我的偶像霍金
Stephen Hawking is considered the world's foremost living theoretical physicist. He's an expert on black holes whose stated intention is to unify quantum mechanics with Einstein's general theory of relativity, forming a single theory to explain the origin (and end) of the universe. Hawking, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, is the author of the best-selling book A Brief History of Time and something of a celebrity: he has made guest appearances on the TV shows Star Trek and The Simpsons. Hawking has suffered from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease) since he was a young man and is confined to a wheelchair.
In 1974 Hawking calculated that black holes emit a form of energy now known as Hawking radiation. Since then he has analyzed the shape and fate of the universe in technical studies and popular books. Although Hawking has been afflicted with severe progressive muscle degeneration since the early 1960s, he manages with the use of a speech synthesizer to continue as Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University (since 1979), the chair once held by Isaac Newton.
In 1979 Hawking took the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. According to Hawking's own site, "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."

史蒂芬霍金被认为是世界上最重要的活理论物理学家。他是一位黑洞专家,其目的是将量子力学与爱因斯坦的广义相对论结合起来,形成一个解释宇宙起源和终结的单一理论。霍金,一个在剑桥大学的数学教授,是畅销书的一个时间和一个名人简史作者:他客串电视剧星际旅行和辛普森。霍金患有ALS(肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症,又称Lou Gehrig病)是因为他是一个年轻人,坐轮椅。
在1974霍金计算黑洞发射一种能量现在被称为霍金辐射。从那时起,他分析了宇宙的形状和命运的技术研究和流行的'书籍。尽管霍金患有严重的进行性肌肉变性自20世纪60年代初,他管理的一个语音合成器继续在剑桥大学卢卡斯数学教授的使用(1979年),曾为艾萨克·牛顿主席。
1979霍金曾在剑桥卢卡斯数学教授的职位。根据Hawking自己的网站,“主席成立于1663的钱留在Reverend Henry Lucas的意志,谁一直是议会成员的大学。这是第一次举行的巴罗,然后在1663由艾萨克·牛顿。
曾经爆出金句“时间有没有尽头”的英国剑桥大学著名物理学家霍金76岁离开我们,世间少一个天才,霍金为什么伟大?大家看看下面的霍金所有名言中英对照吧!

1、海伦·凯勒--残疾人的骄傲
美国盲聋女作家、教育家海伦·凯勒一岁半时因病丧失了视觉和听力,这对于一般人来说是不可想象、不可忍受的痛苦。然而海伦并没有向命运屈服。在老师的教育、帮助下,她凭坚强的毅力战胜了病残,学会了讲话,用手指"听话"并掌握了5种文字。24岁时,她以优异的成绩毕业于著名的哈佛大学拉德克利夫女子学院。以后她把毕生的精力投入到为世界盲人、聋人谋利益的事业中,曾受到许多国家,政府、人民的赞誉和嘉奖。1959年,联合国曾发起"海伦·凯勒"运动。她写的自传作品《我生活的故事》,成为英语文学的经典作品,被翻译成多种文字广泛发行。
分析:敢于正视人生的疾苦和磨难,是海伦成功的根本。正是如此,她才成了全世界残疾人的精神代表,成了残疾人的骄傲。

2、博迪眨眼写作
博迪是一名法国记者。他在一次心脏病发作后四肢瘫痪,只有左眼可以活动。但他决心把打好腹稿的作品《潜水衣与蝴蝶》写出来,于是他要求笔录员门迪宝协助他,每天花6小时笔录他的著述。而他们之间的沟通只能靠左眼的眨动来完成。每次,门迪宝按顺序读出法语常用字母,博迪每眨眼一次表示字母正确,眨两次表示错误,然后拼成词语。这种常人难以想象的"写作"终于在数月后奇迹般地完成了。这本150页的著作已被出版,受到人们的欢迎。
分析:"博迪眨眼写作"的事迹让我们想到史蒂芬·霍金,身体上的极度残缺却丝毫不能阻止他们在文学及科学研究上的昂首阔步。

3、红顶商人的中庸之道
胡雪岩以他卓越的圆通能力在夹缝里生存发展。在官场、漕帮黑白两道的夹缝里,在民族经济与西方经济的夹缝里,在左宗棠与李鸿章的'夹缝里,他踢打出了一个世界、一方天地。胡雪岩的飞黄腾达是熟谙、遵守、利用潜规则的结果。但遗憾的是,这个夹缝最终毁了他,左宗棠的死使他成了官场倾轧的牺牲品。从白手起家到富甲天下,再回到一文不名,胡雪岩走完了他人生轨迹的圆圈。
分析:一个绝顶聪明之人,往往善于利用规则而不是创造规则。胡雪岩的一生验证了这一道理,同时也说明另外一个道理:"玩火者必自焚"。

4、屈原以死报国
屈原一生经历了楚威王、楚怀王、顷襄王三个时期,而主要活动于楚怀王时期。这个时期正是中国即将实现大一统的前夕,"横则秦帝,纵则楚王"。屈原出身贵族,又明于治乱,娴于辞令,故而早年深受楚怀王的宠信,位为左徒、三闾大夫。屈原为实现楚国的统一大业,对内积极辅佐怀王变法图强,对外坚决主张联齐抗秦,使楚国一度出现了一个国富兵强、威震诸侯的局面。但是在内政外交上屈原与楚国腐朽贵族集团发生了尖锐的矛盾,由于上官大夫等人的嫉妒,屈原后来遭到群小的诬陷和楚怀王的疏远。他被流放江南,辗转流离于沅、湘二水之间。顷襄王二十一年(公元前278年),秦将白起攻破郢都,屈原悲愤难捱,遂自沉汨罗江,以身殉国。
分析:为了国家和人民的利益而献出了自己的生命,崇高的品德和情操在屈原的身上体现得淋漓尽致。

5、岳飞"精忠报国"
岳飞应募参军,因战功累累不断升职,宋高宗亲手写了"精忠岳飞"四个字,制成旗后赐给他。又召他到寝阁,对他说:"中兴的大事,全部委托给你了。"金人攻打拱州、亳州,刘锜向朝廷告急,宋高宗命令岳飞火速增援,并在赐给岳飞的亲笔信中说:"设施之事,一以委卿,朕不遥度。"岳飞于是调兵遣将,分路出战,自己率领轻装骑兵驻扎在郾城,兵锋锐气十足。但是,后来高宗和秦桧决定与金议和,向金称臣纳贡。就在岳飞积极准备渡过黄河收复失地的时候,高宗和秦桧却连发12道金字牌班师诏,命令岳飞退兵。后岳飞被以"莫须有"的罪名毒死于临安风波亭,时年仅39岁。
分析:"国家有难,匹夫有责"。岳飞的忠勇故事千百年来激励了一代又一代中国人。每当外侮当前,人们总是以岳飞为榜样,坚决抵抗。
