第1章 迷失在宇宙中 Lost in the Cosmos · 第2讲S4

1. 老师，讲稿里把‘观测宇宙深处’比作‘从帝国大厦一百层往下看’，这个类比里‘地面街道’到底代表宇宙的哪个时刻呀？
2. 文中提到威尔森和彭齐亚斯发现最远星系在‘第六十层’，类星体在‘第二十层’，为什么类星体反而比星系更‘近’（层数更低）呢？
3. 这里的 'scooped' 是‘勺子’的意思吗？为什么 Dickey 说他们被 'scooped' 后，大家会觉得是‘被人捷足先登’了？
4. 为什么威尔森和彭齐亚斯明明做出了巨大发现，却‘完全不知道’自己发现了什么，还要打电话去求助 Dickey 呢？
5. 讲稿说他们的发现把人类对宇宙的了解扩展到了‘离地面半英寸’的地方，这半英寸在宇宙时间线上意味着什么？

1. Teacher, the transcript compares 'peering into the depth of the universe' to 'looking down from the 100th floor of the Empire State Building'. In this analogy, what specific cosmic moment does the 'street level' represent?
2. The text says the most distant galaxies were on the '60th floor' and quasars on the '20th floor'. Why are quasars considered 'closer' (lower floor number) than galaxies in this analogy?
3. Does 'scooped' mean a spoon here? Why does Dickey saying they were 'scooped' imply that someone else beat them to the discovery?
4. Why did Wilson and Penziers make a huge discovery but still 'have no idea' what it was, and why did they call Dickey for help in that situation?
5. The transcript says their discovery pushed our acquaintance with the visible universe to within 'half an inch' of the sidewalk. What does that half-inch represent in terms of cosmic time?

