Unit 3　Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas [对应学生用书P50] Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas [对应学生用书P50] The New Age of Invention Interviewer：Good evening，and welcome to Between the Pages.This evening，I'll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst[1]，whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published[2].Welcome，Richard! Richard：Thank you.It's a pleasure to be here[3]. [1]此处使用了将来进行时，表示将来某时正在进行的或持续的动作。 [2]whose引导的非限制性定语从句，whose在从句中作定语。 [3]It在句中是形式主语，动词不定式短语to be here 是真正的主语。 [语用]　“It's a pleasure to do sth”是访谈录、演讲稿中的常见句型。 Interviewer：I guess you have been asked[4] about the title of your book before.It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions[5]，but many people might think that the great age of invention is over. [4]现在完成时的被动语态。 [5]that引导的宾语从句，suggest在此意为“表明”，故从句用的是陈述语气。 Richard：Well，that's an interesting point.There have been golden ages① of invention throughout history②[6].Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China：gunpowder，papermaking，printing and the compass.These things changed the world forever.Then there were the great Western inventions：the steam engine，the telephone and the radio.And now，we find ourselves in the great new age of technology[7]. [6]现在完成时用于There be 句型。 [7]“find＋宾语＋宾补”结构，介词短语in the great new age of technology作宾补。 Interviewer：So are most of the new great inventions tech-based③？ Richard：A lot，yes.For example，advances in virtual reality④ and wearable tech⑤，as well as the flexible battery⑥，mean we should soon be seeing further developments.In addition⑦，important advances have been made in⑧ medicine and environmental science thanks to⑨ increasing computer power. Interviewer：Can you give us some examples? Richard：Sure.New inventions like 3D printers have been used to⑩ make replacement⑪ hearts and bone parts⑫.In terms of⑬ the environment，it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house.It is capable of⑭ using GPS technology to travel to different places，with computing⑮ technology controlling its “legs”[8].What's more，huge advances in solar technology⑯ mean it can be eco-friendly⑰，too. [8]“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，computing technology与control之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用动词-ing短语作宾补。 Interviewer：Impressive stuff⑱！I've also been told that you're an inventor yourself.Is that correct? Richard：Yes，I am，but I'm only one member of a big team－most inventors now work as⑲ part of big international teams. Interviewer：I see.So what is it that inspires us to⑳ invent things[9]? [9]此处是强调句型的特殊疑问句形式。 Richard：Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution.This was no doubt㉑ the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times，which much later developed into the car[10].Now，reduced energy supplies㉒ and environmental pollution have led to㉓ more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles㉔.But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire㉕ to think and create[11]，and that's the real spirit of invention. [10]which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the wheel，which在从句中作主语。 [11]what remains important是what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作主语；that we have...create是that引导的表语从句。 Interviewer：One last question.This is the one everyone really wants to know：will anybody ever invent a time machine㉖？ Richard：I think you've been watching[12] too many movies！Nothing like this has been invented yet and I'd say we're a long way from an invention like that at the moment㉗！But，as they say[13]，“Never say never㉘！” [12]现在完成进行时，表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作。 [13]as在此引导非限制性定语从句，as意为“正如，就像”。 ①golden age n.[usually sing](尤指过去的)黄金时代，鼎盛时期 ②throughout history在整个历史上 throughout the world在世界各地 ③tech-based adj.以科技为基础的 思考　你还能想出哪些由“名词＋过去分词”构成的复合形容词？ ④virtual reality (VR)虚拟现实 virtual adj.虚拟的，模拟的 ⑤wearable tech可穿戴技术 ⑥the flexible battery 柔性电池 flexible adj.易弯曲的，柔韧的 battery n.[C]电池 ⑦in addition除此之外，另外 ⑧make advances in...在……方面取得进步 ⑨thanks to由于，幸亏 It was all a great success—thanks to a lot of hard work.由于尽心竭力，这才大获成功。 ⑩be used to do sth被用来做某事 比较　be used to doing sth习惯于做某事 used to do sth过去常常做某事 ⑪replacement n.[U]替换，更换；[C] 替代品；替换物 replace vt.代替，取代 ⑫part n.[C]熟词生义　器官，部位，组成部分 ⑬in terms of从……方面来讲，就……而言 拓展　in the long/short term从长远/短期来看 be on good/bad terms with sb与某人关系好/不好 ⑭be capable of doing sth有能力做某事 capable adj.有能力的；能力强的 词链　capable(adj.)—incapable(adj.无能力的)—capably(adv.能干地) ⑮compute vt.计算 ⑯solar technology太阳能技术 ⑰eco-friendly adj.环保的，对环境无害的 搭配　eco-friendly products 环保型产品 构词法　前缀eco-常用来构成与生态相关的词，如ecotourism(生态旅游)，ecosystem(生态系统)等。 ⑱stuff n.[U]东西，物品 形近　staff n.[C，usually sing.，U]全体职工(或雇员) ⑲work as担任……，从事……工作 ⑳inspire sb to do sth激励某人做某事 ㉑no doubt无疑，很可能 ㉒reduced energy supplies缩减的能源供应 ㉓lead to引发(某事物)；导致，造成 ㉔new energy vehicles新能源汽车 ㉕desire n.[C，U]渴望，欲望 ㉖a time machine一台时光机器 ㉗at the moment此刻，目前 近义短语　at present现在，目前 ㉘never say never别轻易说决不 文化百科 虚拟现实系统(Virtual Reality System，简称VR)是近年来出现的图形图像领域的高新技术。虚拟现实技术是利用电脑模拟产生一个三维空间的虚拟世界，给使用者提供关于视觉、听觉、触觉等感官的模拟，让使用者如同身临其境般地观察三维空间内的事物。 新发明时代 采访者：晚上好，欢迎来到《字里行间》。今晚，我将对话理查德·费尔赫斯特博士，他的新书《新发明时代》刚刚出版。欢迎您，理查德！ 理查德：谢谢。很高兴来到这里。 采访者：我猜之前已经有人就书名向您提问了，它表明当今是发明的新时代，但许多人可能认为辉煌的发明时代已经结束了。 理查德：嗯，这是一个有趣的观点。纵观历史，(我们)曾有过很多发明的黄金时代，想想中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、印刷术和指南针。这些发明给世界带来了永久性的改变。后来，还有西方的伟大发明：蒸汽机、电话和收音机。而现在，我们自己正处于伟大的科技新时代。 采访者：所以说，大部分伟大的新发明都是基于科技的吗？ 理查德：对的，很多都是。比如说，虚拟现实、可穿戴技术及柔性电池的发展意味着我们应该很快就能看到进一步的发展。除此之外，由于计算机功能的不断强大，医学和环境科学也取得了重要进展。 采访者：您能给我们举些例子吗？ 理查德：当然了。3D打印机之类的新发明已经用于制作心脏和骨头的替代品。从环境方面来讲，现在已有可能建造智能的可移动房屋。它能够运用GPS(全球定位系统)技术抵达不同的地方，并利用计算技术控制它的“双腿”。此外，太阳能科技的巨大进步也意味着它可以很环保。 采访者：真是令人惊叹的发明！也有人告诉我您自己就是发明家，对吗？ 理查德：是的，但我只是一个大型团队中的一员——大多数发明家现在都是大型国际团队的一分子。 采访者：我懂了。那么是什么激励我们去发明创造呢？ 理查德：大多数发明都是始于发现一个需要找到解决方案的问题。这无疑也是古代人们发明车轮的原因，后来由此发展成为汽车。现在，能源供应紧缩和环境污染推动了新能源汽车技术的进一步发展。不过，一直以来重要的是我们有一种强烈的对于思考和创造的渴望，那就是真正的发明精神。 采访者：最后一个问题。所有人都很想知道：会有人发明出时光机器吗？ 理查德：我觉得你电影看得太多了！类似的东西还没能发明出来，按我说，目前要发明出像时光机器这样的东西还有很长的路(要走)！不过，常言道：“别轻易说决不！” [对应学生用书P53] Ⅰ.重点单词 核心单词 1．shoot v. 射出(光、亮等)，放射 2．stuff n. 东西，物品 3. desire n.渴望，欲望 拓展单词 4．press v.按→pressure n.压力；挤压 5．flexible adj.易弯曲的，柔韧的→flexibility n.灵活性；柔韧度→flexibly adv.灵活地，易曲地，柔软地 6．capable adj.有能力的→capacity n.能力；容量 Ⅱ.重点短语 1．in addition 除此之外，另外 2. in terms of 根据……来说；依照……；就……而言 3. never say never 别轻易说决不 Ⅲ.重点句型 1．“It suggests that...”意为“表明……” It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions (这表明当今是一个发明的新时代)，but many people might think that the great age of invention is over. 2．find＋宾语＋宾语补足语 And now，we find ourselves in the great new age of technology (发现自己生活在伟大的技术新时代). 3．with复合结构 It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places，with computing technology controlling its “legs” (利用计算技术控制它的“腿”). 4．强调句型的特殊疑问句 So what is it that (到底是什么) inspires us to invent things?
