四、课堂讨论题
1. 老师,讲稿里说 'bubonic plague' 是看症状,而 'plague' 是看传播方式,这两个词具体有啥区别呀?为啥要分得这么细?
2. 为什么霍伊尔造 'Big Bang' 这个词是出于 'facetiousness'(开玩笑)?这个词听起来为啥不像个正经的科学术语?
3. 'Implode' 和 'Explode' 前缀不一样,一个是向内一个是向外。那 'Import' 和 'Export' 是不是也遵循这个 'im' 向内、'ex' 向外的逻辑?
4. 既然霍伊尔提出了稳态理论,还证明了重元素是怎么在超新星爆炸里产生的,为啥最后拿诺贝尔奖的是他的合作者福勒,他反而没得到?
5. 讲稿里提到人类鼻子进化成突出且鼻孔朝下,是为了防止 'cosmic pathogens'(宇宙病原体)掉进去。这个说法现在科学界还认可吗?还是只是霍伊尔的脑洞?
五、Discussion Questions (English)
1. Teacher, the script says 'bubonic plague' focuses on symptoms while 'plague' focuses on transmission. What's the exact difference between them, and why distinguish them so strictly?
2. Why did Hoyle coin the term 'Big Bang' out of 'facetiousness'? Why does it sound like a joke rather than a serious scientific term?
3. 'Implode' and 'Explode' have different prefixes, one inward and one outward. Does 'Import' and 'Export' follow this same logic of 'im' meaning inward and 'ex' meaning outward?
4. Since Hoyle proposed the steady-state theory and proved how heavy elements were formed in supernova explosions, why did his collaborator Fowler get the Nobel Prize instead of him?
5. The script mentions that human noses evolved to protrude with nostrils underneath to keep 'cosmic pathogens' out. Is this idea still accepted by science today, or was it just Hoyle's wild guess?
六、听力 / 讲稿全文
1
00:00:06,380 --> 00:00:10,340
He also believed that earth was not only seeded by life
2
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:13,580
from space,but also by many of its diseases,
3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,860
大家可能知道 seed,作为名词是种子的意思,
4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,160
这里是动词,也就是播种,
5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,040
这一句是被动语态,
6
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:27,320
他认为地球是被外星生命播了种子,
7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,620
那这样翻译会比较别扭,
8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,460
我们应该这样说,Hoyo 也相信,
9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,640
地球上的生命种子来自外太空。
10
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,410
他也相信很多疾病,
11
00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:41,710
比如说 influenza and bubonic plague,
12
00:00:41,950 --> 00:00:45,370
他认为很多疾病也是从外太空来的,
13
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:48,250
比如说 influenza,流感,
14
00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:51,430
流行性感冒,还有 bubonic plague,
15
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:56,550
这个词是鼠疫的意思,但是我们应该把它先分开看,
16
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:59,490
bubonic 是淋巴腺肿的,
17
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:03,680
plague 是瘟疫,合起来就是鼠疫,
18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,660
不过鼠疫这个词是着眼于它的传播方式,
19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,780
而 Bubonic Plague 是着眼于它的症状。
20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,380
这个 Bubonic Plague 又称为 Black Death,
21
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:17,220
也就是黑死病,
22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,900
在中世纪的时候曾经夺走了欧洲三分之一的人口。
23
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:23,280
I
24
00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:28,460
suggested at one point that humans evolved projecting
25
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:32,200
noses with the nostrils underneath as a way of keeping
26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,960
cosmic pathogens from falling into them 他
27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:43,200
甚至还提出人类之所以进化出突出的鼻子 projecting
28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,100
means protruding 向前突出的鼻子而且鼻孔长在下方
29
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,940
这是为了 keeping cosmic pathogens from falling into
30
00:01:53,940 --> 00:02:00,140
them 是为了不让宇宙避原体掉到鼻孔里边去 It
31
00:02:00,430 --> 00:02:04,710
was he who coined the term Big Bang in a moment of
32
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:10,590
facetiousness for a radio broadcast in 1952 Facetious
33
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:13,730
means being funny or playful 他
34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,480
在 1952 年的一次电台广播中开玩笑的创造了 big bang
35
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,920
这个词为什么说是开玩笑的呢因为这个词一听就不是
36
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:29,780
一个专业的词汇简直上很滑稽像开玩笑词的 big bang
37
00:02:30,590 --> 00:02:31,550
他指出
38
00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:52,450
他指出我们目前对物理的所有的理解当中没有找到任
39
00:02:52,450 --> 00:02:57,690
何的根据 Nothing 没有什么东西能够解释大爆炸理论
40
00:02:57,690 --> 00:03:01,890
大爆炸理论说的是是 everything gathered to a point
41
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:06,330
would suddenly and dramatically begin to expand 所有
42
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:09,040
的物质集中成一个点
43
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:14,580
非常小的点然后突然就发生剧烈的膨胀 Hollywood
44
00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:19,020
favored a steady state theory in which the universe was
45
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:22,700
constantly expanding and continually creating new
46
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:27,990
matter as it wentfavor means prefer 它
47
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:35,100
比较偏好稳态理论 steady 是稳定的 state 是状态在
48
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,680
稳态理论这个框架下宇宙是 constantly 是不断地在膨
49
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,660
胀而且不断地在这个过程中创造新的物质
50
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:13,120
在堪布里斯大学博
51
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,120
士霍尔兴奋地认同第二个想法宇宙某程度上是由无的
52
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,480
创造出来在一场大爆炸
53
00:04:23,770 --> 00:04:30,810
但不过,他却确保这全从无的想法捕捉了公众的想法
54
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:38,330
在 1949 年他称之为大爆炸原本意味着是一种欺凌的词
55
00:05:34,580 --> 00:05:35,260
大家
56
00:05:35,290 --> 00:05:42,810
要注意到这个 implode 和 explode 前缀不同 im 表示向内
57
00:05:42,810 --> 00:05:49,610
的 x 表示向外的比如 import 是进口 Export 就是出口所
58
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:54,530
以这个 Explode 是我们通常所理解的那种爆炸向外爆
59
00:05:54,530 --> 00:05:59,900
而 Implode 是向内爆 Liberate 这是
60
00:05:59,970 --> 00:06:05,150
一个动词我们先了解一下它的名词 Liberty Liberty 是
61
00:06:05,150 --> 00:06:11,250
自由的意思 St atue of Liberty 这是自由女神像那
62
00:06:11,660 --> 00:06:16,220
如果说 Liberty 是自由这个 Liberate 是动词那就是给
63
00:06:16,220 --> 00:06:21,260
她自由也就是解放的意思 So it means release or set
64
00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:21,660
free
65
00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:28,390
释放出大量的热 Hoyo 意识到恒星爆炸的时候
66
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:34,370
会释放出大量的热大概是 1 亿度甚至更高
67
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,640
足以 generate the heavy elements in the processknown
68
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,580
as nuclear synthesis Nuclear synthesis 可以把它分为
69
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:46,700
两部分一个是 nuclear 这是核,
70
00:06:46,780 --> 00:06:49,820
就是原子核,synthesis 是合成,
71
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,660
综合。
72
00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:55,260
核合成是形成较重的化学元素的过程。
73
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,220
这么高的温度足以启动核合成,
74
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,990
在这个过程中会产生更重的元素。
75
00:07:05,170 --> 00:07:07,650
Generate,means to produce,
76
00:07:07,890 --> 00:07:10,910
or to create,创造出来,
77
00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:11,630
产生。
78
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:14,870
In 1957,working with others,
79
00:07:15,070 --> 00:07:18,670
Hoyle showed how the heavier elements were formed in
80
00:07:18,670 --> 00:07:19,750
supernova explosions.
81
00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:23,780
1957 年,Hoyle 跟其他人合作,
82
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,900
证明了重的物质是如何在超新星爆炸的时候产生的。
83
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,560
For this work,W.A.Fowler,
84
00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:34,820
one of his collaborators,
85
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,020
received a Nobel Prize.
86
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:41,980
由于这项工作,他的一位合作者
87
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:50,560
获得了诺贝尔奖,而 Hollywood 非常遗憾,
88
00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:51,580
什么也没得到。
