Members of the public have been invited to apply for tickets to attend a celebration of Professor Stephen Hawking's life at a memorial service in Westminster Abbey on June 15, with visitors from the future welcome to apply.

史蒂芬·霍金教授的追悼會(huì)將于6月15日在威斯敏斯特大教堂舉行，主辦方邀請(qǐng)公眾，也歡迎那些來自未來的人們申請(qǐng)入場門票以參與對(duì)霍金生命的禮贊。

Hawking once held a "time traveler party" back in 2009, to see if any would turn up if he posted the invite after the party, but no one turned up at that time.

霍金曾在2009年舉辦過一場“時(shí)間旅行者的派對(duì)”，等派對(duì)結(jié)束后他再發(fā)出請(qǐng)柬，看是否會(huì)有人出現(xiàn)，但那時(shí)并沒有人到場。

A legendary figure in the modern history of physics, Hawking, who died on March 14 this year, is known for his work with black holes and relativity.

現(xiàn)代物理學(xué)史上的傳奇人物霍金于今年3月14日去世，他以黑洞和相對(duì)論方面的研究聞名。

He broke new ground on the basic laws which govern the universe, including the revelation that black holes have a temperature and produce radiation, now known as Hawking radiation.

他在管理宇宙的基本定律上有了新的突破，包括揭示了黑洞有溫度、產(chǎn)生輻射--現(xiàn)在被稱為霍金輻射的事實(shí)。
