She married her lab partner. Looking for a place to do her own research in 1894, Marie was introduced to chemist Pierre Curie, lab director of the Municipal School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry in Paris. Pierre cleared a space for her in the lab, and the two hit it off. According to Marie, "Our work drew us closer and closer, until we were both convinced that neither of us could find a better life companion"
瑪麗·居里嫁給了她的實(shí)驗(yàn)室伙伴。1894年,為了給自己找一個(gè)能進(jìn)行研究的地方,瑪麗被介紹給巴黎市立工業(yè)物理與化學(xué)學(xué)院實(shí)驗(yàn)室主任,化學(xué)家皮埃爾·居里。皮埃爾在實(shí)驗(yàn)室給她騰出了一個(gè)空間,兩人一拍即合?,旣愓f:“工作讓我們走的越來越近,直到我們相信彼此都找不到更合適的伴侶。”
In a love letter to Marie, Pierre wrote:
在寫給瑪麗的一封情書中,皮埃爾寫道:
It would, nevertheless, be a beautiful thing in which I hardly dare believe, to pass through life together hypnotized in our dreams: your dream for your country; our dream for humanity; our dream for science.
無論如何,這將是一件美好的事情,我?guī)缀醪桓蚁嘈?,我們將沉醉在我們的?mèng)想中度過一生:你的波蘭夢(mèng); 我們的人類夢(mèng); 我們的科學(xué)夢(mèng)。
The two were married in the summer of 1895. Marie wore a dark blue outfit that she continued to wear in her lab for years afterward.
他們于1895年夏天結(jié)婚?,旣惔┲钏{(lán)色的衣服,在之后的很多年,她做實(shí)驗(yàn)都穿著這件衣服。
1895年是一個(gè)特殊的年份,原因如下:
The last three letters of both Marie and Curie end with the letters R, I, and E, which are amazingly the 18th, 9th, and 5th letters of the French alphabet where 18, 9, and 5 put side by side make 1895! Further, Marie turned 28 later that year where twice 28 equals 56, the sum of the numbers assigned to the letters of Curie.
“瑪麗”和“居里”的最后三個(gè)字母都是R,I和E。令人驚訝的是,這些字母在法語字母表分別排在第18,9,5位,且18、9、5剛好組成1895!此外,1895年下半年,瑪麗剛好28歲,兩個(gè)28相加等于56,這數(shù)字剛好是居里寫給瑪麗的信的字?jǐn)?shù)總和。
愛因斯坦曾說:“在所有著名人物中,居里夫人是唯一不為榮譽(yù)所腐蝕的人。” 居里夫婦深刻而悠遠(yuǎn)的情感,讓他們一次次取得突破,為人類做出杰出貢獻(xiàn)。有這樣的人陪伴在身邊,夫復(fù)何求。
