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?
六、听力 / 讲稿全文
1
00:00:12,850 --> 00:00:13,150
Hello guys,
2
00:00:13,450 --> 00:00:14,270
welcome back.
3
00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:18,030
Let's continue to learn about the Reverend Evans and
4
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:19,110
supernovae.
5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,360
Here is the summary of lesson 13.
6
00:00:24,130 --> 00:00:27,350
Zwicky was an odd and aggressive fitness buff,
7
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:30,990
but he was also a pre scient astrophysicist.
8
00:00:31,170 --> 00:00:34,810
He was the first person to propound the ideas of neutron
9
00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:37,610
star,supernova,and dark matter.
10
00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:40,540
如果您使用了不同的语言,
11
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,680
但总的意义是一样,那也没问题。
12
00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:49,580
再一次,前面的课题的问题。
13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,060
在导演参与他时,有多少超级传统人物在他遇见他时,
14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,300
有多少超级传统人物在他遇见他时?
15
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:56,850
我们来看看。
16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,320
不知不觉,宇宙的少数是我们看见的,
17
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:05,560
当我们向天上傾向。
18
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,340
实际上,我们已经遇到这句话了。
19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,040
在上一课的句子里边 inclined 的意思是倾向但
20
00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:30,750
凡任何人表现出这样的一种倾向想要怀疑他的男子乞
21
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:35,230
丐他就要就地做几个单臂俯卧撑 But
22
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:40,460
in our sentenceincline means tilt 在我们今天的句子
23
00:01:40,460 --> 00:01:45,880
里呢又见到了 incline 这个词它的意思是倾斜其实倾
24
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,600
斜和倾向这两个意思是有联系的大家看得出来那么
25
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:56,780
把我们的头倾斜着朝向天空它的意思就是当我们翘首
26
00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:59,560
仰望夜空的时候 Sur
27
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:03,540
prisingly little of the universe is visible to us We can
28
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:10,260
see very little of the universe 我们所能看到的宇宙真
29
00:02:10,260 --> 00:02:12,120
是少得可怜 Only
30
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,620
about 6,
31
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,660
000 stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth Naked
32
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:24,580
means not wearing anything Naked eye 指的就是没有用
33
00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:31,760
望远镜没有借助任何手段的裸眼去看也可以说肉眼从
34
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:38,710
地球上肉眼所能见到的星星只有六千颗 And only about
35
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:42,410
two thousand can be seen from any one spot
36
00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:48,670
说了肉眼可见的只有六千颗但并不意味着在一个晴朗
37
00:02:48,670 --> 00:02:53,950
的夜晚你站在一个地方往天上看你就能看到这六千颗
38
00:02:53,950 --> 00:02:55,930
其实你只能看到两千
39
00:02:56,450 --> 00:02:58,970
That is because if
40
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,720
you look at the sky from this part of the earth
41
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:10,840
在地球另外一端的这个夜空你是看不到的所以如果从
42
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,800
任何一个点去看的话你只能看到两千颗
43
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:30,390
但是如果你有了这个 binoculars 也可以读作
44
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:38,110
binoculars 就是双筒望远镜 BI 这个前缀表示双 R 就在
45
00:03:38,110 --> 00:03:43,310
前几课我们学到 Binary System 双星系统的时候跟大家
46
00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:48,530
说过了双筒望远镜那么你能看到的星星数量一下子就
47
00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:54,030
会跳到五万颗 And with a small two inch telescope,
48
00:03:54,450 --> 00:03:57,130
it leaps to three hundred thousand.
49
00:03:59,140 --> 00:04:03,980
Sm all two inch telescope Telescope 是天文望远镜
50
00:04:03,980 --> 00:04:10,260
2inch 指的是它的直径是 2 英寸的也就是比较小的小型
51
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:15,380
的天文温暖镜它的数字你所能看到的星星的数字就会
52
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,620
一下子飙升到
53
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:24,880
30 万颗可以看一下它用的动词是不同的 rises toleaps
54
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,180
to
55
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:30,760
虽然意思是相近的但是如果一直都用同一个词的话就
56
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,760
显得太单调了
57
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,060
但如果你的天文望远镜更高级一些 16 英寸的跟这个
58
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:54,180
Evans 用的是一样那么你就不仅能够看到星星你还能
59
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:57,080
够看到星系 Galaxies
60
00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:04,500
这个星系指的是像银河系这样的星系那才叫星系太阳
61
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:10,720
系呢虽然里边也有一个系字但是太阳系不是一个星系
62
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,640
它只是自己的一个天体系统在
63
00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:18,210
一个星系里边是有着非常多的星星
64
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:23,360
从他的图片中 Evans 认为他能看到 50,
65
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:25,280
000 和 100,
66
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:27,460
000 个星星每
67
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,480
个星系里面有十多亿的星星每一个星系里面都有几百
68
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,020
亿颗的恒星也
69
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,700
就是像我们的 The Milky Way Galaxy 银河系里面有很多
70
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:46,940
很多像太阳这样的恒星 These
71
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,760
are of course respectable numbersrespectable 如果指
72
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,720
一个人的话就是值得尊敬的那么这个数字怎么
73
00:05:58,910 --> 00:06:04,810
能值得尊敬呢意思是这是非常可观的一个数字非常大
74
00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:08,810
的一个数字令人肃然起敬的数字 But
75
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:13,340
even with so much to take insupernovae are extremely
76
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:14,320
rare
77
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,920
虽然说我们能够看到的恒星是如此众多但是超
78
00:06:21,010 --> 00:06:24,530
新星还是很难得一见的
