Einstein's Inspiring Heir（爱因斯坦的激励人心的继承人）
8. After years of apparently harmonious marriage, however, rifts began appearing. As the accolades and awards poured in for Stephen, Jane—competent and intelligent herself began to resent living in his shadow. Deeply religious, she was also offended by his apparent atheism. Particularly galling to her was his concept, enunciated first before the Pope at a scientific meeting at the Vatican, that the universe might be completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, no beginning or end. If that were true, he asked provocatively, "What place, then, for a creator?" Still, friends were shocked in 1990 when Hawking abruptly ended their 25-year marriage, moving in with one of his nurses.
8、然而，在经过多年显然和谐的婚姻生活之后，他们之间开始出现裂痕。随着他获得的表彰和奖励越来越多，能干和富有才智的珍妮不甘心长期生活在他盛名的荫庇之下。另外，她是个虔诚的教徒，对丈夫不信教也深为不满。尤其令她恼火的是，他在梵蒂冈的一次科学会议上竟首次当着教皇的面宣布说，宇宙是自成一体的，无边无界无始无终。他用挑衅性的口吻问道：如果情况确实如此，那么“哪儿还有创世者的位置？”1990年他突然结束了同她25年的婚烟而投向了一名护士的怀抱。这使他的朋友们大为震惊。
9. What this book brings to the already crowded domain of Hawking lore is a rather successful merger of biography and physics. As it traces the course of Hawking's life, it pauses occasionally to prepare the reader for the mind-boggling complexities of relativity theory and the even more bizarre notions of quantum physics—twin pillars on which Hawking has constructed his theories—which he is currently attempting to unite in an all-encompassing theory. The authors characterize their early review of Newton's classical theory of gravitation, for example, as "a gentle workout in the foothills before we head for the dizzy heights."
9、这本书里充满了关于霍金的传说与故事，其特点是把传记同物理学成功地融合在一起。在叙述霍金生平的过程中，作者不时地穿插进一些物理知识（作为铺垫），以帮助读者对那深奥莫测的复杂的相对论以及那更为稀奇古怪的量子物理学理论有所了解。这两个理论是霍金构筑他自己理论的两根支柱，目前他正试图把二者兼容为一个总括性的理论。书中一开始就介绍了牛顿的经典的万有引力理论，作者们把这比作是“攀登那令人头晕目眩的顶峰之前在山脚下进行的轻松的准备活动。”
10. The exercise works. By the time the higher elevations are reached, such strange notions as Einsteinian curved space-time and the quantum uncertainty principle, heavy meals indeed, seem not so difficult to digest.
10、这个准备锻炼很有效。当攀登到一定高度时，像爱因斯坦的时空卷曲论和量子不确定原理等概念就出现了；而这些难以咀嚼的食物也就变得不那么难于消化了。
11. Still, it is the man, more than the science, who dominates this book, with his triumph over a terrible affliction, his courage, his humor and his admirable lack of self-pity. As Hawking's computer voice declared during the final scene in a BBC TV show, "I have a beautiful family, I am successful in my work, and I have written a best seller. One really can't ask for more."
11、不过，书中叙述还是以人为主，科学内容位居其次，写出了主人公战胜残疾的极大折磨，他的勇气，还有他的诙谐幽默和他那令人敬佩的毫不自怜的精神。正如他在英国广播公司的一个电视节目的末尾通过他的发声合成器所说的话，“我有一个美满的家庭，我在研究上取得了成就，我出版了一本畅销书。一个人实在不能有更多地希求了。”
