Flatow: This is Ira Flatow and you're listening to NPR's Science Friday. Joining us today by phone from his office in Pasadena, California is Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
我是Ira Flatow 您现在收听的是美国国家公共电台 "科学星期五"。今天的电话连线嘉宾是来自California州Pasadena的Sheldon Cooper博士。
Kripke: Oh, this is going to be a riot.
喔，要造成轰动了。
Flatow: Thanks for being with us today, Dr.Cooper.
感谢您的到来 Cooper博士。
Sheldon: My pleasure, Ira.
荣幸之至，Ira。
Flatow: Now, let's talk about magnetic monopoles. Can you explain to our audience just what a monopole is?
现在，我们来探讨一下磁单极子。你能向我们的观众们解释一下什么是磁单极子吗?
Sheldon: Of course. First, consider an ordinary magnet which has, as even the most uneducated in your audience must know, two poles. A north and south pole. If you cut that in half, you have two smaller magnets, each with its own north and south pole.
当然。首先，我们知道一个磁铁有两极即使是你的听众中最缺乏教育的也肯定知道这点。北极和南极。要是你把它折断，就有了两个较小的磁铁，各有北极南极。
Flatow: Uh, Dr.Cooper, I think there might be something wrong with our connection.
Cooper博士，我想我们的连线出了点问题。
Sheldon: No, I hear you fine. As I was saying, an ordinary magnet has two poles. The primary characteristic of a monopole is that it has only one pole, hence, monopole. A requirement for string theory, or Mtheory, if you will, is the existence of the monopoles. I, myself, led an expedition to the Arctic Circle in search of said particles. Kripke, I found the nozzle! I'm going to kill you!
没，我听得很清楚。正如我所说，一个普通磁铁有两极。磁单极子的主要性质便是它只有一极，故称，磁单极子。弦理论或者"M理论"成立的条件之一便是磁单极子的存在。我曾亲自带领科考队，前往北极圈搜寻这种粒子。Kripke 我发现喷嘴了! 我要灭了你!
