【劲词天天学】 最近，有关“穿越”等时间旅行题材的电影、电视剧、小说层出不穷，无限吸引大家的眼球，“活在当下”已经不再是主流，“穿越回过去”、“跨越到未来”才是虏获人心的趋势。今天Hi-English就带领大家一起学习“穿越英语”！ Time travel 这个词我们可以这样用： 1. Since Einstein revealed his special theory of relativity, we've known that time travel—at least moving forward through time—is possible. 自从爱因斯坦发表了狭义相对论之后，我们才认识到，“回到未来”并非完全不可能。 2. Black holes distort this fabric of space-time maximally, and you can show that black holes can be time machines. 黑洞极大程度地扭曲了空间。你可以发现，原来黑洞有可能就是所谓的“时光机。” 3. To travel in time, we'll have to go more than 2,000 times faster than the Apollo 10 spacecraft, which reached 25,000 mph. 要想真的进行时间旅行，我们的速度必须达到阿波罗十号太空飞船速度的2000倍。时速需要达到25000英里。 ============================================================================================== Today Topic: Time Travel Tom- Hey Bob, Last night I was watching TV and a movie about a time machine and time travel came on. Bob- Oh yeah, what was the name of it? Tom- “Back to the Future”. How cool would that be if you could travel through time? Bob- Yeah, I would want to go back and see what my grandfather was like as a teenager. Tom- Going back in time would be cool but I would want to travel into the future. Bob- Really, why would you want to travel into the future? Tom- I would want to go into the future and buy a newspaper and watch the news. Bob- What? You would waste your time watching the news. Tom- Waste my time? I would research what stocks were doing good so that I could come back and buy a lot of stocks and make a lot of money. Bob- You’re always thinking about making money. My wife would want to go into the future and see all of next year’s fashion trends. Tom- Yeah, and your wife is always thinking about shopping. Bob- I would also want to go back in time and see the Beatles live in concert. I would be able to get their autographed photos. Tom- That’s sounds good but what if you got stuck back in time? What would you do? Bob- I would have the technology to build a new one. Tom- Yeah you would have the technology but you wouldn’t have any of the materials to build it. Bob- I didn’t think about that. But I guess I could follow your lead and invest money since I already know what stocks and companies have done well in the 20th century. I would team up with Bill Gates and help him to build Microsoft. That way I could be a multi-millionaire. Tom- Now you’re talking! ===================================================================
那阳光 碎裂在熟悉场景 好安静 一个人 能背多少的往事 真不轻 谁的笑 谁的温暖的手心 我着迷 伤痕好像都变成 了曾经，你听过这首歌《时光机》吗？在现实生活中，如果“回到过去”不可能，那么在电影里面体验一把也不失为一种好的途径，今天Hi-English就给大家来推荐两部值得一看的时间旅行的电影。 1. The Time Traveler's Wife 《时间旅行者的妻子》 In the early 1970s, Henry is in a car accident that results in her death. Henry survives（v.幸存） by inadvertently（adv.不注意地） time traveling back two weeks earlier at the scene. Unable to control the timing or destinations of his traveling, Henry finds himself drawn to significant people, places, and events in his life but is incapable（adj.不能够） of changing events beyond the minor differences his presence creates. 译文：在20世纪70年代，亨利遭遇了一场车祸，在车祸中失去了生命，然而他却又以时间旅行的方式“幸存”了下来，回到了事故发生的两周之前。他无法控制时间的向前与退后，重新遭遇生命中的一些意义重大的人、地点、事件，但是却无能为力改变事情发展的进程。之后发生了什么呢？等待你在电影中去寻找答案！ 2.《Run!Lola！》《罗拉快跑》 The film begins with Lola receiving a phone call from her distraught boyfriend, Manni . He is a small-time criminal and has lost 100,000 marks belonging to his boss by accidentally leaving it on a train . Manni has to get the money within 20 minutes before his boss finds out, and plans to rob a nearby supermarket. Lola urges him to wait and tells him she will sort out the money. She decides to ask her father who is a bank manager. The main part of the film is divided in three "runs". Each run starts from the same situation but develops differently and has a different outcome. Each run contains various flash-forward sequences, showing how the lives of the people that Lola bumps into develop after the encounter. |
