At least in his opinion, this small matter basic mentioned without the foot, was he should do. 曾经在普林斯顿读书的时候,他没少受过陆舟的照顾,现在总算是轮到他来报答导师的恩情了。至少在他看来,这点小事儿根本无足挂齿,都是他应该做的。 However, only a little Xiao Tong and her elder brother really looked like, that is not then willing to use own matter to trouble others. Therefore after hearing Qin Yue proposed that helps move the proposition of baggage, Xiao Tong had almost not considered, then declined tactfully. 然而,唯独有一点小彤和她哥实在是太像了,那便是不愿意用自己的事情去麻烦别人。因此在听到秦岳提出帮忙搬行李的提议之后,小彤几乎没有考虑,便委婉地谢绝了。 „Does not use, this minor matter I came to be OK.” “不用了,这点小事我自己来就可以了。” Also had not insisted that must help, Qin Yuedian under: „Ok, I did not come up to disturb, if there is a matter that anything needs to help to tell me again.” 也没有坚持一定要帮忙,秦岳点了下头:“行,那我就不上去打扰了,如果有什么需要帮忙的事情再告诉我。” „Good, I first walk.” “好的,那我先走咯。” „Walks slowly.” “慢走。” , Professor Qin who taught after Princeton says with this brother's once student now the sound sees again, Xiao Tong first was sleeping manages there received the key, then thump thump thump stepped on the staircase, the footsteps vividly is carrying has not been having the lots the suitcases to go upstairs. 和这位老哥曾经的学生、现在在普林斯顿任教的秦教授说了声再见之后,小彤先是去宿管那里领取了钥匙,然后便噔噔噔地踩着楼梯,脚步轻快地拎着没装很多东西的行李箱上了楼。 This dorm is she online applies, various types of furniture are very complete, basically carries the package to move. 这间学生公寓是她在网上申请的,各种家具都很齐全,基本上是拎着包就可以入住。 After moving in the room, Xiao Tong spent for probably two hours, cleaned up under the room simply, then brings own material, went to the Nassau hall not far from here, is the administrative building in Princeton, went through the admission procedure. 入住了房间之后,小彤花了大概两个小时的时间,简单的收拾了下房间,然后便带着自己的资料,前往了距离这里不远的拿骚堂,也就是普林斯顿的行政楼,办理了入学手续。 Regarding Princeton this place, she is not actually strange, even was quite it can be said that familiar. 对于普林斯顿这地方,她其实并不算陌生,甚至可以说是比较熟悉了。 Several years ago, probably are the summer vacations that she just the college entrance examination ended, she once came to here to live for two months, finished the gold/metal big that side registration going back to the summer vacation. 在好几年前的时候,大概是她刚刚高考完的暑假,她曾经来这里住了两个月,一直到暑假结束去金大那边报到才回去。 She still remembers vaguely, at that time in Princeton brother who is the professor, an appearance looks at is very lovable, the speech voice soft, age probably compared with her at the worst many young assistant. 她还依稀记得,当时在普林斯顿担任教授的老哥,还有一位模样看着很可爱、说话声音软软的、年龄大概比她大不了多少的小助理。 Because that small assistant too shy reason, she attempted to initiated an attack several times, has not created the profound friendship with her successfully. 只不过因为那位小助理太怕生的缘故,她尝试主动出击了好几次,都没和她成功建立深厚的友谊。 „Did not know her also.” “不知道她还在不在了。” Gets through the admission procedure to return to Xiao Tong in apartment, one by the soft bed, stretched oneself satisfied. 办完入学手续回到公寓中的小彤,一把靠在了松软的床铺上,惬意地伸了个懒腰。 „If also, if can turn in the friend to be good...... with her saying that she didn't know me probably? After all so many years.” “要是还在的话,要是能和她交上朋友就好了……不过说起来,她大概都不认识我了吧？毕竟这么多年了。” Rushes about exhausted raided the brain gradually, in a while in the room then was only left over the calm and steady breathing. 一路奔波的疲惫渐渐袭上了大脑,没过多久房间里便只剩下安稳的呼吸声。 Rode the quick all day airplane, rode car(riage), now can lie on the formal bed finally rests to be good to think. 坐了快一整天的飞机,又坐了一路的车,现在总算是能趴在正儿八经的床上睡个好觉了。 