1 00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:08,800 如果我们想象征到宇宙的深处, 2 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,620 就像是从百万层的国家建筑物的百万层, 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:19,740 百万层代表现在,而街道代表大坂的时刻。 4 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,600 At the time of Wilson and Penziers discovery, 5 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,740 the most distant galaxies anyone had ever detected 6 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:29,720 were on about the 60th floor, 7 00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:32,080 and the most distant things, 8 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,720 quasars,were on about the 20th. 9 00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:37,040 Penziers 10 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,240 and Wilson's findings pushed our acquaintance with 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,820 the visible universe to within half an inch of the 12 00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:44,220 sidewalk. 13 00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:55,340 如果你把探测观测到宇宙的深处看成是从帝 14 00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:58,490 国大厦的第一百层楼往下看的话 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,520 think of something 16 00:01:02,420 --> 00:01:04,400 as like something 17 00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:11,220 是两者在进行比较一个是 peering into the depth of the 18 00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:17,970 universe 这是一个常人不容易理解的事物就是 peer 是 19 00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:18,050 指 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,220 偷窥就观测到宇宙的深处那与它相对比的事物是什么 21 00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:35,900 呢从帝国大厦的第一百层楼往下看这是一个常人有过 22 00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:41,000 的至少是可以理解的经验所以我们把这两个事物进行 23 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,160 类比现在解释一下这个 Empire State Building 24 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,680 帝国大厦 25 00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:55,900 这个帝国大厦是在纽约纽约呢它的别名叫 Empire 26 00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:57,440 State 帝国州 27 00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:00,980 可能是因为它在经济方面 28 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,160 是实力很强的所以纽约的别名就是帝国州帝国大厦 29 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,800 虽然现在已经不是世界最高楼但是它曾经占据世界第 30 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,800 一世界最高楼的地位长达 40 年之久 31 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,880 这个帝国大厦的第一百层往下看那么第一百层意味着 32 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:31,240 什么呢 Representing now 一百层就代表着现在 33 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:38,000 Straight level 也就是地面街道的这个层次就地面代 34 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,220 表着 The moment of the Big Bang 35 00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:44,150 宇宙大爆炸的那一个时刻好了 36 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:51,660 也就是这样假如这个绿色的柱状体是帝国大厦的话那 37 00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:58,020 我们这里一百层就是目前现在往下看地 38 00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:01,560 面呢就是 the big bang 好了 39 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:05,400 at the time of Wilson and Penziers discovery 40 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,740 the most distant galaxies anyone had ever 41 00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:13,300 detectedwere on about the 60th floor 在 42 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:22,720 威尔森和做出那个巨大发现重大发现的那个年代 43 00:03:23,610 --> 00:03:31,350 最远的星系人类所探测到的最远的星系 Galaxies 是星 44 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:34,920 系 Detected 探测 45 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,300 大家可能知道这个 Detective Story 是侦探小说侦探故 46 00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:47,160 事的意思 Detect 就是指就是侦测探测人 47 00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:54,990 类能够探测到的最远的星系呢大概是在第六十层也就 48 00:03:54,990 --> 00:04:00,030 是我们从这儿往下看最远的星系在这儿 49 00:04:04,950 --> 00:04:12,230 而人类所能够探测到的最远的天 50 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,680 体最远的东西它不能算是星系了这个 51 00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:25,030 东西呢叫类星体类星体类就是类人猿的类表示类似类 52 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:32,210 星体是一种似不像它既不是星系也不是恒星也不是星 53 00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:33,590 云这是 54 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:40,620 目前我们所能够探测到的最远的天体是在第二十层 55 00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:44,760 Pensiers and Wilson's findingpushed our 56 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,780 acquaintancewith a visible universe 57 00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:51,340 Aquaintance 58 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,440 熟 59 00:04:52,470 --> 00:04:55,970 悉程度 Our acquaintance with the visible universe 60 00:04:55,970 --> 00:05:02,530 means our knowledge of the visible universe 我们对可 61 00:05:02,530 --> 00:05:08,780 见的宇宙的了解那现在这两个人的发现直接 62 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,660 把我们对宇宙的对可观测到的宇宙的了解直接 63 00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:20,780 把它扩展到了离地面只有半 64 00:05:21,130 --> 00:05:25,690 英寸这个距离半英寸也就是一厘米多一些 65 00:05:27,150 --> 00:05:28,190 也就是这儿 66 00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:33,790 所以几乎就已经到了宇宙大爆炸的这个时刻了他们 67 00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:36,990 的发现就是 background radiation 68 00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:46,870 Still unaware of what caused the noise Wilson and 69 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:50,330 Penziers filmed Dickey at Princeton and described 70 00:05:50,330 --> 00:05:54,070 their problem to him In the hope that he might suggest a 71 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:54,450 solution 72 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,280 Dickey realized at once What the two young men had found 73 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:00,620 Well boys, 74 00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:04,460 we've just been scooped He told his colleagues as he 75 00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:05,320 hung up the phone 76 00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:13,530 Wilson 和 Panzer 实际上他并不知道到底是什么造成了 77 00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:20,430 噪音所以之前作者说的那几段是跟我们读者说的 78 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:27,320 告诉我们这两个人的发现是多么的重要但是这两个人 79 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,680 当时他还是蒙在鼓里他一点都不知道自己的这个发现 80 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,200 有多大的意义他甚至都不知道 81 00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:39,020 自己将要发现什么他不知道到底是什么导致了噪音 82 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,780 那在这种情况下呢这两个人就给 Dickey 打电话 83 00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:47,340 描述了自己遇到的问题 84 00:06:47,980 --> 00:06:52,960 希望 Dickey 能够解决这个问题 Suggest a solution 85 00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:57,110 Solution 的动词是 solve, 86 00:06:57,290 --> 00:06:59,930 就是解决 Solve the problem, 87 00:07:00,110 --> 00:07:02,810 解决问题 Solve the riddle, 88 00:07:02,930 --> 00:07:04,150 or solve the mystery 89 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:08,020 猜出谜语,解开谜团 90 00:07:08,980 --> 00:07:12,400 Dickey realized at once what the two young men had found 91 00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:15,260 他电话一打,Dickey 一接电话, 92 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,620 一下子就明白了他就知道这两个年轻人到底是发现了 93 00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:26,360 什么他把电话挂上就对他的同事说伙计们我们被人捷 94 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:32,540 足先登了 Scooped Scooped 做名词的时候就是这种勺子 95 00:07:32,540 --> 00:07:37,540 冰淇淋勺或者面粉勺那做动词的话 Scooped 可以指把 96 00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:42,440 东西摇起来的动作也可以指呢在报道一个消息的时候 97 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:48,120 被别人给抢先报道了所以这里就解释为捷足先登谢谢 98 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,140 大家
