cosmologist Stephen Hawking was among 150 academics to declare support
for Britain remaining in the European Union on Thursday in a letter that
said leaving the bloc would damage science and research.
著名宇宙学家霍金与150多名院士于本周四联合上书，呼吁英国人民公投时选择继续留在欧盟，否则会造成科学界的重大灾难。
"If the UK leaves the EU and there is a loss of freedom of movement of
scientists between the UK and Europe, it will be a disaster for UK
science and universities," the academics wrote in a letter to The Times
newspaper.
众位院士在给《泰晤士报》的信件中表示：“如果英国离开欧盟，英国和欧洲之间的科学家将失去活动自由，这对于英国的科学和大学教育将是一场‘灾难’”。
The over 150 signatories are Cambridge scientists, mathematicians,
engineers and economists and all are also fellows of the Royal Society,
Britain’s leading scientific institution.
联名上书的这150多名院士尽是剑桥大学科学家、数学家、工程师和经济学家。与此同时，他们也是英国最顶尖科研机构——英国皇家学会的研究成员。
Other signatories included Martin Rees, the astronomer royal and former
president of the Royal Society, University of Cambridge physicist Athene
Donald, and letter organiser Alan Fersht, a leading chemist.
此外，参与联名上书的还有皇家天文学家及英国皇家学会的前任主席——马丁.里根，剑桥大学物理学家艾斯纳.唐纳德，以及此次联名上书呼吁的组织者，著名化学家——艾伦.费什特。
Britain is due to vote on June 23 on whether to remain in the 28-member
bloc. Opinion polls show that the campaign to remain within the EU is
slightly ahead, but its lead over the "leave" campaign has narrowed in
recent months.
英国将在6月23日举行公投，该投票将决定英国是否能够继续留在欧盟。虽然民意测验显示支持英国继续留在欧盟的票数暂时领先，但是提倡退欧的票数在近几个月来持续增高，步步紧逼。
In the letter, the scientists argued that science was vital for
Britain’s long-term prosperity and that membership of the EU had
increased funding of science and allowed the country to recruit talented
researchers from continental Europe.
科学家们在信中强烈表示科技对于英国的长期繁荣至关重要，英国在欧盟成员国的身份可以帮助其获得更多的科学资金，并且还便于英国从欧洲大陆引进更多的精英人才。
"Investment in science is as important for the long-term prosperity and
security of the UK as investment in infrastructure projects, farming or
manufacturing; and the free movement of scientists is as important for
science as free trade is for market economics," they wrote.
他们在信中表示：“对科学的投资和对基础设施、农业和制造业的投资一样，对英国的长期繁荣和安全非常重要。科学家们的活动自由对科学的意义也如同自由贸易对市场经济的意义那般，同样至关重要。”
