费米的整个生命是属于20世纪的;不仅他的科学工作,而且他的主要活动,都与现代物理学紧紧连在一起。他与众不同的是:在物理学发展如此迅速、分枝领域复杂繁多的20世纪中,能够同时在理论和实验两个方面都取得卓越的成就。这种才华横溢的、在不同领域都能高耸于群的科学家,在19世纪以前还能普遍可见,而在20世纪中却是绝无仅有。因此,人们赞叹他为“19世纪式”的现代科学家。这是罕见的,但又是可以理解的,可以在他所处环境中找到历史的缘由。今天,人们从费米留下的足迹中想必还能得到一个启示:在一个已经衰落的国土上,如果崇尚科学精神,珍爱科学人才,也可能重新开放灿烂的科学之花……
Fermi’s entire life belongs to the 20th century; not only his scientific work, but his main activities, are closely linked with modern physics. What sets him apart is the remarkable achievement both in theory and experiment can be achieved in the 20th century when physics is developing so rapidly and its complexity is manifold. This talented scientist, capable of towering in various fields, was universally visible until the 19th century, but unparalleled in the 20th century. Therefore, people praise him as a “19th century” modern scientist. It is rare, but understandable, to find the reason for history in his environment. Today, one can still get a revelation from Fermi’s footsteps: In a declining land, if we advocate scientific spirit and cherish scientific talent, it is possible to reopen the splendid science flower ......
