全球第一聰明人：竟是邋遢大窮鬼？

A Russian awarded $1million (£666,000) for solving one of the most intractable problems in mathematics said yesterday that he does not want the money.

一位俄國數學家成功解決了史上難度最高的數學難題之一，為此他獲得一百萬英鎊的獎勵，但是他說他不想拿錢。

Said to be the world's cleverest man, Dr Grigory Perelman, 44, lives as a recluse in a bare cockroach-infested flat in St Petersburg. He said through the closed door: 'I have all I want.'

44歲的Grigory Perelman博士據稱是世界上最聰明的人，住在圣彼得堡一幢蟑螂出沒的偏僻小公寓里。他在緊閉的門背后對記者說：“我不缺什么。”

The prize was given by the U.S. Clay Mathematics Institute for solving the Poincare Conjecture, which baffled mathematicians for a century. Dr Perelman posted his solution on the internet.

Grigory Perelman博士解決的難題就是困擾數學家一個世紀的龐加萊猜想，他將自己的運算發(fā)布到了網上。一百萬的獎金由美國Clay數學研究中心頒發(fā)。

Four years ago, the maths genius failed to turn up to receive his prestigious Fields Medal from the International Mathematical Union for solving the problem.

四年前，國際數學聯(lián)盟曾選這位數學天才為菲爾茲獎的獲得者，但是他并未露面。

At the time he stated: "I'm not interested in money or fame. I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo."

當時他說：“我對錢財和名聲都不感興趣。我不希望像動物園的動物一樣被人圍觀。”

"I'm not a hero of mathematics. I'm not even that successful, that is why I don't want to have everybody looking at me."

“我不是什么數學英雄，我也壓根不是什么牛人，所以我不喜歡受人矚目。”

Neighbour Vera Petrovna said: "I was once in his flat and I was astounded. He only has a table, a stool and a bed with a dirty mattress which was left by previous owners - alcoholics who sold the flat to him."

他的鄰居Vera Petrovna說：“我有次去他家里，結果被雷到了。他那只有一張桌子，一條板凳和一張床，臟兮兮的床墊還是之前的酒鬼房主落下的。”

"We are trying to get rid of cockroaches in our block, but they hide in his flat.'

“我們曾想把這個街區(qū)的蟑螂都滅掉，但是蟑螂都躲進他家里了。”
