Living in such a fast-changing world would not be easy and comfortable at all; as everything keeps changing, everyone has to move fast in order to catch up with the majority. However, people were much more stable and care-free when our grandparents were children; they did not have to learn a second language in order to get a better job, or read a lot in order to get informed. Yet in our age, these are supposed to be the responsibility of young people. my answer：首先，我们现在处于一个没有先前人类经历可以参考的革命性的时代。生活在这样一个快速变化的世界里面会变的不容易也不舒服：由于所有事一直在变，每个人都得快速行动以便赶得上主流。然而，当我们的祖父母还是小孩的时候人们的生活更加稳定且无忧；他们不必为了找工作学习第二语言，或者是为了知道一些事而去阅读很多。尽管如此在我们这个时代，这些却被认为是年轻人的责任。 noteacher's answer：首先，我们现在生活在一个前人都没有提及，同时也都没有经历过的变革的时代。生活在这样一个快速变革的社会不会感觉到轻松，也完全不会感觉到舒适，随着事物的快速变革，每个人都必须行动迅速来赶上主流的步伐。但是当我们的爷爷奶奶还是孩子的时候，人们其实更稳定也更无忧无虑；人们不用学习第二语言来获得更好的工作，或者读书破万卷来得到录取通知。但是在我们的这个时代，之前的一切全都成了年轻人的必备技能。 作者: lvaptx4869 时间: 2012-12-15 19:45 However, the comparison between different times is itself ridiculous. The criteria could not be easily determined, and opinions are highly personal. Anyway, we have a longer life span, more advanced medical facilities, and easier traffic than our grandparent when they were children, and we should treasure the present experience. Imagination of the past might only be nostalgia – if I ask my grandparents the same question, they might as well say that our life is much better than the past generations. Who knows? As long as the world is still peaceful, life at any time would not become too difficult to handle. my answer :然而，不同时代之间的对比本身就很可笑。标准没有决定性，而且观点是高度个人化的。不管怎么样，我们比我们的爷爷奶奶们还是小孩那个时代有一个更长久的寿命，更加先进的医疗设备，以及更为便利的交通（？）， 我们应该珍视现有的经验。对过去抱有太多想像只能是怀旧。假如我问爷爷奶奶同样的问题，他们也会说我们的生活条件比过的几代人都好。谁知道呢？只要这个世界还是平静的，任何时代的生活都不会太难处理。 noteacher’s:但是，对于不同时间段的生活的对比，本身就是很可笑的。我们很难找到一个固定的标准，不同人的想法不同的。不管怎样，我们的生命都更长，与我们的爷爷一辈的人的童年相比较，我们有更好的医疗设备，与更便利的交通，我们应该珍惜眼前的一切。对于过去的想念可能只会带来思乡之情，如果我们问偶们（^_^）的爷爷相同的问题，他们很有可能也都会说我们的生活比他们幸福得多。谁知道呢？只要这个世界是和平的，生活在任何一个时间都不会太困难。
有些语句第一次看真觉得没什么亮点，但是自己却写不出来。。。一方面是自己发现不了，另一方面是没有鉴赏能力作者: lvaptx4869 时间: 2012-12-17 15:24 标题: 功夫在诗外 The lecturer states that, although the commonly accepted three theories of birds’ navigation sounds convincing, it suffers from several flaws on various grounds, as is presented below.The first problem with the navigation theory presented in the text is the lack of substantial evidence. As is stated in the lecture, many birds could still navigate at night; therefore they could not navigate by using the sun as compass, since there is no sunlight at night for their reference. And stars do not help either, as there is only one bird species that is known to navigate by using stars. Therefore the sun and the star could not be birds’ compasses.
