AlthoughLu ZhouinPrinceton, had truly exchangedwith the scholars of someresearcheconomicsbeforeoccasionally, but is no one is so familiar.
虽然以前陆舟在普林斯顿的时候,确实偶尔和一些研究经济学的学者交流过,但也不是和谁都那么熟悉。Cannotspeakwithhim, can heothersnameremembering?
总不能和他说过话,他就得把人家名字给记得吧?Let alonePrincetonis so big, heonlytreatedsuchseveralyears, has not necessarily seenthismy dear friend.
何况普林斯顿这么大,他只待了那么几年,也未必见过这位仁兄。Collected the name in memorycarefully, Lu Zhouhad not really been findingoneto be ablewithhim to number, visited the academicinquirywebsiteuntilhim, after inputtingthisname, discovered that actuallythismy dear friendwas what kind of person.
仔细搜罗着记忆中的名字,陆舟实在没有找到一个能和他对上号的,直到他登陆了学术查询网站,输入了这个名字之后,才发现这位仁兄究竟是何许人也。
The resultdoes not search fordoes not know,searching for the backgroundis big.
结果不搜不知道,搜出来来头还不小。Krugman!
克鲁格曼!08years of Nobel Prize in Economicswinner!
08年诺贝尔经济学奖得主!International trade, exchange rateandmacroeconomicsexpert!
国际贸易、汇率与宏观经济学专家!In the academicpersonal historymost magnificent, successfullypredicted1997financial crisis in Asiain1994, thispredictionafter the financial crisis in Asiabreaks outmakesitin the economic spherepositionrising, directlycausedhimto obtainto rewardin 19 08afterward.
学术履历上最辉煌的一笔,是于1994年成功预言了1997年的亚洲金融危机,这一预言在亚洲金融危机爆发之后使其在经济学领域的地位如日中天,更是直接导致了后来他于08年获得诺奖。HowevermadeLu Zhoufeelwhatwas strange, whyhecontacted with himself.
不过令陆舟感到奇怪的是,他为什么联系上自己。Probablywhen the mailgeneral idea/carelessisto inquirehimhas the time, wantsto chat the academiconmatterwithhisvideoface to face.
邮件的大意大概是询问他什么时候有时间,想和他视频当面聊聊学术上的事情。Althoughis not interestedin the economicsvery much, butwas thinkinga moment later, Lu Zhoueditedto seal/conferHuixinto send.
虽然对经济学不是很感兴趣,但在思索了片刻之后,陆舟还是编辑了一封回信发了过去。【Today'sgoing to the capitaltimein the evening8 o' clock, ifyouhave free time, wecanchat.】
【今天上京时间晚上八点,如果你有空的话,我们可以聊聊。】After allwithfor the scholar who to takehas rewarded, the facemustgive.
毕竟同为拿过诺奖的学者,面子还是得给一点的。In any case, heis also on leave, idlesis also idling......
反正,他也在休假,闲着也是闲着……
......
……In the evening8 o' clock.
晚上八点。According to the time of agreement, Krugmanappearedin the lens of video call.
按照约定的时间,克鲁格曼出现在了视频通话的镜头中。
The firstmeetingprofessorevenabbreviatedexchanging greetings of self introduction, almostjustput through the video phone, thensaidwith the impatienttone.
第一次见面的这位教授甚至连自我介绍的寒暄都省略了,几乎是刚刚接通视频电话,便用迫不及待的语气说道。„Youdo not know that yourresearch resultsare important!”
“你不知道你的研究成果有多么重要!”Was madebythissuddenspeechsomewhatunclear, Lu Zhougawkedslightlyunder: „...... Inot am quite truly clear, whichresearch resultsevenwas not quite clearyouto refer to...... being ableto saywithme?”
被这突如其来的发言弄得有些不明就里,陆舟微微愣了下:“……我确实不太清楚,甚至不太清楚你指的是哪个研究成果……能和我说说嘛?”
The deep breath the one breath, Krugmanexplainedsaid.
深呼吸了一口气,克鲁格曼解释说道。„The bewleymodelis the frontier of macroeconomics, yourimprovementmodel...... Icall itfor the time being the lu-bewleymodelwas good, not onlysolvedbewleyanalog computationto be huge, andsteptediousissue, whatwas most essentialreduced the random error of model!”
“bewley模型一直是宏观经济学的前沿领域,你的改进模型……我暂且称它为lu-bewley模型好了,不但解决了bewley模型计算量庞大且步骤繁琐的问题,最关键的是减小了模型的随机误差!”bewleymodel?
bewley模型?OriginallyisXiao Tongthatpaper......
原来是小彤的那篇论文……
After listening toProfessorKrugman'sdescription, on the Lu Zhoufaceappearedfinally a expressionsuddenly.
