THE DISH OF NOODLES
　Incidentally, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this transposition of methods between two apparently unrelated fields of science. What has been learned in one field can at times help solve completely different problems. This offers a considerable savings of effort : once the link between polymers and critical phenomena was established, we suddenly had at our disposal, in a single stroke, 20 years’ worth of sophisticated knowledge contributed by the study of critical phenomena. We did not have to start from scratch!
　We were also lucky that a young team(that of G.Jannink), which worked with neutrons at the Atomic Energy Commission, developed an interest in polymers at the same time. Neutrons turn out to be a powerful tool for studying macromolecules. Finally, there was in Strasbourg a first-rate laboratory—the CRM, French acronym for Center for Macromolecule Research—founded by a great physical chemist, Charles Sadron. They welcomed us with open arms, and in the process spared us a lot of stupid mistakes.

>　Incidentally, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this transposition of methods between two apparently unrelated fields of science.

　ついでにいえば、科学の分野として明らかに関連性のない２つの分野の手法を置き換えてみることの重要性を述べておきたい。

> What has been learned in one field can at times help solve completely different problems.

　ある分野で獲得された知識が、他の全く異なる分野の問題を解く鍵になるということがたまにある。

> This offers a considerable savings of effort : once the link between polymers and critical phenomena was established, we suddenly had at our disposal, in a single stroke, 20 years’ worth of sophisticated knowledge contributed by the study of critical phenomena.

　そういうのは手間が省ける。ポリマーと臨界現象の間のつながりが立証されてしまえば、20年にも及ぶ臨界現象の研究から得られた成果を当たり前のように使用することができるようになったのだ。

> We did not have to start from scratch!

　もはやゼロから始めなくてよいのだ！

> We were also lucky that a young team(that of G.Jannink), which worked with neutrons at the Atomic Energy Commission, developed an interest in polymers at the same time.

　それに原子力委員会 (AEC) で中性子の研究をしていた若い研究チーム (G. Jannink のいるチームだ） が同じ時期にポリマーに関心を持ってくれたのが幸いした。

> Neutrons turn out to be a powerful tool for studying macromolecules.

　中性子は高分子を研究するための強力なツールになったのだ。

> Finally, there was in Strasbourg a first-rate laboratory—the CRM, French acronym for Center for Macromolecule Research—founded by a great physical chemist, Charles Sadron.

　それにシュトラスブールに第一級の研究所があった。CRM （Center for Macromolecule Research のフランス語表記の略称だ） という、偉大な物理化学者のシャルル・サドロン (Charles Sadron) の設立した研究所である。

> They welcomed us with open arms, and in the process spared us a lot of stupid mistakes.

　その研究所は諸手を挙げて歓迎してくれ、我々の犯した多くの失敗も大目に見てくれた。

お礼
