It is not an easy read, but one that readers who are undeterred by having to learn about “eigenvalues” or “asymptotic freedom” will find intellectually gratifying.

看懂这本书不容易，但不畏了解什么是“特征值”或“渐近自由”的读者会发现这本书让人有智力上的成就感。

(Applause and cheers) AG: But yes, what the IPCC report -- I mean, you know, it's an asymptotic curve that gets closer and closer to absolute panic, OK?

（掌声和欢呼）AG：但是，IPCC 报告是什么——我的意思是，你知道，这是一条渐近曲线越来越接近绝对恐慌，好吗？
