To illustrate this point, in Outliers Gladwell talks about two men with genius level intellect& Christopher Langan and Robert Oppenheimer. 为阐释这一点,在《异类》(Outliers)一书中,马尔科姆·格拉德威尔(Gladwell)谈到两个天才级别的人&克里斯托弗·兰根(ChristopherLangan)和罗伯特·奥本海默(RobertOppenheimer)。
Many readers may know Oppenheimer as the father of the atomic bomb, but Langan is much more obscure. 很多读者可能知道奥本海默是原子弹之父,但兰根却远没那么出名。
However, Langan isn't teaching theoretical physics at Harvard& he's a rancher in Missouri. 然而,兰根最终也没能在哈佛教授理论物理&他只是密苏里的一名农场工人。
