Deep inside an atom there is a nucleus, and inside that there are and neutrons. Those are still not the end. Each and neutron is made of even smaller pieces called quarks.
Deep inside an atom原子的深處 there is a nucleus有一個原子核, and而 inside that裡面 there are protons and neutrons又有質子和中子. Those但那些 are still not the end還不是最小的. Each proton and neutron每個質子和中子 is made of都是由...組成的 even smaller pieces called quarks更小、叫做quarks的東西.
You will not meet a quark on its own in ordinary matter; they stay locked together in twos or threes. There are six kinds, with playful English names: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom.
In ordinary matter在一般物質裡, you你 will not meet a quark on its own不會遇到單獨存在的quark; they它們 stay locked together總是鎖在一起 in twos or threes兩個或三個一組. There are six kinds一共有六種, with playful English names取的名字很俏皮: up上, down下, charm魅, strange奇, top頂, and bottom底.
This is specialist physics talk, not everyday talk.
This這 is specialist physics talk是物理學專業的講法, not everyday talk不是日常會用到的話.
An American , Murray Gell-Mann, made the word up in 1963. He later said he had a line from James Joyce in mind — “Three quarks for Muster Mark!” — and he pronounced it to sound like “”, as if someone in a pub were calling for three . Though actually, in the book the word is more like a bird’s harsh cry.
An American physicist, Murray Gell-Mann美國物理學家Murray Gell-Mann, made the word up在1963年造出了這個詞 in 1963. He他 later said後來說 he had a line from James Joyce in mind心裡想的是James Joyce的一句話 — "Three quarks for Muster Mark!"『Three quarks for Muster Mark!』 — and而且 he pronounced it to sound like "quart"他把這個詞念得像『quart』, as if someone in a pub were calling for three quarts聽起來就像有人在酒吧裡喊著要三品脫酒. Though actually不過其實, in the book在原著書裡 the word這個詞 is more like a bird's harsh cry比較像是一種鳥的刺耳叫聲.
組成Coined in 1963 by Murray Gell-Mann, at first apparently as an invented word. He later tied it to Joyce’s “Three quarks for Muster Mark!” and said he said it /kwɔrk/, thinking of “three quarts”.

natural-sciencesphysical-sciencesphysicsIn the Standard Model, one of a number of elementary subatomic particles having fractional electric charge that forms matter. They are theorized not to exist in isolation, but only in combinations in hadrons such as neutrons and protons or in quark–gluon plasmas.
- A simpler and more elegant scheme can be constructed if we allow non-integral values for the charges. We can dispense entirely with the basic baryon b if we assign to the triplet t the following properties: spin #92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;, z#61;#123;-#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;3
- There are six known quarks in nature, the up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and the top quark. The quarks are arranged in three pairs or "generations". Each member of a pair may be transformed into its partner via the charged-current weak interaction. Together with the six known leptons (the electron, muon, tau, and their associated neutrinos), the six quarks constitute all of the known luminous matter in the universe. The understanding of the properties of the quarks and leptons and their interactions is therefore of paramount importance.

computingengineeringmathematicsAn integer that uniquely identifies a text string.
- Two functions are provided to convert between strings and quarks: XrmStringToQuark and XrmQuarkToString […] The second takes a quark as its parameter and returns a pointer to its associated string; it is used primarily for debugging and runtime error messages.
