当卡洛琳接起电话的时候,她的丈夫托马斯·萨金特正像往常一样,急匆匆地准备出门,他要搭乘火车去普林斯顿大学。在那里,研究生们在等着他上宏观经济学理论课。然而,这注定是一个非同寻常的早晨,电话里带着“瑞典腔调”的人为托马斯·萨金特报告了一个好消息,这位纽约大学经济学教授和他的老同学、老同事——普林斯顿大学的克里斯托弗·西姆斯教授一起获得了2011年诺贝尔经济学奖。
When Caroline picked up the phone, her husband, Thomas Sargent, was hurriedly preparing to go out as usual and was going to Princeton by train. There, graduate students are waiting for him to take a macroeconomics theory class. However, this is destined to be an extraordinary morning, and people on the phone with “Swedish accent” reported good news for Thomas Sargent, a professor of economics at New York University and his old classmate, his old colleague, - Christopher Sims of Princeton University won the 2011 Nobel Prize for Economics.
