thank. 陆舟停顿了片刻,把他能想到的、对自己有过帮助的名字都谢了一遍。 The reporter little elder sister continues to ask: We know, the Goldbach's conjecture is one of the theory of numbers imperial crowns, Chen Jingrun with 1 + 2 the story had also boosted one generation of China scholars' enthusiasm to math. Now this building is sealed the vault by you finally, but the significance of many people's to solving 1 + 1 issue hold as before puzzled. Then to you, what is the significance of math?” 记者小姐姐继续问道:“我们都知道,哥德巴赫猜想是数论界的皇冠之一,陈景润与‘1+2’的故事也曾经鼓舞过一代华国学子对数学的热情。现在这座大厦最终由您封上穹顶,而很多人对解决‘1+1’问题的意义依旧抱有困惑。那么请问对于您来说,数学的意义是什么?” Lu Zhou does not have direct reaction this issue, but was thinking a moment later, suddenly asked the sentence: You thought that what the significance of science is?” 陆舟没有直接回答这个问题,而是在思索了片刻之后,忽然开口问了句:“你觉得科学的意义是什么?” The reporter has not thought that Lu Zhou will ask back suddenly, smiles, replied smoothly: I thought that should changes the world, all wealth that the modern society has, establish in the breakthrough of science and technology.” 记者没想到陆舟会突然反问,不过莞尔一笑,流畅地回答道:“我觉得应该是改变世界,现代社会所拥有的一切财富,都是建立在科学技术的突破上。” The Lu Zhou applause nods. 陆舟赞许点了点头。 Good, this reporter a little horizontal. 不错,这个记者有点水平。 At least compared with before him that several that has had to do have the level. 至少比他以前打过交道的那几个有水平。 Therefore, he is also glad to talk with such reporter very much. 所以,他也很乐意和这样的记者交谈。 What is the significance of math? 数学的意义是什么? To install to compel merely? 仅仅是为了装逼吗? Of course not. 当然不是。 Even if may produce in the process a little, but Lu Zhou felt, to him that like by -product of chemical reaction, is not main. 即便在过程中可能会产生那么一点,但陆舟觉得,对他来说那就像化学反应的副产物一样,并非主要的。 It seems the mathematician is quite generally charming, but charming is not his math good reason. 就好像数学家一般都比较帅气,但帅气并不是他数学好的原因。 As for the mathematical purest significance...... 至于数学最纯粹的意义…… In front of the innumerable lens, Lu Zhou smiles, said to her. 在无数镜头面前,陆舟笑了笑,对她说道。 You said right, scientific significance with the change world.” “你说的没错,科学的意义在与改变世界。” However the significance of math, lies in the change science.” “而数学的意义,在于改变科学。” ...... …… Just like the Nobel prize, after the awards ceremony of Crafoord Prize ended, building Banquet hall blue hall of a grand celebration banquet in Stockholm city hall is held. 与诺贝尔奖一样,克拉福德奖的颁奖典礼结束之后,还有一场盛大的庆祝宴会在斯德哥尔摩市政厅的一楼宴会大厅蓝厅举行。 Including Swedish king and queen, and many scientists of academy of science, everyone is assemble, in the cordial atmosphere, shares the beauty of science. 包括瑞典国王和王后、以及科学院的众多科学家在内,所有人共聚一堂,在热烈的气氛中,分享科学之美。 From this significance, the Crafoord Prize looks like the preview of Nobel prize simply, wants to let miss the Nobel prize mathematician probably a little later the Nobel prize addiction. 从这层意义上来说,克拉福德奖简直就像是诺贝尔奖的预演,大概是想让无缘诺贝尔奖的数学家过一过诺贝尔奖的瘾。 In order to let this award item completes to set up its original intention, at least in the specification of banquet, Swedish Imperial Family Academy of science comes according to the specification of Nobel prize. 为了让这个奖项完成设立它的初衷,至少在宴会的规格上,瑞典皇家科学院是照着诺贝尔奖的规格来的。 For example, before the banquet starts, keeps secret the food in banquet absolutely. 比如,在宴会开始之前,绝对保密宴会上的菜肴。 For example, the situation of banquet and dance party separates strictly, eats meal in the blue hall, the dance party in the gold/metal hall. And stipulated that the seat of everyone, is fixed...... this and English and American of academic conference present mainstream, many differences. 比如,宴会和舞会的场合严格分开,吃饭在蓝厅,舞会在金厅。并且规定每个人的座位,都是固定的……这与现在主流的英式、美式学术会议,多少都有些区别。 Before the banquet formally starts, Lu Zhou bumped into many acquaintances, 11 greet. 在宴会正式开始之前,陆舟碰到了不少熟人,也都一一打了招呼。 For example Schultz, for example Herve Cott...... 比如舒尔茨,比如赫尔夫科特…… Was away from too far or the research too busy possibility cannot come, the scholar but who the mathematical scholar in Europe, studied the prime number direction particularly, can come basically came. 隔着太远或者研究太忙的可能来不了,但欧洲的数学学者,尤其是研究素数方向的学者,能来的基本上都来了。 Actually Lu Zhou discovered, the academic conference participates were many, the circle of mathematician that greatly, if again precise to some direction, which big cows there are even to break off the finger to count to come out. 其实陆舟发现,学术会议参加的多了,数学家的圈子就那么大点,如果再精确到某个方向,有哪些大牛甚至掰着指头都能数出来。 However the appearance of big shot, is actually unexpected regarding Lu Zhou. 不过有一位大佬的出现,对于陆舟来说倒是意料之外。 This person is Faltings, the algebra Geometry study domain big cow. 这个人便是法尔廷斯,代数几何学领域的大牛。 His name, once left behind a legend in Princeton. 他的名字,曾经在普林斯顿留下了一段传奇。 Reason that said was once, because 94 years later, worked as him about ten years of professor in Princeton, then returned to the German hometown. 之所以说是曾经,因为从94年之后,在普林斯顿当了将近十年教授的他,便返回了德国故乡。 As for the present, he is the manager of Max Planck math research institute, is the mathematics circles four big go against of «Math Invention» publications( i female entiones) the editor-in-chief. 至于现在,他已经是马克斯普朗克数学研究所的所长,同时也是数学界四大顶刊之一《数学发明》(i女entiones)的主编。 Although MPI does not have Princeton is so famous, but it also quite goes near in ranking of the world study organization. Especially in Physics and engineering domain, MPI is conducting a very flamboyant project low-key, but does not raise now for the time being. 虽然马普所没有普林斯顿那么出名,但其在世界研究机构的排名中也是相当靠前。尤其是在物理学和工程学领域,马普所正在低调进行一个很牛逼的项目,但现在暂且不提。 Compares has Charles Fefferman of in addition humbly, Faltings germanic people proud, leaves behind the legend that is not inferior in Princeton in the achievement that the math achieves. 相比起谦逊有加的查尔斯・费弗曼,法尔廷斯的“日耳曼人式自负”,在普林斯顿留下的传奇丝毫不逊色于其在数学取得的成就。 It is said once he plays chess with( Princeton theory of numbers big cow that Peter Sagnak preamble mentioned), finally lost. The venerable was unhurriedly, left behind one by the lines that countless natives of Princeton loved to talk about: You-are-better-on-hess , but-i'm-a-muh-better-mathematian.” 据说有一次他和彼得・萨纳克(前文提到的普林斯顿数论大牛)下棋,结果输了。老先生不慌不忙,留下了一句被无数普林斯顿人津津乐道的台词:“you-are-better-on-hess,but-i'm-a-muh-better-mathematian.” The straightforward point transliteration is: Your chess gets down well, but my math hangs compared with you. 直白点的意译就是:你棋下得不错,但我数学比你吊。 In brief, this Germanic old man is uncompanionable, but he really also has the proud capital. After all after Grothendieck passes away, the throne of algebra Geometry study does not say now, must give the history to judge. But can struggle with him, probably also on Grothendieck's outstanding disciple Deligne. 总之,这位日耳曼老头非常难以相处,不过他确实也有骄傲的资本。毕竟格罗滕迪克仙逝之后,代数几何学的皇位现在不好说,得交给历史去判断。但能和他争一下的,大概也就格罗滕迪克的高徒德利涅了。 As for Lu Zhou and his only happening together, probably is that paper about Goldbach's conjecture proof. As one of the six reviewers, Venerable Faltings has then offered two corrections . Moreover the angle is quite cunning. 至于陆舟和他唯一的交集,大概便是那篇关于哥德巴赫猜想证明的论文。作为六位审稿人之一,法尔廷斯老先生一人便给出过两次修改意见,而且角度相当刁钻。 Has to acknowledge, this venerable's ability in mathematics and to math rigorous truly makes one admire. Although that revised Lu Zhou successfully to complete twice very much, but also spent a time in this period very much. 不得不承认,这位老先生的数学能力和对数学的严谨确实让人佩服。虽然那两次修改陆舟都很顺利的完成了,但其间也算是很下了一番工夫。 Moreover what is quite skillful, this venerable's seat, happen to then in his side. 而且比较巧的是,这位老先生的座位,正好便在他的旁边。 Most makes Lu Zhou be what is surprised, when he was considering must disturb the elderly man dines, Faltings puts out a hand to take up the champagne, actually talked to him on own initiative. 最让陆舟感到意外的是,就在他考虑着要不要打扰老人家用餐的时候,法尔廷斯伸手拿起了香槟,竟然主动向他搭话了。 Congratulates you to win the Crafoord Prize, Professor Lu Zhou.” “恭喜你获得克拉福德奖,陆舟教授。” Thanks!” “谢谢!” When deeply feels is surprised, Lu Zhou and this venerable gently touched a cup. 深感惊讶之余,陆舟和这位老先生轻轻碰了个杯。 A champagne, saw only this Germanic old Vung Tau gracefully , to continue to say leisurely. 优雅地品了口香槟,只见这位日耳曼老头顿了顿,慢条斯理地继续说道。 „A month ago, in today's mathematician only then three exceed me hopefully. Now I changed the previous view, is four, is not three.” “一个月之前,当今的数学家中只有三位有希望超越我。现在我改变了先前的看法,是四个,不是三个。” Hears these words, the champagne that Lu Zhou just had almost not been drunk choking. 听到这句话,陆舟差点没被刚喝进去的香槟给呛到。 F*ck! 握草 Actually is this praising the person to install to compel? 这究竟是在夸人还是在装逼? The feeling bumped into the opponent...... 感觉碰到对手了……
