  The nucleon properties and structure should be modified by short-range
correlations (SRC) among nucleons. By analyzing SRC ratio data, we extract the
mass of nucleon in the SRC pair and the expected number of pn-SRC pairs in
deuterium, under the assumption that the SRC nucleon mass is universal in
different nuclei. The nucleon mass of a two-nucleon SRC pair is
$m_{\text{SRC}}=852\pm 18$ MeV, and the number of pn-SRC pairs in deuterium is
$n^{\text{d}}_{\text{SRC}}=0.021\pm 0.005$. The mass deficit of the strongly
overlapping nucleon can be explained by the trace anomaly contribution to the
mass in QCD or alternatively by the vacuum energy in the MIT bag model.
