歐文其貌不揚，脾氣習性也冷酷傲慢，他是達爾文唯一討厭的人，大概牛逼家都是孤獨的吧（石頭我的心稍微得到點安慰）。學術作假不是今天才有的事情。歐文冒充過赫胥黎的職位，搶過一起工作過的研究員的成果，還和皇后的牙醫(yī)關于牙醫(yī)的理論發(fā)生過激烈的爭吵~~~

書本的朗讀語音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好學著模仿哦~~~??！
因為原著為美國人所寫,單詞采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用寫序號。答完一空換行繼續(xù)下一空作答。文中需聽寫單詞或詞組用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。請邊聽寫邊理解文意，根據下面的TIPS訓練聽寫。這樣可以提高聽力準確度，并為訓練聽譯打下基礎哦~~~

TIPS聽寫訓練點：單詞拼寫，時態(tài)，單復數，連讀，長難句（請邊聽邊用符號先記下內容，然后自己回頭組織語句，最后校對，不要逐字逐句聽寫）

歐文并不是個很有魅力的人，無論在外表上還是脾性上。在一張中年的照片上，他看上去又瘦削又陰險，長著又長又直的頭發(fā)，眼睛向外鼓出，活像維多利亞時代情節(jié)劇里的壞蛋--有一張可以用來嚇唬小孩子的臉。在舉止方面，他又冷漠又傲慢，無所顧忌地實現(xiàn)他的雄心壯志。據知，查爾斯?達爾文惟一討厭的人就是他。連歐文的兒子（他沒過多久就自殺了）也提到他父親的"可悲的冷酷之心"。 　　作為解剖學家，他的才華是毋庸置疑的，因此他能做出最不要臉的壞事而又不受人指責。1857年，博物學家T.H.赫胥黎在翻閱一本新版的《丘吉爾醫(yī)學指南》時，突然注意到歐文被列為政府采礦學院的比較解剖學和生理學教授，他感到相當吃驚，因為這正是達爾文現(xiàn)在擁有的職位。當他詢問這本指南怎么會犯這么低級的錯誤時，他被告知那個信息是歐文博士本人提供的。同時，有一位跟歐文一起工作的、名叫休?福爾克納的博物學家當場揭穿歐文把他的一項發(fā)現(xiàn)歸功于自己。別人還指責他盜用標本，后來又否認他這么干過。歐文甚至為了一個有關牙齒生理學理論的功勞與女王的牙科醫(yī)生發(fā)生激烈的爭吵。
