四、课堂讨论题
1. 老师,讲稿里说Voyager 1只去了木星和土星,那为什么原文里用'them'指代它们就不准确了呢?这里'them'具体是指代谁呀?
2. 视频里用'拽了一下'来解释引力助推,这个动作具体是怎么让飞船速度变快、轨道发生改变的?能再详细讲讲这个过程吗?
3. 文中提到Voyager 2去天王星只要9年,而正常情况要30年,这中间'引力助推'到底帮我们省了多少时间?原理是什么?
4. 为什么讲稿里说'返回的时候要花的时间更多'?从物理或者轨道设计的角度,你能帮我分析几种可能的原因吗?
5. 最后问'在冥王星上看太阳是什么样子的',既然我们人不能去,那科学家们是通过什么方式或者数据推测出这个景象的呢?
五、Discussion Questions (English)
1. Teacher, the script says Voyager 1 only visited Jupiter and Saturn, so why is it inaccurate to use 'them' there? Who exactly does 'them' refer to in this context?
2. The video uses the phrase 'pulled a bit' to explain gravity assist. How exactly does this action increase the spacecraft's speed and change its trajectory? Can you explain the process in more detail?
3. The text mentions that Voyager 2 took only 9 years to reach Uranus, whereas the normal journey would take 30 years. How much time did 'gravity assist' save, and what is the underlying principle?
4. Why does the script state that 'the return journey would take more time'? Can you analyze a few possible reasons from the perspective of physics or orbital design?
5. The final question asks 'what the sun would look like from Pluto.' Since humans cannot go there, how do scientists infer or simulate this view using data or other methods?
六、听力 / 讲稿全文
1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,480
Voyager 1 only
2
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:10,740
went past Jupiter and Saturn.
3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,680
It did not visit Uran us and Neptune.
4
00:00:14,780 --> 00:00:20,580
So,them is not exactly correct.严格的来说,
5
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:26,240
them 说的并不准确,应该把它改成 Voyager 2.Even so,
6
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:29,980
it took Voyager 2 nine years to reach Uran us,
7
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:32,420
and a dozen to cross the orbit of Pluto.
8
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:38,170
还有刚才大家对引力助推这个概念可能还不了解我们
9
00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:41,830
来观看一段录像听一下录像里的解释吧
10
00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:39,250
可能大家看了刚才的视频介绍还是不明白什么叫引力
11
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:39,650
助推
12
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:45,950
首先呢要先理解什么是引力宇宙中所有有质量的物体
13
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:50,230
所谓的质量现在如果大家不太理解的话你就把它想成
14
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:53,750
重量吧我们以后还会再提到质量这个概念
15
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,760
宇宙中所有有质量的两个物体之间都有引力都会相互
16
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,600
吸引如果这个质量非常大它的引力就会特别大那我们
17
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:12,513
的旅行者一号二号在飞过木星木土天海这四颗行星的
18
00:02:12,513 --> 00:02:17,940
时候会被这四颗行星强大的引力被它影响
19
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,780
比如说木星它是个大胖子它的引力就非常强大你从它
20
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:28,200
身边过的时候它就把你拽了一下虽然我们没有碰到它
21
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,600
只是从它身边过但是它就能把你拽一下
22
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:33,410
那拽一下
23
00:02:34,310 --> 00:02:38,330
可是它的引力又没有大到那个程度而且我们的旅行者
24
00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:43,530
本身速度也是很快的所以虽然被它拽了一下但并没有
25
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:45,790
被它拽到木星上去了
26
00:02:46,370 --> 00:02:51,850
旅行者一号二号还是继续飞行可是速度就发生变化了
27
00:02:51,850 --> 00:02:56,610
速度就快了因为被他拽了一把而且轨道可能也会发生
28
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,770
变化就像我们这里图上所表示的这样
29
00:03:01,450 --> 00:03:06,530
所以呢是木星给了他一边把他甩到了土星
30
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:12,170
经过土星的时候土星引力也非常大又给了他一边把他
31
00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:19,230
甩到了天王星就这样所以节省了很多的时间总共只要
32
00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:24,540
9 年时间就可以到达天王星的边缘而正常情况下就如
33
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:27,750
果没有遇到这么好的时机的话要 30 年
34
00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:00,310
好
35
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:06,380
先前说了坏消息现在是好消息好消息是什么呢那就是
36
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:12,100
如果我们耐心地等到 2006 年的 1 月当然因为这本书是
37
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:17,380
2004 年出版的那现在我们早就已经过了 2006 年 1 月了
38
00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:21,060
这个时间早就已经过去了在这个时候呢 which
39
00:04:21,310 --> 00:04:25,950
is when NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is tentatively
40
00:04:25,950 --> 00:04:30,750
scheduled to depart for Pluto N AS A is
41
00:04:30,910 --> 00:04:33,670
