Princeton University, library. 普林斯顿大学,图书馆。 …… …… Lies on the table, Hardy has a headache is pressing the forehead, the sound pain shouted to shout low voice. 趴在桌子上,哈迪头疼地按着眉心,声音痛苦的小声嚷嚷道。 „That person simply is a devil, is this basic impossible mission...... really has human to handle these things in one and a half months?” “那个人简直是个魔鬼,这是个根本不可能完成的任务……真的有人类能在一个半月的时间里搞定这些东西吗？” Piles before him, enough six reference books, including „entry-level” Hardy's «Theory of numbers Guiding», there are Dirichlet's from the shallow to the deep «Theory of numbers Printed lecture». Not only the thing of theory of numbers, about functional analysis, algebra Geometry and differential analysis situs and so on thing. 堆在他面前的,足足有六本参考书,其中有“入门级”的哈代的《数论导引》,也有由浅入深的狄利克雷的《数论讲义》。不只是数论的东西,还有关于泛函分析、代数几何、微分拓扑之类的东西。 Although before coming to here, considering the name of this teacher, Hardy has made massive preparing a lesson, has not actually thought that just stepped over this leafed door, has so magnanimous study duty to wait for him. 虽然在来这里之前,考虑到这位导师的名字,哈迪有做过大量的预习,却也没想到刚一迈过这扇门,就有如此海量的学习任务等着他。 Also he made a preparation luckily, otherwise currently estimates that cannot trace the gate. 也幸亏他做了点准备,否则现在估计连门都摸不到。 Sat is calmer in Hardy opposite Qin Yue, had not at least pondered „can complete” this type with the issue that the division/discipline had nothing to do with, very earnestly the literature that coordinated to print, is studying hand «Theory of numbers Printed lecture». 坐在哈迪对面的秦岳则淡定很多,至少并没有去思考“能不能完成”这种与学科无关的问题,很认真地配合着打印下来的文献,研究着手中的《数论讲义》。 Although he flips through the book the speed not to have Hardy to be quick, but wins is lasting. 虽然他翻书的速度没有哈迪快,但胜在持久。 From start to the present, has almost not stopped. 从开始到现在,几乎没有停下来过。 Sighed, Hardy totally gave up, had a headache asks. 叹了口气,哈迪彻底放弃了,头疼地问道。 „Qin, were your China professors so terrifying?” “秦,你们华国的教授都这么恐怖吗？” Qin Yue: „Terrifying?” 秦岳:“恐怖？” Hardy nods earnestly: „Right, I in Brazil, the mathematical result am our high school first, everyone thinks that I am the talent. Arrived Columbia University, I saw much compared with the person of my talent, but the thing in curriculum still is very to me easy, even does not need to spend the time to complete specially with ease.” 哈迪认真地点了点头:“没错,我在巴西的时候,数学成绩一直是我们高中的第一,所有人都认为我是天才。到了哥伦比亚大学,比我天才的人我见到不少,但课程内的东西对我来说依然很容易,甚至不用特别花时间就能轻松完成。” At this point, Hardy dejectedly sighed: „However to here, I even started to suspect the life......” 说到这里,哈迪沮丧地叹了口气:“然而到了这里,我甚至开始怀疑人生……” Qin Yue does not know how should comfort this young fellow, pushed the eyeglasses, smiles to say embarrassed: „Because possibly here is Princeton?” 秦岳也不知道该如何安慰这位小伙子,推了推眼镜,不好意思笑了笑说道:“可能因为这里是普林斯顿？” To be honest, opens the big professor so is not strict. 说实话,开大的教授没有这么严格。 However for four years he crosses, poured also on be used. 不过四年来他都是这么过的,倒也就习惯了。 „The professors in Princeton are absolutely impossible is so strict, I had asked yesterday and I played the soccer together Senior, Professor Lu Zhou absolutely was a case.” Hardy shakes the head, stopped the moment, what suddenly thought , a face asked earnestly, „said, Qin, I noticed you to start to read the second itself, what skill did you have? Said before you, has studied these things?” “普林斯顿的教授绝对不可能这么严格,我问过了昨天和我一起踢足球的学长,陆舟教授绝对是个例。”哈迪摇了摇头,停顿了片刻,忽然想到了什么,一脸认真地问道,“说起来,秦,我注意到你已经开始看第二本,你有什么技巧吗？还是说你以前有研究过这些东西？” „No,” Qin Yue shakes the head, „I also the first time am contacted these things.” “没有,”秦岳摇了摇头,“我也是第一次接触这些东西。” Most is like him, before has made similar preparing a lesson. 最多和他一样,在来之前做过类似的预习。 Hardy said with the unbelievable tone: „This is impossible! wait, should you not the bedroom also, actually God...... your day how many time flowers in the study?” 哈迪用难以置信的语气说道:“这不可能！等等,你该不会回了寝室还在,上帝……你一天究竟把多少时间花在学习上？” Qin Yue thinks, replied: „Besides eating meal and sleeping?” 秦岳想了想,回答道:“除了吃饭和睡觉之外？” Hardy: „......” 哈迪:“……” The topic seemed to have no way to work...... 话题似乎没法进行下去了…… ...... …… One and half months handles six books, truly has very big difficulty, when issues this duty, Lu Zhou actually is also clear about this. 一个半月的时间搞定六本书,确实存在很大难度,而在布置这个任务的时候,陆舟其实也清楚这点。 Therefore, he when gives oneself student to make the training plan, expectation effect also establishment is not very high. Namely, so long as they can knowledge node digestion half, then be able to be pass. 所以,他在给自己的学生制定培养计划的时候,将预期效果也设置的不算很高。即,只要他们能够将其中的知识点消化一半,便可以算是过关了。 As for the remaining knowledge nodes and already consolidation of knowledge grasps with the strengthening, can study when the participation concrete research subject slowly. 至于剩下的知识点和已经掌握的知识的巩固与强化,可以在参与具体的研究课题时慢慢学习。 After all the thing on books has certain hysteresis quality, to put it bluntly is used to cross the threshold, related to the research of frontier, the material of reference basically is the literature of peer, the thing on books uses instead will be quite few. 毕竟书本上的东西存在一定的滞后性,说穿了只是用来入门的,涉及到前沿领域的研究,参考的资料基本上都是同行的文献,书本上的东西用到的反而会比较少。 What Lu Zhou has not thought that after August crossed was less than one week, some people finished ahead of schedule oneself duty. 只是陆舟没有想到的是,进入八月份之后才过了不到一个星期,就有人提前完成了自己的任务。 After learning of this news, his mood, cannot describe with surprised. 在得知了这个消息之后,他的心情,已经不能用惊讶来形容了。 But is pleasantly surprised...... 而是惊喜…… It seems like he picks the treasure. 看来他是捡到宝了。 „...... Your talent is surprising, I think these ten wrote you to make five is four is very even good, it seems like it was I looks down on you.” “……你的天赋令人惊讶,我原本以为这十道题你能做出来五道甚至是四道就已经很不错了,看来是我小瞧你了。” In that examination paper from the hand moved out of the way the line of sight, Lu Zhou looked that to stood in his desk opposite Vera, in the expression fills the accident/surprise. 从手中那份试卷上挪开了视线,陆舟看向了站在他办公桌对面的薇拉,表情中充满意外。 The test question is he leaves, carrying the answer is impossible. Although ten problems are not the specially difficult thing, but can do completely right, the knowledge nodes that in that six book she will have arranged without a doubt had a thorough understanding completely. 试题都是他自己出的,背答案是不可能的。十道题虽然不是什么特别难的东西,但能全部做对,毫无疑问她已经将自己布置的那六本书中的知识点完全吃透了。 