对于做物理的人来说，发篇PRL是值得庆贺的事情。 这种感觉基本上从无名小卒到成名大家都相似吧？ 这不， Marvin Cohen最近在PRL撰写了篇essay，写道自己对PRL发表的心情： 

Speaking personally, I was trained to do the best research I could do and to try to ‘‘get a PRL’’ to announce what I had done. My second publication as a graduate student was a PRL, and I remember being
incredibly proud. Although I’ve had the good fortune to publish about 100 PRLs since then, the thrill is still there when I get an acceptance notice. I’m sure that most physicists  feel the same way.
