二、核心词汇(12)
词条释义 / 讲解
way beyondfar beyond,远远超出。way作程度副词,强调距离或程度之远。
further vs. fartherfarther指具体距离更远;further指抽象程度进一步(如further investigation)。
in practical terms实际上,从实际操作角度。相当于in fact,强调现实可行性。
come close接近,靠近。此处指无法接近真实比例,即根本做不到。
diagram ... to scale按比例绘制的示意图。to scale指按真实比例缩小或放大。
diameter直径。简称D。半径为radius,简称R。
bacterium细菌(单数)。复数为bacteria。此处比喻冥王星极小。
the Hunter猎户座。英语中对Orion的直译称呼,源自希腊神话中的猎人。
centaur半人马。希腊神话中上半身为人、下半身为马的生物,如Chiron。
proxim-词根:邻近、靠近。源自拉丁语,如proximity(接近), proximate(最近的)。
closest / nearest最近的。两者常互换,此处指比邻星是距离太阳最近的恒星。
Proxima Centauri比邻星。Proxima(最近的)+ Centauri(半人马座的),即半人马座α星C。
三、句型与语法点(2)
要点说明
倍数比较结构A is five times farther from B than B is from C. 前者距离是后者的五倍。
connect...and...连接...和...。连接邻近的星星并赋予名字,描述星座形成的动作。
四、课堂讨论题
1. 老师,讲稿里说海王星离木星远得‘way beyond’,那个‘way’在这里到底是啥意思呀?是表示‘完全’还是‘非常’?
2. 文中提到海王星到木星的距离是木星到地球距离的‘five times farther’,这个‘five times’具体是怎么算的?是加法还是乘法关系?
3. ‘further’和‘farther’看起来都是far的比较级,讲稿里说further可以指抽象的‘进一步’,那farther是不是只能用来指具体的物理距离?
4. 为什么讲稿里说无论怎么画,太阳系都不可能‘to scale’(按比例)画出来?是因为距离太远了导致纸不够大,还是因为星球大小差异太大?
5. 讲稿最后提到了比邻星(Proxima Centauri)是离太阳最近的恒星,那它和我们要学的‘星座’(constellations)之间有啥区别?星座里的星星是真的连在一起的吗?
五、Discussion Questions (English)
1. What does 'way' mean in 'way beyond' here? Does it mean 'completely' or just 'very'?
2. How exactly is 'five times farther' calculated? Is it an addition or multiplication relationship between the distances?
3. 'Further' and 'farther' both look like comparatives of 'far'. The text says 'further' can mean abstractly 'to a greater extent', so is 'farther' only used for physical distance?
4. Why does the text say the solar system can never be drawn 'to scale'? Is it because the distances are too vast for the paper, or because the size differences between planets are too extreme?
5. The text mentions Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun. What's the difference between it and 'constellations'? Are the stars in a constellation actually connected?
