As one writer once said: scientists build in order to learn, whereas engineers learn in order to build.一個(gè)科學(xué)家會(huì)問(wèn)，為什么一個(gè)問(wèn)題發(fā)生或發(fā)生時(shí)，一個(gè)工程師會(huì)想知道如何解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。歐洲的人口好幾年一直在走下坡路，因?yàn)槿藗兏敢馍偕⒆佣壹彝ピ絹?lái)越小。他們控制和預(yù)防污染，開(kāi)發(fā)新的藥品，創(chuàng)造先進(jìn)技術(shù)，幫助探索新的世界。還有一種可以在白天和晚上穿的叫做“小黑裙”的流行衣物，也是出自可可之手。這使人們能夠利用自己的家作為辦公室來(lái)提高效率和成本效益。人格魅力是一種神奇的、比較少見(jiàn)的品質(zhì)。人們往往會(huì)對(duì)魅力是什么產(chǎn)生誤解，把它看作是一種名氣，但它跟名氣有不一樣。但是，是什么原因呢？其主要原因是技術(shù)：輕松接入寬帶和電話、視頻會(huì)議的可用性。另一種一炮而紅的是香奈兒套裝，是在1923年推出來(lái)的。設(shè)計(jì)者必須問(wèn)自己這樣的問(wèn)題：“這件產(chǎn)品是真的想要的嗎？”，“如何與市場(chǎng)上的其他一切東西不同？”，“它真的滿足需要嗎？”，“制造它是否花費(fèi)太多？”和“是否安全？”第九章P90Para13Engineers’ contribution to societyEngineers find solutions to problems that are important to society. They control and prevent pollution, develop new medicines, create advanced technologies and help explore new worlds. They make the world a cleaner, safer, healthier place by inventing, building and improving all sorts of things from microchips to household appliances, from skyscrapers to spacecraft.工程師能夠找到解決問(wèn)題的方法對(duì)社會(huì)很重要?！钡谑翽106Last ParaThe effect on the world population will be great. Europe’s population has been in decline for several years now as people prefer to have fewer children and families tend to be smaller. However, the population will not decline as fast once these antiageing drugs start to bee widely available. It is believed that the populations in China and India could soar by 500 million.對(duì)世界人口的影響將是巨大的。正如一位作家曾說(shuō)過(guò)的：科學(xué)家為了學(xué)習(xí)而構(gòu)建，而工程師們?yōu)榱私ㄔO(shè)而學(xué)習(xí)。然而，這也是事實(shí)，設(shè)計(jì)方法經(jīng)常導(dǎo)致創(chuàng)新產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的出現(xiàn)。加布里埃爾“可可”夏奈爾用她的創(chuàng)新設(shè)計(jì)和典雅古樸徹底改變了時(shí)尚界。這使女性做司機(jī)更糟糕的想法是一個(gè)刻板印象。Part I 聽(tīng)力一遍、一遍、三遍Part II 閱讀Part III詞匯與語(yǔ)法第一章Adventurous有冒險(xiǎn)精神的；sociable友好的；eloquence口才；pedestrian行人；premium保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)；sensitivity體貼；extrovert外向者；introvert內(nèi)向的；anticipation預(yù)見(jiàn)；approach接近；extraordinary特別的；humanity人性；overshadow使黯然失色；underrate低估；charisma號(hào)召力；petent足以勝任的；vision想象力A touch of 少量；in one’s pany與…一同；be likely to 有可能做某事第三章Broadband寬帶；graphic圖樣的；query懷疑；budget預(yù)算；candidate候選人；charity慈善機(jī)構(gòu)；coordinate使協(xié)調(diào)；prospect可能性；mute上下班往返；costeffective劃算的；hypothetical假設(shè)的keep sth. up to date使…更新；miss out失去；throw
