小A我这两天去听网上的SSS了 明天回来听25~ 研究一下那个句子
@这招太有劲了哈哈

窃以为小A现在SSS可以只听不写了，省下的时间专攻TPO听写，更有效率！小A 11.26爆发吧~~！

小猴子！～～这两天偶打算把２０以后再听一遍，暂时不听写新的文章。温故而知新也！～～
ＴＰＯ剩下的几套听完了之后，就打算分类主攻薄弱的话题类别，今儿个在无老师那儿找到了最新的分类，共享一下

26. Vocal Joysticks Control Cursors With Sounds


Mouth sounds, rather than whole words or sentences, control vocal joysticks, enabling people without the use of their hands to deftly use computers. Cynthia Graber reports.


------------


The internet has changed the world. But the information and resources it provides can be out of reach to those with physical disabilities that affect their hands and arms. Now scientists at the University of Washington are developing a solution using the human voice. It’s called a Vocal Joystick. You might be thinking, okay, the software recognizes speech. So someone says, “scroll down the page,” and the cursor responds. But saying that sentence takes too long—people without physical disabilities navigate the web much faster than that.


Instead of full sentences, vowels move the Vocal Joystick cursor in eight directions.  Sounds like ah, ee and oo, k or ch, release the mouse. Raising the pitch of the voice speeds the cursor. The Vocal Joystick has been developed for the internet, for playing video games, even for operating a robotic arm. Developers believe that it could eventually allow people to drive a wheelchair using only sounds. They also plan on incorporating other vocal expressions such as trills and vibrato into later versions. Which eventually could sound something like singing to a computer.

1.    So someone says, “scroll down the page,” and the cursor （indicator consisting of a movable spot of light (an icon) on a visual display;）responds.
2.    such as trills and vibrato 颤音
3.    Vocal Joystick 声乐操纵杆
4.     vowel  n. 元音；母音

这篇难度不大，有几个生词。

video
n. [电子] 视频；录像，录像机；电视
adj. 视频的；录像的；电视的
v. 录制

嗯 好呀~ 下来看看 我今天听了25咯一会儿守约来贴听写稿~
关于那句话呀~

省略结构哦，原句应该是It’s fascinating that the dopamine in the researchers’ brains probably helped them solve the problem of creating dopamine that sticks like mussels.
有趣的是，研究者脑中的dopamine可能帮助他们解决了如何发明像the cement made by mussels一样极强粘性的dopamine.(因为之前提过脑中的dopamine负责解决问题和感受愉悦的能力)

嘿嘿，觉得杨鹏难句还是有用的么~

这篇的确难啊，生词一多就听不出来了 这证明词汇是硬关！

（25, 071019）This is Scientific American 60-Second Science. I am Karen Hopkin. This will just take a minute.
Dopamine. It is a crucial brain chemical, involved in problem solving and feeling pleasure. Now it’s gotten scientists into a sticky situation – because they used dopamine to make a biologically based superglue. The research appeared in the October 19^th issue of the journal Science.
Engineers in Northwestern University
were looking to produce a glue as strong and versatile as the cement made by mussels – which can cling to rocks, ship pulls and even each other. Mussel glue is made of protein, which can be tricky to produce in bulk. So the scientists turned to dopamine, because it has some of same chemical components found in the gummy protein.Sure enough, when the engineers mixed up a vat of dopamine, and adjusted the PH to match to that of sea water, they found that it sticks to pretty much everything. All you have to do is dip the item of interestand it’sinstantly coated with dopa-glue.
Best of all, you can then get other staff to stick to the dopamine coat. Say you want to move lead from your drinking water – just let it wash over the sticky dopamine and the toxic metal stays. Fascinating that the dopamine in the researchers’ brains probably helped them solve the problem of creating dopamine that sticks like mussels.
Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American 60-Second Science. I am Karen Hopkin.

黄色那句，有点疑惑哦？谁能分析一下语法成分呢，好像is后面应该跟dipping吧，这样对吗？
还有这句也看不太懂，dip the item of interest 何解？@整个听写营啊~~haha

All you have to do is dip the item of interest and it’s instantly coated with dopa-glue. 我的理解是:你要做的是把目标东东放dopamine里沾一下,目标东东的表面就立即被裹上dopa(也就是dopamine)胶水. All you have to do is (省略了to) dip the item of interest (省略了in the dopamine).
