近日，新一届搞笑诺贝尔奖在美国哈佛大学桑德斯剧院如期上演。本届搞笑诺贝尔奖共颁发给了来自10个不同领域的研究者们，并按照惯例邀请了包括2007年度诺贝尔经济学奖得主埃里克·马斯金在内的5位真正的诺贝尔奖得主给他们颁奖。

recently,The new ig Nobel in Harvard University saunders theatre on as scheduled.The ig Nobel Prize awarded to a total of from 10 different field researchers,According to the practice invited including the 2007 Nobel economics prize winner Eric maskin, five real Nobel Prize winner to give them the award.

　　搞笑诺贝尔奖诞生于1991年，至今已经是第22届，作为对诺贝尔奖的搞笑模仿，主要奖励那些"不同寻常"或者"细碎"的科研成果和"乍看起来让人发笑但随后发人深省"的研究工作。而且，每一届的颁奖也都会邀请那些真正的诺贝尔奖得主作为颁奖嘉宾，因此它总会获得足够的关注。

Ig Nobel was born in 1991,Today is the 22nd,As the Nobel Prize funny imitation,Main rewards those who"unusual"or"finely"Scientific research achievements and"At first sight make one laugh but then thought-provoking"Research work.and,Each of the award will invite those real Nobel Prize winner as awards guest,So it will always have enough attention.

　　另外，该奖项选择的获奖研究也通常都非常好玩，比如这一届中的"人在左倾时看埃菲尔铁塔会更小、马尾辫为什么只能左右摇摆而不能上下晃动、端咖啡走路如何不洒出来"等获奖研究，让人们感到原来科学也可以很好玩、很生活，它并不总是严肃刻板正襟危坐，也并非离普通人的生活很遥远，很多科学领域中最新的研究和发现，其实就体现在每一个人的生活之中。

In addition,The award choice award study also are usually very fun,Such as this one in the session"People in the left-leaning watching when the Eiffel Tower will be more small/Ponytail why can only yawing and cannot shake/End coffee walk how to don't spill"Awards such as research,Let people feel the original science can also be fun/Is life,It is not always sit seriousness,Is not the life of the ordinary people from far away,Many scientific fields in the latest research and discovery,In fact are embodied in every person in the life.

　　实际上，搞笑诺贝尔奖并非仅仅是为了搞笑，它的许多发现和成果，虽然看起来会很好玩，但往往也会引起人们的深思。

In fact,Ig Nobel is not just for funny,Many of its discovery and achievement,Although it seems that will be fun,But often can also cause people's thinking.

　　对此，科普作家方舟子说："做研究的人未必是为了搞笑而去做，它或许不如那些正儿八经的、大的科学课题重要，但它却能给更多人以启发。"

this,Science writer fang said:"Doing research is not necessarily to funny and to do,It might as well as those of the business/Big science subject important,But it can give more people in order to inspire."

　　琐碎得有趣　　

Trivial interesting

　　北京晨报：搞笑诺贝尔奖总是能引起很多人的兴趣，据您所了解的这个奖是怎么样的呢？

The Beijing morning post:Ig Nobel is always can cause a lot of people's interest,According to what you know this award is like?

　　方舟子：在最开始，这个奖的搞笑成分确实很重，甚至经常会讽刺那些伪科学的研究，比如有一次得奖的一本叫做《众神之车》的书，内容是关于各种外星人的发现和研究，其实就是在讽刺这本书。但是到后来，这个奖开始更多地颁给那些严肃的能够成立的科学研究，只不过是这些研究的内容会让人觉得有趣、好玩、甚至匪夷所思而已。所以得奖的人也不会因此恼怒，大多数人都会去领奖。中国有一年也曾经得过一次这个奖。

fang:In the beginning,The prize funny composition is really heavy,Even often ironic those pseudoscience research,Such as once the prize of a book called[Car of the gods]book,Content is about all kinds of alien discovery and research,Is actually in the irony of this book.But by then,The prize awarded to those who began to more serious to establish scientific research,Is only the contents of these studies can let a person feel interesting/fun/Even just fantastic.So the people also not so angry,Most people would go to accept the award.China has a year once also had gotten a the prize.

　　北京晨报：这个奖是如何运作的？什么样的研究可以获奖呢？

The Beijing morning post:The prize is how to work?What kind of research can be winning?

