This evening, [1]I'll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst, whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published. Welcome, Richard! [1]此处“I'll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst”为将来进行时，表示将来某时正在进行的或持续的动作；“whose...published”为whose引导的非限制性定语从句，whose在从句中作定语。 Richard: Thank you. [2]It's a pleasure to be here. [2]本句中It作形式主语，动词不定式短语to be here为真正的主语。 Interviewer: I guess [3]you have been asked about the title of your book before. [4]It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions①， but many people might think that the great age of invention is over②. [3]此处为省略that的宾语从句，从句的谓语部分使用了现在完成时的被动语态。 [4]此处为“It suggests that...”结构，意为“这表明……”，其中that引导宾语从句，作suggests的宾语。 Richard：Well, that's an interesting point. [5]There have been golden ages③ of invention throughout history④. 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 engine⑤， the telephone and the radio. And now, we [6]find ourselves in the great new age of technology． [5]本句为there be句型的现在完成时态。 [6]此处为“find＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。 Interviewer: So are most of the new great inventions tech­based⑥？ Richard: A lot, yes. For example, advances⑦ in virtual reality⑧ and wearable tech⑨， as well as the flexible⑩ battery⑪， mean we should soon be seeing further developments. In addition⑫， important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to⑬ increasing computer power. Interviewer: Can you give us some examples? Richard: Sure. New inventions like 3D printers have been used to⑭ make replacement⑮ hearts and bone parts⑯. In terms of⑰ the environment, it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house. It is capable⑱ of using GPS technology to travel to different places, [7]with computing⑲ technology controlling its “legs”. What's more, huge advances in solar technology⑳ mean it can be eco­friendly㉑， too. [7]此处为with复合结构，computing technology与control之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作宾语补足语。 Interviewer: Impressive stuff㉒！ 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 as part of big international teams. Interviewer: I see. [8]So what is it that inspires us to㉓ invent things? Richard：[9]Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution. This was no doubt㉔ the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times, [10]which much later developed into the car. Now, reduced energy supplies㉕ and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles㉖. But [11]what remains important is that we have an incredible㉗ desire㉘ to think and create, and that's the real spirit of invention. [9]本句为复合句。动词­ing短语作介词with的宾语；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a problem。 [10]此处为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]此处what引导主语从句，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 machine㉙？ Richard: [12]I think you've been watching 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 moment㉚！ But, [13]as they say, “Never say never㉛！” [12]本句时态为现在完成进行时，表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作。 [13]此处为as引导的非限制性定语从句，as意为“正如、就像”。 发明的新时代 采访者：晚上好！欢迎来到《字里行间》节目。今晚，我将与理查德·费尔赫斯特博士对话，他的新书《发明的新时代》刚刚出版。欢迎您，理查德博士！ 理查德：谢谢。很高兴来到这里。 采访者：我猜之前已经有人跟您提过关于书名的问题了。这表明当今是一个发明的新时代，但许多人可能认为发明的伟大时代已经结束了。 理查德：嗯，那是一个有趣的观点。纵观历史，(我们)曾有过发明的黄金时代。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。现在，我们发现自己生活在伟大的技术新时代。 采访者：所以说，大部分新的伟大发明都是以科技为基础的吗？ 理查德：是的，很多都是。比如说，虚拟现实、可穿戴技术以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，由于计算机功能不断提升，医学与环境科学也取得了重要进展。 采访者：您能给我们举一些例子吗？ 理查德：当然可以。新的发明，如三维打印机已经用于制作心脏和骨骼部位的替代品。从环境方面来讲，构建移动智能房屋已不再是空想。利用计算技术控制它的“腿”，它就能够运用GPS技术前往不同的地方。此外，太阳能技术的巨大进步也意味着它可以很环保。 采访者：真是太令人惊叹了！也有人告诉我，您本身是一位发明家，对吗？ 理查德：对的，但我只是一个庞大团队中的一员，大多数发明家现在都作为大型国际团队的一员进行工作。 采访者：我明白了。那么，到底是什么激励我们去发明呢？ 理查德：大多数发明始于意识到一个需要找到解决方案的问题。这无疑是古代人们发明车轮的原因，后来由此发展成为汽车。现在，缩减的能源供应和环境污染促进了新能源汽车技术的更多进步。但重要的是，我们有一种强烈的欲望去思考和创造，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：会有人发明出时间机器吗？ 理查德：我认为你看了太多的电影了。这样的机器还没能发明出来，要我说，目前要发明出像时间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！” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
