It was a very charged atmosphere, a lot of the major figures of arithmetical algebraic geometry were there.
那是相當緊張的氣氛，算術界、代數界、幾何界的重要人物齊聚一堂。
Richard Taylor and John Coates, Barry Mazur.
有理查·泰勒，約翰·科茨，巴里·梅休爾。
Well, I'd never seen a lecture series in mathematics like that before.
我以前還從未見到過像那樣的數學講座系列。
What was unique about those lectures were the glorious ideas, how many new ideas were presented,
那些講座的獨特之處在于光輝的思想所呈現的新思想的數量，
and the constancy of his dramatic build-up that was suspenseful until the end.
以及他一直保持著的戲劇化的處理方式，使懸念持續到最后。
There was this marvellous moment when we were coming close to a proof of Fermat's last theorem,
在這個絕妙的時刻，我們已接近了費馬最后定理的證明，
the tension had built up and there was only one possible punchline.
緊張氣氛出來了，而只要一語即可中的。
So after I'd explained the 3/5 switch on the blackboard,
所以當我在黑板上解釋完3/5的轉換之后，
I then just wrote up a statement of Fermat's last theorem, said I'd proved it, said I think I'll stop there.
就只寫上了關于費馬最后定理的一個聲明，說我已證明了它，說我可以停下了。
The next day what was totally unexpected was that we were deluged by enquiries from newspapers, journalists from all around the world.
第二天完全出乎意料的是，我們被全世界范圍的報紙、記者給淹沒了。