听完了克鲁格曼教授的描述之后,陆舟脸上终于浮现了一丝恍然的表情。However , has not presentedProfessorKrugmanto anticipatemerelysuddenly being interestedexpression.
不过,也仅仅只是恍然而已,并没有出现克鲁格曼教授期待中的感兴趣的表情。SeesLu Zhounot to speak, ProfessorKrugmanthinks that hehas not understood the outcome that oneselfsaidto meananything, thereforeclears throat , to continue to say.
见陆舟没有说话,克鲁格曼教授以为他没有听懂自己说的究竟意味着什么,于是清了清嗓子,继续说道。„Said that unravelsallcomplexresearch, the ultimate objective of economicsonly hastwo;first, efficiency of optimize allocation of resources;second, the interest relations of coordinatedsociety! Ifwecanobtain a precisemodel, evenisas far as possible the precisemodel, standsin the altitude of civilizationwecan the assignment optimization of resourcestobiggest! Standsinindividualangle, weevencanforecast the futurethrough the economic activity!”
“这么说吧,将一切复杂的研究抽丝剥茧,经济学的终极目标只有两个,一是优化资源配置的效率、二是协调社会的利益关系!如果我们能够获得一个精确的模型,甚至是尽可能精确的模型,站在文明的高度我们能将资源的配置优化到最大!站在个人的角度,我们甚至能够通过经济活动预测未来!”Toforecastingthisword some response, Lu Zhouwill dependin the futurefinallybackwardon the chair.
对预测未来这个词终于有了点反应,陆舟向后靠在了椅子上。„Thissoundsveryinconceivable.”
“这听起来很不可思议。”Smiles, looks atProfessorKrugman of video phonethathead, Lu Zhoucontinues saying that „the principle of economicsIdo not understandvery much, but...... never haswhatmathematical model to achieve100%forecastsregarding the chaossystemprobably. Even ifIgive an examplecasually, howyoudo forecast the birth of Controlled Nuclear Fusiontechnology? Alsohowbeforeitis bornforecastsit the effecton the global economy?”
笑了笑,看着视频电话那头的克鲁格曼教授,陆舟继续说道,“经济学的原理我不是很懂,但对于混沌的系统……好像从来没有什么数学模型能够做到百分之百的预测。哪怕我随便举个例子,你如何预测到可控聚变技术的诞生?又如何在它诞生之前预测它对全球经济的影响?”„Iam unable to answerthisissue, that butyousaidis not the key point,”Krugmanshakes the headto continue saying that „Icantellyou, the technology advancementcantheoreticallywith the research and developmentinvestmentandgdpproportionwaitseveralparametersbroadin the model, even ifyouare unable to understand that are not related, Icanbe cleartold you are a discovery of Nobel prizerank! So long asyoucontinueto studyin the mathematicalimprovement of bewleymodel, Icanaffirm that the Nobel Prize in Economicsis certainlyyou!”
“我无法回答这个问题,但你说的这个不是重点,”克鲁格曼摇了摇头继续说道,“我可以告诉你,技术进步在理论上是可以用研发投入、gdp占比等等几个参数概括在模型中的,哪怕你无法理解也没关系,我可以明确的告诉你这是一个诺贝尔奖级别的发现!只要你在bewley模型的数学改良上继续研究下去,我敢肯定诺贝尔经济学奖一定属于你!”„But...... ItakeFieldsto reward,”Lu Zhoushrugs , to continue saying that „the Nobel prizehas also takenone.”
“可是……我已经拿过菲尔茨奖了,”陆舟耸了耸肩,继续说道,“诺贝尔奖也拿过一个了。”
The atmosphere in video, fanawkwarda while.
视频中的气氛,迷之尴尬了一会儿。ProfessorKrugmancoughedlightly, the persuasionsaid.
克鲁格曼教授轻咳了一声,劝说说道。„Don't youwantto takeoneagain? Thisis the Nobel prize......”
“你就不想再拿一个吗?这可是诺贝尔奖……”„To me, before Nobel prizeattractionalreadynot, was so big,”Lu Zhousighed, said,„youdid know? What kind ofhonorcompared withcanobtain, Iam interestedin these enoughswoonsomedifficult problem, can youunderstandthisfeeling? DearProfessorKrugman.”
“对我来说,诺贝尔奖的吸引力已经没有以前那么大了,”陆舟叹了口气,说道,“你知道吗?比起能够获得怎样的荣誉,我还是对那些足够令人着迷的难题感兴趣,你能理解这种感觉吗?亲爱的克鲁格曼教授。”„......”
“……”Krugmandoes not wantto say.
