I felt that there were two areas of theoretical physics.I might study at Cambridge.
我感覺理論物理,有兩個領域 我在劍橋可能會研究的兩個領域
One was cosmology, the study of the very large.The other was elementary particles,the study of the very small.
一個是宇宙學 研究宏觀 另一個是基本粒子 研究微觀
However, I thought elementary particles were less attractive because there was no proper theory.
然而 我認為基礎粒子 缺乏吸引力 因為沒有合適的理論
All they could do was arrange the particles in families like in botany.
他們所要做的 就是粒子的分類 就像植物學
In cosmology, on the other hand,there was a well-defined theory Einstein's general theory of relativity.
而在宇宙學里 換句話說 有定義明確的理論 愛因斯坦的相對論
It was a very cold year and the ice on Verulamium Pond,it was frozen there and we all went skating.
那一年很冷 維魯拉米恩池塘 都結了冰 我們一起出去滑冰
And Stephen managed to skate fairly well but then, he and I were close together.
史蒂芬滑的相當好 但是后來 他離我非常的近
He wasn't skating in a very advanced way but nor was I, if it comes to that.
他滑冰的水平不是很高 但我會那樣滑
He fell and he couldn't get up.So I took him to a cafe to warm up and he told me then all about it.And it was diagnosed.
他摔倒了 爬不起來 我帶著他來到咖啡館暖身 他告訴我關于這件事的一切 并且是確診的
I insisted on going to see his doctor because it seemed to me however long you're going to live.
我堅持要見他的醫生 因為不管他還能活多久
there's probably something someone can do about it at least anyhow to make things easier for people.
我都想知道有沒有什么方法或什么人能夠幫助他 至少能讓人更容易接受
I won't mention the doctor's name but I got to see him at the London Clinic.
我不想提醫生的名字 我和他在倫敦的診所見面
He was rather surprised that I should bother to come 'round to see him.After all, I was only Stephen's mother.
他見到我很驚奇 我竟然不辭勞苦地找到他 畢竟 我只是史蒂芬的母親
He was quite nice. He agreed to see me in a rather grand way.And he said, "Yes, it's all very sad.
他非常友好 他同意和我正式會面 他說道 "是的 非常抱歉"
Brilliant young man cut off in the prime of his youth."But of course I said, "What can we do?What can we do to sort of"
"才華橫溢的年輕人在他的年輕時即將隕落" 當然我問 "我們該怎么做"有什么我們可以做的"
Can we get physiotherapy?Can we get anything like that that will help in any way?"
"需要做理療么" "有沒有什么能幫到忙嗎"
He said, "Well, actually, no.There's nothing I can do, really. More or less, that's it."
他說 "事實上 沒有""真的 我不能幫上一點忙 差不多 就是這樣"