　　方舟子：其实做研究的人未必是以搞笑为动机，现在得奖的很多研究原本都是很严肃的，只是研究的方向比较好玩而已。这些研究结果发表在各种研究杂志上，从而被评奖人挖掘出来，它们原本可能很不起眼，影响的范围也不大，普通人通常是在颁奖以后才知道这些研究。

fang:In fact do research is not funny for motivation,Now a lot of research the original is very serious,But the direction of the research is for the fun of it.These research results published in various research magazine,Thus be awards people dug out,They originally may be very small,The scope of influence of is not large also,Ordinary people are usually in the award after just know these studies.

　　方舟子 科普作家、科技打假斗士。1994年创办第一份中文网络文学刊物《新语丝》。2000年创办中文网上第一个学术打假网站"立此存照"。著作有《进化新解说》、《叩问生命》、《溃疡——直面中国学术腐败》等。

Fang science writer/Technology crack down on counterfeit goods fighter.Founded in 1994 first Chinese network literature publication[New yusi].Founded in 2000 Chinese online first academic crack down on counterfeit goods web site"LiCiCunZhao".Works have[Evolution new interpretation]/[Make inquiries life]/[Ulcer, face to face with China academic corruption], etc.

　　搞笑诺贝尔奖正被越来越多的人和媒体所重视，其原因并非它的娱乐性，而是它将娱乐和科学研究结合在一起，让人们知道，科学并非只是关在研究所里的东西，也并非少数人的领域，它可能和每一个人都有关系，这也是它所引发的思考之一。

Ig Nobel is being more and more people and media attention,Its reason is not it entertaining,But it will be entertainment and scientific research unifies in together,Let people know,Science is not only kept in research institute's things,It is not a minority of the field,It may be, and each one has a relationship,This also is it caused by one of the thinking.

　　相对于那些高深的理论，尖端的研究，以转化为生产力，甚至是改变生产方式为目的的科学成果，搞笑诺贝尔则表现出科学的另外一个支流，让人们感受到科学的魅力。

Compared with the advanced theory,Cutting-edge research,To into productivity,Even change the mode of production for the purpose of scientific achievements,Ig Nobel, show the scientific another tributary,Let people feel the charm of science.

　　科普作家方舟子表示："很多人之所以把科学想象得高深、遥远，甚至很多科学研究者本身都是如此，其实是缺少科学的传统、素养和头脑所致，所以才难以发现生活中许许多多的科学道理。其实科学并不高远，它就在每一个人的生活之中。"

Science writer fang said:"A lot of people want to have advanced scientific imagination/remote,Even a lot of scientific researchers itself is so,In fact is the lack of scientific tradition/Literacy and caused by the mind,So it is difficult to find life many scientific reason.Science does not actually clears,It's on every one in the life."

　　科学不能没有调料　　

Science can't do without seasoning

　　北京晨报：搞笑诺贝尔奖评选活动所奖励的成果，很多看起来都没有什么实用价值，却又很好玩。对此，您怎么看这种现象的？

The Beijing morning post:Ig Nobel selection activity reward results,A lot of looks no practical value,Yet fun.this,What do you think about this phenomenon?

　　方舟子：如果从影响力说，搞笑诺贝尔奖的评选更多是让人笑一笑，觉得好玩，也会让人们因此而深思。很多时候，它带给人们的不是生活方式的改变，不是享受科学研究的成果，而是给我们一种启发。许多看起来很小的事情，其实都有它的科学原理，研究这些东西会非常琐碎，比如有一个得奖的研究是"吐司掉地时，总是涂酱的一面朝地"，这本是一句谚语，但是有人通过研究发现，涂酱一面掉地的概率确实比较大。再比如另外一个得奖的研究"啄木鸟为什么不得脑震荡"，对于人类来说，这也是一个很有借鉴价值的研究。

fang:If from the influence power said,Ig Nobel awards more is to make people laugh,Feel fun,Also can let people therefore and thinking.Most of the time,It brings people is not the lifestyle change,Not to enjoy the results of scientific research,But give us a kind of inspiration.Many seemingly small things,Actually has its scientific principle,Study these things will be very trivial,Such as have a winners of the study is"Toast off when,Always spread side toward the ground",This is a proverb,But someone through the study found,Spread a off the probability is really big.For another example another winners of the research"Why woodpeckers not cerebral concussion",For humans,This is also a reference value research.

　　北京晨报：这是否意味着科学和普通人的生活其实非常近呢？

The Beijing morning post:Does this mean that science and ordinary people's life in fact very close to it?

