前些天霍金去世的消息震惊全球,无数人都对这位伟人的逝世深感哀痛(回顾霍金一生请戳)。
而在当地时间3月31日,霍金的葬礼在剑桥大学冈维尔与凯斯学院 (Gonville and Caius College) 附近的圣玛丽教堂举行,霍金生前曾在这个学院探索宇宙奥秘,一研究就是52年。
当天的葬礼为私人性质,并不对公众开放,但仍有大批民众自发聚集在前往教堂的路上,来送霍金教授最后一程。
当灵车缓缓驶过人群时,大家纷纷对这位伟大的科学家致敬。
霍金的家人在现场,他们更是难掩悲痛。
在霍金传记片《万物理论》中饰演霍金本人的“小雀斑”也参加了葬礼。
除了“小雀斑”之外,在电影《万物理论》中饰演女主、霍金前妻的菲丽希缇·琼斯(Felicity Jones)也携男友参加了葬礼。
以及模特莉莉·科尔(Lily Cole)等名人。
而在葬礼的现场,“小雀斑”还现场朗读一段圣经来悼念霍金,内容呼应了霍金一生以及电影《万物理论》(The Theory of Everything) 之名。

The God-Given Task What gain have the workers from their toil?
这样看来,作事的人在他的劳碌上有什么益处呢?
I have seen the business that God has given to everyone to be busy with. 我见神叫世人劳苦,使他们在其中受经练。
He has made everything suitable for its time; 神造万物,各按其时成为美好。
moreover, he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, 又将永生安置在世人心里。
yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 然而神从始至终的作为,人不能参透。
葬礼之后,霍金的骨灰将会被安葬至威斯敏斯特大教堂,与牛顿、达尔文这两位科学大家比邻。
再见了,仰望星空的时光旅人,愿天堂不再有病痛。
