病态怪物!受惊的数学家叫喊
Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
他们每个人都是我眼中碎片
I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
我憎厌阿砣空间和科赫曲线
I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
我害怕康托三元集
The Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
谢尔宾斯基垫圈让我忍不住流泪
And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
百万英里外,蝴蝶扇动翅膀
On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born
寒冷的十一月的一天,伯努瓦曼德尔布罗出生
His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights
他蔑视纯数学,他几何见解独特
Left him well equipped to face those demons down
他准备充分,直面恶魔
He saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules
他描述无限复杂以简单规则
He used his giant brain and he turned the game around
他的大脑扭转了局面
And he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head
他看着暴风雨之下,幻象诞生于脑海
A bulbous pointy form
球形尖形
He picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down
他拿笔,写下自己的秘密
何数在心里对自己说,“它可以用复二次多项式:f_c(z) = z^2 c来定义……”
Just Take a point called Z in the complex plane
在复杂的平面上取一个叫做Z的点
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
Z3是Z2的平方加上C,依此类推
If the series of Z\'s will always stay
如果Z系列将永远存在
Close to Z and never trend away
接近Z,永不偏离
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
那是在曼德勃罗集合里
何数想,本华曼德博或许也就是以这样的方式为更多人所知,仅仅是由于被写在歌里。现在这些人都记住了他的分形几何。
Mandelbrot\'s in heaven, at least he will be when he\'s dead
曼德尔布罗在天堂,至少他死后会
Right now he\'s still alive and teaching math at Yale
现在他还活着,在耶鲁教数学
He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
混乱中他给了我们秩序,无序的地方他给了我们希望
And his geometry succeeds where others fail
他的几何学在别人失败处成功
If you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings
如果你失去方向,蝴蝶会扇动翅膀
From a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home
百万英里之外,微小的奇迹会带你回去
……
何数想,既然他致力于向大众介绍自己的理论,或许也不介意以这样的方式闻名。
Mandelbrot Set you\'re a Rorschach Test on fire
曼德勃罗集合,你是燃烧的墨迹测验
You\'re a day-glo pterodactyl
你是日间翼龙
You\'re a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
你是弹簧电线组成的心形盒子
You\'re one bad-ass fucking fractal
你是个他妈的坏分形
何数想,应该也有一首歌,唱给查尔斯徳定理,就让何暮光来唱。
And you\'re just in time to save the day
你刚好赶上拯救世界
Sweeping all our fears away
扫除我们所有恐惧
You can change the world in a tiny way
用微小的方式改变世界
Go on change the world in a tiny way
继续以微小的方式改变世界
Come on change the world in a tiny way
来吧,用微小的方式改变世界
最后一句唱完,何暮光平复了一下呼吸,然后笑容灿烂地注视着何数。
在这样的舞台其实看不出他究竟看的是谁,可是连何数自己都觉得在和何暮光对视。
他拿着话筒,无视数年没有使用的差劲音效,学生气的舞台,朗声开口,“我拿这首歌,
