World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.
世界知名物理学家史蒂芬霍金去世，享年76岁。
The British scientist was famed for his work with black holes and relativity, and wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.
这位英国科学家以他主要研究领域，黑洞和相对论研究，闻名于世。并且著有多部科学著作，包括《时间简史》。
At the age of 22 Prof Hawking was given only a few years to live after being diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease.
霍金教授在他22岁时被确诊为一种很罕见的运动神经元病，并断言他仅能活几年。
The illness left him in a wheelchair and largely unable to speak except through a voice synthesizer.
疾病使得他全身瘫痪，只能终身与轮椅为伴，丧失语言能力，只能通过语音合成器发声。
They praised his "courage and persistence" and said his "brilliance and humour" inspired people across the world. “We will miss him forever.”
他的勇气和毅力，才华和幽默将鼓舞全世界的人们。

成就：
1、史蒂芬·威廉·霍金是本世纪享有国际盛誉的伟人之一，剑桥大学数学及理论物理学系教授，当代最重要的广义相对论和宇宙论家。荣获英国剑桥大学卢卡斯数学教席，这是自然科学史上继牛顿和狄拉克之后荣誉最高的教席。
2、20世纪70年代他与彭罗斯一道证明了著名的奇性定理，为此他们共同获得了1988年的沃尔夫物理奖。他因此被誉为继爱因斯坦之后世界上最著名的科学思想家和最杰出的理论物理学家。
3、斯蒂芬·威廉·霍金的研究为理解黑洞和宇宙本源奠定了基础，他在动画片《辛普森一家》（The Simpsons）和科幻剧集 《星际迷航：下一代》（Star Trek：The Next Generation）中的演出也同样精彩。

Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time. His supervisor was Denis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge. After gaining his Ph.D. he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University. It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.
His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel. Stephen Hawking has two popular books published; his best seller A Brief History of Time, and his later book, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays.
