哇，我发誓我昨晚还在想他是否还活着，因为我在读 Serge Lang 的《代数》（Algebra）时读到了他。对我来说是个人的巧合。愿我们永远不要忘记格罗滕迪克素数，57。
Wow, I swear I was just wondering last night if he was still alive or not, as I was reading about him in Serge Lang's Algebra. Personal coincidence for me. May we never forget the Grothendieck prime, 57.
……一个。这太离谱、太愚蠢、太迂腐了。我们都应该依赖你能想到和不能想到的东西吗？如果你真的想要一些数学上的客观性，也许可以去读读 Serge Lang 的《代数》（Algebra），然后回来告诉我你觉得哪些部分是主观的。你可能会找到一些！> 这些观察中哪些是纯粹客观的？唉……所以你有一个关于某个特定……的轶事
…one. This is beyond and silly and pedantic. We are all supposed to rely on what YOU can and cannot think of? If you really want some mathematical objectivity then maybe go read through Serge Lang's Algebra and come back with me on which parts you found to be subjective. You might find some! > Which of these observations were purely objective? Sigh ... so you have an anecdote of something that at a particular…
有个故事，说一个木匠走进图书馆，拿起 Serge Lang 的《Algebra》，翻了翻第一页——那页上他证明了幺半群中单位元的唯一性——被这个论证的严密程度惊到了，后来就成了数学家去深入研究它。我忘了这人叫什么了……
There's a story about a carpenter who walked into a library, picked up a copy of Serge Lang's book "Algebra", skimmed through the first page where he proves uniqueness of the identity in a monoid, was surprised at how ironclad the argument was, and became a mathematician to study it more. I forget his name,…