Suddenly obtained the praise, Vera somewhat smiles shyly, said modestly. 突然得到了夸奖,薇拉有些腼腆地笑了笑,谦虚说道。 „You give my four books in that book list, I when Berkeley Branch school have read, possibly is the luck is quite good.” “您给我的那份书单中的四本书,我在伯克利分校的时候已经读过,可能是运气比较好吧。” „This is not the luck good issue,” Lu Zhou placed on the side of the test question paper the table, smiles was saying, „congratulates you through my inspection, from now on, you have become one of my topic-based group!” “这不是运气好的问题,”陆舟将试题纸放在了桌子一边,微笑着说道,“恭喜你通过我的考核,从现在开始,你已经成为我课题组的一员！” On Vera's face appeared the joyful smiling face, this is she is long-awaited. 薇拉的脸上浮现了喜悦的笑容,这正是她梦寐以求的。 Stopped the moment, Lu Zhou continued saying: „The mail about topic content, I will send to your mailbox. Although will apply to open the topic to September officially, but you can first take under the issue ponder these days. This is a very interesting proposition, believes that you will be interested.” 停顿了片刻,陆舟继续说道:“关于课题内容的邮件,我会发到你邮箱里。虽然到9月份才会正式申请开题,但这段时间你可以先拿着问题思考下。这是个很有意思的命题,相信你会感兴趣。” Vera nods earnestly, tail of that golden single ponytail squirrel results in likely is rocking gently. 薇拉认真地点了点头,那金色的单马尾像松鼠的尾巴似得轻轻晃动着。 „I knew, what matter but also there is?” “我知道了,还有什么事情吗？” Lu Zhou shakes the head, said: „Did not have, you can first go back.” 陆舟摇了摇头,说道:“没有了,你可以先回去了。” Took in the book bag own thing, Vera happy and Lu Zhou said the sound sees again, turns around to walk toward the office. 将自己的东西收进了书包,薇拉心情愉快地和陆舟道了声再见,转身向办公室外走去。 Looks that slightly is frail the thin and small back, Lu Zhou thinks suddenly a matter, says. 看着那略显单薄瘦小的背影,陆舟忽然想起来一件事情,开口说道。 „Right, a matter.” “对了,还有一件事。” Vera who gets to the entrance stopped the footsteps, then threw the puzzled line of sight to Lu Zhou. 走到门口的薇拉停下了脚步,回头向陆舟投去了困惑的视线。 „My view possibly a little takes the liberty, hopes that do not mind,” opened the drawer, Lu Zhou took out a document from inside, placed on the table gently, „I understood that your economic situation was not quite possibly good, therefore inquired a matter of scholarship from Princeton University. This material you take to fill, best tomorrow will be gives me, I will help you apply.” “我的说法可能有点冒昧,希望你不要介意,”拉开抽屉,陆舟从里面取出了一份文件,轻轻放在桌上,“我了解到你的经济状况可能不太好,所以从普林斯顿大学那边打听了一下奖学金的事情。这份材料你拿回去填一下,最好是明天给我,我会帮你申请。” The scholarship of doctor is quite relatively easy to attain, but the scholarship of master, the entire prize, is very particularly difficult to attain. 博士的奖学金相对比较容易拿到,但硕士的奖学金,尤其是全奖,是很难拿到的。 Generally speaking, only if with a very flamboyant teacher, or attains very flamboyant letter of recommendation, otherwise most also wins half prize. 一般来说,除非是跟了一个很牛逼的导师,或者是拿到很牛逼的推荐信,否则最多也就拿个半奖。 Especially in Princeton this place, the flamboyant person stresses one in a big way, moreover is one by one flamboyant, the competition cannot describe with the frigid word simply. 尤其是在普林斯顿这种地方,牛逼的人一抓一大把,而且一个比一个牛逼,竞争简直已经不能用惨烈一词来形容了。 Looks that pair filled surprisedly with the pupil that cannot believe that Lu Zhou stopped the moment, continued to say. 