And at a gathering of prestigious American mathematicians, he walked to the board, took up a piece of chalk, and started writing out the powers of two: two, four, eight, 16 -- come on, join in with me, you know how it goes -- 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024, 2,048.
在一个著名美国数学家的聚会上， 他走到黑板前，拿起一支粉笔， 开始写2的幂： 2，4，8，16—— 来吧，跟我一起，你们知道它怎么进行下去的—— 32，64，128，256， 512，1024，2048。
