第6章 红牙利爪的科学 Science Red in Tooth and Claw · 第7讲S2

1. 讲稿里说 'arguably the most important tooth'，这里的 'arguably' 到底该怎么理解？它是不是表示‘虽然有人怀疑，但确实很重要’？
2. 文中提到 'a trove greater by far than anything found before'，这里的 'trove' 具体指什么？它和普通的 'collection' 有什么区别吗？
3. 'weathered by the wind' 里的 'weather' 是动词还是名词？它和咱们平时说的天气 'weather' 有什么联系？
4. 为什么这个采石场叫 'Bone Cabin Quarry'？文中说 'hence the name'，这个 'hence' 在这里起什么作用？
5. 1898年发现的这个 'trove' 让恐龙搜寻风潮才 'just begun'，为什么之前那些伟大化石猎人的去世反而让风潮刚刚开始？

1. Could you explain how to interpret 'arguably' in the phrase 'arguably the most important tooth'? Does it mean 'although some doubt it, it is indeed important'?
2. What does 'trove' specifically refer to in the sentence 'a trove greater by far than anything found before'? Is there a difference between 'trove' and a regular 'collection'?
3. In the phrase 'weathered by the wind', is 'weather' a verb or a noun? How is it related to the common noun 'weather' (climate)?
4. Why is this quarry named 'Bone Cabin Quarry'? What role does 'hence' play in the explanation 'hence the name'?
5. The text says the dinosaur hunting craze had 'just begun' after the great fossil hunters died in 1898. Why did their deaths actually mark the beginning of a bigger craze?

1 00:00:05,810 --> 00:00:11,410 在 1865 年,他从父亲的绘品中赠予了最优秀的绘品, 2 00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:16,150 包括优秀的银河鼻子,在威廉顿博物馆, 3 00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:19,110 现在是新西兰博物馆,在威廉顿博物馆, 4 00:00:19,090 --> 00:00:21,530 在他们一直留下来的那里, 5 00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:23,550 最重要的是最优秀的绘品, 6 00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:26,230 最优秀的意思是最重要的。 7 00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:32,030 1865 年他把父亲的收藏品中的绝大部分包括那枚著名 8 00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:37,830 的秦龙骨头捐给了 Colonial Museum 就是殖民地博物馆 9 00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:42,270 也就是现在的新西兰博物馆 In Wellington Wellington 10 00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:45,310 是惠灵顿新西兰的首都 11 00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:51,570 在新西兰北岛的南端新西兰的国土是主要分为北岛跟 12 00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:52,170 南岛 13 00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:58,050 为什么叫做 Colonial Museum 为什么会是殖民地博物馆 14 00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:02,663 呢因为新西兰曾经是英国的殖民地我们从它的名称就 15 00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:07,290 可以看出来 New Zealand 我们再联想到 New York New 16 00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:13,730 Jersey New Orleans 这些名称都标志着这些地方是欧洲 17 00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:18,880 旧大陆的人所开拓的新的领地那当然新西兰现在是一 18 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,650 个独立的国家不过它至今仍然是英联邦的一员我们从 19 00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:29,190 它的国旗可以看出来它的国旗上有英国的米兹旗的图 20 00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:34,430 案这个跟澳大利亚的国旗是相似的 Where they have 21 00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:38,970 remained ever since 那从那以后它的这些展品就一直 22 00:01:38,970 --> 00:01:41,670 在这个博物馆展出但是 23 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,720 呢 The Iguanod on tooth that started it allarguably the 24 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,960 most important tooth in paleontology is no longer on 25 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,380 display 26 00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:57,350 The iguanod on tooth that started a door is no longer on 27 00:01:57,350 --> 00:02:02,390 display 主干结构是这样的不过那枚开启了恐龙时代 28 00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:08,690 那枚掀开畜牧的著名的秦龙化石不过那枚开启了恐龙 29 00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:14,690 时代那枚掀开了畜牧的秦龙牙齿的化石却不再展示之 30 00:02:14,690 --> 00:02:19,240 列 Arguably the most important tooth in paleontology 31 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,740 这是一个插入与插在中间的 arguably is used when 32 00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:27,280 giving your opinion to say that there are good reasons 33 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,320 why something might be true 也就是雄辩的有充足的理 34 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,920 由认为我们完全可以认为这枚骨头花石有这枚牙齿是 35 00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:44,840 古生物史上最重要的一枚牙齿但是这枚牙齿现在不在 36 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,560 on displayprime 和 arguably 这两个词可以再看两个例 37 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,060 句吸烟是造成肺部疾病的最主要的原因 38 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,420 莎士比亚绝对可以说是英国最伟大的剧作家 39 00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:22,240 当然搜寻恐龙的风潮并未随着那些十九世纪伟大的化 40 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280 石猎人的去世而终结 Indeed, 41 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,060 to a surprising extent, 42 00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:34,880 it had only just begun To a extent 是指在某种程度上来 43 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,060 说 To 44 00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:41,310 a surprising extent 就是颇让人惊讶其实这股风潮才 45 00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:44,510 刚刚开始 In 1898, 46 00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:49,350 the year that fell between the deaths of Cope and Marsh A 47 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:53,690 trove greater by far than anything found before was 48 00:03:53,690 --> 00:03:54,190 discovered 49 00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:56,050 noticed,really 50 00:03:56,310 --> 00:03:59,290 at a place called Bo one Cab in Quarry, 51 00:03:59,470 --> 00:04:03,470 only a few miles from Marsh's prime hunting ground at 52 00:04:03,470 --> 00:04:05,210 Carmel Bluff,Wyoming. 53 00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:11,160 其实就在 Cope 和 Marsh 相继去世的两年中的一年就是 54 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,240 1898 年。 55 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,520 a trove greater by far than anything found before a 56 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,800 trove means a group of valuable or interesting things 57 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,140 or pieces of information or the place where they are 58 00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:29,000 it's a collection of valuable items discovered or 59 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,980 found it's usually called a treasure trove 60 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,020 宝藏这个宝藏比以前所发现的都要大得多 was 61 00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:42,540 discovered noticed really 被发现了, 62 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,100 当然更确切的来说是被注意到了 at a place called Bo 63 00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,020 one Cab in Quarry, 64 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,240 就在一个被叫做骨头屋采石场的地方被发现了 65 00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:57,040 Cab in is a small house, 66 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,020 especially one built of wood in an area of forest or 67 00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:01,440 mountains. 68 00:05:02,490 --> 00:05:06,370 Only a few miles from Marsh's prime hunting ground at 69 00:05:06,370 --> 00:05:07,430 Comer Bluff, 70 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:13,990 这个地点距离 Marsh 的主要的猎场也就是华尔明的 71 00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:15,730 Commer Bluff 这个地方不远 72 00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:29,200 这里面大家看到一个词 weather 而且大家还要看到这 73 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:35,120 个 weather 并不是天气不是名词它加了 ing 说明这是一 74 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,160 个动词的现在分词动词加上了 ing weather if rock, 75 00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:45,220 wood or someone's face is weathered by the wind, 76 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,220 sun and rain,etc.or if it weathers, 77 00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:55,020 it changes color or shape over a period of time 指的是石 78 00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:59,260 头或者木头或者说人脸宝金, 79 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,220 风霜,经过风雨,风吹日晒, 80 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:09,080 雨打慢慢的改变了颜色或者改变了形状那 81 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,380 这里呢指的是指山体这个山在风吹日晒雨打之下慢慢 82 00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:22,640 的风化所以里边埋藏的这些 fossil bones 就露了出来 83 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,620 They 84 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,800 were so numerous Numerous means great in number 这些化 85 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,040 石数量如此巨大 in fact that someone had built a cabin 86 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,140 out of themhence the name 数量太大了有人就拿碱石的 87 00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:46,810 这些骨头化石建了一座小屋 hence the namehence means 88 00:06:46,810 --> 00:06:51,830 for this reason therefore for example it is handmade 89 00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:56,810 and hence expensive 这个东西是手工制作的所以很贵 90 00:06:56,810 --> 00:07:04,210 因此这个 hens 就是所以因此的意思有人拿这个化石建 91 00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:08,990 了一座小屋所以这个地方就被命名为 Burn Cab in 92 00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:12,170 Quarry 骨头屋材市场 In 93 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,880 just the first two seasons100, 94
