同学们长假玩的痛快不?新的工作日来临了,我们的又要开始忙碌了。
今天我们要认识以为响当当的人物——詹姆斯•帕金森。大家对他的姓一定不陌生,是的,震颤性麻痹,即帕金森综合症是他的招牌研究项目。此人早期经历很疯狂,也很少有人知道他对地理地质学也有研究~~~

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,然后听写单词或词组(用[-No-]表示)以及句子(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)

Then there was Dr. James Parkinson, who was also an early socialist and author of many provocative pamphlets with titles like “Revolution without Bloodshed.” In 1794, he was [-1-] in a [-2-] lunatic-sounding conspiracy called “the Pop-gun Plot,” in which it was planned to shoot King George III in the neck with a [-3-] dart as he sat in his box at the theater. [---4---] Adopting a more conservative approach to life, he developed an interest in geology and became one of the [-5-] of the Geological Society and the author of an important geological text, Organic Remains of a Former World, [-6-]. He never caused trouble again. Today, however, we remember him for his landmark study of the affliction then called the “shaking palsy,” but known ever since as Parkinson’s disease. ([---7---] In 1785, he became possibly the only person in history to win a natural history museum in a raffle. The museum, in London’s Leicester Square, had been founded by Sir Ashton Lever, who had driven himself bankrupt with his [-8-] collecting of natural wonders. Parkinson kept the museum until 1805, when he could no longer support it and the collection was [-9-] and sold.)

再就是詹姆斯•帕金森博士,他还是早期的社会主义者,写过许多富有鼓动性的小册子,比如《不流血的革命》。1794年,发生了一次听上去有点儿发疯的阴谋,叫做"玩具气枪计划",有人打算趁国王乔治三世在剧院包厢里看戏的机会用带毒的飞镖射中他的脖子。帕金森跟这件事有牵连,被带到枢密院进行盘问,差一点给戴上镣铐发配到澳大利亚。但是,对他的指控后来不了了之。他渐渐对生活采取比较保守的态度,并开始对地质学产生了兴趣,最终成为地质学会的创始人之一和一部重要的地质学作品《上个世界的有机遗骸》的作者。有半个世纪时间,这本书不停地印刷。他再也没有制造过麻烦。然而,今天我们所以记得他,是因为他对一种疾病的具有划时代意义的研究。这种疾病在当时被称之为"震颤性麻痹",但之后一直被叫做帕金森综合征。(帕金森在另一个方面也稍有名气。1785年,他很可能成了历史上独一无二的人,在一次兑奖销售活动中赢得一个自然史博物馆。这家博物馆位于伦敦的莱斯特广场,原本是阿什顿•利弗建立的,但利弗无节制地搜集自然宝物,最后搞得倾家荡产。帕金森将这个博物馆保留到1805年,再也维持不下去,便把收藏品拆卖了。)
