希格斯场

物理学家认为基本粒子的质量来自于粒子与希格斯场的交互作用。

Elementary particle masses are thought to come about from the interaction with the Higgs field .

但在这些等式中，希格斯场与弱相互作用力是如此纠缠不清，

in the equations , the Higgs field is so inextricably jumbled with the weak force ,

以至于到现在我们也无法证明希格斯场确实是单独存在的。

that until now we 've been unable to confirm its actual and independent existence .

而反过来，希格斯场在我们的弱相互作用模型中又扮演了不可或缺的角色。

The Higgs field in turn plays an integral role in our model for the weak nuclear force .

这些质量来自于拉格朗日函数中，一般粒子与希格斯场的交互作用项。

The masses arise from the terms in the Lagrangian that have the particles interacting with the Higgs field .

这个词只是简单形容了希格斯场对世界普遍存在的影响，和希格斯波色子在决定粒子质量方面的重要作用。

It was simply a snappy term to illustrate the ubiquitous effect of the Higgs field , and its importance in determining mass .

虽然标准模型只需要一个希格斯场，就足以产生所有基本粒子的质量，可是物理学家知道，标准模型一定会被更完备的理论所取代。

Although the Standard Model requires only one Higgs field to generate all the elementary particle masses , physicists know that the Standard Model must be superseded by a more complete theory .

他认为希格斯场（人们认为希格斯场赋予了物质以质量，从而万有引力可以作用于物质之间）可能也有其它物质相伴，并对验证过程进行了简要描述；

He outlines how the Higgs field , which is thought to be responsible for endowing matter with mass and thus enabling gravity to act on it , may also be a collective property .
