Yet the characteristics of any kind of language style is not absolute. In order to meet the needs of the work for popular science, many scientific workers try to adopt a more popular style. Then there comes a popular scientific and technical writing style.Characteristics1.limit the use of technical terms2.examples---to make the writing more vividand appealing to the readersCharacteristics1.figures of speech--to make the sentences figurative so that the readers can easily understand and associate them with what they are familiar with2.noun pre-modifiersgame theory; human growth genes;theme park; museum villages;world car;etcOsborne Bennet Hardison(1928-1990)born in San Diego, California in 1928educated at the University of North Carolina and the University of Wisconsin.taught at Princeton and the University of North Carolina.Well-known for his profound insights into the change in modern culture brought about by modern science and technology.His provocative views are stimulating and informative.Disappearing Through theSkylight(1980)As for the central theme of this book, the writer says in the Preface of the book, “This book is about the ways culture has changed in the past century, changing the identities of all those born into it. Its metaphor for the effect of change on culture is “disappearance”.The book has a sub-title, “Culture and Technology in the Twentieth Century”the metaphorical phrase “Disappearing Through the Skylight”As for “disappearance”, he says, “In the 19th cen, science presented nature as a group of objects set comfortably and solidly in the middle distance before the eyes of the beholder(目睹者、旁观者). In the work of D’Arcy Thompson, published around the turn of the century, nature has disappeared. It has become a set of geometric and mathematical relations that lie under the surface of the visible. It is still, however, indubitably(无疑地、确实地) there. Today, nature has slipped, perhaps finally, beyond our field of vision. We can imitate it in mathematics--we can even produce convincing image of it---but we can never know it. We can only know our own creations.”Four concepts proposedThe real world is disappearingThe universalizing tendency of science and technology: there is only one thermodynamics, generics, and so onIf man creates machines, machines in turn shape their creators: the modern man is no longer a unique individual, the product of a special environment and cultureThe disappearance of history is a form of liberation and this feeling of liberation is often expressed through play (or the playfulness of science)2.

Text AnalysisSect. I para 1-8Science is committed to the universals. The basic concepts of science are understood,accepted and adopted by scientists all overthe world. This universalizing effect isreflected in automaking, architectural, dressand musical styles. They all tend to becomeworld styles.The modern man is no longer a uniqueindividual.

The affair that had the deepest and most lasting effect on Vita's personal life was that with novelist Violet Trefusis, daughter to courtesan Alice Keppel.

The affair eventually ended badly, with Trefusis pursuing Sackville-West to great lengths, until Sackville-West's affairs with other women finally took there toll, but Trefusis refused to give up.

Backgrounf information1. About the authorVictoria Mary Sackville- West (1892-1962) was an English poet and novelist, a member of the Bloomsbury group, an informal group of literary and artistic friends, a close friend of Virginia Woolf.Her poems include The Land (1926), Solitude (1938), The Garden (1946), All Passion Spent (1931). Her poetry is traditional in form, reminiscent of the work of the English nature poets of the age of romanticism.A prolific writer, Victoria Sackville-West is the author of 15 novels, as well as biographies and travel books.2. About the novel No Signposts in the SeaThis novel is writen in the form of a journal kept by a man called Edmund Carr, 50, an influential political columnist and bachelor. He learns that he has a limited time to live--- a few days or weeks, a month or two at most. How shall he spend them? In this quandary, he learns that a widow who he has lately met at random social occasions has booked passage on a cruise to the Far East. Her qualities, her intelligence and warmth stiffened by a deep reserve, have struck him as uncommon; he decided to be abroad. His contact with Laura, the widow, gives Carr an unfamiliar peace and a profound change in perspective. Power, prestige, practicality--- the former watchwords of his career--- lose their ring. Illusion, which he had adhorred, and the natural world, uninvaded by civilization, begin to seem transcendent. And a third-some Colonel arouses his all-too-human ignominy of jealousy, despair, meanness, and outbursts of disappointment against his ―rival‖.

So he refrained from doing so because personally he like the Colonel and didn‘t want to make fun of him .10.I observe with amusement how totally the concerns of the world … to the extentof a bored distaste: I was once so completely absorbed in the important affairs of the world that I devoted all my attention, time and energy to them and only occasionally did I allow myself a little rest by reading poetry or listening to music.Yet now these world problems no longer hold any interest for me.

I have now become a liberated person, bathed in magic waters, and I feel I am like Endymion, a young and strong youth who has a god for his father and gifted with the power to see the world given by gods at Olympus.mythological waters: magic waters, that appear in mythology, such as the Lethe, the river of forgetfulness whose water produced loss of memory in those whodrank of it;Here the narrator uses this allusion because he feels he has become incapable of envy, ambition, malice, etc. while floating in the swimming pool, as if the pool had changed him completely by a miracle just like mythological waters.30.I understand the meaning of pantheism: I understand why people worship manyobjects as their gods. The narrator implies man is passing and transient, while Nature, the objective world, is lasting. pantheism: the doctrine that God is not personality ( as in Christianity ) but that all laws, forces, manifestations, etc, of the self-existing universe are God.31.discarded … all usual frailties: got rid of all moral weaknesses usually found in aperson, such as envy, malice, etc.32.score off my neighbour: defeat my neighbour in competitions; gain someadvantage over my neighbour cf. keep up with the Joneses33.enjoy this purification: enjoy the purification of the soul –the state of being freefrom all those moral weaknesses34.the clean voluptuousness of the warm breeze on my skin: transferred epithet; thesensual delight, pleasure produced by the clean warm breeze brushing against my skin.35.the cool support of the water: another instance of transferred epithet; the supportof the cool water36.rippled with little white ponies: White ponies ( small horses ) are a metaphorreferring to the spray of breaking waves.37.when the sky surely seems blacker and the stars more golden because the air hereis infinitely cleaner than at home ( in England ) : The air is not polluted, and there is no fog on the sea.38.sometimes these untaught scribblers have a way of putting things: Sometimesthese uneducated people who write carelessly know how to describe things, express ideas.39.it may be precipitious bluffs of grey limestone rising sheer out of the sea: Thecoast may be high, steep cliffs of grey limestone, rising perpendicularly out of the sea.40.bleached and barren: Alliteration.bleached: white, colourlessbarren: not producing crops or fruit; having little or no vegetation e.g. barren soil, barren hills41.forbidding: looking dangerous, threatening or disagreeable42.These coasts remind me of people, either they are forbidding or … all they have togive at a glance: Analogy.The author compares the sheer steep cliffs to forbidding, unapproachable people, and the barren open sandy beach to people who have nothing to reveal.43.with ranges of mountains soaring behind them, full of possibilities, peaks to bescaled by the most daring: Behind the stern cliffs, rising high into the sky are ranges of mountains and peaks which only the most daring people climb.

This is another instance of analogy. The author is comparing the cliffs to Laura. Both look stern at first glance. Behind the cliffs there are mountains and peaks whose crags and valleys present mysterious things.And Laura, serious though she may look, has a deep reserve and profound feelings of tenderness in the recesses of her character. The mysterious peaks are to be scaled by the most daring. Similarly only the courageous can discover the secrets in the innermost place of Laura‘s heart.47.a great purple mountain overhung by a great purple cloud: There was a big purplecloud over a large purple mountain.48.Haunted: The spot must be haunted, that is, frequented by ghosts.49.he gets relieved every so often: Very often somebody else would replace him sothat he would be set free from the post and take a rest.50.I find it refreshing to think there are still a few odd fish left in the world: I feelcomfortable when I think that there are still a few strange and stupid people left in the world ( who are willing to do the jobs people usually hate doing ).fish: (colloquial ) person thought of as like a fish in being easily lured by bait;person lacking intelligence or emotion51.there is a touch of rough poetry about him: There is a trace of simple poeticquality in his character.52.has used his eyes and kept his ears open: has observed carefully and learnt muchfrom what he has heard53.knowing the latitude we can permit ourselves: knowing how far we can allowourselves to go; knowing how much freedom of conduct we can allow ourselves to have. Here the word latitude, used figuratively, means freedom of opinion, conduct, action, etc.54.Thus, and no farther, can I follow Laura: Like the albatross, I should know howfar I can not follow Laura farther than that. What he means is that there is a limit to his relationship with Laura, and that he should not allow himself to go beyond that limit. This reveals the narrator‘s feeling torn between love of Laura and his self-acknowledgement that she is unattainable for him.55.there is quite a lot of lore stored away in the Colonel‘s otherwise not veryinteresting mind: There is quite a lot of knowledge stored away in the Colonel‘s mind, which is not interesting except for that. lore: knowledge or wisdom, especially of an unscientific kind, about a certain subject, e.g. a countryman‘s weather lore56.I prefer having her to myself: I prefer being with he alone without the presence ofa third party.57.it is seldom that we espy so much as another ship: We seldom catch sight of evenanother ship.58.to see the last of the monster which bears us into and out of sight: to see no morethe great, strange-looking ship which carries us into and out of the range of their sight59.Our wake closes up and we might never have been: When the track left in thewater by our moving ship disappears, the sea is peaceful and quiet again, as if we had never been there.Cf. in the wake of : close behind, as a result of60.a small manageable domain in a large unmanageable world: Antithesis.domain: territory under one government or ruler.61.but of such incommunicative quirks is the private mind made up: Inversion.The normal order should be: the private mind is made up of such incommunicative quirks.

The word lawns is used metaphorically, meaning wide strips of bluish-green water.75.the sky a tender palette of pink and blue: again nominative absolute construction.A palette is a board on which an artist mixes his paints. Here it is a metaphor,meaning the sky is like a palette of soft pink and blue colours. The adjective tender is a transferred epithet, which actually modifies pink and blue76.You did always lose yourself in the pleasure of words:You were always absorbed by the pleasure of words. You slways enjoyed playing with words so much that you noticed nothing else.Examples with to lose oneself in:1)He lost himself in the book and didn‘t notice the man who had come in.2)The Trojans lost themselves in their celebration, forgetting all about theirenemy.77.Say green as jealousy and be done with it : I suggest you say the light is green asjealousy and then we will finish this game on words.green as jealousy: cf. green with envy, very jealous.
