Elementary particle masses are thought to come about from the interaction with the higgs field.

物理学家认为基本粒子的质量来自于粒子与希格斯场的交互作用。

It is the fundamental unit, or quantum, of the Higgs field, an all pervading entity that all particles must pass through.

它是希格斯场(一个所有粒子都必须经过的实体场)的基本单元，或者说量子。

Some particles, such as photons, which are weightless particles of light, are able to cut through the sticky Higgs field without picking up mass.

一些粒子，犹如光子，本身很轻而只是光，能够挤过粘粘的希格斯场却没有获得质量。

The speed of particles moving through the Higgs field works much in the same way.

The particle is a component of something called the Higgs field, which permeates our universe.

CNN: Scientists more certain that particle is Higgs boson

The Higgs field does something strange: throughout the entire Universe, it takes on a uniform, non-zero value.
