今天我们要继续接触一下被无名的卡尔•金勒，他做实验很投入，甚至只相信自己的舌头，很多有毒物质都会去尝一下！最终，他的死也摆脱不了这个原因。但不管怎么样我们应该向这样默默无闻却又彪悍牛逼的科学家致敬。幸亏因为本书的作者，后人还是读到了这位了不起的药剂师。在详细介绍他那些种种被埋没的发现的同时，我们会听到很多我们耳熟能详的科学家，有约瑟夫•普里斯特利（猫王的那个我熟），汉弗莱•戴维（化学书上看照片比较帅）和欧文•薛定谔（他的公式很难记）~~~

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）
Hints:
stun
acclaim
oxygen
Scheele
chlorine
Scheele's one notable shortcoming was a curious insistence on tasting a little of everything he worked with, including such notoriously [-1-] substances as mercury, prussic acid (another of his discoveries), and hydrocyanic acid—a compound so famously poisonous that 150 years later Erwin Schrödinger chose it as his toxin of choice in a famous thought experiment (see page 146). Scheele's rashness eventually [-2-] him. [---3---]
[---4---] Instead credit has tended to lodge with more celebrated chemists, mostly from the English-speaking world. [---5---] Instead credit went to Joseph Priestley, who discovered the same element independently, but latterly, in the summer of 1774. [---6---] Nearly all textbooks still [-7-] chlorine's discovery to Humphry Davy, who did indeed find it, but 36 years after Scheele had.

caught up with
In 1786, aged just 43, he was found dead at his workbench surrounded by an array of toxic chemicals, any one of which could have accounted for the stunned and terminal look on his face.
Were the world just and Swedish-speaking, Scheele would have enjoyed universal acclaim.
Scheele discovered oxygen in 1772, but for various heartbreakingly complicated reasons could not get his paper published in a timely manner.
Even more remarkable was Scheele's failure to receive credit for the discovery of chlorine.

金勒有个明显的缺点，他对做试验用的什么东西都感到好奇，坚持要尝一点儿，包括一些又难闻又有毒的物质，比如汞、氢氰酸（这也是他的一项发现）和甲腈。甲腈是一种有名的有毒化合物，150年以后，欧文•薛定谔在一次著名的思维实验中选它作为最佳毒素。金勒鲁莽的工作方法最后断送了他的性命。1786年，才43岁的他被发现死在工作台旁，身边堆满了有毒的化学品，其中任何一种都可以造成他脸上那目瞪口呆的最后一个表情。
要是这世界是公正的话，要是大家都会说瑞典语的话，金勒本来会在全世界享有盛誉。实际上，赞扬声往往都给了更有名的化学家，其中大多数是英语国家的化学家。金勒在1772年发现了氧，但由于种种辛酸而复杂的原因，无法及时发表他的论文。功劳最终归给了约瑟夫•普里斯特利，他独立发现了同一个元素，但时间要晚，是在1774年的夏天。更令人瞩目的是，金勒没有得到发现氯的功劳。几乎所有的教科书现在仍把氯的发现归功于汉弗莱•戴维。他确实发现了，但要比金勒晚36年。
