It should be based on what is achieved, not on what is promised. To give it to anyone for just nine months borders on farcical, it just politicizes the Nobel even further, when that was not the purpose of the award.

这要看实绩，而不是许诺。颁奖给一个才上台九个月的人根本毫无意义。这一切只能让诺贝尔奖更加政治化，那可不是这个奖的初衷。

Gee, ya think?

The prize was devalued enough when it was given to Al Gore for junk science.

This just further pushes it to mediocrity and defines not as a true measure of lifetime achievement and contribution but rather a silly popularity contest.

What a joke.

为一通垃圾科学把奖颁给戈尔的时候，它已经贬值得够厉害了。

现在这只能进一步将其推向平庸，表明它不是一个评价终身成就的奖项，而仅仅是一个愚蠢的，看看谁更受欢迎的竞赛。

真搞笑。
