迈克尔逊说服电话发明者，亚历山大•格雷厄姆•贝尔出资制造他的设备——干涉仪，用来精确地测试光速。迈克尔逊与莫雷合力，经过艰苦的工作测算了光速，结果与他们预期的大不一样，并且动摇了两百年来在物理界占统治地位的牛顿理论。二十年后迈克尔逊拿到了诺贝尔物理学奖，不过这期间事情似乎进展得不太好~~~

书本的朗读语音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好学着模仿哦~~~！！
因为原著为美国人所写,单词采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用写序号。答完一空换行继续下一空作答。文中需听写单词或词组用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。请边听写边理解文意，根据下面的TIPS训练听写。这样可以提高听力准确度，并为训练听译打下基础哦~~~
TIPS听写训练点：单词拼写，时态，单复数，连读，长难句（请边听边用符号先记下内容，然后自己回头组织语句，最后校对，不要逐字逐句听写）

Michelson talked Alexander Graham Bell, newly [-1-] inventor of the telephone, into providing the funds to build an ingenious and sensitive instrument of Michelson's own devising called an interferometer, [---2---]. Then, assisted by the genial but shadowy Morley, Michelson [-3-] years of fastidious measurements. [---4---] They were not at all what the two scientists had expected to find.
As Caltech astrophysicist Kip S. Thorne has written: "[---5---]" It was the first [-6-] in 200 years—in exactly 200 years, in fact—that Newton's laws [-7-]. The Michelson-Morley outcome became, in the words of William H. Cropper, "probably the most famous negative result in the history of physics." [---8---] Meanwhile, the Michelson-Morley experiments would hover unpleasantly, like a musty smell, in the background of scientific thought.

which could measure the velocity of light with great precision
embarked on
The work was delicate and exhausting, and had to be suspended for a time to permit Michelson a brief but comprehensive nervous breakdown, but by 1887 they had their results.
The speed of light turned out to be the same in all directions and at all seasons.

might not apply all the time everywhere
Michelson was awarded a Nobel Prize in physics for the work, the first American so honored, but not for 20 years.
迈克尔逊说服电话的发明者、刚刚发了财的亚历山大•格雷厄姆•贝尔提供资金，制造了一台迈克尔逊自己设计的巧妙而灵敏的仪器，名叫干涉仪，用来非常精确地测定光的速度。接着，在和蔼而又神秘的莫雷的协助下，迈克尔逊进行了几年的精心测量。这是一件非常细致而又很花力气的活儿，迈克尔逊的精神一下子完全垮了，工作不得不中断了一段时间。但是，到1887年，他们有了结果。而且，这个结果完全出乎这两位科学家的意料。
加州理工大学天体物理学家基普•S.索恩写道："结果证明，光的速度在各个方向、各个季节都是一样的。"这是200年来--实际上恰好是200年--出现的第一个迹象，说明牛顿定律也许不是在任何时候、任何地方都适用的。用威廉•H.克罗珀的话来说，迈克尔逊-莫雷结果成为"很可能是物理学史上最负面的结果"。为此，迈克尔逊获得了诺贝尔物理学奖--从而成为获此殊荣的第一位美国人--但要过20年之后。与此同时，迈克尔逊-莫雷实验像一股霉味那样令人不快地浮动在科学家的脑海深处。
