Hints: bookish dapper indulgent Peabody Yale They began as [-1-] friends and admirers, even naming fossil species after each other, and spent a pleasant week together in 1868. However, something then went wrong between them—nobody is quite sure what—and by the following year they had developed an enmity that would grow into [-2-] hatred over the next 30 years.

But he had the means to buy almost anything he wanted. Although he came from a [-5-] background—his father was a farmer in upstate New York—his uncle was the supremely rich and extraordinarily [-6-] financier George Peabody. [---7---] mutual consuming It is probably safe to say that no two people in the natural sciences have ever despised each other more. Marsh, the elder of the two by eight years, was a retiring and bookish fellow, with a trim beard and dapper manner, who spent little time in the field and was seldom very good at finding things when he was there. modest indulgent When Marsh showed an interest in natural history, Peabody had a museum built for him at Yale and provided funds sufficient for Marsh to fill it with almost whatever took his fancy. 他们一开始是朋友和互相崇拜者，甚至互相用对方的名字来命名化石种类，1868年还愉快地在一起工作了一个星期。后来，两人的关系出了问题--谁也搞不清出了什么问题--到了第二年，他们之间已经成为一种敌对关系；那种关系在随后的30年里发展为强烈的仇恨。可以有把握地说，自然科学领域里再也找不出另外两个人比他们更互相鄙视对方的了。 　　马什比对方大8岁。他是个离群索居的书呆子，衣冠楚楚，留着整齐的胡子，极

It began in 1896 when Henri Becquerel in Paris carelessly left a packet of uranium salts on a wrapped photographic plate in a drawer. [---1---] The salts were emitting rays of some sort. Considering the importance of what he had found, Becquerel did a very strange thing: [---2---] Fortunately the student was a recent émigré from Poland named Marie Curie. Working with her new husband, Pierre, Curie found that certain kinds of rocks [-3-], yet without diminishing in size or changing in any detectable way. What she and her husband couldn't know—[---4---]—was that the rocks were converting mass into energy [-5-]. Marie Curie dubbed the effect "radioactivity." In the process of their work, the Curies also found two new elements—polonium, which they named after her native country, and radium. In 1903 the Curies and Becquerel [-6-] the Nobel Prize in physics. ([---7---]) When he took the plate out some time later, he was surprised to discover that the salts had burned an impression in it, just as if the plate had been exposed to light. he turned the matter over to a graduate student for investigation. poured out constant and extraordinary amounts of energy what no one could know until Einstein explained things the following decade in an exceedingly efficient way were jointly awarded Marie Curie would win a second prize, in chemistry, in 1911, the only person to win in both chemistry and physics. 19世纪给了化学家们最后一个重要的惊喜。这

The universe wasn't static. The stars Slipher looked at showed [-4-] signs of a Doppler shift—the same mechanism behind that [-5-] stretched-out yee-yummm sound cars make as they flash past on a racetrack. The phenomenon also applies to light, and in the case of receding galaxies it is known as a red shift ([---6---]). The Doppler effect [-7-] Johann Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, who first noticed the effect in 1842. Briefly, what happens is that as a moving object approaches a [-8-] one its sound waves become bunched up as they cram up against whatever device is receiving them (your ears, say), [---9---] This bunching is [-10-] by the listener as a kind of pinched and elevated sound (the yee).

于是专利局职员身份，爱因斯坦的论文并没有引起多少注意。他去了大学中学应聘做教师都遭拒，便又重新做起了三级审查员，只不过他没有停止思索。他很少带笔记本记录些什么，但如果带了兴许会更好。他的下一个原子学说得到了很高的评价~~~ ❤《万物简史》推出部落节目版，戳这里订阅: 文中需听写单词或词组用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。请边听写边理解文意，这样可以提高听力准确度，并为训练听译打下基础哦~~~ Physicists as a rule are not overattentive to the pronouncements of Swiss patent office clerks, and so, despite the [-1-] of useful tidings, Einstein's papers attracted little notice. [---2---] So he went back to his job as [-3-], but of course he kept thinking. He hadn't even come close to finishing yet. When the poet Paul Valéry once asked Einstein if he kept a notebook to record his ideas, Einstein looked at him with mild but [-4-] surprise. "Oh, that's not necessary," he replied. "It's so seldom I have one." [---5---] Einstein's next idea was one of the greatest that anyone has ever had—indeed, the very greatest, according to Boorse, Motz, and Weaver in their thoughtful history of atomic science. "As the creation of a single mind," they write, "[-6-]," [-7-] abundance Having just solved several of the deepest mysteries of the universe, Einstein applied for a job as a university lecturer and was rejected, and then as a high school teacher and was rejected there as well. an examiner third class genuine I need hardly point out that when he did get one it tended to be good. it is undoubtedly the highest intellectual achievement of humanity which is of course as good as a compliment can get. 物理学家一般不大重视瑞士专利局职员发表的东西，因此尽管提供的信息又多又有用，爱因斯坦的论文并没有引起多少注意。由于刚刚解开宇宙中几个最难解开的谜团，爱因斯坦申请大学讲师的职位，但是遭到拒绝，接着又申请中学教师的职位，再次遭到拒绝。于是，他重新干起三级审查员的活儿--不过，他当然没有停止思索。他离大功告成还远着呢。 　　有一次，诗人保罗•瓦莱里问爱因斯坦，他是不是随身带着个笔记本记录自己的思想，爱因斯坦稍稍而又着实吃惊地看了他一眼。"哦，那是没有必要的，"他回答说，"我极少带个笔记本。"我无须指出，要是他真的带个本子的话，倒是很有好处的。爱因斯坦的下一个点子，是一切点子中最伟大的点子--布尔斯、莫茨和韦弗在他们很有创见的原子科学史中说，这确实是最最伟大的点子。"作为一个脑子的独创，"他们写道，"这无疑是人类最高的智力成就。"这个评价当然很高。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

设为基础的，他只好顺水推舟地干了一下。他得出的结果是：地球的年龄是8900万年--这个年龄与开尔文的假设完全吻合，不幸的是与现实根本不符。 　　情况如此混乱，到19世纪末，你可以获知--取决于你查的是哪种资料--我们距离开始出现复杂生命的寒武纪的年数是300万年、1800万年、6亿年、7.94亿年或24亿年--或者是这个范围里其他数量的年。直到1910年，美国人乔治•贝克尔才作出了一个最受人尊重的估计，他认为地球的年龄也许不超过5500万年。 　　正当事情似乎乱作一团的时候，出了另一位杰出人物，有了一种崭新的方法。他是个直率而又聪明的新西兰农家孩子，名叫欧内斯特•卢瑟福。他拿出了无可辩驳的证据：地球至少已经存在许多亿年，很可能还更古老。 　　值得注意的是，他的证据是以炼金术为基础的--天然，自发，科学上信得过，毫不神秘，尽管是炼金术。结果证明，牛顿毕竟没有大错。那种方法到底是怎么知道的，当然要等下一章来叙述。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>
