Professor Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher have been named on a shortlist of British figures who could feature on the new £50 note.
斯蒂芬霍金（Stephen Hawking）教授和玛格丽特·撒切尔在被印在新版50英镑候选人清单上面。
Bank of England governor Mark Carney announced earlier this year that the new polymer note would celebrate British achievement in science.
今年早些时候英国央行行长Mark Carney称，新版纸币上的人物必须是在科学方面为英国有所建树的人。
The Bank said only people making a contribution to scientific fields would be deemed eligible, but the former Conservative prime minister has been included on the latest list.
该央行表示，只有在科学方面做出贡献的人才有资格，不过前保守党首相却在最新的名单上。
The rightwing blogging site Guido Fawkes launched an online petition for the former Conservative prime minister to become the new face of the £50 note in October.
主要是10月份的时候右翼Guido Fawkes在其博客发表了在线为前保守党首相申请印上50英镑纸币的请愿书。
Although Baroness Thatcher – who got a degree in chemistry from Oxford and briefly worked as a research chemist for food company J Lyons – was first nominated before the science restriction was announced, she has been put forward for the final shortlist.
首相撒切尔，毕业于牛津大学的化学专业，在J Lyons公司作为iyiming化学研究人员短暂的工作过一段时间，在科学贡献作为条件还没有公布出来，就已经获得提名成为最终候选人名单之一。
A spokesperson for the Bank said: “She had a degree in chemistry, [and] went on to work as a research chemist – famously working on the research team which helped invent soft scoop ice cream.”
银行的一名发言人称，“赛切尔毕业于化学专业，之后作为一名化学研究人员，和团队一起发明著名的软勺冰淇淋。
While Baroness Thatcher did work on emulsifiers in ice cream, among other projects, the frozen dessert was actually invented in America, more than a decade before J Lyons and Co partnered with the US firm Mister Softee to introduce it to Britain.
确实赛切尔夫人对冰淇淋中乳化剂进行研究，不过冷冻甜食最早是在美国发明的，比J Lyons公司和美国公司Mister Softee合作引入英国之前还早10年。
The Bank said nearly 230,000 nominations were made in the six-week nomination process which ran until 14 December, with the list now whittled down to 992 eligible names.
到12月14日截止的6周时间一共收到有近23万提名，现在这个名单缩减到了992人。
Other figures put forward include Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Rosalind Franklin and Dorothy Hodgkin, as well as Magnus Pyke and Marie Stopes.
同样收到提名的人物还有（世界上第一位程序员、著名诗人拜伦的女儿）阿达·洛芙莱斯，（计算机科学与人工智能之父、数学家、逻辑学家、密码分析学家和理论生物学家）阿兰·图灵，（英国物理化学家与晶体学家）罗莎琳德·富兰克林，（英国第一位女性诺贝尔奖得主）多萝西·霍奇金教授以及马格纳斯-派克和（880-1958 二十世纪最负盛名的计划生育和女性权益倡导先驱,于1921年在伦敦开设了全球第一家避孕节育诊）所玛丽·斯托普斯。
The new £50 will replace the current paper note which features industrial revolution pioneers Matthew Boulton and James Watt.
新版纸币会取代旧版印有工业革命先驱马修·博尔顿和詹姆斯·瓦特版本。
