二、核心词汇(7)
词条释义 / 讲解
prescientadj. 有先见之明的。文中指Zwicky在相关理论被证实前就提出了观点。
propoundv. 提出(理论、观点等)供讨论。文中指Zwicky首次提出中子星等概念。
visibleadj. 可见的。文中指宇宙中只有极少部分是我们肉眼能看见的。
naked eyen. 肉眼。指不借助望远镜等工具直接观看。
binocularsn. 双筒望远镜。前缀bi-表示“双”,如binary system双星系统。
galaxiesn. 星系。指由恒星、星云等组成的天体系统,如银河系。

三、句型与语法点(1)
要点说明
leap tov. 跃升至。文中用leap to形容使用望远镜后可见星星数量激增,比rise更生动。
四、课堂讨论题
1. 老师,讲稿里说 incline 既有“倾向”又有“倾斜”的意思,这两个意思之间到底有啥联系呀?咋就能从身体动作变成心理态度了呢?
2. 为啥从地球上一个固定地点肉眼只能看到两千颗星星,而不是前面提到的六千颗?这跟地球的形状有关系吗?
3. 讲稿里用 rises to 和 leaps to 来描述看到星星数量的增加,这两个词看着差不多,但用在这里有啥细微的区别吗?为啥不一直用同一个词?
4. 老师,太阳系里也有个“系”字,但讲稿里特意强调它不是星系(Galaxy),那星系和太阳系到底最大的区别是啥?咋区分它们呢?
5. 既然我们能用望远镜看到那么多恒星,甚至几十亿颗,但讲稿最后说超新星(supernovae)还是“extremely rare”,既然恒星这么多,为毛超新星爆发这么少见呢?
五、Discussion Questions (English)
1. Teacher, the script says 'incline' means both 'to have a tendency' and 'to tilt'. What's the connection between these two meanings? How did a physical action turn into a mental attitude?
2. Why can we only see about 2,000 stars with the naked eye from a single spot on Earth, instead of the 6,000 mentioned earlier? Is it related to the shape of the Earth?
3. The script uses 'rises to' and 'leaps to' to describe the increase in visible stars. They seem similar, but what's the subtle difference? Why not just use the same word repeatedly?
4. Teacher, the Solar System has 'System' in its name, but the script specifically says it's not a Galaxy. What's the main difference between a Galaxy and the Solar System? How do we tell them apart?
5. Since we can see so many stars through telescopes, even billions, why does the script say supernovae are still 'extremely rare'? If there are so many stars, why is a supernova explosion so uncommon?