　　方舟子：其实主流的科学研究，普通人还是比较陌生的，这和科学研究专业化程度加深等有关，比如诺贝尔奖，所涉及的研究仍旧是比较高深的，或者是能够转化为生产力等方面的成果，这样主流发展方向各国并没有太大的不同。不过另一面，科学不能只有主流而没有支流，不能因为对大的问题的研究，就排斥那些和生活结合很紧密的、又好玩又琐碎的研究，这是不对的。比如搞笑诺贝尔奖的评选，它就好像是调料，虽然可能不是主料，但无疑是不能缺少的。

fang:In fact the mainstream of scientific research,Ordinary people or is unknown,This and scientific research specialization degree deepen and so on,Such as the Nobel Prize,The study involved still is more advanced,Or can be converted to productivity and the achievement of the respect,So the mainstream development direction countries is not much different.But the other side,Science not only by the mainstream and no tributary,Cannot because of the research of the problem,Will reject those and lifestyle is very close/And fun and trivial research,It is wrong.Such as the ig Nobel awards,It is like condiment,Although it may not be the main ingredient,But no doubt is not indispensable.

　　科学的动力是好奇

Science is the power of curiosity

　　北京晨报：这些搞笑诺贝尔奖的获得者，为什么他们能够发现这么多其他人难以发觉的科学成果呢？

The Beijing morning post:These funny the Nobel Prize winner,Why they can find so many others difficult to find scientific achievements?

　　方舟子：科学研究的出发点，往往不是为了改变生活、改变生产方式等，它最初反映的是人的好奇心，这非常重要，国外许多科研人员从事这个工作，正是因为觉得它很好玩，是出于探索世界，探索自然界奥秘的兴趣，想弄明白背后真正的原理。这种好奇心和探索的欲望，正是科学发展的动力。

fang:The starting point of scientific research,More often than not, in order to change life/Change the mode of production, etc,It was originally reflect people's curiosity,It is very important,Many foreign researchers engaged in this work,It is because they feel it is very fun,Is from explore the world,To explore the mysteries of the interest in nature,Want to understand the principle behind real.This curiosity and desire to explore,It is the power of the development of science.

　　一个人如果觉得某件事情中间会有科学道理，他就会去想、去研究、去想方设法搞明白，尽管这个研究未必实用，未必会带来经济利益，甚至也未必重要，但它体现的是人最基本的求知欲望，满足好奇的欲望。

If a person feel something intermediate will have scientific reason,He will go to want to/To study/To try to understand,Although the study may not practical,Not necessarily will bring economic benefits,Even is not important,But it reflects the people of the most elementary seeking knowledge desire,To meet the desire of curiosity.

　　北京晨报：我们似乎很少有这方面的研究和成果，甚至会为这些新奇、搞笑的研究而震惊，我们为什么会出现这样的反应呢？

The Beijing morning post:It seems that we rarely have the research and achievements,Even for the novel/Funny research and shocked,Why do we will appear such reaction?

　　方舟子：首先，我们的科研目前还处于模仿阶段，人家做什么我们也跟着做什么，没有自己的思想、观念和原创性。其二，我们的科研很多时候注重于功利的效果，只做那些有价值的研究，没有价值的则不愿关注，因此观念也很难拓宽，更加难以发现隐藏在平常生活中的科学原理。

fang:First of all,Our research is still in its imitation stage,The somebody else do we also follow suit??????,Don't have their own thoughts/Concept and originality.The second,Our research a lot of time to focus on the effect of utilitarianism,Only those who have the value of the research,No value is not to pay attention,So the idea is hard to widen,Harder to find hidden in ordinary life science principle.

　　科学不是少数人的专利　　

Science is not the patent of a few people

　　北京晨报：我们很多人通常会觉得科学是高高在上的，是少数人的专利，和普通人毫无关系，是什么造成这样的印象呢？

The Beijing morning post:Many of our people usually think science is high at the top of the,Is a minority of the patent,And ordinary people there is no relationship,What caused the impression?

　　方舟子：其实不仅是常人，包括我们的许多科研人员也有这样的观念。怎么样很细心地去发现生活中的科学原理？一般人不会想这个，科研人员也不会，不少科研人员，其实是把科研当做一种赚钱谋生的职业，和生活毫无关系，这反映的，是科学传统、科学素养的不足，很难以科学的头脑去看待生活。因此，会觉得只有在研究所里的那些正儿八经的研究，才是科学研究，对生活中的科学少有发现。

fang:In fact is not only the ordinary people,Including many of our scientific research personnel also have such idea.How very carefully to find life science principle?People don't want to this,Researchers also won't,Many scientific research personnel,In fact is to earn a living as a research career,And life is relationship,This reflects the,Is scientific traditional/The deficiency of scientific literacy,It is difficult for scientific minds to look at life.therefore,Will think only in research institute of the formal research,Is scientific research,The science of life rare find.

　　北京晨报：为什么会这样呢？

The Beijing morning post:Why is this so?

