Women Are a Mystery to British Physicist Hawking
The biggest mystery in the universe perplexing one of the world’s best known scientists is—women.
When New Scientist magazine asked Brief History of Time author Stephen Hawking what he thinks about most, the Cambridge University professor renowned for unraveling5 some of the most complex questions in modern physics answered: “Women. They are a complete mystery.”
The wheelchair-bound Hawking, who only recently retired from a post once held by Isaac Newton, talked to the magazine in the run-up to celebrations for his 70th birthday about his biggest scientific blunder and his hopes for modern science.6
1. scuffle: 扭打，混战。
2. matriarch: 女族长，女酋长；herd: 兽群，牧群。
3. cornea: 眼角膜。
4. anaesthetic: 麻醉剂。
5. unravel: 理解，解释。
6. run-up: （重要事件的）前夕；blunder: 错误。
令世界上最著名的一位科学家都感到困惑不解的谜题是——女人。
《新科学人》杂志访问《时间简史》的作者史蒂芬·霍金时问道：他最常思考的问题是什么？这位以解答现代物理学中一些最复杂的问题而闻名的剑桥大学教授的答案竟是：“女人。她们是个不折不扣的谜题。”
最近，一直依赖轮椅行动的霍金从曾经属于艾萨克·牛顿的教职上退了下来。他在自己70大寿庆祝活动前的空档接受了该杂志的采访，还谈及了他在科学研究上犯下的最大错误以及他对现代科学的希望。
