acquired savant syndrome 后天学者症候群

Twelve years ago, Jason Padgett was a college drop-out working at his dad's furniture store when a mugging at a Tacoma, Washington karaoke bar changed his life forever.

 

12年前，贾森·帕吉特只是一名大学辍学生，在父亲的家具店工作。然而，发生在华盛顿州塔科马一家卡拉OK厅的一起行凶抢劫案彻底改变了他的人生。

 

After suffering a profound brain injury, Padgett started to see the world in a whole new light - literally¹ - and became obsessed² with math and physics.

 

帕吉特的头部在那次抢劫中遭受重击，此后他眼中的世界完全变了样，他开始变得对数学和物理异常痴迷。

 

He has since been diagnosed as one of only 40 with acquired savant syndrome³, in which once-normal people become skilled in math, art or music after a brain injury.

 

之后，他被诊断为“后天学者症候群”，目前全世界仅有40个人患有此症，他是其中之一。患此症的人大多原本平凡无奇，但在脑部受伤后就会在数学、艺术或音乐领域十分擅长。