克鲁格曼并不想接话。Heevenwantsto throwfountain penon handon the screen.
他甚至想将手边的钢笔扔在屏幕上。20-year-oldyoung peopleandhesaidto the honorhave not pursued.
一个20多岁的年轻人和他讲对荣誉已经没有追求了。Good, even ifthisfellowreallyhas the qualifications of saying, still was really exasperating!
好吧,即便这家伙确实有这么说的资格,也实在是太气人了!
The deep breath the one breath, hetriedto convince.
深呼吸了一口气,他试图说服道。„Is the bewleymodelnot enoughto arouseyourinterest? Thissimilarlyis an enoughimportantdifficult problem! Moreoverenoughdifficulty! Icanveryresponsibletoldyou, the research of hisfarratiowhatpure mathematicscandirectlychangethisworld”
“难道bewley模型不足以引起你的兴趣吗?这同样是一个足够重要的难题!而且足够的困难!我可以很负责的告诉你,他远比什么纯粹数学的研究更能够直接的改变这个世界”„Thatmaynot necessarily,”interrupt the words of ProfessorKrugman, Lu Zhousmiled , to continue saying that „. Moreover, improves the bewleymodel...... or the lu-bewleymodelas you said that altogetheralsoonlyspentmyonehour, howregardless to see, does not seem like very difficultappearance.”
“那可未必,”打断了克鲁格曼教授的话,陆舟笑了笑,继续说道,“而且,改进bewley模型……或者如你所说的lu-bewley模型,总共也只花了我一个小时的时间而已,无论怎么看,也不像是很难的样子。”Onehour......
一小时……Krugman there.
克鲁格曼愣在了那里。
The instincttoldhimthis is not absolutely impossible, butlooked atopposite ofvideothatperson, actuallydid not seem like the appearance that cracked a jokeorlies.
本能告诉他这绝对不可能,但看视频对面的那个人,却不像是在开玩笑或者说谎的样子。To put it bluntly, whatadvantagedeceiveshimto have?
说白了,骗他有什么好处?Howeveronehourthenimproved the sooutstandingdegree the bewleymodel......
然而一小时的时间便将bewley模型改进到了如此优秀的程度……This was really terrifying!
这实在是太恐怖了!„Thatarrivedherewas good,”sawProfessorKrugmana few words unable saying that Lu Zhoulooked at a table, had a yawn, „, althoughwas sorryvery much, butIcould not add onyoutoomanybusy. Princetonhasmanyoutstandingmath professors, perhapsyoucantakemymodel, seeks the helptothem.”
“那就到这里好了,”见克鲁格曼教授一句话也说不出来,陆舟看了眼表,打了个哈欠,“虽然很抱歉,但我帮不上你太多忙。普林斯顿有很多优秀的数学教授,或许你可以拿着我的模型,向他们寻求帮助。”„That, sees again.”
“那么,再见。”
The video callended.
视频通话结束了。Looksscreen that fallsblack, Krugmansilentlong time, stretches outfinger that shiversslightly, cast off the eyeglasses on bridge of the nose.
看着黑掉的屏幕,克鲁格曼沉默了好长时间,伸出微微颤抖的手指,摘掉了鼻梁上的眼镜。Has looked at the elderly man and Professorlandtelephone conversationinside, hisstudentVyseswallowed a spit, says.
一直在旁边看着老人家和陆教授的通话,他的学生威斯尔咽了口吐沫,开口说道。„Professor?”
“教授?”Krugmansighed, shakes the headto say.
克鲁格曼叹了口气,摇了摇头说道。„Onlycanseperatelytry to find the solution.”
“只能另外想办法了。”SomePrincetontrulymanyoutstandingmath professors, the professor but who is interested in the economicsare not many, the scholar who the especially thoseare engaged in the theoretical fieldresearch, manypeopleare also having a bigprejudiceregarding the applicationdivision/discipline, thinks that studiesthesethingsis the wastetime.
普林斯顿确实有不少优秀的数学教授,但对经济学感兴趣的教授却不多,尤其是那些从事理论领域研究的学者,不少人对于应用学科还存着不小的偏见,认为研究这些东西是浪费时间。
The bigcow of mathematics circlesenteredthisdomainwith great difficulty, andmade the littleachievement, hiswhereis willingeasilyto let off.
好不容易有一个数学界的大牛进入了这个领域,并且做出了一点点的成果,他哪里肯轻易地放过。Probablysteals into the panda of zooto be the same, but can also putyouto walk?
就好像溜进动物园的大熊猫一样,还能放你走了?Krugmanis lost in thought that atthis time, inhisheartmovedsuddenly.
克鲁格曼陷入了沉思,就在这时候,他忽然心中一动。At this timehesuddenlythought,in the paperas ifalsohadanotherauthor.