　　方舟子：一个是因为我们缺少科学的传统。即便是引入科学观念、科学知识已经很多年，但是传统的思维方式仍旧在影响着人们。

fang:A because we lack scientific tradition.Even if is the introduction of scientific concepts/Scientific knowledge has been for many years,But the traditional way of thinking is still in affect people.

　　另外一个就是我们的教育也存在问题，即便是数理化这些科学知识的教育，也更多是为了应付考试、局限于课本之中。把书本和生活分得很开，很少培养学生的科学素养，使得他们很少会用科学的目光去观察世界。

Another is our education and existing problems,Even science these scientific knowledge education,Also more is to deal with the exam/Limited to textbooks in.Put your books and life wide apart,Few cultivate students' scientific literacy,That they rarely use scientific eyes to observe the world.

　　北京晨报：难道我们的科研人员也缺乏科学的素养和头脑吗？

The Beijing morning post:Aren't our scientific research personnel and lack of scientific literacy and mind?

　　方舟子：科研人员也有同样的问题，一个是因为教育，另外一个也和目前我们整体的科研体制有关。

fang:Scientific research personnel to also have the same problem,A because education,Another also and now we whole about scientific research system.

　　在我们的科研领域中，并不鼓励类似搞笑诺贝尔这样的研究，更多的研究方向是实用的、能够转化为生产力的课题。而且，很多研究的项目都是科研机构官方所划定的，因此也决定了科研经费的走向，甚至直接影响着科研人员的研究方向，没有经费的研究是不会去做的。

In our research in the field,Don't encourage similar ig Nobel such studies,More research direction is practical/Can be transformed into productivity subject.and,A lot of research projects are scientific research institutions which would be defined official,Therefore also determines the scientific research funds to,Even a direct impact on the scientific research personnel's research direction,No funds research is not to do it.

　　实际上在国外，这种搞笑项目的研究也同样难以获得经费，但他们依然会去做，而且其实也并不花费多少经费。这其实反映的正是我们当前科研的功利化倾向。

In fact in foreign,This kind of funny project research also difficult to obtain funds,But they will still to do,And in fact also don't spend much money.It reflected exactly our current scientific research of the utilitarian tendency.

　　把科学家变成常人

The scientists become normal

　　北京晨报：搞笑诺贝尔奖的评选反映了什么？

The Beijing morning post:Ig Nobel awards reflects the???????

　　方舟子：它除了让人们笑一笑，觉得好玩之余还能带来一点儿思考之外，同时也是科学观念，科学素养的一种体现。

fang:It besides make people laugh,Think fun of remaining still can bring a little outside thinking,At the same time, but also the scientific concept,An embodiment of scientific literacy.

　　北京晨报：那怎样培养国人的科学素养呢？

The Beijing morning post:That how to cultivate the scientific literacy of people?

　　方舟子：科学素养要从小培养，在教育之初就要开始。有人说每一个小孩子都是天生的科学家，因为他们对世界充满好奇心和强烈的探索欲望。从某种角度来说，真正的科学家，总是保持着这种童真和好奇，因此他们才能在科学的道路上走得更远，更深入。但是我们目前的教育，并不是在培养和保持孩子的好奇心和探索欲望，恰恰相反是在磨灭和打压，如果孩子们对世界的好奇再也没有了，对所有的未知都习以为常了，那怎么可能去主动寻找答案呢？

fang:Scientific literacy training should learn from this,In the beginning of education will start.Someone said that every child is born scientists,Because of their effect on world full of curiosity and strong desire to explore.From a certain point of view,The real scientists,Always keep the childlike innocence and curious,So they can on the way to science go further,further.But our current education,And not in training and keep the child's curiosity and desire to explore,On the contrary is great and the press,If the children of the world is no more curious,For all the unknown all became accustomed to,How is that possible to actively seek the answer?

　　此外，当前的科研领域也应该有所改变，虽然主流仍旧是研究那些重要的、有用的课题，但是对于主流之外的支流，也不应该排斥和轻视。其实所谓搞笑诺贝尔奖，是一个功到自然成的事情，并不是说有人专门去研究这些东西，而是当人们具备了良好的科学素养、习惯于用科学的头脑去看待世界、看待生活的时候，这些东西自然而然地就会被发现。记者 周怀宗

In addition,The current scientific research should also be changed,Although the mainstream is still the important research/Useful subject,But to mainstream tributary,Also should not reject and contempt.In fact the so-called ig Nobel Prize,Is a work to nature into things,Is not to say that someone special to study these things,But when people have a good science literacy/Accustomed to use scientific minds to see the world/Look at life,These things naturally will be found.Reporter ZhouHuaiZong
