Prof Hawking was, of course, beloved around the world, but the
adulation and respect he has always commanded in China is perhaps in another universe altogether.
Scholars and academics have traditionally been held in high regard in Chinese culture, which also prizes a hard-striving and disciplined work ethic. Having overcome great
odds in his life, he was seen as having these qualities in spades.全世界的人都喜歡霍金，但是霍金所受到的崇拜與尊敬在中國恐怕完全是另一番風景。在中國傳統文化里讀書人是很受尊敬的，並且中國文化很看重努力奮鬥與嚴謹的工作作風。在中國人看來霍金很大程度上具有這些品質因此他克服了生活中的種種困難。

Prof Hawking also came along at a time when modern China began accelerating its scientific and space ambitions.
Thus, a role model ideal for the Chinese state to champion emerged. 霍金也在現代中國開始加速其科學與太空探索的雄心或野心的時候來到了中國。因此，一個為中國所擁護的理想模範已經出現。————————————————————ambition n 雄心，野心1. eager desire for success or power
