In 1971 his then student 't Hooft demonstrated that inclusion of the Higgs mechanism led to complete renormalizability, i. e. mathematical consistency of the theory.

1971年，他当时的学生霍夫特证明了，引入了希格斯机制之后，规范理论拥有了完全的可重正性，也就是说，规范理论有了数学上的一致性。

But Gerard 't Hooft of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1999, says the pair's conclusions are legitimate - but he chooses determinism over free will.

但是霍夫特(Gerardt Hooft)说两位数学家的结论是正确的——但他宁愿选择决定论而不是自由意志。霍夫特是荷兰utrecht大学的物理学家，曾获1999年的诺贝尔物理学奖。

The contribution made by Dr't Hooft and Dr Veltman is, as is often the way with the physics prize, mind-bogglingly complex.

Though they did not, themselves, perform the synthesis, Dr't Hooft and Dr Veltman tidied up its mathematics to such a degree that useful predictions about the properties of unknown sub-atomic particles became possible.
