  • Fermat made lots of marginal notes.
  • 费马写了相当多的页栏笔记
  • People took them as challenges and over the centuries every single one of them has been disposed of,
  • 人们将那些视为挑战,数世纪以来,其中的每一条都已被解决后丢弃
  • and the last one to be disposed of is this one.
  • 而最后一个要被丢弃的正是这个
  • That's why it's called the last theorem.
  • 也就是称之为'最后定理'的原因
  • Rediscovering Fermat's proof became the ultimate challenge,
  • 再现费马证明成为了终级挑战
  • a challenge which would baffle mathematicians for the next 300 years.
  • 一个在接下来的300年里困扰着数学家们的挑战
  • Gauss, the greatest mathematician in the world...
  • 高斯,世界上最伟大的数学家...
  • Oh yes, Galois... Kummer of course...
  • 哦,是的,伽罗瓦(法国数学家)...当然还有库默尔(德国数学家)...
  • Well in the 18th-century Euler didn't prove it.
  • 在18世纪,欧拉(瑞士数学家)没能证明它。
  • Well you know there's only been the one woman really... Sophie Germain.
  • 要知道只有一个女人真正地...索菲·热尔曼(法国女数学家)。
  • Oh there are millions, there are lots of people.
  • 哦,有数百万人,有许多人。
  • But nobody had any idea where to start.
  • 但没人知道从哪儿着手
  • Well mathematicians just love a challenge and this problem,
  • 数学家们只是喜欢挑战,而这个问题,
  • this particular problem just looked so simple, it just looked as if it had to have a solution,
  • 这个特别的问题看来如此简单,看起来就像是它一定得有个解答,
  • and of course it's very special because Fermat said he had a solution.
  • 当然它非常特别,因为费马说他对此有个解答。
  • Mathematicians had to prove that no numbers fitted this equation
  • 数学家们得要证明没有数字可适于这个等式
  • but with the advent of computers, couldn't they check each number one by one and show that none of them fitted?
  • 但随着计算机时代的到来,他们就不能一个个地试那些数字并表明没有适合的吗?
