二、核心词汇(12)
| 词条 | 释义 / 讲解 |
|---|
| way beyond | far beyond,远远超出。way作程度副词,强调距离或程度之远。 |
| further vs. farther | farther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?
六、听力 / 讲稿全文
1
00:00:06,350 --> 00:00:14,050
这就是所谓的就是 not even remotely drawn to scale 根
2
00:00:14,050 --> 00:00:19,720
本就没有按比例画的这种图无论是大小还是距离都不
3
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,690
是按比例的
4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,340
Neptune in reality isn't just a little bit beyond
5
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:33,300
Jupiter It's way beyond Jupiter Neptune 海王星可不是
6
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:40,120
仅仅离木星远那么一点不是只是在木星外面一点点而
7
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,560
是远得多了我们刚才看到这个图木星在这儿
8
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:47,380
海王星在这儿
9
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,920
这个距离也就是这样但
10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,460
实际上这个距离不是真实的要远多了实
11
00:00:56,410 --> 00:01:00,450
际上呢是 it's way beyond Jupiter 这个 way 在第一课里
12
00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:06,870
就见过了就是表示程度的一个副词就是什么什么的多
13
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:11,210
比如说 You're way taller than me 这是我第一课的时候
14
00:01:11,210 --> 00:01:17,330
举的一个例子你比我高多了那现在就是它是在木星以
15
00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:21,690
外很远的地方 Five times farther from Jupiter
16
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:25,330
than Jupiter is from us
17
00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:33,530
现在两个距离在进行对比一个是 Neptune from Jupiter
18
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:39,030
的距离也就是木星跟海王星之间的距离还有一个距离
19
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:46,150
是 J upiter from us 木星跟我们地球之间的距离两个距
20
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:51,750
离是怎么说呢是前者是后者的五倍前者是 five times
21
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:54,030
所以整个是
22
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:56,530
It's
23
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,460
five times farther from Jupiter than Jupiter is from us
24
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:04,960
我们再看一下这个图
25
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:11,940
也就是这一段距离应该是这段距离的五倍但是我们看
26
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:17,200
这个图好像就只有两倍吧但是如果真的五倍的话那就
27
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,880
划不下了 OK
28
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,580
So far out that it receives only 3
29
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:28,080
as much sunlight as Jupiter
30
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:30,990
离得这么远
31
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:39,840
So that 表示结果这么远它的结果就是 it receives 它得
32
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,500
到的太阳光仅仅只是木星接收到的太阳光的百分之三
33
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,540
好
34
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:52,540
现在我们再来看一下这个 fatherfather 指的是更远也
35
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:54,620
就是 far 的比较集
36
00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:59,580
当然大家可能也知道 far 有两个比较集的形式一个是
37
00:02:59,580 --> 00:02:59,940
father
38
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:06,110
一个就是这个 father 但是两者是有一点不同 Further
39
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:08,270
可以用在这样的句子里
40
00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:15,270
葡
41
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:23,690
萄酒葡萄酒如果把它叫藏的话这个 age 如果指人就是
42
00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:28,770
指人的年龄增长如果是指酒的话就是把它放在酒窖里
43
00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:32,890
面藏上几年这种酒龄的增长那
44
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:40,180
在这个过程中葡萄酒的滋味它的风味就会进一步的变
45
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,200
好 Further improved 所以大家可以体会到了吗这个
46
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,790
further 跟 father 有什么区别呢 further 可以指更抽象
47
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:54,290
的表示进一步的比如说 You need to investigate this
48
00:03:54,290 --> 00:03:55,010
case further
49
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,640
你要进一步调查这个案件但这个 father
50
00:04:00,410 --> 00:04:05,890
可以是一般是指具体的距离上更远好,
51
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:08,860
现在大家可以考虑一下这个脑筋急转吧。
52
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:14,070
Who is closer to you,your mom or your dad?
53
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:14,690
Which
54
00:04:18,020 --> 00:04:23,860
are the distances in fact that it isn't possible in any
55
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:27,840
practical terms to draw the solar system to scale?
56
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,680
In practical terms means in fact,
57
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,020
实际上。
58
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:34,960
无
59
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,120
论怎么样也不可能真的按比例去画这个 solar system
60
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,960
那这个句子的结构是 such thatsuch 后面跟的这一个部
61
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,180
分是
62
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:55,020
原因而 that 后面是结果跟我们前面的 so that 意思是有
63
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:55,880
点相近的
64
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:58,540
也就是距
65
00:04:58,610 --> 00:05:04,750
离是如此之远因为距离实在太远了所以也不可能真的
66
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:07,670
按比例来画太阳系的图
67
00:05:19,530 --> 00:05:20,170
就
68
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:26,830
算是你用了很多很多的折页 fold 是折叠 fold out pages
69
00:05:26,830 --> 00:05:32,770
指的就是这样的折页这本书本来只有这么点大但是为
70
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:36,610
了表达更多的内容它可以用折页的方式来扩大
71
00:05:38,650 --> 00:05:44,130
就算你加了许多许多的折页或者用很长很长的海报纸
72
00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:47,190
Poster 就是海报 You wouldn't come close
73
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:53,250
你也根本就画不了 Come close 就是接近你企图接近它
74
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:56,530
真实的比例但是不可能 On
75
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,820
a diagram of the solar system to scalewith earth
76
00:06:04,820 --> 00:06:09,420
reduced to about the diameter of a pea J upiter would be
77
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:14,160
over a thousand feet away and Pluto would be a mile and a
78
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,240
half distant and about the size of a bacterium so you
79
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,070
wouldn't be able to see it anywaydiagram 我们前面有说
80
00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:30,850
到三个词表示图式是一图有 maps 还有 charts 还有
81
00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:33,070
illustration
82
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:37,990
那现在这个 diagram 也是一样比如说这就是一个
83
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:40,530
diagram 它不是那种很真实的图片
84
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:41,770
OK,
85
00:06:41,870 --> 00:06:45,010
on a diagram of the solar system 所以你这里可以把它换
86
00:06:45,010 --> 00:06:47,290
成 on a map of the solar system
87
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:51,790
on an illustration of the solar system or on a chart of
88
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:53,770
the solar system to scale
89
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:01,490
如果要按比例去画的话在这样的一张太阳系的图上
90
00:07:05,810 --> 00:07:08,650
如果把地球缩小到
91
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,380
只有一颗豌豆那么大 Diameter
92
00:07:13,150 --> 00:07:16,370
小学高年级以上的同学肯定知道
93
00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:17,850
直径
94
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:25,260
简称是不是 D R 就是 Diameter 前后两个字母半径呢就是
95
00:07:25,260 --> 00:07:27,820
R Radius 第一个字母
96
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:33,250
也就是把地球的直径缩小到只有一个豌豆的直径那么
97
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:33,530
大
98
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,540
那么 J upiter would be over a thousand feet away 按这样
99
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:44,290
的比例的话木星要画到多远呢画到一千英尺以外的地
100
00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:50,660
方一千英尺是多少一个 feet 这个是负数单数就是 foot
101
00:07:50,660 --> 00:07:56,580
一英尺大概是三十厘米所以这一千英尺以外的地方就
102
00:07:56,580 -