这时候他突然想起来,论文中似乎还有另一位作者。Does not placeFroster who is.
不是放在一作的福斯特。Thisnamehesimplyhas not heard, it is estimated that is also fellow who walkedbullshit luck.
这个名字他根本没听说过,估计也是个走了狗屎运的家伙。Name that howevertwomake......
不过二作的名字……Eyegraduallybright, Krugmanlookstooneselfstudent, immediatelysays.
眼睛渐渐明亮了起来,克鲁格曼看向自己的学生,立刻开口说道。„Vyse!”
“威斯尔!”Was called the namesuddenly, Vyseshouldsayimmediately.
被突然叫了名字,威斯尔立刻应道。„What do Ihaveto tellin...... you?”
“我在……您有什么吩咐?”„Helpsmewrite a mail, mailboxaddressa whileIgivesyou, usesmyname, the name of addresseefills inluxiaotong......”stopped the moment, Krugmanthought alouddí dícluck said that „, if the situationis smooth, shouldbe able to catch up.”
“帮我写封邮件,邮箱地址一会儿我给你,就用我的名字,收件人的名字填lu・xiaotong……”停顿了片刻,克鲁格曼自言自语似的嘀嘀咕咕道,“如果情况顺利的话,应该能赶得上。”Although the sound of these wordsis not loud, exactlyVyse but who was busyediting the mailheard.
这句话的声音虽然不大,但恰好被正在忙着编辑邮件的威斯尔听到了。Saw onlyhimto stare, then the subconsciousnessasked.
只见他愣了一下,便下意识问道。„Whatcan catch up with?”
“赶得上什么?”„Fills involuntarilyandorchooses the teacherand so on,”, Krugmancontinued saying that „stillremembersIdo letyouhave readthatpaper? Althoughthatpaperloses face/shows offmerelyis the part of mathematical model, butcan the theorypartcompletereorganization, andmakesonemakesuch importantresearchto the mathematician who the economicsknows nothing about, is in itself also a veryrarequality......, ifIhave not guessed that wrong, sheshouldnot decide where nowgoodto study for the doctor!”
“填志愿、或者说选择导师之类的,”顿了顿,克鲁格曼继续说道,“还记得我让你看过的那篇论文吗?虽然那篇论文出彩的仅仅是数学模型的部分,但能够将理论部分完整的整理出来,并且让一个对经济学一窍不通的数学家做出如此重要的研究,本身也是一项很难得的素质……如果我没猜错的话,她现在应该还没决定好去哪里读博士!”Vysehesitated, came up with a hypothesis.
威斯尔迟疑了一下,提出了一种假设。„But if shedid not plan that continuesto continueon the academicthisroad?”
“可是万一她不打算继续在学术这条路上继续走下去呢?”Krugmandenieddecisively.
克鲁格曼断然否定道。„Is impossible!”
“不可能!”„Canwrite the sobrilliantpaper, ifshehad not planned that walkson the academicthisroad, is absolutely impossible! Tograduatemerely, does not absolutely needto achievethisdegree!”
“能够写出如此出色的论文,如果她没有打算在学术这条路上走下去,是绝对不可能的!仅仅只是为了毕业,根本没必要做到这种程度!”„Youdefer tomyrequestby all means that sent the mailon the line.”
“你只管按照我的要求,把邮件发过去就行了。”„Was......”looks at a faceboss, Vysealso can only earnestly the woodenplace, turned on the computerto startto edit the mail.
“是……”看着一脸认真地老板,威斯尔也只能木木地点了下头,打开电脑开始编辑起了邮件。Is editing the mailearnestly, this30-year-olddoctor, in the heart is also an entirefeeling.
埋头编辑着邮件,这位30多岁的博士,心中也是不禁一整感慨。Ongraduationseasontime, othersarevariouswrap/setsmagnetismask the letter of recommendation, reduced the head to attain the recommendation of bigcow. Howeverthisluckyfellowis booing, let alonewhatletter of recommendation, rewarded the big shotto send the mailto inviteherto readpersonallyin the pastabundantly......
每逢毕业季的时候,别人都是各种套磁求推荐信,削减了脑袋地想拿到大牛的推荐。然而这个幸运的家伙倒好,别说什么推荐信了,诺奖大佬亲自发邮件过去邀请她来读博……Suchtreatment, whomalsodid not have.
这样的待遇,也是没谁了。Heevenheard for the first time, unexpectedlythistypematter.
他甚至都第一次听说,居然还有这种好事儿。Thinks,thinksexperience that initiallystudied, Vyselooked like the lemonto be exactly sameat heart, the sourtaste of overflowhas not soakedon the differenceto the mailin......
