　　BATTLIN' BRAINIACS

Physics winners George Smoot of U.C.-Berkeley and John Mather of NASA have long feuded over discoveries they made while both were at NASA trying to prove the Big Bang theory. Mather was infuriated when Smoot, in 1992, announced some results of their collaborative research in what Mather alleged was a grab for solo glory. But after they won the prize last week, the pair seemed buddy-buddy again. Nothing brings people together like shiny gold medals and a check for $1.4 million.

不和的天才

物理学奖得主加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的乔冶·斯穆特和美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的约翰·马瑟长期交恶，起因是两人在NASA共事期间为证明“大爆炸”理论而作出的研究成果。1992年，斯穆特公布了他们合作研究的一些成果，马瑟大为恼火，指责他想独占荣耀。但上周获奖后，这对搭档似乎又变得亲密起来。没有什么比光芒四射的金质奖牌和140万美元的支票更容易让人和解的了。

　　RNA! RNA!

A big winner this year was research on RNA--the genetic "messenger" that transcribes DNA code so it can be made into proteins. Work in this area earned the chemistry prize for Stanford

University's Roger Kornberg and the medicine prize for Andrew Fire, also of Stanford, and the University of Massachusetts' Craig Mello. Studying RNA is important because a full understanding of its functions could lead to therapies and cures for diseases linked to defective genes.

RNA! RNA!

RNA研究是今年的大赢家。RNA(核糖核酸)是转录DNA(脱氧核糖核酸)密码以便合成蛋白质的基因“信使”，该领域的`工作为斯坦福大学的罗杰·科恩伯格赢得了化学奖，为同样来自斯坦福的安德鲁·法尔和马萨诸塞大学的克雷格·梅洛赢得了生理学或医学奖。研究RNA非常重要，因为充分了解其功能可能帮助我们找到基因缺陷疾病的治疗方法。