short for National Aeronautics and Space
42
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:34,170
Administration
43
00:04:34,750 --> 00:04:40,620
是美国的国家航空航天局它的新视野号这又是它的另
44
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:45,970
外一个航天器有的地方翻译作新地平线因为
45
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,800
H orizon 这个词本身就是就是低频线隐身意也可以指
46
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,420
视野
47
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:58,060
它的新视野号航天器 Is scheduled to depart for Pluto
48
00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:05,400
Is scheduled 是指按计划将要在这个时候前往 Pluto 这
49
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:05,940
是
50
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:10,180
计划的那这个 Tentatively Tentative means not
51
00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:13,140
definite,not certain May
52
00:05:13,750 --> 00:05:14,870
be changed later
53
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:23,310
试探性的暂定暂时定的也就是在作者写书的这个时候
54
00:05:23,310 --> 00:05:30,550
这个时间还不确定只是暂时定在 2006 年的 1 月要前往
55
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:38,060
Pluto 明王星 Depart means to leave To leave Earth for
56
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:39,880
Pluto 这个
57
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,020
for 就表示他要去的这个目的地 To depart for Pluto 相
58
00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:48,200
当于是 to leave for Pluto 好
59
00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:51,590
到这个时候呢 We can take advantage of favorable
60
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:53,110
Jovian positioning
61
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:59,780
Jovian positioning 这里的 Jovian 就是 J upiter 木星的
62
00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:05,740
形容词比如说 Jovian storms 木星风暴木星上是会有风
63
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:11,940
暴的 Jovian day 那就是木星自转一天自转一周的时间
64
00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:17,640
就是木星上的一天每一个行星上的一天长度是不同的
65
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:25,420
Martian 那就是 Mars 火星的那个形容词 Uranian 是天王
66
00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:29,700
星 Neptunian 是 Neptune 海王星的这个形容词
67
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:37,020
好了这里说我们可以 take advantage of 可以利用木
68
00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:43,520
星的有利位置利用木星的位置做什么呢也是引力助推
69
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,980
在经过木星的时候被木星狠狠地拽了一把甩出去那么
70
00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:52,420
我们的新事业号就节省了四年的时间
71
00:06:55,650 --> 00:07:03,190
再加上技术的一些进步这个 advance 是名词复数的形
72
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:03,510
式
73
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:26,440
虽然返航的时候恐怕要更多的时间要花更长的时间
74
00:07:27,950 --> 00:07:33,030
至于为什么返回的时候要花的时间更多大家可以自己
75
00:07:33,030 --> 00:07:36,830
思考一下看看能提出几种假设
76
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:44,290
其实呢新视野号去年也就是 2015 年就已经拍到了很多
77
00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:49,630
冥王星的图片了包括我们刚才看到的有爱心斑块的那
78
00:07:49,630 --> 00:07:56,340
个冥王星的图片那他也是不打算返航的是要一直到那
79
00:07:56,340 --> 00:07:58,290
个太阳系以外去的
80
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,740
好了 at all events it's going to be a long trip at all
81
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:09,680
events means in any case 不管怎么样反正就是要花好长
82
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,980
时间这是漫长的旅途 Now
83
00:08:14,170 --> 00:08:17,450
it's time to make a summary of what we have covered today
84
00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:22,190
Can you use four adjectives to describe Pluto?
85
00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:25,940
And our
86
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:29,990
previous question Is it possible to travel to Pluto?
87
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:33,250
I'm sure you've got the answer now Yes,
88
00:08:33,310 --> 00:08:37,330
it is possible Although we ourselves cannot travel to
89
00:08:37,330 --> 00:08:41,370
Pluto But our spacecrafts can And
90
00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:47,450
our question for the next session is What would the sun
91
00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:49,650
look like if you were on Pluto?
92
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:57,020
假如我们能够到冥王星上去从那儿看太阳太阳又是什
93
00:08:57,020 --> 00:08:58,520
么样的呢 Alright,
94
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,260
see you next time Bye bye
