Albert Einstein
二十世纪最伟大的物理学家——艾伯特·爱因斯坦

Albert Einstein, a German-born theoretical physicist and philosopher of science, is considered the greatest scientist of the 20th century. His discoveries and theories have greatly influenced science in many fields. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). He is best known in popular culture for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed “the world's most famous equation”). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”. The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory.
爱因斯坦是犹太裔理论物理学家、科学哲学家，被认为是20世纪最伟大的科学家。他的发现和理论极大地影响了科学界的诸多领域。爱因斯坦创立了现代物理学两大支柱之一的相对论(另一个是量子力学)。他以其质能方程E = mc2 著称于世(世人称之为“全世界最著名的方程”)，他也因为“对理论物理的贡献，特别是发现了光电效应”而获得1921年诺贝尔物理学奖，这个发现深深影响了量子理论的建立。

Einstein was born in 1879 in Ulm, a city in Germany. As a boy, he was slow to learn to talk, but in his childhood he showed great curiosity about nature and ability to solve difficult mathematical problems. In 1905, Einstein began to publish a series of papers which shook the whole scientific and intellectual world, and for the theories he established in the papers he won the Nobel Prize for Physics. Because Einstein was Jewish, when Hitler took over Germany in 1933, he had to leave the country and finally settled in the United States. There he continued his study on the structure of the universe until his death in 1955.
爱因斯坦于1879年生于德国乌尔姆。年幼时他是一个迟钝的孩子，很晚才学会说话，但童年的他对自然表现出了极大的好奇心和超常的数学能力。1905年，爱因斯坦开始发表一系列论文，震撼了整个科学界，并因论文中的理论获得诺贝尔物理学奖。爱因斯坦是犹太人，在1933年希特勒统治德国时期不得已移居美国，在那里继续他的宇宙结构研究，直至1955年去世。
