因为我们*变态*。我们认为数学背后隐藏着一个柏拉图式的世界,而这个世界值得我们牺牲宝贵的时间、能量、社交生活来探索。大学社交圈里,人人都忙着每年在华尔街挣个几百万,我们却专注于学术,我们收到的金钱回报微乎其微,还不得不互相竞争。 It is because we are *abnormal*. We think the platonic world behind mathematics is worthy of our precious time, energy and social life. While others in our college social circle are earning millions a year in the Wall Street, we are working on papers that give us little monetary reward and be forced to compete against each other.
