1905年,當時一位年輕的瑞士職員——阿爾伯特?愛因斯坦在德國的物理學(xué)雜志《物理學(xué)年鑒》發(fā)表了一系列論文。其中三篇"稱得上是物理學(xué)史上最偉大的作品"——一篇使用普朗克剛剛提出的量子理論審視光電效應(yīng)(為作者贏得了一個諾貝爾獎)。一篇論述懸浮小粒子的狀況(即現(xiàn)在所謂的布朗運動),一篇概述了狹義相對論——完全改變了世界。其中愛因斯坦的諾貝爾獎等了19年才到,不過縱觀歷史他還不是最慘的,歷史紀錄是54年,由于諾獎不在死后追授,因此獲得該獎的秘訣之一還要包括長壽(哪怕老年癡呆了也行)~~~

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,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(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)

But the landmark event—the dawn of a new age—came in 1905, when there appeared in the German physics journal Annalen der Physik a series of papers by a young Swiss bureaucrat [-1-] , where he was employed as a technical examiner third class. (An application to [-2-] technical examiner second class had recently been [-3-] .)

His name was Albert Einstein, and in that one [-4-] year he [-5-] Annalen der Physik five papers, of which three, according to C. P. Snow, "were among the greatest in the history of physics"—one examining the photoelectric effect by means of Planck's new quantum theory, one on the behavior of small particles in suspension (what is known as Brownian motion), and one [-6-] a special theory of relativity.

The first won its author a Nobel Prize and explained the nature of light ([-7-]). Einstein was honored, somewhat vaguely, "for services to theoretical physics." He had to wait 19 years, till 1921, to receive the award, quite a long time, all things considered, [---8---], or the German Ernst Ruska, who invented the electron microscope in 1932 and received his Nobel Prize in 1986, more than half a century after the fact. [---9---] The second paper provided proof that atoms do indeed exist—a fact that had, surprisingly, been in some dispute. The third merely changed the world.



who had no university affiliation, no access to a laboratory, and the regular use of no library greater than that of the national patent office in Bern be promoted to rejected eventful submitted to outlining and also helped to make television possible, among other things but nothing at all compared with Frederick Reines, who detected the neutrino in 1957 but wasn't honored with a Nobel until 1995, 38 years later Since Nobel Prizes are never awarded posthumously, longevity can be as important a factor as ingenuity for prizewinners.
但是,劃時代意義的事件--一個新時代的黎明--要到1905年才發(fā)生。當時,德國的物理學(xué)雜志《物理學(xué)年鑒》發(fā)表了一系列論文,作者是一位年輕的瑞士職員。他沒有上過大學(xué),沒有用過實驗室,通常跑的也只是伯爾尼國家專利局的小小圖書館。他是專利局的三級技術(shù)審查員。(他申請?zhí)嵘秊槎墝彶閱T,但遭到了拒絕。)   他的名字叫阿爾伯特?愛因斯坦。在那個重要的一年,他向《物理學(xué)年鑒》遞交了五篇論文,用C.P.斯諾的話來說,其中三篇"稱得上是物理學(xué)史上最偉大的作品"--一篇使用普朗克剛剛提出的量子理論審視光電效應(yīng),一篇論述懸浮小粒子的狀況(即現(xiàn)在所謂的布朗運動),一篇概述了狹義相對論。   第一篇解釋了光的性質(zhì)(還促使許多事情成為可能,其中包括電視),為作者贏得了一個諾貝爾獎。第二篇提供了證據(jù),證明原子確實存在--令人吃驚的是,這個事實過去一直存在一些爭議。第三篇完全改變了世界。
