二、本文主要介绍了斯蒂芬·霍金的经历及对物理学的贡献。

1．designing　about是介词，后接动名词作宾语。

2．unfortunately　由下文可知霍金得了一种不能治愈的病，故此处应表示“不幸地”。

3．from　suffer from是固定搭配，意为“遭受；患(病)”。

4．which　此处是一个非限制性定语从句，指代前面的整个句子，故用which。

5．defeated　此处缺少谓语动词，因全文时态均为过去时，故此处也用一般过去时。

6．absorbed　be absorbed in 专心于，专注于。

7．in　本句是一个“介词＋关系代词”结构的定语从句，which指代书，从句表示“在书中”，故用介词in。

8．that　空格后的从句用来解释idea的具体内容，故本句是一个同位语从句，用that引导。

9．an　have an end 结束。

10．contributions　make contributions to...为……作贡献。
