双语•快讯 | 惊天消息！今天物理学家霍金去世了
今天Yee君被一个突然的消息震惊到：著名物理学家史蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking）去世了，享年76岁。
Stephen Hawking died Wednesday after complications due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. He was 76.
3月14日，史蒂芬•霍金因肌肉萎缩性侧索硬化症并发症去世，享年76岁。
The world-renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist was best known for his work on black holes. Hawking theorized that, contrary to the prevailing scientific belief that black holes were inescapable for all forms of matter and energy, they actually emitted a form of radiation ― now known as Hawking radiation. He also played a key role in the mathematical effort to unify Einstein’s general theory of relativity with the emergent field of quantum physics.
这位享誉世界的理论物理学家、宇宙学家因其对黑洞的研究而闻名，他提出了与先前科学信念相悖的理论，认为任何物质和能量都无法挣脱黑洞，事实上黑洞会发出一种射线，即现在众所周知的“霍金辐射”。在用数学方法将爱因斯坦相对论和刚兴起的量子力学领域相统一的努力上，霍金同样起到了关键作用。
Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with a debilitating motor neuron disease when he was 21. He went on to become one of the world's most prominent scientists.
21岁时霍金被诊断患上运动神经元萎缩病，但并未阻止他成为世界上最杰出的科学家。
He was the author of several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.It was a massive hit: The book was on The New York Times’ best-seller list for three years and The Sunday Times’ U.K. best-seller list for nearly five. Its publication propelled Hawking to international fame that’s endured to this day. He published five additional general-audience books on science, plus one memoir and four children’s books. He also guest-starred on both “The Simpsons” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”
他著有包括《时间简史》在内的若干科普类书籍。这部作品大卖，连续三年跻身《纽约时报》畅销书榜单，连续近五年跻身《星期日泰晤士报》英国畅销书榜单。作品的出版让霍金享誉国际，一直持续至今。他还出版了5部科普作品、1部回忆录和4部儿童读物，并作为客串角色出现在《辛普森一家》和《星际迷航：下一代》中。

Hawking was born on Jan. 8, 1942 ― the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death ― in Oxford, England, to Frank. He and his three younger siblings grew up mostly in the town of St. Albans, just north of London, in what has been described as a highly intellectually-engaged home.
霍金于1942年1月8日——意大利物理及天文学家伽利略去世300周年那天——出生在英国牛津。他和三个兄弟姐妹主要生活在英国北部的圣奥尔本斯，在一个被称为高智商家庭中成长。
His children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, said: "We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years."
他的孩子露西、罗伯特和蒂姆表示：“敬爱的父亲于今天去世，我们深感悲痛。他是一位伟大的科学家，也是一位杰出的人物，他的成就和遗产将会持续影响后世。”
致敬霍金！
