斯德哥尔摩皇家科学院周二宣布，2016年的诺贝尔物理学奖由三位科学家共同摘得。

　　The Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 was divided, with one half awarded to David J. Thouless, the other half jointly to F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz "for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter."

　　2016年的物理学奖金则被划分成两份，一半由戴维·索利斯所有，一半由邓肯·霍尔丹和迈克尔·科斯特利茨共享，以表彰他们在物质的拓扑相变和拓扑相方面的理论发现。

　　三位科学家同获诺奖，奖金怎么分

　　Haldane said he was "very surprised" at the news, adding that he was glad that their discoveries found something many previously overlooked, and that they unveiled "more possibilities for looking for new materials." He emphasized a lot of work was still ongoing.

　　霍尔丹说他对此消息感到“十分惊喜”，并补充道他很开心他们的研究发现了之前被多次忽略的事物，而且也为“寻找新材料提供了更多可能性”。他强调许多工作仍在进行当中。

　　This year's prize amount is 8 million Swedish krona (0.93 million US dollars), and will be split proportionally between the three winners.

　　今年的奖金共800万瑞典克朗（约合93.33万美元），将会按照比例由三位获奖者共享。

　　以下为诺奖奖金科普：

　　从诺贝尔奖的介绍可知，获奖者在获奖之后会获得一笔钱做奖金，而他们的奖金数目则取决于每年诺贝尔基金投资的收益。是的，不明白为什么诺奖办了这么多年奖金还没发完的小伙伴这下可以解惑了。他们有专门的人负责，也有投资项目，而且1968年瑞典国家银行还捐出大额资金增设了经济学奖。20世纪80年代每项奖金88万瑞典克朗，从那时起奖金开始增加。2009年达到1000万瑞典克朗（140万美元，95万欧元），2012年6月降至800万瑞典克朗。

　　The laureates are given a sum of money when they receive their prizes, in the form of a document confirming the amount awarded.The amount of prize money depends upon how much money the Nobel Foundation can award each year. The purse has increased since the 1980s, when the prize money was 880 000 SEK per prize. In 2009, the monetary award was 10 million SEK (US$1.4 million, €950,000). In June 2012, it was lowered to 8 million SEK.

　　如果一个奖项出现两个获奖人，那么奖金平分给两人。如果有三个人，那么颁奖委员会可以选择将奖金平分，也可以将其中一半分给一个获奖者，另外两位共享另一半，即每人四分之一。获奖者将奖金用作科学、文化或人道主义捐献是非常常见的。而莫言和屠呦呦，则是想买一套房子，谁让国内的房价以火箭的速度在涨呢。

　　If there are two laureates in a particular category, the award grant is divided equally between the recipients. If there are three, the awarding committee has the option of dividing the grant equally, or awarding one-half to one recipient and one-quarter to each of the others. It is common for recipients to donate prize money to benefit scientific, cultural, or humanitarian causes.