Is thinking the future campus life, this thinks she rests especially calmly and steadily, to next morning 67 o'clock, had the yawn to crawl from the bed...... 想着未来的校园生活,这一觉她睡得格外安稳,一直到了第二天早上六七点钟,才打着哈欠从床上爬了起来…… Looks that in cell phone has opened the new page of calendars, went to the bathroom to wash Xiao Tong, turned on the computer to send to her future teacher Professor Krugman sealed the mail in the past. 看着手机中已经翻开新一页的日历,去卫生间洗漱了一番的小彤,打开电脑给她未来的导师克鲁格曼教授发了封邮件过去。 Almost when she just prepared the breakfast to oneself, messenger flew into her mailbox. 几乎就在她刚刚给自己准备好早餐的时候,一封回信便飞进了她的邮箱里。 „Professor such efficiency of Princeton?” “普林斯顿的教授这么效率的吗？” A little opened this mail surprisedly, she prepared for two days going to teacher there report again, the result has not thought that then one hour was less than receives the reply. 有点儿惊讶地打开了这封邮件,她本来都做好了过两天再去导师那里报道的准备的,结果没想到这才一个小时不到就收到回信了。 The content of mail is very short, can summarize with several words simply. The general meaning is, welcome her to choose Princeton, if prepared to start own doctor profession, can come his office report momentarily. 邮件的内容很短,用几句话就能简单概括。大概意思就是,欢迎她选择了普林斯顿,如果准备好开始自己的博士生涯了,随时可以来他的办公室报道。 Meanwhile, in mail enclosed address of one line of his offices. 与此同时,邮件中附上了一行他办公室的地址。 Although also seriously considered took two days to live the aspect to settle to report again, but thinks oneself have completed the admittance registration, saw the teacher is quite at the same time good as soon as possible, gave the teacher to make a positive good impression while convenient. 虽然也认真考虑了一下要不要过两天等自己生活方面安顿好了再去报道,不过想到自己已经完成了入学登记,还是尽快去见导师一面比较好,顺便也给导师留下一个积极的好印象。 Therefore, writes down that line of addresses, finished eating the breakfast Xiao Tong to tidy up the tableware in a hurry simply, changed the body neat clean clothes then to go out. 于是,将那行地址记了下来,匆匆吃完早餐的小彤简单地收拾下了餐具,换了身清爽干净的衣服便出了门。 Relies on also to calculate that the good memory, has not spent very big time, she soon found her teacher Professor Krugman office situated in ministry of economics. 凭借着自己还算不错的记忆力,并没有花费很大的功夫,她很快找到了她的导师克鲁格曼教授的位于经济院的办公室。 But when she just opened the office door, the friendly sound then conveys after the gate together, has almost not given to have a scare unprepared her. 而就在她刚刚推开办公室门的时候,一道热情的声音便从门后传来,差点没把毫无准备的她给吓一跳。 „Welcome to Princeton! Is Schoolmate Xiao Tong from China, the life here also familiar with?” “欢迎来到普林斯顿！来自华国的小彤同学,在这里的生活还习惯吗？” Likely frightened rabbit in the future will jump half step, confirmed after Professor Krugman on this face and picture is consistent, she calms down, coughed the sound to say lightly. 像受惊的小兔子似的往后跳了半步,确认这张脸和照片上的克鲁格曼教授一致之后,她才定了定神,轻咳了声说道。 „Before...... me, here has lived for a month, moreover is not the first abroad study, in brief is also very familiar with.” “……我以前在这里住过一个月,而且也不是第一次留学,总之还挺习惯的。” Professor Krugman asked curiously: „Has lived for a month? But I remember that you are the undergraduate course that Jinling University attended, the master in Oxford University...... exchanges the student?” 克鲁格曼教授好奇问道:“住过一个月？可我记得你是金陵大学读的本科,牛津大学上的硕士……是交换学生吗？” „, Does not calculate that...... the overseas do visit relatives?” Never expected that teacher clarity that such oneself investigate, Xiao Tong does not know suddenly oneself should feel extremely flattered, expressed the surprise. “呃,不算吧……海外探亲？”没想到导师把自己调查的这么清楚,小彤一时间也是不知道自己应该受宠若惊,还是表示诧异了。 „,” Professor Krugman on the face shows expression suddenly, immediately smiles frank, „that looks like me not to need to be worried that you became lost in the campus, many will bump into this confusion to the student who this place will come for the first time, here the small town and school will not have the obvious boundary, was very easy to stroll is strolling in fact had been having the school well far...... Vyse, under you led this rookie to be familiar with here work, I suddenly had a telephone to meet, here first gave you.” “哦哦,”克鲁格曼教授脸上露出恍然的表情,随即爽朗地笑了笑,“那看来我不用担心你在校园里迷路了,很多第一次到这地方来的学生都会碰到这种困惑,在这里小镇和学校是没有明显的界限的,很容易逛着逛着实际上已经出了学校好远……威斯尔,你带着这位新人熟悉下这里的工作,我突然有个电话要接,这里先交给你了。” „Good professor.” An appearance is thin, on the face the postgraduate candidates of some freckles walked steadily, pushed thick frame eyeglasses on bridge of the nose, looks that slightly some Xiao Tong of liking a cat on hot bricks extend the right hand, „Vyse, is studying for the doctor, knows you very much happily.” “好的教授。”一位模样瘦瘦的,脸上长了些雀斑的博士生走了过来,推了推架在鼻梁上的厚边框眼镜,看着略微有些局促不安的小彤伸出右手,“威斯尔,在读博士,很高兴认识你。” „......

Thanks.” 小彤:“……谢谢。” „You truly should thank me, yesterday I had gotten off work, was taught a telephone to call the cleaning up location, said that had a newborn rank to report,” looked at one to go out to meet the professor of telephone from the office, Vyse shrugs to make a helpless expression, „the thing that generally speaking, in cleaning up a master has not carried off was the work of rookie, at least here was such......, but, Professor Krugman attached great importance to you probably very much.” “你确实应该谢谢我,昨天我都已经下班了,被教授一个电话叫回来清理工位,说是有个新生等级报道了,”看了一眼从办公室出去接电话的教授,威斯尔耸耸肩做了个无奈的表情,“一般来说,清理上一位主人没有带走的东西是新人的工作,至少在我们这里是这样的……但,克鲁格曼教授好像对你很重视。” During heard itself to have no intention to give others to give such big trouble unexpectedly, Xiao Tong somewhat said immediately embarrassed: „Later has such matter to tell me, I did am OK.” 听到自己居然在无意之中给别人添了这么大的麻烦,小彤顿时有些不好意思地说道:“以后有这样的事情请告诉我,我自己来做就可以了。” „All right, this small matter mentioned without the foot,” did not care beckons with the hand, Vyse spoke thoughtlessly saying that „I first gave you under the introduction others in office to be good.” “没事,这种小事儿无足挂齿,”不在意地摆了摆手,威斯尔随口说道,“我先给你介绍下办公室里的其他人好了。” „Un......” “嗯……” When Vyse is planning to introduce others in office to this new student, the gate of office pulled open again, Professor Krugman who previously went out to telephone, smiled to walk. 就在威斯尔正打算将办公室里的其他人介绍给这位新生的时候,办公室的门再次拉开了,先前出去打电话的克鲁格曼教授,满脸笑容地走了回来。 „Telephone fired off! Here gave me, Vyse, you first did your matter to go.” “电话打完了！这里交给我了,威斯尔,你先去干你自己的事情去吧。” „...... Good,” some own boss is to lose what temper startled today, one very early in the morning to a new student warm resembles with Santa Claus, but Vyse does not dare to ask, but nods, said with this rookie, „that I first matter of destination theory article...... a while gave you to introduce again.” “呃……好的,”有些愕然自己的老板今天到底是发什么神经,一大清早对着个新生热情的和圣诞老人似的,但威斯尔也不敢多问,只是点了点头,和这位新人说道,“那我先去处理论文的事情了……一会儿再给你介绍。” „Un, was troublesome.” “嗯,麻烦了。” A little compelled to select toward this Senior Brother ignorant, Xiao Tong then looked to whole face warm smiling face Professor Krugman, the bemused expression, a little did not have to make clear the condition. 有点儿懵逼地向着这位师兄点了下头,小彤接着看向了满脸热情笑容的克鲁格曼教授,一脸问号的表情,有点儿没太搞清楚状况。 What the special welcome ceremony of Princeton is this? 这是什么普林斯顿的特殊欢迎仪式吗？ How not to have listened to the brother to say completely...... 