參考譯文

對(duì)許多學(xué)生來說，數(shù)學(xué)是最枯燥的學(xué)科之一，但最近，美國(guó)加利福尼亞大學(xué)的一堂數(shù)學(xué)課卻引起了400名學(xué)生的興趣。甚至還有35名學(xué)生在窗戶外看著。

是誰(shuí)讓如此枯燥的學(xué)科變得有趣呢？是31歲的陶哲軒教授。他被譽(yù)為“數(shù)學(xué)界的莫扎特”。

陶哲軒生于香港。童年是在澳大利亞度過的。在兩歲時(shí)，他已經(jīng)能讀書了。9歲時(shí)他去一所大學(xué)學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)。20歲時(shí)他獲得了博士學(xué)位。去年夏天，陶哲軒獲得了菲爾茲獎(jiǎng)。該獎(jiǎng)被譽(yù)為“數(shù)學(xué)界的諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)”。

陶是一位天才。他14歲時(shí)上了大學(xué)。“過早上大學(xué)沒有意義。”陶說。他說學(xué)習(xí)好比建金字塔，金字塔必須有牢固的基礎(chǔ)，然后才能建得更高。

在某些方面，他和我們很相似。陶穿阿迪達(dá)斯運(yùn)動(dòng)服和一雙跑鞋，喜歡看日本漫畫書。但他說，他的最愛還是數(shù)學(xué)。“在很多方面，我的工作就是我的愛好?！彼f。
