1著名超导专家赵忠贤教授说:我还听到一个故事,英国历史上有位女王到格林尼治天文台参观,觉得科学家的工作很了不起,当了解到他们的工资相对低了一些时,就想为他们加薪。天文学家说不如资助他们多买些仪器,如果工资太高的话,以后在格林尼治天文台工作的科学家就会减少,因为奔着钱来的人多了,真正的天文学家就很难进来。当然,我并不是说现在中国科学家的工资高了,而是说要找的人必须是真正迷上科学事业,又适于做科学的人,特别是选拔和培养一代又一代的优秀年轻人。 1 Professor Zhao Zhongxian, a famous superconducting expert, said: I also heard a story about a queen in British history who visited the Greenwich Observatory and felt that the work of scientists was remarkable. When they learned that their wages were relatively low, they wanted to Increased salary. Astronomers say that it would be better for them to buy more instruments. If the wages are too high, the scientists who work at the Greenwich Observatory will be reduced. Because there are more people running for money, real astronomers will find it difficult to come in. Of course, I don’t mean that Chinese scientists are now paid more. Instead, they say that the people they are looking for must be those who are truly fascinated by science and suitable for science. In particular, they must select and train outstanding young people from generation to generation.
