Now he correctly surmised that these tiny positively charged ions were themselves fundamental particles: Protons. Now we're getting close to reality.

现在他正确地推测这些带正电的微小离子本身就是基本粒子：质子。现在我们离现实越来越近了。

Particle physics probes even deeper to find the fundamental subatomic particles that everything is made of and are described in the standard model of particle physics.

The Higgs (named after Peter Higgs, a British physicist who predicted its existence) is the last unobserved part of the Standard Model, a 40-year-old theory which successfully describes the behaviour of all the fundamental particles and forces of nature bar gravity.

希格斯粒子（它以预言其存在的英国物理学家彼得·希格斯的名字命名） 是" 基础模型" 中最后一个尚未观测到的组件，" 基础模型" 已有40年的历史，它成功地描述了所有基础粒子的行为及除重力以外的所有自然力。
