R核心團隊獲頒享有盛譽的2026年盧瑟烏統計學獎，這是一項價值100萬美元的榮譽，常被拿來與諾貝爾獎相提並論。
The R Core Team has been awarded the prestigious 2026 Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics, a $1 million honor often compared to the Nobel Prize.
此獎項旨在表彰近三十年來維護R語言的工作，這是徹底改變資料科學的基礎程式語言。
This award recognizes nearly three decades of work in maintaining R, the foundational programming language that revolutionized data science.
R語言最初於1990年代初期由奧克蘭大學的羅斯·伊哈卡和羅伯特·簡特曼所創，意在作為專有軟體的開源替代品。
Originally created in the early 1990s by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the University of Auckland, R was intended as an open-source alternative to proprietary software.
自1997年以來，R核心團隊一直引領著該專案，確保它成為一個免費、穩定且具可複製性的平台。
Since 1997, the R Core Team has stewarded the project, ensuring it remains a free, stable, and reproducible platform.
如今，R被視為全球公共財，成為從醫療保健到經濟政策等領域進行高風險分析的信任標準。
Today, R is considered a global public good, serving as the trusted standard for high-stakes analysis in fields ranging from healthcare to economic policy.
這項殊榮表彰的不僅僅是一款軟體，更是一種集體努力，它將孤立的統計工作轉變為一個協作的全球社群，從根本上塑造了我們分析現代世界的方式。
This recognition honors not just a piece of software, but a collective effort that turned isolated statistical work into a collaborative, global community, fundamentally shaping the way we analyze the modern world.
