He won the Nobel Prize for physics. But Brian Schmidt received no special treatment from the TSA when he tried to take the 24-carat pure gold medal through airport security in Fargo, Nebraska. He was awarded the prize, made from $10,000 of gold, for co-discovering that the expansion of the universe was accelerating - a finding that has transformed our understanding of the solar system. As he tried to take it to show his grandmother, however, the revered physicist was stopped and interrogated.
虽然布莱恩•施密特获得了诺贝尔物理学奖,但当他试着带着24克的纯金奖牌通过内布拉斯加州法戈飞机场的安检时,却并没有得到旅游储蓄协会的特殊优待。布莱恩和其他科学家共同发现了宇宙这加速扩大的现象,这一发现改变了人们对太阳系的一贯认知,这枚由价值一万美金制成的奖牌正是对他的褒奖。布莱恩想让祖母看到这枚奖牌,但这位可敬的物理学家却被机场安检人员栏了下来并遭到盘问。
'There are a couple of bizarre things that happen,' Schmidt, 47, told an audience in New York last month.'One of the things you get when you win a Nobel Prize is, well, a Nobel Prize. 'It's about that big, that thick [he mimes a disk roughly the size of an Olympic medal], weighs a half a pound, and it's made of gold.“
发生了两件奇异的事,”上周47岁的施密特对纽约观众这样说道,“一件就是获得诺贝尔奖后,哦,得了一块又大又厚的奖牌,说着还拿着一块奥运会奖牌大小的磁盘比量着,它有半磅重,还是金子做的。”
