杨振宁逝世，享年103岁Yang Chen-Ning, a world-renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, passed away in Beijing on Saturday at 103.世界著名物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主杨振宁同志，于上周六在北京逝世，享年103岁。Yang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, professor at Tsinghua University, and the honorary president of the Institute for Advanced Study at Tsinghua, died after an illness, the university said in an obituary, calling the late professor "immortal".清华大学在讣告中表示，杨振宁同志系中国科学院院士、清华大学教授、清华大学高等研究院名誉院长，此次逝世为因病所致，并称赞这位已故教授“精神不朽”。Together with his colleague Tsung-dao Lee, Yang was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for their theory of parity non-conservation in weak interaction.1957年，杨振宁与同事李政道因提出“弱相互作用中宇称不守恒”理论，共同荣获诺贝尔物理学奖。He was often ranked alongside Albert Einstein as one of the 20th century's greatest physicists.杨振宁常被与阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦相提并论，被誉为20世纪最伟大的物理学家之一。Born in Hefei, Anhui province, in 1922, Yang moved with his family to Tsinghua in 1929. He enrolled at the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938 and later entered the graduate school of Tsinghua University in 1942, earning a master's degree in science in 1944. In 1945, he went to the United States for further studies as a Tsinghua University government-sponsored student, attending the University of Chicago, where he received his PhD in 1948 and remained for postdoctoral work.杨振宁1922年出生于安徽省合肥市，1929年随家人迁至清华园。1938年，他考入国立西南联合大学；1942年进入清华大学研究生院深造，1944年获理学硕士学位。1945年，作为清华大学公费留学生赴美国深造，就读于芝加哥大学，1948年获博士学位后留校从事博士后研究工作。He joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1949, becoming a permanent member in 1952 and a professor in 1955. In 1966, he was appointed as the Albert Einstein Professor of Physics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, working there until 1999.1949年，杨振宁入职美国普林斯顿高等研究院，1952年成为该院终身成员，1955年任教授。1966年，他被任命为美国纽约州立大学石溪分校阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦物理学教授，在此任职至1999年。Since 1986, he had been a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. From 1997, he served as the honorary director of the newly established Center for Advanced Study — now the Institute for Advanced Study — at Tsinghua University and became a Tsinghua professor in 1999.自1986年起，杨振宁担任香港中文大学客座教授。1997年，他出任清华大学新成立的高等研究中心（现清华大学高等研究院）名誉主任，1999年正式受聘为清华大学教授。Yang, having made seminal contributions to modern physics, is recognized as one of the most eminent physicists of the 20th century. His work with Robert Mills on the "Yang-Mills theory" laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics and is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern physics, comparable in significance to Maxwell's equations and Einstein's theory of general relativity. 杨振宁为现代物理学发展作出开创性贡献，是国际公认的20世纪最杰出物理学家之一。他与罗伯特・米尔斯合作提出的“杨-米尔斯理论”，为粒子物理标准模型奠定了基础，被视为现代物理学的重要支柱之一，其学术意义可与麦克斯韦方程组、爱因斯坦广义相对论相媲美。In collaboration with Tsung-Dao Lee, he proposed the non-conservation of parity in weak interactions, a revolutionary idea for which they were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, becoming the first Chinese Nobel laureate.在与李政道的合作中，杨振宁共同提出“弱相互作用中宇称不守恒”理论——这一颠覆性观点使两人共同荣获1957年诺贝尔物理学奖，他们也由此成为首位获此殊荣的华人科学家。Yang was a foreign member of more than ten academies of sciences worldwide and received honorary doctoral degrees from over twenty renowned universities.杨振宁是全球十余个科学院的外籍院士，曾获二十余所知名高校授予的荣誉博士学位。Yang maintained a deep affinity for his homeland and made outstanding contributions to China's scientific and educational development. His first visit to the People's Republic of China in 1971 helped initiate a wave of visits by overseas Chinese scholars, earning him recognition as a pioneer in building academic bridges between China and the United States.杨振宁始终怀有深厚的家国情怀，为中国科技与教育事业发展作出卓越贡献。1971年，他首次访问中华人民共和国，推动海外华人学者掀起回国访问热潮，被誉为中美学术交流的开拓者。He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China's central leadership and personally raised funds to establish a committee for educational exchange with China — sponsoring nearly a hundred Chinese scholars for further studies in the US. Many of those scholars later became key figures in China's scientific and technological advancement. Yang played a significant role in promoting domestic scientific exchange and progress, offering crucial advice on major national scientific projects and policies.此后，他向中国中央领导同志提出恢复和加强基础科学研究的建议，还亲自筹资成立对华教育交流委员会，资助近百名中国学者赴美深造。这些学者中，许多人后来成为中国科技领域的骨干力量。在推动国内科技交流与进步方面，杨振宁发挥重要作用，就国家重大科技项目与政策建言献策，提供关键指导。Upon his return to Tsinghua, he dedicated himself to the development of the Institute for Advanced Study, investing immense effort into the growth of basic disciplines like physics and the cultivation of talent at Tsinghua, significantly impacting the reform and development of China's higher education.回到清华大学工作后，杨振宁全身心投入高等研究院建设，为清华大学物理学等基础学科发展及人才培养倾注大量心血，对中国高等教育改革发展产生深远影响。The life of Professor Yang was that of an immortal legend — exploring the unknown with a timeless echo of a heart devoted to his nation, the obituary said.讣告指出，杨振宁教授的一生，是不朽的传奇——他以探索未知的执着、赤诚报国的初心，留下跨越时代的精神回响。Yang's century-long journey constitutes an eternal chapter shining among the stars of humanity, it said.讣告强调，杨振宁长达一个世纪的人生旅程，是人类星空中熠熠生辉的永恒篇章。laureate/ˈlɒriət/n.获奖者；荣誉获得者seminal/ˈsemɪnl/adj.开创性的；有重大影响的non-conservation/ˌnɒnˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn/n.不守恒
