Oh, boy, a whole dollar. Now, I can quit my paper route. 妈呀，整整一元大洋呢，我可以不用去送报了。

So, what's in it?  Mmm, doesn't matter. 里面是什么啊  根本无所谓

And now he's on the fast track to win a Nobel prize.Yeah, that's basically what I said. 现在他要得诺贝尔奖简直探囊取物。这不就是我刚说的吗？

The point is Higgs is being celebrated⁵ for work he did 50 years ago,so that got me thinking, perhaps I've already hit upon the idea that will win me my Nobel prize. 重点是希格斯正被人赞赏着他50年前的发现这让我不禁思考说不定我早想到了值得得奖的东西而它们就藏在这些日志里
