原文


2018.12六级第一套  Conversation One


Hey I just read a great book about physics. I think you'd like it. It's called the physics of the world.

我刚读了一本关于物理学的好书。我想你会喜欢它。它被称为《世界物理学》。


It's written by a scientist named Sylvia Mendez.

Oh I read that book. It was great.

它是由一位名叫Sylvia Mendez的科学家撰写的。

噢,我读过那本书。它太棒了。


The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics.

作者是一位引领人们走向物理奥秘的既热情而又出色的领路人。


I think it promises enrichment for any reader from those who know little about science to the career physicist.

我认为,无论是对那些对科学知之甚少的人还是职业的科学家,它都丰富了读者的认知。


And it's refreshing to see a strong curious clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse in a field that has been traditionally dominated by men.

看到一个强大、好奇并且聪明的女人在科学论述和传统上由男人主宰的领域中表达自己的观点,这令人耳目一新。


I think she is to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotes about little known female scientists.

我认为她必须受到赞扬,因为她努力将那些鲜为人知的女科学家们的轶事囊括在了书中。


You know they were often victims of a generation firmly convinced that the woman's place was in the home.

你知道他们那一代人坚信女人就应该待在家里,他们深受其害。


I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge.

我喜欢这本书是如何清晰地被写出来的,每一章都通过一些引人入胜的知识片段而栩栩如生。


For example in one chapter she exposes a myth that I've heard taught by university physics professors.

例如在一章中,她讲述了一个我听大学物理教授们讲过的神话。


I've often heard that medieval glass windows are thicker at the bottom because glass flows like a fluid.

我过去常听说中世纪的玻璃窗底部较厚,因为玻璃像流体一样流动。


This, she shows, is not true. The distortion is actually thanks to a peculiarity of the glass-makers' process.

她表示,这不是真的。这种扭曲实际上要归因于玻璃制造过程的特殊性。


Yeah I like how she cultivates scientific engagement by providing a host of Do It Yourself experiments that bring the same foundational principles of classical physics that govern everything from the solar system to your kitchen table.

是的,我喜欢她通过提供一系列“自己动手做”的实验来培养读者的科学参与性。这些实验会介绍从控制太阳系到餐桌的相同的经典物理基本原理。


From using complex laws of physics to test whether a spinning egg is cooked to measuring atmospheric pressure by lifting a piece of cardboard.

从使用复杂的物理定律来测试旋转的鸡蛋是否被煮熟,到通过浮起一块纸板来测量大气压力。


Her hands-on examples make her book atruly interactive read.

Yes I must say this equation-free book is an ideal read for scientists of all stripes, anyone teaching science and even people who dislike physics.

她亲手实践的例子使她的书成为真正的交互式阅读。

是的,我必须说这本没有写满公式的书,对于各种科学家、任何教科学的人甚至不喜欢物理学的人来说都是理想的读物。

不知“边视情”的汉语词来自哪里?什么意思?

听友284138237

建议听完后看一看电影《世界末日》,语句又长又快,能听懂多少,评论上晒一晒成绩,我连一半也听不懂,看来想看懂人家电视及较专业争论或辩论,是相当难的

边听边视情扩大词汇量,听了几遍的句子,其语流中的单词易记。谢谢好材料。
