天才少女被哈佛预言为“下一个爱因斯坦”！

Being compared to geniuses like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein is not something that happens to the average person.
被比作史蒂芬·霍金以及阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦这样的天才这种事不会发生在一个普通人身上。

So when we tell you that Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is far from your average human, we mean it.
所以当我们告诉你萨布丽娜·冈萨雷斯·帕斯特斯基远远超过了普通人的水准，我们是认真的。

At the age of just 23, Paterski has already accomplished more than most of us ever will in our lifetime.
年仅23岁的帕特斯基所取得的成就已经超过了我们多数人一生才能获得的成绩。

When she was only 14-years-old, the Chicago native, constructed her own single engine airplane - by herself.
在她只有14岁的时候，这位芝加哥少女就独自建造了自己的单引擎飞机。

If that wasn't impressive enough she then flew it across Lake Michigan, becoming the youngest person to ever fly their own plane.
如果这还不够让人印象深刻的话，之后她又驾驶着飞机飞越了密歇根湖，成为有史以来最年轻的驾驶着自己的飞机航行的人。

The whole venture took two years to complete, and she documented the entire experience on YouTube.
整场冒险活动用了两年才完成，而且她还记录了自己的所有经历并上传到了Youtube（一家视频网站）上。

She then graduated from Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in 2010 and enrolled with the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
之后，在2010年她从伊利诺伊数理高中毕业了，然后进入了著名的麻省理工学院。

After just three years at MIT she has already achieved the highest possible grade point average of 5.0.
她在麻省理工学院只用了三年时间就取得了最高的平均绩点5.0。

She is now working towards her doctorate at the world renowned Harvard University, with full academic freedom and no interference from staff.
如今她在举世闻名的哈佛大学攻读博士学位，拥有完全的学术自由，并且不会受到工作人员的干扰。

Once again she is only 23-years-old.
再说一次，她只有23岁。

What's even more remarkable is that she is no longer interested in building planes but has turned her attention to physics; namely black holes and how gravity affects space and time - hence the Einstein and Hawking comparisons.
更非凡的是，如今她不再对造飞机感兴趣了，而是把注意力放在了物理学上，例如黑洞理论以及重力是如何影响空间和时间的，因此我们把她比作了爱因斯坦和霍金。

She particularly wants to study 'quantum gravity,' where see will attempt to understand the link between gravity within the context of quantum physics.
她特别想研究“量子引力”，想试着了解重力与量子物理学之间的关系。

If her research proves successful, discoveries in this area could vastly change the way we understand the universe.
如果她的研究成功的话，在这一领域的发现会极大地改变我们了解宇宙的方式。

During an interview earlier this year she said:
在今年早些时候的一次采访中，她说：

Be optimistic about what you believe you can do.
你要对你相信自己能做到的事持乐观态度。

When you're little, you say a lot of things about what you'll do or be when you're older - I think it's important not to lose sight of those dreams.
在你小的时候，你讲了许多关于自己将来要做什么或是长大后要成为什么样的人，我认为重要的是不要忘记曾经的梦想。
