I am glad that this Chinese translation of Cosmology’s Century makes the state of understanding of the large-scale nature of the universe more broadly and readily accessible. There still are many open questions in this subject,and I expect beautiful answers will be discovered by people of many backgrounds,including those who are more comfortable speaking Chinese than English. I am grateful to Tong-Jie Zhang,Siqi Liu,and Yu Ma for their important work in translating my book.

很高兴《百年宇宙学:我们对宇宙的百年探索》能够出版中文版,它将使更多的人更易于了解科学界当下对宇宙大尺度性质的认识。在宇宙学研究中,仍有许多开放性的问题等待解答,我期待听到来自不同背景的人士给出的美妙答案,包括说中文比说英文更自如的同人们。最后,感谢张同杰、刘思琦和马煜三位译者为本书的翻译所做的努力。
