JENNET CONANT:奥本海默出生于 1904 年
JENNET CONANT: Oppenheimer was born in 1904

20世纪前二十年

电力、汽车、飞行
Electricity, automobiles, flight
都在改变着日常生活。

看起来像

大卫·艾森巴♥赫♥:罗伯特·奥本海默的故事

他的父亲从德国过来,
His father comes over from Germany,
在服装行业找到一份工作
gets a job in the garment industry
并赚了一大笔钱,

罗德斯:想象一下这个敏感的男孩,这个非常聪明的男孩,
RHODES: Imagine this sensitive boy, this very smart boy,
但不知道如何与他人打交道的人。

当然不是和他同龄的孩子。

亚历克斯·韦勒斯坦:真正的核心心理时刻
ALEX WELLERSTEIN: The real core psychological moment
对于奥本海默来说,这似乎是在他上大学的时候。
for Oppenheimer appears to have been when he was in college.
他去剑桥学习物理,
And he goes to study physics at Cambridge,
而且他做得不太好。
and he doesn't do very well.
他最终来到了一个实验室
He ends up in a laboratory
这实际上是关于实验物理学的
that's really about experimental physics,
他不擅长这个。
and he is not good at that.
他真的不知道如何用手做实验。
He doesn't really know how to do an experiment with his hands.
他有这种信任危机。
And he has this sort of crisis of confidence.
伯德:当他……的时候,事情就到了紧要关头。
BIRD: This came to a head when he had a...
我认为只能描述
what I think can only be described
就像神经衰弱一样。
as a nervous breakdown.
他的一个朋友在一间空荡荡的教室里偶然发现了他
One of his friends stumbled upon him in an empty classroom
奥本海默站在黑板前。
where Oppenheimer was standing at the blackboard.
艾森巴♥赫♥:一遍又一遍地自言自语,
EISENBACH: Muttering to himself over and over again,
“重点是,重点是,重点是。”
The point is, the point is, the point is.
伯德:他永远无法把这句话说完。

马丁·J·舍温:然后是他的另一位朋友

走进他的宿舍,听到里面有呻♥吟♥声
went to his dorm room and heard this moaning inside
并打开门,
and opened the door,
奥本海默处于胎儿姿势,
and there was Oppenheimer in a fetal position,
来回翻滚,呻♥吟♥着。
rolling back and forth, groaning.
他确实很接近
He literally came close
到那时自杀。
to committing suicide at that point.
艾森巴♥赫♥:因此他去看了精神科医生,
EISENBACH: He saw a psychiatrist as a result of this,
精神科医生说
and the psychiatrist said
他有点生活在自己的世界里。
that he's kind of living in his own world.
罗德斯:他遇到了身份危机,
RHODES: He was having an identity crisis,

在那里他又见到了另一位心理学家,
where he saw yet another psychologist,

SHERWIN: He had always been the top of the class,
最聪明的人,
the smartest person,
因他的智力而受到钦佩
admired for his intellectual capability
被他所有的同学。
by all his classmates.
突然之间,他就变成了一个无能的人。
And suddenly, he was an incompetent.
那时他无法处理这个问题。
And he just couldn't deal with that at that point.
是什么让他摆脱了困境
And what snapped him out of that
是他对理论物理学、量子物理学的发现。
was his discovery of theoretical physics, of quantum physics.
当时,这是物理学的黄金时代。
At the time, it was sort of the golden age of physics.
对于一名理论家来说,这是一个非常激动人心的时刻。
It's a very exciting time to be a theorist.
如果你年轻、反应敏捷、愿意思考

would lead the German atomic bomb project.
韦勒斯坦:当他在那儿时,
WELLERSTEIN: And while he's over there,
奥比的性格是他发明的。
he sort of invents this Oppie personality.
这就是他得名的地方。
This is where he gets the name.

奥比是个聪明人
Oppie is the brilliant guy
他总是比其他人领先五步

身材非常潇洒,而且还不停地抽烟。

这是非常鲍勃迪伦。
It's very Bob Dylan.

在这脆弱的身体里,
inside this frail body,
他用他那滑稽的小动作挺起身子

罗德斯:当然是科学家的首要动机
RHODES: Certainly the first motivation for the scientists
是为了击败德国人获得炸♥弹♥。
was to beat the Germans to the bomb.
没有什么比被绞死更好的了
There's nothing like the prospect of a hanging
集中精神。
to concentrate the mind.
以及他们所知道的文明死亡的威胁
And the threat of death of civilization as they knew it
太伟大了,它扫除了任何伦理或道德上的疑虑
was so great that it swept away any ethical or moral doubts
他们可能已经拥有了。
