Genius is said to have two forms. There are ordinary geniuses, whose achievements one can imagine others might have emulated, so long as they worked extremely hard and had a dollop of luck.【F1】
Then there are extraordinary geniuses whose insights are so astonishing and run so counter to received wisdom that it is hard to imagine anyone else devising them.
Einsteinwas one such genius. Paul Dirac was another. He was quite probably the best British theoretical physicist since Isaac Newton.
Dirac became one of the fathers of quantum mechanics at the age of 23.【F2】
The theory, which was developed in the 1920s and 1930s, makes seemingly bizarre statements, including the fundamental truth that it is impossible to know everything about the world.
But while his colleagues struggled with the philosophical implications of their equations, Dirac thought words were unreliable and saw merit only in mathematics. For him, equations were beautiful.
Dirac was notoriously reticent. He barely spoke and his silences were legendary. He was unwilling to collaborate with others.【F3】
He was emotionally withdrawn and showed a lack of social sensitivity, and to many of his colleagues, he appeared uninterested in anything other than mathematics; therefore, they were astonished when he married.
Yet he was far more than a calculating machine, as Graham Farmelo’s biography shows. Dirac was a devotee of comic strips and he enjoyed Mickey Mouse films.
Mr. Farmelo’s sympathetic portrait sketches Dirac’s unhappy family background. His parents appear to have loathed one another, and his elder brother committed suicide. Dirac blamed his father for the death. Certainly, some aspects of his father’s behavior warrant criticism. After Dirac won two scholarships to Cambridge, it appeared that he would lose his place for want of £5. Dirac’s father gave his son the money and made him understand that he had launched the boy’s career. Later Dirac learnt the truth.【F4】
After his father died in 1936, it emerged that he had not given Dirac the essential £5, although he could have done so, having saved more than £7,500, some 15 times his annual salary.
The crucial fiver had come from the local education authority.
Dirac went on to win the Nobel Prize in physics in 1933 for his discovery of antimatter.【F5】
of the small group of young men who developed quantum mechanics and revolutionized physics almost a century ago, Paul Dirac—a strange man in a strange world—truly stands out.
【F2】
选项
答案
量子力学理论是在20世纪二三十年代发展起来的。它提出了一些看似怪诞的论点,其中包括这样一条基本真理,即人类对世界的认识是无穷尽的。
解析
The theory是指上文中提到的“量子力学理论”,考生在翻译时应进行适当还原,避免指代不清。在翻译it为形式主语的句子时,如it is impossible to…可以根据汉语的表达习惯适当增加暗含的主语.如“人们”、“我们”等。
