亨利：（望著墻上的掛鐘）請(qǐng)等幾分鐘好嗎？ WAITER:(in a rude manner)What39。ll take care of 主：霍勒斯，行啦，這兒由我來(lái)照應(yīng)。s amazing how much pleasure you get out of tile simple things in life, especially if you can39。從生活中如此簡(jiǎn)單的東西之中竟能得到這么大的樂(lè)趣，真是令人吃驚，特別是當(dāng)你暫時(shí)吃不到這些東西的時(shí)候。如果你現(xiàn)在能付賬的話，我就可以去照顧別的顧客了。s two o39。m very ...I...I don39。（他把信封拆開，拿出一張百萬(wàn)英鎊的鈔票。OWNER:(still shocked and nervous)Well..er...just one , look!(the hostess screams, the other customers look at her and she puts a hand to her mouth)Do you think it39?，敿?，來(lái)瞧瞧?。ㄅ习寮饨衅饋?lái)，其他顧客都望著她，于是，她用手捂住了嘴巴）你看這張鈔票是真的嗎？ HOSTESS: Oh, dear, I don39。t ：天哪，我不知道。OWNER:Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had issued two notes in this amount...Anyway, I don39。這么大面值的鈔票會(huì)特別引人注意的。HOSTESS: But he39。s a very strange, rich man.(as if he has discovered something for the first time)Why, yes!That must be it!店 主：也許他是一個(gè)非常怪異而富有的人。HOSTESS:(hits her husband39。OWNER:(to Henry)I39。HENRY: But it39。OWNER:Oh, please, don39。t matter at 39。ll e here whenever you 主：哎呀，先生，請(qǐng)別著急，一點(diǎn)兒也沒關(guān)系。先生，真的，我希望您隨時(shí)光臨。s very kind of 利：這，你太好了。s kind of must e whenever you want and have whatever you having you sit here is a great honour!As for the bill, sir, please forget 主：我太好了？不，先生，是您太好了。您就是在這兒坐一下也是我們莫大的榮幸！至于說(shuō)賬單嘛，先生，請(qǐng)把它忘了吧。s very nice of 利：忘了它？喔……，那就太謝謝了。OWNER:Oh, it39。先生，我從心底里感謝您。However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all ，一種普遍為人們所接受的理論是：宇宙起源于一次大爆炸，這次大爆炸將物質(zhì)投射到四面八方。For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was still just a cloud of ，但地球還只是一團(tuán)塵埃。The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or （開始）變得激烈動(dòng)蕩，不知道這個(gè)固體形狀是否會(huì)繼續(xù)存在下去。s （地球）猛烈地爆炸噴出了烈火與巖石，最終產(chǎn)生了碳，氮?dú)猓魵夂推渌喾N氣體，從而形成了地球的大氣層。Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared ，但和地球不同的是，這些水后來(lái)都消失了。What many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and ，由于地球上長(zhǎng)期有水存在，使得地球得以把有害氣體和酸性物質(zhì)溶解在海洋里。Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the ，水的表面開始出現(xiàn)了極小的植物。Next, green plants began to grow on were followed in time by land ，綠色植物開始出現(xiàn)在陸地上。Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first ，當(dāng)植物長(zhǎng)成了森林的時(shí)候，爬行動(dòng)物首次出現(xiàn)了。After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, 。However,65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ，六千五百萬(wàn)年前，恐龍時(shí)代結(jié)束了。This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the 。Finally about million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the ，大約260萬(wàn)年前，一些小巧聰明，長(zhǎng)著手腳的動(dòng)物出現(xiàn)了，他們散布在地球的各個(gè)地方。But they are not looking after the earth very ，他們對(duì)地球卻不怎么在意，They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into ，這使得地球上的熱不能釋放到太空中去。So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to e will depend on whether this problem can be ，在未來(lái)的數(shù)百萬(wàn)年中，生命能否在地球上延續(xù)，取決于這個(gè)問(wèn)題能否得到解決。上個(gè)月我有幸得到一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)同他一起去太空旅行。Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the first change would be the most ，李彥平向我解釋說(shuō)，在我們的航行中會(huì)有三次引力的改變，而第一次的改變將是最強(qiáng)的。As the rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth39。It was so hard that we could not say anything to each ，以至于我們彼此間都不能說(shuō)話了?！癢hy is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground.” I ：“為什么太空船不會(huì)向后朝地球的方向落下去呢？在地球上的時(shí)候，如果我從樹上掉下來(lái)，總會(huì)朝地上落下去的。When we get closer to the moon, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as strong a pull as the earth39。但是，月球的引力不像地球的引力那么大。When we got there, I wanted to explore ，我就想立即進(jìn)行探測(cè)