怎么完全没听老哥讲过…… On the face had the genial smiling face to walk, Professor Krugman looks at Xiao Tong, asked moderately. 脸上带着和煦的笑容走了过来,克鲁格曼教授看着小彤,语气温和地问道。 „Your graduation thesis I carefully looked many, written unusual is splendid, although the theory part has the little slight defect, but can write such paper in your age, is not quite easy, even in Princeton this place, such talent is still rarely seen.” “你的毕业论文我仔细看了很多遍,写的非常出色,虽然理论部分存在一点点的瑕疵,但能在你这个年龄写出这样的论文,已经相当不容易了,即便是在普林斯顿这种地方,这样的天赋也不多见。” Clears throat, he continues to say. 清了清嗓子,他继续说道。 „Since the theoretical side knowledge you have had certain know-how, then I will pay great attention...... to say to training of your other aspect abilities, Xiao Tong, what academic conference you had attended before?” “既然理论方面的知识你已经掌握了一定的窍门,那么我会更注重对你其他方面能力的培养……说起来,小彤,你以前有参加过什么学术会议？” Xiao Tong: „Goes...... not to publish the article with the teacher above.” 小彤:“和导师去过……不过没有在上面发表过文章。” Krugman traces the beard, ponders over to ask: „Is the top conference?” 克鲁格曼摸了摸胡子,思忖问道:“是顶级会议吗？” Xiao Tong said embarrassed: „Temporarily did not have......” 小彤不好意思地说道:“暂时还没有……” Very unfortunately, her former Teacher Professor Froster in macroeconomics domain is not what specially well-known big cow, mostly is not at the academic circle to the opportunity that she provides, but is her Senior Brother Junior Sister equally is mainly centralized in the major investment bank practices. 很不巧,她的前导师福斯特教授在宏观经济学这个领域并不算什么特别知名的大牛,给她提供的机会也大多不在学术界这边,而是和她的师兄师姐们一样主要是集中在各大投行实习。 Then Xiao Tong has not set firm resolve toward the academic circle development, therefore has not paid attention to this specialty quite well-known top conference specially, but the following teacher went to several quite common conferences. 当时的小彤还没有下定决心往学术界发展,因此也没有特别留意过本专业比较知名的顶级会议,只是跟着导师去过几场比较一般的会议。 „Hasn't gone? That just right!” “没有去过吗？那正好！” Had not minded slightly before Xiao Tong, has not participated experience that withstand/top the meeting, Professor Krugman eye one bright, probably thinks that what excellent idea resulted in patted starting with a smile, continued: „Next week in Shanghai that side has a macroeconomics direction exchange conference.

I have not prepared completely, or you are other belt/bring people” “可是……我完全没有准备,要不您还是带其他人” „Doesn't matter! In the past grew in experience, does not need you to prepare,” interrupted the Xiao Tong words without hesitation, Professor Krugman continues saying that „one day you must publish the article in this top conference, now familiar, even if only the flow of familiar under conference, after you academic road is greatly helpful!” “没关系！只是过去长长见识,不用你做准备,”毫不犹豫地打断了小彤的话,克鲁格曼教授继续说道,“总有一天你得在这种顶级会议上发表文章,现在熟悉一下,哪怕只是熟悉下会议的流程,对你以后的学术之路都是大有帮助的！” Heard the teachers saying that Xiao Tong could not say the words that declined to come suddenly. 听到导师都这么说了,小彤一时间也是说不出推辞的话来了。 Actually can have such opportunity, she is not certainly willing to miss. 其实能有这样的机会,她当然是不愿意错过的。 Makes her feel only has a headache is, she just that side from Shanghai took plane, if the following teacher goes to this meeting, then means that she must fly immediately...... 唯一让她感到头疼的就是,她才刚刚从沪上那边坐飞机过来,如果跟着导师去开这会的话,便意味着她马上又要飞回去…… Thinks oneself must toss about for more than 20 hours in the space, the Xiao Tong instantaneous whole person is not good...... 一想到自己又得在天上折腾二十多个小时,小彤瞬间整个人都不好了…… …… …… ( I erupt to 20 th as far as possible, four two beastlier too have been crueler to one qaq) (我尽量爆发到20号吧,一直四更对一只二更兽来说太残忍了qaq)