看着那双充满了惊讶与不敢相信的眸子,陆舟停顿了片刻,继续说道。 „Hopes that do not delay the studies because of the economic burden, particularly do not go to the fast-food restaurant and so on place wash basin, acts as the cheap labor. I did not mean that this has anything is not good, but hopes that you remember forever, your knowledge is you maximum wealth. If the entire prize is insufficient, I can help you apply for a concurrent job of teaching assistant, starts from some basic work.” “希望你不要因为经济负担而耽误了学业,尤其是不要去快餐店之类的地方洗盘子,充当廉价劳动力。我不是说这有什么不好,只是希望你永远记住,你的知识才是你最大的财富。如果全奖还不够的话,我可以帮你申请一份助教的兼职,从一些基本的工作做起。” Received that material from the hand of Lu Zhou, Vera lowered the head, for a long time has not spoken. 从陆舟的手上接过了那份材料,薇拉低着头,许久都没有说话。 The small hands closely are gripping that material, her eye socket blushes slightly, suddenly deeply bows to Lu Zhou. 小手紧紧攥着那份材料,她的眼眶微微发红,忽然向陆舟深深鞠了一躬。 „Thanks!( Ukrainian)” “谢谢！(乌克兰语)” Also without Lu Zhou that was confused responds what's the matter, the little miss then turns around to run to go out outside, the sound of footsteps goes far away gradually. 还没等一头雾水的陆舟反应过来是怎么回事儿,小姑娘便转身跑出了门外,脚步声渐渐远去。 The expression somewhat subtle strangeness, Lu Zhou recalls the words that under previously spoke carefully, determined that certain as well as affirmative had not said words that absolutely anything queers. 表情有些微妙的古怪,陆舟仔细回忆了下先前说的话,确定一定以及肯定自己绝对没有说什么得罪人的话。 Actually to be honest, because online chats occasionally always by Chen Senior Sister tsukomi extremely „straightforwardly”, he says now some important things time, will ponder over beforehand. 其实说实话,因为偶尔在网上聊天总是被陈学姐吐槽太过“耿直”,他现在说一些重要事情的时候,都会事先琢磨一下了。 Thinks that the little miss goes out the beforehand eye socket slightly red appearance, Lu Zhou is a headache. 想到小姑娘出门之前眼眶微红的样子,陆舟便是一阵头疼。 Did a good deed obviously. 明明是干了件好事。 Hoped to misunderstand...... 但愿不要让人误会了…… Otherwise that really enough he has a headache. 否则那才是真的够他头疼的。 Shakes the head, Lu Zhou could not decide that thinks these troublesome things, put out cell phone to look at a time. 摇了摇头,陆舟决定不去想这些麻烦的东西,拿出手机看了眼时间。 Almost should also have the lunch. 差不多也该去吃午饭了。 Stretches oneself, Lu Zhou stood from the office chair, looked in the computer screen the opening topic that completed to report, the corners of the mouth brought back a happy expression. 伸了个懒腰,陆舟从办公椅上站了起来,看了眼电脑屏幕中已经完成的开题报告,嘴角不由勾起了一丝笑意。 The hail suspected, called Collatz conjecture, the mathematical black hole in legend! It like the genuine black hole, is swallowing all natural numbers. 冰雹猜想,也称角谷猜想,传说中的数学黑洞！它就像真正的黑洞一样,吞噬着所有自然数。 The general viewpoint of modern mathematics circles has not arrived at solves this problem the time, but the Goldbach's conjecture has been solved now, from this however the theory tool of birth is also powerful enough, Lu Zhou thought that can try to challenge. 近代数学界的普遍观点是还没有到解决这个问题的时候,但现在哥德巴赫猜想已经被解决,由此而诞生的理论工具也足够强大,陆舟觉得可以试着去挑战一下。 Thinks this is full of the challenging difficult problem, he was full of the working zeal from top to bottom. 一想到这个充满挑战性的难题,他浑身上下都充满了干劲。 Really, is the math is interesting. 果然,还是数学有意思。
