His special subject is the beginning of space,matter,and time.在英國一所大學(xué)的報告廳里坐著一位教授.他坐在講臺上 作報告,但聲音聽起來有點奇怪.那是由于這位教授得了一種 病,使他不能說話了.因此,他講話時,只得借助計算機(jī)和發(fā) 生器.他答復(fù)下列問題時,大約要花兩分鐘時間.他不僅要把答語 打在計算機(jī)上,而且

9、還要讓計算機(jī)把答語轉(zhuǎn)變成聲音.既然他 的話很難懂,為什么人們還要來聽他的報告呢？答案是在他的 特殊領(lǐng)域他是三個頂尖的物理學(xué)專家之一.他研究的專題是空 間、物質(zhì)和時間的起源.The case of Professor Stephen Hawking is one example of the many disabled people who have achieved success in their chosen field of work.
