前幾天有同學(xué)和石頭反映《萬物簡史》題目出的太難了，石頭聽取大家的意見做了點改進，不過還是難易各半啊，有很簡單的詞語，主要還是從帖子中提到的幾方面給大家練習啊~~~至于長句大家就挑戰(zhàn)一下吧（主要是石頭我自己很想練練長難句聽寫，嘿嘿，拉大家陪練了不好意思?。?
今天的內(nèi)容提要：為了爭論如何把巖石按其形成的時期來進行分類，地質(zhì)學(xué)家鬧得很兇。爆粗口也在所不惜。在《泥盆紀大爭論》一書里，馬丁?J.S.魯?shù)峡藰O好而又有些沮喪地描述了這場爭論~~~

書本的朗讀語音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好學(xué)著模仿哦~~~?。?
因為原著為美國人所寫,單詞采用美式拼法,不抄全文,然后聽寫單詞或詞組(用[-No-]表示)以及句子(用[---No---]表示)。請邊聽寫邊理解文意，根據(jù)下面的TIPS訓(xùn)練聽寫。這樣可以提高聽力準確度，并為訓(xùn)練聽譯打下基礎(chǔ)哦~~~
TIPS聽寫訓(xùn)練點：單詞拼寫，時態(tài)，單復(fù)數(shù)，連讀，長難句（請邊聽邊用符號先記下內(nèi)容，然后自己回頭組織語句，最后校對，不要逐字逐句聽寫）

The issue arose when the Reverend Adam Sedgwick of Cambridge claimed for the Cambrian period a layer of rock that Roderick Murchison believed belonged rightly to the Silurian.

The fight was finally settled in 1879 with the simple expedient of coming up with a new period, the Ordovician, to be inserted between the two.
與此同時，地質(zhì)學(xué)有大量的分類工作要做，這項工作不是什么都一帆風順的。從一開始，地質(zhì)學(xué)家就想把巖石按其形成的時期來進行分類，但在怎么劃分時期的問題上經(jīng)常發(fā)生激烈的爭論--而且是一場曠日持久的爭論，后來被稱之為"泥盆紀大爭論"。劍橋大學(xué)的亞當?塞奇威克斷言有一層巖石是寒武紀的，而羅德里克?默奇森認為它完全屬于志留紀，爭論于是就發(fā)生了。爭論持續(xù)了好多年，而且越來越激烈。"巴謝是個下流痞子。"默奇森在給一位朋友的信中氣呼呼地說。
在《泥盆紀大爭論》一書里，馬丁?J.S.魯?shù)峡藰O好而又有些沮喪地描述了這場爭論。只要瞥一眼該書各章的標題，就可以知道一點上述感情的強烈程度。開頭幾章的標題的語氣倒還溫和，比如《紳士們的辯論舞臺》和《破譯雜砂巖之謎》，但接著就是《捍衛(wèi)雜砂巖與攻擊雜砂巖》、《指摘與反駁》、《散布惡毒的謠言》、《韋弗撤回邪說》、《殺殺鄉(xiāng)下人的氣焰》（惟恐你還懷疑這不是一場戰(zhàn)爭）、《默奇森發(fā)起萊茵蘭戰(zhàn)役》等等。爭論于1879年得以解決，辦法很簡單，在寒武紀和志留紀中間加一個時期：奧陶紀。
