理查德·罗兹（Richard Rhodes），作家：：奥本海默，像许多理论物理学家一样，事实证明，如果他走过实验室，仪器就会全部损坏。
And he’s trying to do a rather delicate physical experiment and he’s not getting anywhere, and he’s sinking deeper and deeper into that special despair that comes along when prodigies grow up and have-and realize they can’t just do it by being a prodigy anymore.
他试图做一个相当微妙的物理实验，但他一无所获，他越来越深地陷入那种特殊的绝望之中，这种绝望是神童长大后出现的，并意识到他们不能再仅仅通过成为神童来做到这一点。
Martin Sherwin, historian: : His eyes and his hands and his mind are not coordinated, he can’t do what all of the other young people are able to do.

旁白：：他与内心的恶魔搏斗，这些恶魔威胁着他，他后来说，“快要把自己撞倒了。” 1926年，奥本海默拯救了自己。
He cut free from the English experimental laboratory and headed for Göttingen, Germany to study theoretical physics with some of the greatest scientific minds of the century.

You needed a new kind of physics.
你需要一种新的物理学。
Richard Rhodes, writer: : So if you’re going to change on a different scale the-the whole structure of the physics, everything has to be redone if you will, and that means there are enormous opportunities available for a young graduate student with talent to come in and make various aspects of this his own.
理查德·罗兹（Richard Rhodes），作家：因此，如果你要在不同的规模上改变物理学的整个结构，如果你愿意的话，一切都必须重做，这意味着对于一个有才华的年轻研究生来说，有巨大的机会进来，并在各个方面都成为他自己的。

理查德·罗兹 (Richard Rhodes)，作家： 20 世纪 30 年代，在大萧条的谷底，人们对这个国家的未来存在着深刻而根本的担忧，担心其经济和某种程度上的政治制度是否足够。
We came later in America to demonize people who belonged to the Communist Party.
后来我们来到美国妖魔化共产党的人。
But it was a very common business in the ’30s.
但这在20世纪30年代是一项非常普遍的生意。
Narrator: : Workers, teachers, doctors, writers — Americans of every stripe and color were party members, but although he shared many of their political concerns, there is nothing to prove that Oppenheimer himself was a Communist.
旁白：工人、教师、医生、作家——各种种族和肤色的美国人都是党员，但尽管他与他们有许多共同的政治关切，但没有任何证据证明奥本海默本人是共产党员。
Richard Rhodes, writer: : Oppenheimer never joined the party.
理查德·罗兹（Richard Rhodes），作家：：奥本海默从未入党。
The FBI spent 30 years trying to prove that Oppenheimer had been a Communist and was never able to do so.
联邦调查局花了30年的时间试图证明奥本海默是一名共产党员，但从未成功。
That’s probably good evidence that he never joined the party.
这可能是他从未入党的有力证据。
Narrator: : Oppenheimer was deeply bound to Tatlock, but she was volatile, moody, sometimes distraught.
旁白：奥本海默与塔特洛克有着深厚的感情，但她情绪不稳定，喜怒无常，有时甚至心烦意乱。
After 3 years, she broke off their relationship.
3年后，她断绝了他们的关系。
Priscilla McMillan, writer: : Their relationship appears to have been quite a stormy one, and Jean Tatlock, although for many years people who knew her didn’t say this, was uncertain whether she wanted to be with men or women, whether she was lesbian or heterosexual and I believe that must have been at the bottom of her crises with Oppenheimer.
普里西拉·麦克米伦（Priscilla McMillan），作家：他们的关系似乎相当激烈，而吉恩·塔特洛克（Jean Tatlock）虽然多年来认识她的人没有这么说，但她不确定她想和男人还是女人在一起，是女同性恋还是异性恋，我相信这一定是她与奥本海默危机的根源。
And how that fed into his own sexual certainties and uncertainties, one can only imagine.
而这如何影响了他自己的性确定性和不确定性，人们只能想象。
He was troubled.
他很烦恼。
That’s why he was attracted to troubled women: he was troubled.
这就是为什么他会被陷入困境的女人所吸引：他陷入了困境。
He didn’t know who he was.
他不知道自己是谁。
Narrator: : Oppenheimer would always feel a tender attachment to Jean, but they had gone their separate ways when Kitty Harrison set her cap for him.

基蒂今年 29 岁，也是一名前共产党员。
She was married to a doctor, but that didn’t stop her from going after the well-known scientist.
她嫁给了一位医生，但这并没有阻止她追求这位著名的科学家。
Richard Rhodes, writer: : When she saw Oppenheimer, she grabbed him.
作家理查德·罗兹：：当她看到奥本海默时，她抓住了他。
They were together, of course, for the rest of their lives but it was, God knows, a tumultuous relationship with a lot of bickering and a lot of fighting and a lot of drinking.
当然，他们在一起度过了余生，但天知道，这是一种混乱的关系，充满了争吵、打架和酗酒。
You know, Kitty and Jean were both dominant women.
要知道，基蒂和吉恩都是占主导地位的女性。
They were passionate women, and in some way he could comfort them.
她们都是充满激情的女人，他可以以某种方式安慰她们。
He could save them, or try to.
他可以拯救他们，或者尝试这样做。
Here were two women who both presented themselves as people who needed saving and Robert jumped in like the-like the white knight that he, I think, wanted to be.
这里有两个女人，她们都把自己表现为需要拯救的人，而罗伯特就像我认为他想成为的白衣骑士一样跳了进来。
Narrator: : In 1940, Oppenheimer became Kitty’s fourth husband.
旁白： 1940 年，奥本海默成为基蒂的第四任丈夫。
Less than 7 months later, their first child Peter was born.

At that time I did not fully understand – as in time I came to understand – how completely the Communist Party in this country was under the control of Russia.
当时我并不完全明白——随着时间的推移我才明白——这个国家的共产党是多么完全地处于俄罗斯的控制之下。
Many of it’s declared objectives seemed desirable to me.

物理学家弗里曼·戴森 (Freeman Dyson)： 1939 年，他与学生哈特兰·斯奈德 (Hartland Snyder) 一起发表了一篇伟大的著作，解释了恒星如何坍缩以及它们如何最终变成黑洞，而这在以前从未被理解过。
Narrator: : That same year, a startling dispatch from the abstruse world of nuclear physics changed the course of history – and Oppenheimer’s life.
旁白：：同年，来自核物理深奥世界的令人震惊的消息改变了历史进程，也改变了奥本海默的一生。
Two German chemists reported that the uranium nucleus could be split.

“The U-business is unbelievable,” Oppenheimer wrote.
“U 型企业令人难以置信，”奥本海默写道。
“Many points are still unclear.
“很多事情还不清楚。
I think it really not too improbable that a ten cm cube of uranium deuteride might very well blow itself to hell.” The discovery of nuclear fission began a race that would end with the atomic bomb.
我认为十厘米立方的氘化铀很可能将自己炸入地狱，这确实不太不可能。”核裂变的发现引发了一场竞赛，最终以原子弹结束。
Richard Rhodes, writer: : He saw already at the beginning, as I think any really good physicist did just by doing the numbers about the amount of energy released in this reaction, that this was going to change the world.
理查德·罗兹（Richard Rhodes），作家：：正如我认为任何真正优秀的物理学家通过计算该反应中释放的能量的数字一样，他从一开始就看到这将改变世界。
With that discovery came a change in the relationship between science and the nation state.
随着这一发现，科学与民族国家之间的关系发生了变化。
Every country in the world in 1939 and 1940 that had the capability of even beginning to work on a bomb, began that work, not only England and Germany and the United States, but also France, Japan, and the Soviet Union.
1939年和1940年，世界上每个有能力开始研制原子弹的国家都开始了这项工作，不仅是英国、德国和美国，还有法国、日本和苏联。

赫伯特·约克，物理学家：：他立即成名。
Nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, was such a big and new thing, and such a surprise to nearly everyone, that it was very widespread to ask your local physicists, “What does this all mean and what should we do?” You know the Rotary clubs did it, the Kiwanis did it, the PTA’s, I mean everybody — and not only that, whenever there was a pa-anything in the papers about it, it was always a brilliant nuclear physicist.
核武器、核能是一个如此巨大的新事物，几乎让每个人都感到惊讶，以至于人们普遍询问当地的物理学家：“这一切意味着什么，我们应该做什么？”你知道扶轮社、基瓦尼人、PTA 都这么做了，我指的是每个人——不仅如此，每当报纸上有任何关于这件事的报道时，总是一位才华横溢的核物理学家。
