Their young people still have an idea of the nation, but the national economy cannot support you, and now support for pure theory and pure science is extra hard to come by. Young intellectuals must therefore improve themselves; otherwise they will be confined to course work and nobody will cultivate them. Lacking in the most basic investment, how can you do research?
他們的年輕人還是有國家觀念，但國家經濟支持不了你了，現在搞純理論、純科學，再難獲得經濟支持；年輕一代的知識分子就必須自己琢磨，否則只會搞課業，又沒有人養你，缺乏最基本的投資，怎麼做研究？
