Comment

fathom(完全理解) what will become of human beings in the distant future .Wells is able to explore many of the themes that obsess(使痴迷)him , including class inequality(不平等),evolution(进化)and the relationship between science and society

the time machine 原文选修四课文时光机It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three!今天十点钟,第一台时间机器开始了它的事业。

我最后检查了它一次,自己坐在真皮座椅上。

我将主板上的启动杆向前推了一英寸,然后又立即向后推。

环顾四周,我看到我的实验室和以前一模一样。

发生什么事了吗?我以为我的思想欺骗了我。

然后我看到了钟。

刚才是十点一分左右,现在快三点半了!I drew a breath, gripped the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket!I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.我吸了一口气,握紧启动杆,把它往前推。

At first, he stops the machine too soon, and it travels only a few hours. The second time he pulls the lever, he travels much further.

The people live in the huge buildings and all look the same. He looks for his machine so that he can return to his own time but it has disappeared.

It can make a person more confident. He does not know where to get more.Chapter 2Wayde asks Manningtree to let him have some of this medicine that will make him more confident.

《时间机器》TheTimeMachinethe time machinebyjohn loganfebruary 22, 2000int. columbia university - lecture hall - daydarkness. then a sound...click-clack, click-clack, click-clack...the familiar sound of chalk writing on a blackboard.fade up to see...a hand zooming across a blackboard at incredible speed,forming an endless algebraic equation.amazingly, when the writer reaches the end of the blackboardhe does not lift the chalk and return to the left side tobegin a new line -- instead he simply loops around andcontinues writing, right to left, upside down.the college students in his class -- all male and dressed inlate victorian clothes -- smile at this familiar peculiarityand tilt their heads to try and read the endless equation,copying furiously into notebooks.the hand continues to zoom along the blackboard... and then slows... and then stops... the students wait... the hand tapsthe chalk on the blackboard for a moment and we finally see...alexander hartdegen, a handsome young man not much older than his students, standing at the blackboard. he is gazing out a window, looking at a bird on a tree branch. he smiles.the students glance to one another.alexander remembers himself and turns back to the blackboard, his hand again flying as:alexanderso -- length, width, breadth --formulate the area and of course wearrive at solid mass. but imagineif we continue the equation as i'vedone -- can't we begin to recognizeanother dimension beyond the firstthree? i theorize we begin to findduration -- the object's place intime. let's note that as 'd'here...alexander reaches the left side of the blackboard and loopsaround again in an unbroken line to continue the equationfrom left to right again.the students are hopelessly lost. they finally stop copying and just watch alexander work, admiring his brilliant innovation.meanwhile, a man watches from the back of the lecture hall. he is david philby, alexander's closest friend, a bit older.alexander... if we accept the theoreticalpossibility of duration as a fourthdimension we find that our equationmight -- no, that's not right --he erases some numbers quickly with his hand, sending up a cloud of chalk dust, he coughs.alexander-- there, that looks more likeit...he continues to scribble at lightning speed. then...he begins humming to himself.the students watch, amused. philby smiles.alexander finally stops humming and writing. steps back and looks at the equation. then he turns to his students.alexanderdoes this make any sense to you?the students are confused. one offers:studentsir, if i may, wouldn't it beeasier if you applied a fibonaccisequence to the differentialcoefficient?alexander(smiles)it's not supposed to be easy, it'ssupposed to be beautiful... all ofyou think about that tonight andwe'll press on tomorrow. goodafternoon.the students begin to rise, class over. they leave the classroom talking eagerly about alexander's theories, inspired.a sudden new angle: from above we see alexander going to philby, leaving the classroom talking with him. we are inthe upper balcony of the classroom. a solitary figure looks down, watching them.this new figure is a thin man with pale skin, dry like parchment. somehow ominous.int. columbia -

黑猫英语分级读物the time machine

黑猫英语分级读物the time machineOriginally published in 1895, The Time Machine is a pioneering science fiction novella by H.G. Wells that has captured the imaginations of readers for over a century. At its core, the story revolves around a brilliant scientist and inventor, simply referred to as the Time Traveller, who defies the boundaries of space and time by constructing an astonishing machine capable of transporting him through the ages.The narrative commences with the Time Traveller recounting his incredible journey to a small group of skeptical friends, detailing his encounter with the gentle, childlike Eloi beings who inhabit the year 802,701 AD. Residing in a seemingly utopian world of lush vegetation and abundant resources, the Eloi initially appear to be living in harmony with their surroundings. However, as the Time Traveller delves deeper into this future realm, he uncovers the chilling truth about the subterranean Morlocks, a degenerate race of industrial beings who maintain the machinery that sustains the Eloi's idyllic existence.Wells masterfully weaves a tale that not only captivates readers with its imaginative premise but also serves as a profound commentaryon the potential consequences of societal divisions and the abuse of technological advancements. The stark contrast between the Eloi's carefree existence and the Morlocks' oppressive labor raises thought-provoking questions about the implications of a society stratified by class and the exploitation of resources.Through vivid descriptions and compelling character interactions, Wells transports readers to a future world that is both awe-inspiring and terrifying. The Time Traveller's encounters with the enigmatic Weena, an Eloi woman who becomes his guide and companion, add depth and emotional resonance to the narrative. The sense of wonder and discovery is tempered by the looming threat of the Morlocks, whose sinister presence creates an undercurrent of tension that propels the story forward.One of the enduring strengths of The Time Machine lies in its ability to explore profound themes while maintaining a gripping sense of adventure. Wells skillfully blends philosophical musings on the nature of time, the fragility of civilization, and the consequences of unchecked technological progress with thrilling action sequences and a sense of mystery that keeps readers eagerly turning the pages.Ultimately, The Time Machine stands as a testament to Wells's visionary imagination and his ability to craft a narrative that transcends its era. Its enduring popularity and cultural impact havesolidified its place as a seminal work of science fiction, inspiring countless writers, filmmakers, and thinkers to explore the boundless possibilities of time travel and imagine futures both wondrous and terrifying.。

The time machine

The time machine

Week 3-4翻译段落(二)The time machine“时光机”Apple wants to make smartwatches a mainstream technology. That will take time苹果想要将智能手表打造成其主流科技产品,为时尚早。

UNTIL around 1900, wristwatches were most popular among women. Men preferred pocket watches. That changed when time-keeping technology improved. Male consumers gradually saw how much quicker it was to glance at their wrists, rather than reach into their pockets, to check the time. Apple made a similar pitch on March 9th at an event in San Francisco heralding the launch of its newesjt product, the Apple Watch.大约在1900年,手表在女士中最为流行。

男士则更喜欢怀表。

这种情况在计时技术提升后发生了改变,男性顾客逐渐认识到瞥一眼手腕来查看时间远比伸手口袋快的多。

3月9号,苹果公司做了一个类似的远投,在旧金山发布它的新产品,苹果手表。

Executives at the giant tech firm said that wearing one will let people look speedily at their wrists to get information and complete tasks that they used to have to grab their phones to do. According to Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, who in 2011 replaced the firm's late founder, Steve Jobs, the new watch “is the most advanced timepiece ever create d”. In addition to keeping track of time, the watch can process voice commands, measure its wearer’s heart rate, act like a credit card at payment kiosks and provide alerts for incoming phone calls and e-mails. It can support many of the “apps” that are po pular on smartphones, such as social networks and those that facilitate taxi hailing. The watch’s battery can last for a day before it needs more juice via a magnetic charger.这家巨头科技公司的经理们说,带着这样一款手表能使人更快的从手腕上得到信息和完成任务,这些他们曾经需要伸手抓取手机才能完成的事。

《时间机器》(The Time Machine)1000字读后感

《时间机器》(The Time Machine)1000字读后感

《时间机器》(The Time Machine)1000字读后感《时间机器》是赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯的一部科幻经典,以其独特的时间旅行主题和深刻的社会哲学内涵而成为文学史上的重要之作。

通过主人公的时间机器,威尔斯探讨了时间、社会演变和人类命运的复杂关系,使这部小说成为一场富有想象力和思考的科学幻想之旅。

首先,威尔斯通过时间机器引领读者进入未来,揭示了时间对文明和社会的深远影响。

主人公在时间的隧道中穿越,目睹了地球的演变,从文明的繁荣到衰退,再到最终的荒凉。

这种对时间流逝的直观感受使得读者深陷于时间的奇妙之中,思考时间对人类社会的塑造。

小说中,主人公发现了未来的两个截然不同的部落:丽萨族和莫洛克族。

丽萨族代表了一种美好的未来,莫洛克族则象征着恶劣的堕落。

这对比呈现了社会的分裂和对未来可能发展方向的悲观预测。

通过这样的设定,威尔斯深刻反思了社会演变和人类文明的不确定性,引发了对社会分化和文明走向的深刻思考。

威尔斯通过主人公对未来部落的观察,揭示了对科技与社会关系的深刻洞察。

时间机器的发明代表了科技进步的高峰,然而,作者并非简单地对科技的发展持乐观态度。

相反,他通过描绘莫洛克族的堕落和社会破裂,警示人们科技进步可能导致的负面影响,使读者反思科技与社会的复杂互动。

威尔斯在小说中还透过时间机器的奇妙机制,引导读者对时间本身的本质进行深入思考。

时间被描绘成一个无情而不可逆的流动,主人公的时间旅行成为对时间概念的一次启示。

这引发了对时间和生命的短暂性的哲学思考,使读者思索自己在时间长河中的渺小存在。

此外,小说中的时间旅行也具有社会寓言的特征。

主人公回到过去,试图警告人们关于未来的威胁,却发现自己被当成了疯子。

这反映了对未知的恐惧和人类对于改变的抵触心理,使得小说具有深刻的社会观察力在整个故事中,威尔斯以简洁而深刻的笔触,勾勒出一个充满科幻元素和社会寓言的文学世界。

《时间机器》不仅是一部令人陶醉的冒险故事,更是一次对时间、社会和科技的沉思之旅。

the time machine 第二章内容概要

the time machine 第二章内容概要

the time machine 第二章内容概要The Time Machine Chapter 2: A Glimpse into the FutureAs the Time Traveler continues his extraordinary journey through time, he arrives at the second chapter of H.G. Wells' famous novel, "The Time Machine." In this chapter, we are transported thousands of years into the future, where the Time Traveler encounters a world vastly different from his own. Here is a summary of the key events and themes explored in Chapter 2.The Time Traveler awakens in a strange and peculiar world, where the sun appears to be a dim red disc, casting an eerie light across the desolate landscape. He finds himself surrounded by decaying ruins of what was once a great city, now inhabited by grotesque and seemingly primitive creatures called "Morlocks." These creatures are described as pale, with large, nocturnal eyes and a disturbingly bestial nature.The Morlocks become a focal point in this chapter, as the Time Traveler tries to understand their role in this future world. He observes that they live in subterranean dwellings, which they only emerge from during the night. The Time Traveler theorizes that the Morlocks have evolved from the lower working class of his own time, forced to adapt to a life underground due to the changing conditions on the surface.Curiosity fuels the Time Traveler's exploration of this dark future, and he soon discovers that the Eloi, another group of beings in this distant era, exist in stark contrast to the Morlocks. Unlike the brutish and nocturnal Morlocks, the Eloi are small, slender, and beautiful. They live a carefree and idle existence, seemingly devoid of any ambition or intellectual pursuits. TheTime Traveler is initially captivated by their graceful appearance, but as he spends more time observing them, he realizes that they lack any form of critical thinking or intelligence. They appear to be mere docile prey to the Morlocks.A key theme emerging in this chapter is the concept of degeneration. The Time Traveler witnesses the effects of thousands of years of societal and biological change, leading to these distinct groups of beings. The Eloi, descendants of the privileged elites of the Time Traveler's era, have become weak, ignorant, and entirely dependent on the Morlocks for their survival. On the other hand, the Morlocks, representing the laboring class, have evolved into a separate species, adapted to the dark underground and resembling more of a monstrous creature.Through the Time Traveler's encounters, Wells explores the consequences of extreme social divisions and the potential clash between the ruling and working classes. It is suggested that the Eloi, in their passive ignorance, ultimately allowed for the rise of the Morlocks as the dominant species. This chapter highlights Wells' concerns about the dangers of social inequality, offering a cautionary tale of what society might become if such divisions persist and intensify.Furthermore, this section of the novel delves into the persistent theme of technological progress. The ruins of the city the Time Traveler stumbles upon provide a stark contrast to the powerful civilization of his own time. The decayed buildings and crumbling structures reflect the eventual decline and abandonment of human achievements. It is implied that society'srelentless pursuit of progress and comfort, without considering the consequences, has contributed to this dystopian future.As the Time Traveler's exploration in this chapter comes to an end, he is faced with a disturbing realization - the Eloi feed the Morlocks. The Time Traveler becomes trapped in an underground well, surrounded by the Morlocks, who seem to view him as a potential meal. This gripping conclusion leaves the reader anxious to discover the Time Traveler's fate and builds anticipation for the subsequent chapters of the book.In summary, Chapter 2 of "The Time Machine" transports readers into a distant future, where they encounter two distinct and contrasting groups: the weak and ignorant Eloi and the brutish and nocturnal Morlocks. H.G. Wells uses this chapter to delve into themes of social inequality, degeneration, and the potentially disastrous consequences of unchecked technological progress. As we continue our journey through time with the Time Traveler, the mysteries of this strange world unfold, urging us to reflect on the issues raised within the narrative.。

THE TIME MACHINE
By H.G.WELLS
Today I will introduce the book“THE TIME MACHINE”. THE TIME MACHINE,the first novel by H.G.Wells,was first published in book form in 1985.Wells advanced his social and political ideas in this narrative of a nameless Time Traveler who is hurtled into the year 802,000 by his elaborate ivory crystal,and brass contraption.The word he finds is people by two races:the decadent Eloi,fluttery and useless,are dependent for food,clothing,and shelter on the simian subterranean Morlocks,who prey them.The two races symbolize Wells’s vision of the eventual result of unchecked
capitalism:a neurasthenic upper class that would eventually be devoured by a proletariat driven to the ddepths. Brian Aldiss said:Wells is the Prospero of all the brave new world of the mind,and the Shakespeare of science fiction.So it is a good novel,I hope someone will read it in the future. That’s all,thank you.
