趣味小知識:為什么“X”代表未知數(shù)(雙語視頻)
I have the answer to a question that we've all asked. The question is, Why is it that the letter X represents the unknown? Now I know we learned that in math class, but now it's everywhere in the culture -- The X prize, the X-Files, Project X, TEDx. Where'd that come from? About six years ago I decided that I would learn Arabic, which turns out to be a supremely logical language. To write a word or a phrase or a sentence in Arabic is like [w=craft]crafting[/w] an [w]equation[/w], because every part is extremely precise and carries a lot of information. That's one of the reasons so much of what we've come to think of as Western science and mathematics and engineering was really worked out in the first few centuries of the Common Era by the Persians and the Arabs and the Turks. This includes the little system in Arabic called al-jebra. And al-jebr roughly translates to "the system for reconciling disparate parts." Al-jebr finally came into English as [w]algebra[/w]. One example among many. The Arabic texts containing this mathematical wisdom finally made their way to Europe -- which is to say Spain -- in the 11th and 12th centuries. And when they arrived there was tremendous interest in translating this wisdom into a European language. But there were problems. One problem is there are some sounds in Arabic that just don't make it through a European voice box without lots of practice. Trust me on that one. Also, those very sounds tend not to be represented by the characters that are available in European languages. Here's one of the culprits. This is the letter SHeen, and it makes the sound we think of as SH -- "sh." It's also the very first letter of the word shalan, which means "something" just like the the English word "something" -- some undefined, unknown thing. Now in Arabic, we can make this definite by adding the definite article "al." So this is al-shalan -- the unknown thing. And this is a word that appears throughout early mathematics, such as this 10th century derivation of proofs. The problem for the Medieval Spanish scholars who were tasked with translating this material is that the letter SHeen and the word shalan can't be rendered into Spanish because Spanish doesn't have that SH, that "sh" sound. So by convention, they created a rule in which they borrowed the CK sound, "ck" sound, from the classical Greek in the form of the letter Kai. Later when this material was translated into a common European language, which is to say Latin, they simply replaced the Greek Kai with the Latin X. And once that happened, once this material was in Latin, it formed the basis for mathematics textbooks for almost 600 years. But now we have the answer to our question. Why is it that X is the unknown? X is the unknown because you can't say "sh" in Spanish. (Laughter) And I thought that was worth sharing. 聲明:音視頻均來自互聯(lián)網(wǎng)鏈接,僅供學(xué)習(xí)使用。本網(wǎng)站自身不存儲、控制、修改被鏈接的內(nèi)容。"滬江英語"高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護。當(dāng)如發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將依法采取措施移除相關(guān)內(nèi)容或屏蔽相關(guān)鏈接。

FOX和漫威合作!X戰(zhàn)警要出美劇了!
會是漫威電影公司除FX的《Legion》以外在電視熒屏上的突變體團隊代表作。[/cn] [en]Details about the pilot deal are still [w]scarce[/w], but Variety says the 20th Century Fox show will be written by Matt Nix, and will feature a couple who join an underground band of mutants after discovering their children have superhuman powers. Singer, most recently the director of X-Men Apocalypse, will join in an [w]executive[/w] producer role. This might be the first time that 20th Century Fox has collaborated with Marvel on a TV show, but not the first time the studio has worked with a comic creator to make a full series — it partnered with DC Comicsfor both Lucifer and Gotham.[/en][cn]有關(guān)試播事宜的細節(jié)幾乎還沒有,但是Variety報道稱二十世紀(jì)福斯電影公司的這部劇將由馬特·尼克作為編劇,劇情圍繞一對在發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的孩子們有超人能量后便加X-Men TV shows are now in the works, with Variety reporting that 20th Century Fox with partner with Marvelfor a series that will follow parents of [w]mutant[/w] [w]offspring[/w].
