昨天中午，斯蒂芬霍金去世，享年76岁，斯蒂芬威廉霍金(Stephen William Hawking)1942年1月8日出生于英国牛津，英国剑桥大学著名物理学家，现代最伟大的物理学家之一，20世纪获得国际声誉的伟人之一。
我们一起来看看霍金的十大英语名言，让我们对这位伟大的人有更多的了解吧！
1. “Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.”
“永恒是段很长的时间，特别是对于尽头而言。”
2. “The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be pinely inspired.”
“科学的整个历史是一个渐进的自我实现的历程，重大的事件不会任意发生，但是他们反映了一种潜在的次序，而不会简单地由灵感产生。”
3. “Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.”
“生活如果不有趣的话那将成为一幕悲剧.”
4. “To show this diagram properly, I would really need a four dimensional screen. However, because of government cuts, we could manage to provide only a two dimensional screen.”
“为了完整地展示这个图表，我确实需要一个四倍空间的屏幕。然而，由于政府支出的削减，我们只能提供一个两倍空间的屏幕。”
5. “My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus.”
“当我21岁的时候我的期望降低到零。从那以后每件事情对我来说都是意外的礼物。”
6. “Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales. In the end, however, I did put in one equation, Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc2. I hope that this will not scare off half of my potential readers.”
“有人告诉我在我书中每个方程式将会降低一半的销售量。结果，我确实放了一个方程式——爱因斯坦著名的等式，E=mc2。我发现这并没有吓跑我一半的潜在读者。
7. “I find that American & Scandinavian accents work better with women.” In response to a question about the American accent of his synthesiser.
“我发现美国和斯堪的纳维亚口音更适合女士。”回应一个关于他的电子发声器的美国口音问题。
8. “My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”
“我的目的很简单。它是一个对宇宙的完整理解，为什么它是这样的和为什么它存在着，仅此而已。”
9. “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
“我意识到即使那些宣称一切都是先天注定的人们，我们都无法去改变他们，看到他们将来该走的路。”
10. “Einstein was wrong when he said “God does not play dice”. Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can’t be seen.”
“爱因斯坦当他说‘上帝并不掷骰子’的时候是错误的”。考虑到黑洞的因素，上帝不仅仅玩骰子，他还经常把他们扔到我们看不到的地方来使我们迷惑。
