培训英语口语,科学家称时间最终将停止(文/太平洋英语)The theory of time running out was devised by researchers from two Spanish universities trying to explain why the universe appeared to be spreading continuously and accelerating.“时间耗尽”理论由两名来自西班牙大学的研究者提出,他们试图解释宇宙为何不断膨胀,为何不断加速。Observations of supernovae, or exploding stars, found the movement of light indicated they were moving faster than those nearer to the centre of the universe.之前,科学家观察超新星或恒星的爆炸之后,发现光的运动频率暗示着它们比那些靠近宇宙中心的恒星运行得更快。But the scientists claimed the accepted theory of an opposite force to gravity, known as dark energy, was wrong, and said the reality was that the growth of the universe was slowing.但是,这两名科学家声称当前流行的“重力相反力”理论,也就是“暗能量”理论是错误的。他们还说,事实上,宇宙的增长速度在减缓。Professor Jose Senovilla, Marc Mars and Raul Vera from the University of the Basque Country and the University of Salamanca said the deceleration of time was so gradual, it was imperceptible to humans.毕尔巴鄂市巴斯克地区大学的琼斯瑟诺维拉教授和萨勒曼卡大学的劳尔维拉教授说时间减速是一个逐步的过程,而且人类无法感知。Their proposal, published in the journal Physical Review D, claimed dark energy does not exist and that time was winding down to the point when it would finally grind to a halt long after the planet ceased to exist.他们的理论发表在物理评论(基本粒子、场论、宇宙学)上,文章说宇宙中不存在暗能量。当地球消失后,时间也会一点点变慢,最终完全停止。Learning tips学习在线教程时,建议大家先把课文听两遍,再继续听老师的讲解,自行作笔记并完成练习学习词汇时,要把单词放在语句中体会其应用学习关键句型结构时,则要把它放在段落结构或文章里体会TextLesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs 阿尔弗雷德.布洛格斯的双重生活These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as white-collar workers for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. AlFs wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him Mr. Bloggs, not Alf.Language points(Attention:The following points are not covered by the video.
