当我还是一个孩子时，我想成为一个物理学家。我恳求妈妈让我去东京学习物理。我答应我会赢得诺贝尔物理学奖。而在50年后，我回到我的村庄，对我母亲说：“你看，我遵守了我的承诺，我赢得了诺贝尔奖。”

“不，”我那很有幽默感的母亲说，“你答应的是物理学奖!”

引用自：（加）布莱特著. 非常言来自诺贝尔奖的声音[M]. 2012 第 17 页

"As a matter of fact," he recalls, "as a child, I wanted to be a physicist. I begged my mother to let me go to Tokyo to study physics. I promised I would win the Nobel Prize for Physics.

"So, 50 years later, I returned to my village and said to my mother, 'See, I have kept my promise. I won the Nobel Prize.' 'No,' said my mother, who has a very fine sense of humor, 'You promised it would be in physics!'"

【机器翻译】“事实上，”他回忆道，“小时候，我想成为一名物理学家。我恳求母亲让我去东京学习物理。我承诺会获得诺贝尔物理学奖。”。

“所以，50年后，我回到我的村庄，对我母亲说，‘看，我信守了我的承诺。我获得了诺贝尔奖。’‘不，’我的母亲说，她很有幽默感，‘你答应过会在物理学上！’”

Eventually, Oe convinced his mother to let him leave the close-knit community of his village to study French literature at Tokyo University, after promising her to bring back the "Nobel Prize in physics." This odd pledge was in reference to Hideki Yukawa, the highly admired Japanese physicist who had won the Nobel Prize for discovering electrons.*

A tough promise to fulfill, one would think. Oe however found humor abundant in this odd guarantee.

"For almost 40 years, I was tortured by my conscience," Oe said. "When I did win the Nobel Prize, however, I could still imagine my mother looking at me and saying 'Shame, shame on Oe. ... I wanted the prize in physics.'"

【机器翻译】最终，大江在向母亲承诺带回“诺贝尔物理学奖”后，说服母亲让他离开村子里关系密切的社区，去东京大学学习法国文学。这个奇怪的承诺是指备受钦佩的日本物理学家汤川秀树，他因发现电子而获得诺贝尔奖。*

有人会想，这是一个难以兑现的承诺。然而，大江却发现这种奇怪的保证充满了幽默。

大江说：“近40年来，我一直受到良心的折磨。”。“然而，当我获得诺贝尔奖时，我仍然可以想象我的母亲看着我说‘真可耻，真可耻……我想要物理学奖。’”

注释：*汤川秀树（Hideki Yukawa）预言了“meson （介子, mesotron）”，不是“电子, electron”。
