泛读教程unit9creativity课文翻译原文:Our Chinese nation is a smart and hard-working people, our ancestors once created a brilliant ancient civilization, but in the history of science and technology in the past hundred years, there are few Chinese names. What are the reasons for this? I think it has a lot to do with the decline of creativity as a nation.The essence of science is innovation. Innovation is not easy but it is not mysterious. It can be said that anyone can innovate. Let me tell you a true story. There is an American painter named Li Xiaoman. He always forgets everything he does, even when he is painting. He often forgets where he puts his eraser just after he finds his pencil. Later, for convenience, he fixed the eraser to the pencil with a wire, and then the pencil with the eraser was born. After being patented, the invention was bought by a pencil company for $550,000. This illustrates that innovation is possible if you put your heart into it.Where does human creativity come from? Many facts tell us that people's creativity is not innate, but acquired. Cultivate yourcreativity. We should dare to dream from an early age, those strange rich imagination often breeds wonderful innovation. Of course, dream and reality often have a far distance, so we also need to realize the dream to pay sweat, efforts, a little bit to shorten the distance between reality and dream, finally can turn the dream into reality. Only when we surpass the achievements of our predecessors, do not become trapped by authoritative opinions, and do not shrink from the difficulties at hand, can we improve our creativity.翻译:我们中华民族是一个聪明、勤劳的民族,我们的祖先曾经开创了灿烂辉煌的古代文明,然而在近百年来科学技术史上,却很少有中国人的名字。

The mudstone was not the only rock to catch Curiosity’s attention. The rover accidentally ran over another stone, dubbed Tintina, splitting it in two. The speckled, white surface of the interior is considered a sign of hydrated minerals – elements caused by water. This further supports the view that water once flowed through the valleys of Mars. Fissures, or cracks, which have been observed and examined in the surface of rocks, also attest to the likelihood of water at some stage in Mars’s history. Other aspects of Mars’s terrain also point to ancient river activity. A low area of land near where Curiosity landed contains multiple features that scientists have said closely resemble geological characteristics in riverbeds on our planet.

Just as mysterious is the device known as the Antikythera Mechanism. Dubbed the world’s first analog computer, this rusted machine dates from the first century BC and was discovered in a shipwreck in 1901. Though the device was created in Greece and discovered in Greek waters, the ship was Roman. It is speculated that device was part of the spoils of war and, but for the sinking of the vessel, may have ended up in then emperor Julius Caesar’s clutches. It wasn’t until a century after its discovery that experts realized that it was some kind of astronomical device. Knowledge of the contraption is still limited as it has over 30 settings, only a few of which are understood. What is completely astounding is that no evidence of as complex a mechanism as this can be found until the invention of clocks in China 1,000 years later.

• P.1 Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his friends from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world and subjugate non-magical people (Muggles) to his rule. Several successful derivative films, video games and other themed merchandise have been based upon the series. Since the 1997 release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide. As of June 2008, the book series has sold more than 400 million copies and has been translated into 67 languages, and the last four books have consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history.

漂亮的小女孩与牦牛杰哈德•A•德鲁克尼泊尔,这个多山的国度,以其美丽的景色吸引了众多游客。
在这个故事里,打动作者的不是风景,而是一个小女孩的痛苦生活。
她是谁?在她身上发生了什么事?叙事者是怎样帮助她的?请阅读下面故事,寻找问题的答案。
在尼泊尔的昆坰,茨翁•贡•茨翁比先生的房门很低,甚至象我这样身高只有五英尺二的人,从明亮的室外迈进昏暗的室内时,也得弯下腰。
屋内的地上铺了草,有许多牦牛粪,一看便知房客们的身份。
接着,我的前额撞上一根横梁。
一声咒骂没有出口,因为我们是在一个笃信佛教的地区,我不想冒犯高贵的乔达摩或他的追随者。
双眼适应了黑暗后,三头牦牛露出形体,它们正在咀嚼着下午的草料,毫不在意我的存在。
这些中亚牛性情温顺,头上长着可怕的犄角,在喜玛拉雅地区的经济中起着重要作用。
人们用牦牛驮运重物、用它们的毛编织衣服、喝牦牛奶、用牦牛奶制奶油、吃牦牛肉,并把牦牛粪当作上好的燃料。
我的额头还在阵阵作痛,于是我停下来一会儿,回想着过去几天中发生的事情。
我们一行四个老年游客中,数我年纪最大,已经七十一岁。
一个星期前,我们来到尼泊尔首都加德满都,与负责我们这次旅行的南希•乔见面。
南希是个年轻的美国女子,住在尼泊尔,能讲一口流利的当地方言。
我们这些老人都是第一次游览尼泊尔王国。
这个国家声称拥有世界十六大高峰中的十二座,珠穆朗玛峰也在其列。
所有这些险峻的峰峦都坐落在尼中或尼印边界上。
在加德满都观光了两天之后,我们登上一架尼泊尔皇家十八座飞机,经过四十分钟的浪漫飞行,来到海拔9286英尺的卢卡 -- 珠穆朗玛峰南麓所有通向主峰的道路起点。
我们从那里出发,在美景如画的山地愉快地旅行了三天,来到昆坰,并计划在夏巴族头人的叔叔家 -- 就是我刚进的那所房子 -- 过夜。
木质楼梯居然还装有扶手,直通楼上。
一段楼梯踏板已经破损,溜滑的;最上面的几级踏步和楼梯口的过道完全笼罩在黑暗中。
到了那里,我不知该往哪边走,直到有声音从左边传来,指明正确的方向。

生物学家们迟早会去探究梦这个大脑最神秘的一个功能可能是最难以触摸难以理解的人体功能。
只是在几年以前我们以为弗洛依德从哲学家和诗人那儿拿走打开梦境之城的钥匙并将它们永远地留给心理学家与精神分析学家。
但现在生物学家生物化学家以及神经心理学家正在侵入这片曾经被认为是神圣不可侵犯的领地。
他们其中的一位是法国人米歇尔·儒弗博士他在里昂医学院的研究被国际公认为同美国纳桑尼尔·克莱特曼教授的研究一样具有权威性处于同一个层面。
克莱特曼的研究自1960年以来由他的同事威廉·第门特继续下来。
儒弗博士1958年对梦的研究产生兴趣这或多或少是碰巧的事情或者说是实验性工作“我当时对证明巴甫洛夫的条件理论感兴趣用猫作为实验动物”他告诉我们。
“我们“在它们的睡眠中我们注意到了一种断续发生的出人意料的现象肌肉紧张的完全消失有时延续几分钟之后肌肉紧张重新出现而动物继续睡觉。
“我们想到了用各种可能的理论来解释这一现象。
我们甚至觉得猫须的特殊作用可能与这一现象有联系而且我们实际上试着将猫须剪掉看这是否起些作用。
经过长期的摸索后“从那时起我们的研究转向了对睡眠的生理研究特别是转向了我们所指的反常阶段。
这一阶段与动物或人做梦的时期是一致的。
” “这一研究是与美国的克莱特曼和第门特等合作进行的。
不久我们就收集了大量的信“我们能从最基本点开始。