my answer:演讲者声称，尽管为大众接受的鸟航行的三个理论听起来令人信服，但是这些理论在各种情形下有一些缺陷，如下所述：
noteacher's:听力文章说，虽然现在被普遍接受的关于鸟类导航的3个理论听起来是很可信的，但是在某些特定的情况下它还是有一些漏洞的，我将在下面列数这些问题。 第一个问题，阅读文章当中所列举的关于鸟类导航的理论缺少实质性的证据。就像听力文章所陈述的那样，很多鸟类在晚上也是可以飞行的；因此他们不会是使用太阳当做指南针来飞行的，因为显然在晚上是没有太阳的。星星其实也帮不上忙，因为只有一种鸟类知道怎么用星星来进行导航。因此，太阳和鸟类都不能作为鸟类的指南针。作者: lvaptx4869 时间: 2012-12-18 11:31
The second flaw concerns birds’ ability to recognize topographical cues. They can remember a certain journey, but only after their previous travels via the same route. The phenomenon that birds that get lost could easily find their way home serves as a crucial example. On the contrary, the theory presented in the text is questionable. Furthermore, although birds can sense the earth’s magnetic field, the text ignores a crucial fact that birds could only distinguish north and south. What they could not perform is to find an indefinite destination hidden in complex landscape, which even troubles modern geographical technology, by their simple censoring system. Therefore, birds’ ability to sense magnetic field could not be the explanation for their navigation ability.
my answer:第二个漏洞在鸟类识别拓扑路线图的能力上。它们能记住一条实际的路线，但前提条件是它们从这同样条路已经走了好几次了。鸟类迷路后返回家的现象是一个关键的例子。相反，阅读文本中的理论值得质疑。 而且，尽管鸟类能感知地球的磁场，阅读文中忽略了一个关键的事实：鸟类只能区分南北方向。它们不能通过它们的简单的感知系统在一种复杂环境下找到隐藏的无法确定的目的地，这也是影响现代地理科技的一大难题。因此，鸟类感知电磁场的能力不能解释它们航行的能力。
noteacher's:第二个缺陷主要集中在鸟类的能够识别地形学的线索的这样一个能力上。鸟类虽然可以记住特定的路线，但是只有前一次飞行也必须采用相同的路线的时候，他们才能记住。那些迷路的鸟类可以很容易找到回家的路的现象就是一个可以很好的证明这一点。但是与之相反，文章当中展现出的理论是值得怀疑的。 不仅如此，虽然鸟类可以感觉到地球的磁场，文章当中忽略了一个很重要的事实，就是鸟类只可以分辨出南北。但是靠他们的极为简单的感应系统，他们不能找到一个隐藏在复杂地形之中的不确定的目的地，不过这一点连现代的地理科技都做不到。因此，鸟类的感知地球磁场的能力并不能很好地解释他们可以导航的这样一种能力。作者: lvaptx4869 时间: 2012-12-19 16:38
I strongly agree to the statement that most advertisements makes the products presented much better than they really are, and points below supports my idea. An essential reason concerns the nature of advertising – advertisers, in most cases, would only make products seem better than they really are, not the other way around. Since the ultimate aim of advertising is to persuade people into buying something, and people would natually be attracted by something that is desirable rather than repellent, advertisements are certainly made to display a more attractive image of products. Therefore, customers would first be gravitated towards the virtual product that is somewhat dishonestly pictured by advertisers, then desire to own it, and eventually purchase it. In this way, the desire of consumers is satisfied, the purpose of production achieved, and the advertising process completed.
my answer：我强烈同意大多数广告使得呈现的产品比实际产品要好很多的观点。一下是支持我观点的理由：
中英差异很大！！！这一段中有好几个长且句式复杂的句子。作者: lvaptx4869 时间: 2012-12-19 17:07
Another reason is that modern people are more effective than those in the past. And great efficiency is one fundamental way to success. We are able to make use of many tools increasing productivity today. For instance, the computer plays an important role in our life in terms of efficiency. As I want to search material concerning the “nuclear energy”, all I have to do is to type this term on Google and a great number of sources will pop out on the screen. Given the past, I had to go to the library and bury me a couple of days looking for the information on nuclear energy without the assistance of computers. The distance is conspicuous, thus modern people with advanced technology would succeed more readily.
my answer：另一个原因是现代人比以前更加有效率。而且效率是通往成功的一条基本路线。我们现在能利用许多工具来提升生产率。例如，就效率而言电脑在我们的生活中是一个很重要的角色。因为我要搜索关于核能的材料，我所需要做的是在google里面打出这个词，然后许多资源就会出现在屏幕上。考虑到以前的情况，我必须到到图书馆而且在没有电脑帮助的条件下搜索核能的信息埋头几天才能完成。这种差距是明显的，因此拥有高科技的现代人能成功得更快。
