re:He is not, in other...
He is not, in other words, a typical Beltway power broker. He's shy. He doesn't do the D.C. dinner-party circuit; he prefers to eat at home with his wife, who still makes him do the dishes and take out the trash. Then they do crosswords or read. Because Ben Bernanke is a nerd.
He just happens to be the most powerful nerd on the planet.
上面这段是对时代周刊2009年度人物伯南克的一段描写。伯南克是美联储的主席,美联储是干什么的我不大清楚,只知道他们负责美元的印刷工作,再深入,要请者者。
我本想把这一段翻译一下,但被nerd这个词难住了。找不到相应的汉语。大家知道,自闭症有三个主要特征,语言障碍,社交障碍,刻板。三个都有,谱里的。如果把语言障碍换成智识超群,nerd.这个定义我是跟燕园学的,错不了。可见聪明是多么重要。有让小孩变聪明的办法吗?
