[...]112: These elusive animals have fascinated Miriam Darlington, a poet, since childhood, when she first read “Ring of Bright Water”, Gavin Maxwell's classic 1960 tale about living with otters. 3: “Never mind the slippery reality it portrays,” she writes, “the spell of its otters took hold of me long ago and I still long to see one in the wild.”

1: Naturally, their neutrinophone is digital. [...]112: A pulse of neutrinos (small, elusive subatomic particles with no electric charge) corresponds to the digit "1" while no pulse corresponds to "0". 3: The neutrinos themselves are created by smashing bunches of protons into a target made of graphite. 4: They are detected roughly 1km away by researchers who, in their day jobs, work on a neutrino collaboration called MINERvA. 5: By modulating the pulses of protons the group was able to send a message in binary that, when translated, read "neutrino". 6: Whether this will go down in history alongside Alexander Graham Bell's first message, "Mr Watson, come here, I want to see you," remains to be seen.

1:显然，他们的中微子电话通信是数字化的。[...]112:一个中微子（一种不带电荷形态诡异的亚原子粒子）脉冲对应着逻辑电平"1"，没有脉冲时就对应着逻辑电平"0"。3:中微子产生于一些质子束轰击一个石墨目标后产生脉冲介子，介子随后衰变而成。4:整天工作于一个「主注入器之中微子V-A交互作用实验（MINERvA）的研究员们在大概在一公里远处能检测到中微子。5:通过对质子束脉冲的调制编码后，以二进制码的形式进行中微子传输。6: 是否这将延续亚历山大?格拉汉姆?贝尔(Alexander Graham Bell)的历史，以"Watson先生，请过来，我想见到你"进行首次中微子通信，我们拭目以待。

[...]111: As Mr Mee explains, the elusive particle is believed to be the physical manifestation of the so-called Higgs field, which has pervaded the universe since shortly after the Big Bang. 2: In the beginning, all particles were massless. 3: This, as any physicist will tell you, is the same as saying they zipped around at the speed of light; a massive particle, by contrast, is by definition more sluggish. 4: When the universe's temperature dropped below 1 trillion degrees or so, though, it underwent a phase transition: suddenly the Higgs field flipped on and some particles, but not others, began interacting with Higgs bosons. Those that did slowed down. 5: In other words, they gained mass. 6: As a consequence, some kind of primordial symmetry was, to use physicists' jargon, “spontaneously broken”. 7: If this sounds abstruse, Mr Mee shows how it led to the formation of complex atoms, and thus all of life—which explains why some call the Higgs the “god particle”. 8: The author also offers an inkling of the underlying maths in terms of elementary algebra. (Though he or his editor could have had more faith in readers and not relegated this to an appendix.)

[...]111:正如梅所解释的，人们相信这些难捉摸的粒子就是所谓的希格斯场的物质证明，而在大爆炸后不久希格斯场就开始遍及宇宙了。2:起初，所有的粒子都是没有质量的。3:正如任何一位物理学家都会告诉你的，这等于是说它们以光速四处飞过；相比之下，就定义来看一个有质量的粒子缓慢多了。4:不过，当宇宙温度降至低于1万亿度左右，它经历了一个相变：希格斯场突然翻转，一些粒子开始与希格斯玻色子相互作用，而其它粒子则不与希格斯玻色子相互作用。参与相互作用的那些粒子慢了下来。5:换句话说，它们获得了质量。6:因此，用物理学家的行话说，某种原始的对称性“自发破坏了”。7:如果这听起来很深奥，那么梅就展示了它如何导致了复杂原子的形成，从而形成了所有的生命，这点解释了为什么有些人称希格斯介子为“上帝粒子”。8:笔者还以初等代数的方式提供了基础数学的端倪。（不过梅或他的编辑本可对读者更有信心，而不是把这端倪归进附录）。

The book fails, though, to explain why Thompson was so fascinating. It tells of his talents, knowledge, contacts, wit and urbanity, but it does not convince. He remains an elusive , insubstantial figure, if a very sad one, summed up by a journalist who knew him: “At the end, these foreigners realise they have no home.”

不过这本书却未能解释为何汤普森如此魅力非凡。书中讲述了他的天赋、知识、社交、智慧和礼貌，但却不能令人信服。对读者而言，他仍是个难以捉摸、缺乏现实感的人物，但悲剧色彩浓厚。一个了解他的记者这样总结道：“最后，这些外国人都意识到他们没有家园。”
