I never use a computer. I sometimes might scribble, I do doodles,

I start trying to find patterns really,

so I'm doing calculations which try to explain some little piece of mathematics

and I'm trying to fit it in with some previous broad conceptual understanding of some branch of mathematics.

Sometimes that'll involve going and looking up in a book to see how it's done there,

BBC纪录片地平线《费马最后的定理》

and sometimes you realise that nothing that's ever been done before is any use at all,

有时候你意识到以前做过的东西根本没用
and you just have to find something completely new and it's a mystery where it comes from.
你得要找到一些全新的方式,而这会从哪儿来则是完全是谜。
I must confess I did not think that the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture was accessible to proof at present.
我必须承认我不认为谷山-志村猜想目前可被证实。
I thought I probably wouldn't see a proof in my lifetime.
我想可能在我有生之年都看不到证明了
I was one of the vast majority of people who believe that the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture was just completely inaccessible,
我是绝大多数人中的一员,相信谷山-志村猜想根本是无法达致,
and I didn't bother to prove it, even think about trying to prove it.
我犯不着来证明它,想也没想过要来证明它。
Andew Wiles is probably one of the few people on earth
安德鲁·怀尔斯可能是世上那少数人之一
who had the audacity to dream that you can actually go and prove this conjecture.
有胆量来设想确实可以来证明这个猜想
In this case certainly for the first several years I had no fear of competition.
既是如此,在头七年我不害怕这挑战。
I simply didn't think I or any one else had any real idea how to do it.
我只是不认为我或是任何其他人清楚知道该如何进行。
