今天,伟大的理论物理学家、数学家、哲学家、黑洞理论的奠基人、身残志坚的资产阶级斗士史蒂芬·霍金永远离开了我们。”他的想象力遨游太空” (His Mind Roamed the Cosmos,纽约时报标题),”多年以后,他的著作和遗产仍将留存于世,他的勇气、坚持以及他的才华和幽默鼓舞了全世界” (家人语)。
为弘扬先进,激励后进,特将其精选语录分享如下,以利效尤。
论黑洞
《时空本质论》 (The Nature Of Space And Time),1996年
"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"
“爱因斯坦曾说 ‘上帝从不掷骰子’。恰恰相反,黑洞的研究表明上帝的确会掷骰子,偶尔还让骰子销声匿迹,令人徒唤奈何。”
论宇宙存在的原因
《时间简史》 (A Brief History Of Time),1988年
"If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God."
如果我们能找到答案,那将是人类理性的终极胜利 — 那时我们就能洞悉上帝的思想。
论上帝
《大设计》 (The Grand Design),2010年
"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
“点燃蓝色的硝纸让宇宙开始运转,无需祈求上帝。”
论商业成功
2004年12月,霍金接受《纽约时报》采访
"I want my books sold on airport bookstalls."
“望拙作见诸于机场书摊。”
论名望
2006年12月,霍金接受以色列电视台采访
"The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognised. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away."
“出名有负面影响。不管到哪儿都会被人认出来。墨镜和假发用处不大。轮椅会暴露我的身份。”
“吾受名所累甚矣。所到之处,无人不识。乔装改扮亦无用也。困囿于轮椅,无所遁形。”
论不完美的世界
2010年,探索频道,《与史蒂芬·霍金走进宇宙》
"Without imperfection, you or I would not exist."
“万物浑然天成,吾辈因何而生?”
论安乐死
2006年6月,《人民日报》网站
"The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope."
“不幸之人有权结束自己的生命,尽可自行决定。但是,那将铸成大错。生命虽不幸,总有可为,也总可有所作为。活着就有希望。”
论人类与外星生命接触的可能性
2004年,国家地理频道,《科学新发现:与外星生命接触》
"I think it would be a disaster. The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us. The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy, and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low."
“我想那会是一场灾难。外星生命很可能遥遥领先于我们。在我们所处的星球上,先进种族遭遇较为原始人类的历史是不幸的,虽然他们属于同一物种。我觉得我们应当保持低调。”
论确诊运动神经元疾病
2004年12月,霍金接受《纽约时报》采访
"My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus."
“21岁时,我的期望就破灭了。从那时起,一切都是额外的福利。”
论死亡
2011年5月,霍金接受英国《卫报》采访
I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
“在我过去49年的生命中,早逝的可能性一直存在。我不畏惧死亡,但我不想早早离去。我还有很多未竟之事。”
