She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky. It suddenly dived towards the ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light. The next morning, Tina mentioned it to her brother Tom. “I’m sure something landed in the forest near the hills as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said. “Let’s go and explore after school tonight.” At 6:00 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet. Then they saw an alien! It was tall, with a round head and a silver body. It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash. Suddenly, another alien appeared from the bushes in front of them. The children were frightened. But then Tom got a feeling at the back of his throat. He couldn’t stop himself and coughed loudly. The aliens saw them both and made a terrible noise! The children ran away in fear. The next day, Tina and Tom told their parents about the strange creatures. “They were very ugly. They had some hair, but they didn’t have any feathers,” said Tina. “There was something written on the spaceship,” said Tom. “It looked like this. I wonder what it means.” He drew some lines on a piece of paper. Dad looked at them as if they were crazy. “Since no one else saw these aliens, I refuse to believe you. Now go to school!” The children spread their wings and flew to school together. Dad looked at the piece of paper with the strange marks on it. “It looks strange,” he said, as he looked at the word “EARTH”. 中文翻译 蒂娜半夜醒来，望向窗外，看见空中有一道黄光。光束猛地冲向地面，她听见一阵响动，还看到了红光。 第二天早上，蒂娜把这件事告诉了弟弟汤姆：“昨晚我听见巨响，肯定有东西落在山脚附近的树林里了，咱们今晚放学后去探查一下。” 傍晚六点，姐弟俩来到树林。他们听见陌生语种的说话声，便躲在灌木丛后屏息藏身，随后看见了外星人：身形高大、脑袋圆圆、身体银白，站在一艘长长的宇宙飞船旁，飞船因坠毁破损严重。 忽然，又一个外星人从前方灌木丛钻出来，孩子们吓得浑身发僵。这时汤姆喉咙发痒，忍不住大声咳嗽。外星人发现了他俩，发出刺耳的怪叫！姐弟俩惊恐地飞奔逃走。 次日，蒂娜和汤姆跟父母说起怪异生物。蒂娜：“它们长得很丑，身上有毛发，却没有羽毛。” 汤姆：“飞船上刻着奇怪文字，我画下来了，不知道什么意思。” 说完在纸上画了几道符号。 爸爸觉得姐弟俩在胡言乱语：“没人见过外星人，我不信你们的话，快去上学！” 话音刚落，两个孩子展开翅膀，一同飞向了学校。 爸爸端详着纸上古怪的符号，目光落在 “EARTH（地球）” 这个单词上，喃喃道：“这文字好生奇怪。” 二、Unit8 Focusing on culture：An excerpt from The Time Machine（《时间机器》节选） 英文原文 The Time Machine is a novel by H.G. Wells. It is about a man called “The Time Traveller”. The following excerpt introduces us to five different characters. Here they are having a conversation after dinner about time travel. “But,” said the Medical Man, “if Time is really only a fourth dimension of Space, why can’t we move in Time as we move about in the other dimensions of Space?” The Time Traveller smiled. “Are you so sure we can move freely in Space? We can go right and left, backward and forward, but not up and down.” “Not exactly,” said the Medical Man. “There are balloons.” “Yes, but not before the balloons.” “Well, they could a bit,” said the Medical Man. “But you can’t move at all in Time. We can’t get away from the present moment.” “My dear sir, I’m sorry to disappoint you but you’re wrong about this. The whole world is wrong. We always get away from the present moment. Our thoughts pass along the Time-Dimension from the cradle to the grave.” The Psychologist nodded. He agreed with the Medical Man, “You can move about in all directions of Space, but you can’t move about in Time.” “You are wrong. For example, if I am remembering an event very clearly, I go back to the moment when it happened. I jump back for a moment. Of course, I can’t stay back for long. But if a man can go up in a balloon, why shouldn’t he stop or speed up along the Time-Dimension, or even travel the other way?” “Oh, this,” began Filby, “is all nonsense.” “Why not?” said the Time Traveller. “It’s against reason,” said Filby. “What reason?” said the Time Traveller. “You can argue that black is white,” said Filby, “but you will never make me believe.” “Possibly not,” said the Time Traveller. “But now you begin to see my reason for studying the Four Dimensions. Long ago I had a vague idea of a machine—” “To travel through Time!” said the Very Young Man. 中文翻译 《时间机器》是 H.G. 威尔斯创作的小说，主角是一位名叫 “时间旅行者” 的科学家。节选内容是五位人物晚饭后围绕时间旅行展开的对话。 “可是，” 医生开口，“倘若时间真的只是空间的第四个维度，那我们为何不能像在空间其他维度里自由移动那样，在时间里穿梭？” 时间旅行者笑了笑：“你确定人类能在空间里随心所欲移动？我们能前后左右走动，却没法自主升降。” “也不全是，” 医生反驳，“人类能乘坐热气球升空。” “但在热气球发明之前做不到。” “就算能小幅升降，” 医生继续，“人却完全无法在时间里移动，永远摆脱不了当下。” “很抱歉要推翻你的观点，不止你，全世界都搞错了。人无时无刻不在离开当下，思绪顺着时间维度，从摇篮走向坟墓。” 心理学家点头附和医生：“人能在空间任意方向行动，却不能在时间里游走。” “你们错了。举个例子：当我清晰回忆往事时，思绪瞬间回到事发的瞬间，短暂穿梭回过去。虽说无法长久停留，但既然人能乘气球升空，凭什么不能在时间维度里放慢、加速，甚至反向穿越？” “一派胡言。” 菲尔比插话。 时间旅行者追问：“何以见得？” “违背常理。” 菲尔比答道。 “什么常理？” “就算你巧舌如簧把黑说成白，我也绝不认同。” “或许确实很难说服你。” 时间旅行者说。 “但这正是我钻研四维空间的缘由，很久以前我就萌生了一个构想：造出一台机器 ——” “一台穿梭时间的机器！” 一位年轻男士脱口而出。 💡拓展小知识 《时间机器》：英国科幻之父 H.G. 威尔斯经典代表作，是科幻史上最早提出 “时间维度、时间旅行” 概念的名著，奠定现代时间穿越题材的创作基础。 H.G. 威尔斯：英国著名科幻作家，代表作还有《世界大战》《隐身人》。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
