到了十九世紀，用已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生的定律和法則，幾乎可以解釋一切現(xiàn)象，用發(fā)明的單位度量衡基本可以衡量自然界一切事物，似乎這世界上的科學就要發(fā)展的差不多了~~~

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(jù)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(shù)，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）

8 EINSTEIN'S UNIVERSE

As the 19th century drew to a close, [---1---]: electricity, magnetism, gases, optics, acoustics, kinetics, and [-2-] mechanics, [-3-], [-4-]. They had discovered the X ray, the cathode ray, the electron, and radioactivity, invented the ohm, the watt, the Kelvin, the joule, the amp, and the little erg.

If a thing could be oscillated, accelerated, perturbed, distilled, combined, weighed, or made gaseous they had done it, [---5---]: the Electromagnetic Field Theory of Light, Richter's Law of Reciprocal Proportions, Charles's Law of Gases, the Law of Combining Volumes, the Zeroth Law, the Valence Concept, the Laws of Mass Actions, [-6-]. The whole world clanged and chuffed with the machinery and instruments that their ingenuity had produced. [---7---]



scientists could reflect with satisfaction that they had pinned down most of the mysteries of the physical world statistical to name just a few all had fallen into order before them and in the process produced a body of universal laws so weighty and majestic that we still tend to write them out in capitals and others beyond counting Many wise people believed that there was nothing much left for science to do.
第三部 一個新時代的黎明 物理學家就是以原子的方式來考慮原子的人。 ——無名氏 第八章　愛因斯坦的宇宙 隨著19世紀漸漸遠去，科學家們可以滿意地回想，他們已經(jīng)解開物理學的大部分謎團。我們略舉數(shù)例：電學、磁學、氣體學、光學、聲學、動力學及統(tǒng)計力學，都已經(jīng)在他們的面前俯首稱臣。他們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了X射線、陰極射線、電子和放射現(xiàn)象，發(fā)明了計量單位歐姆、瓦特、開爾文、焦耳、安培和小小的爾格。 　　凡是能被振蕩的，能被加速的，能被干擾的，能被蒸餾的，能被化合的，能被稱質量的，或能被變成氣體的，他們都做到了；在此過程中，他們提出了一大堆普遍定律。這些定律非常重要，非常神氣，直到今天我們還往往以大寫來書寫："光的電磁場理論"、"里氏互比定律"、"查理氣體定律"、"體積結合定律"、"第零定律"、"原子價概念"、"質量作用定律"等等，多得數(shù)也數(shù)不清。整個世界丁丁當當、喀嚓喀嚓地回響著他們發(fā)明創(chuàng)造出來的機器和儀器的聲音。許多聰明人認為，科學家們已經(jīng)沒有多少事可干了。
