THE MAN WHO CHANGED OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE
Albert Einstein,who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics,is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived.He made numerous① contributions to the world,the most well-known being the general theory of relativity② and the famous formula③ E=mc2.Einstein was not only a genius④;he was a courageous⑤and kind figure loved by many people.
画线部分为独立主格结构,being的逻辑主语为the most well-known (contributions)。
This gentle⑥ genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879.When he was 16,he tried to enter university⑦ in Switzerland,but failed due to his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam⑧,despite obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics.After studying for another year,he managed to pass the exam,entering university in 1896 and graduating in 1900.
此处为现在分词短语作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。
After two years of looking for work as a teacher,Einstein took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent⑨ office.While working there,out of⑩ a strong passion⑪ for knowledge,he continued to study,earning a doctorate⑫ in physics in 1905.That same year,which was later recorded as a miracle year in science,he published four extraordinary⑬ physics papers.Following this,he gradually⑭ became famous throughout the world as the new Isaac Newton.After four years,he was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter⑮
research full-time at a university.In 1922,he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric⑯ effect.
此处为“连词+现在分词”构成的省略结构,将句子补全为While he was working there。
Circumstances changed in 1933,when Hitler came to power⑰ in Germany.Einstein,who was Jewish, found the doors of academic institutions⑱ closed to him.As a consequence⑲,he had to flee Germany.After spending time in Europe,he finally took up a position⑳ as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,USA.Following that,he continued to make great achievements in physics and mathematics.
画线部分为“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,closed to him是过去分词短语作宾语补足语。
To the public,he was seen as a slightly odd-looking but kind and funny man.He had a thick moustache㉑ and long white hair, which sometimes stood on end㉒ as though he had just received an electric shock.Although he was a genius,he sometimes forgot things,like his friends' birthdays.But despite his peculiarities㉓,he was loved by his friends and neighbours.There is even a story about how he helped a little girl who knocked on his door and asked for help with her homework.In fact,Einstein often encountered㉔ people on the street
who would stop him and ask him to help explain things.After many such occasions,he finally started saying,“Pardon me! Sorry! Always I am mistaken for㉕ Professor Einstein!”
此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰long white hair,which在从句中作主语。在该定语从句中,as though引导的方式状语从句使用了虚拟语气,谓语为had done (表示与过去事实相反的情况)。
On 18 April 1955,it was reported that Einstein had passed
away㉖,and the whole world mourned㉗ the great loss of a brilliant scientist.
改变了我们对宇宙认知的人
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦也许是现代物理学中最伟大的科学家,他经常被认为是有史以来最聪明的人之一。他为世界做出了许多贡献,最为知名的是广义相对论和著名的E=mc2公式。爱因斯坦不仅是一位天才,也是一位勇敢善良的人,深受许多人的爱戴。
这位温柔的天才于1879年3月14日出生在德国。16岁时,他试图考入瑞士的大学,尽管在数学和物理上取得了优异的成绩,但由于其入学考试的综合部分分数很低而失败。又学习了一年之后,他设法通过了考试,1896年进入大学,1900年毕业。
在找了两年的教师工作后,爱因斯坦找到了一份在瑞士专利局做文书的工作。当(爱因斯坦)在那里工作时,出于对知识的强烈热爱,他继续学习,在1905年获得了物理学博士学位。同年,也就是后来被记录为科学奇迹的那一年,他发表了四篇卓越的物理学论文。此后,他逐渐以新艾萨克·牛顿的身份闻名于世。四年后,他辞去了专利局的工作,进入一所大学开始从事全职研究。1922年,他因解释光电效应被授予了1921年诺贝尔物理学奖。
1933年希特勒在德国掌权时,形势发生了变化。身为一个犹太人,爱因斯坦发现学术机构的大门对他紧闭。结果,他不得不逃离德国。在欧洲待了一段时间后,他最终在美国的普林斯顿高等研究院担任研究员。之后,他继续在物理和数学领域取得了巨大成就。
在公众看来,他是一个外表略显古怪但又和蔼可亲、风趣幽默的人。他胡须浓密,头发又长又白,有时会像刚遭了电击似的竖起来。他虽然是个天才,但有时会忘记一些事情,比如他朋友的生日。他尽管有怪异之处,但还是受到朋友和邻居们的喜爱。甚至有个故事讲述了他如何帮助一个上门请求他帮忙做家庭作业的小女孩。事实上,爱因斯坦经常在街上遇到一些人,他们会拦住他,让他帮忙解释一些事情。经过很多次这样的情况后,他最终开始说:“对不起!对不起!我总是被误认为是爱因斯坦教授!”
据报道,1955年4月18日,爱因斯坦去世了,全世界都为这位伟大科学家的逝世而哀悼。

[参考范文]
The Historical Figure in China
Among the Chinese historical figures that are widely acknowledged,Fan Zhongyan is the most influential in my opinion.Here are the reasons.
Known as a Chinese writer and politician in the Song Dynasty,Fan Zhongyan was highly appreciated because he made great contributions to society.He spared no effort to carry out a series of reforms to make his country prosperous.Besides,he proposed the establishment of a national school system,which had a far-reaching influence on the Chinese educational system.
What impresses me most is his famous philosophy of life:“Be the first to worry about the troubles across the land,the last to enjoy universal happiness.”Fan Zhongyan is such a role model that he always encourages me to be a man of noble character.
