Topics
Ana Mateo: 我在节目中讨论了与食物相关的词汇,特别是"dish"这个词。它既可以指盛放食物的容器,也可以指一道菜,甚至可以用来形容一个好看的人。此外,"dish"作为动词,可以指谈论私人信息或八卦。有些人喜欢批评别人,但自己却受不了同样的对待。 Brian Lynn: 我介绍了纽约市的帝国大厦,这座建筑建成于大萧条时期,以其惊人的高度和速度而闻名。它现在是纽约市最受欢迎的旅游景点之一,每年吸引数百万游客。 Jill Robbins: 在今天的课程中,我们学习了英语中的否定前缀,例如"un-", "dis-", "im-", "il-"和"ir-"。这些前缀可以改变单词的含义,使之成为相反的意思。我们还通过一个关于虚假广告的故事,讲解了这些前缀的用法。 Andrew Smith: 我和Jill一起讲解了否定前缀的用法和含义,并解释了英语中这些前缀变化的原因,以及它们在不同单词中的应用。我们还讨论了英语单词的来源和演变。 科学家: 我们可能已经找到了火星呈现红色的原因——一种叫做水合铁氧化物的矿物。这种矿物的发现也为火星过去可能存在液态水提供了更多证据,这对于研究火星上是否存在生命至关重要。 Valentinus: 火星为什么是红色的谜团已经存在了数百年甚至数千年。我们的研究首次通过观测数据和实验室方法证明了水合铁氧化物的存在,这为未来的研究打开了大门。 John Mustard: 虽然这项研究令人兴奋,但我们需要更多研究来验证我们的发现。只有通过NASA的毅力号火星车收集的样本才能最终验证我们的水合铁氧化物理论。 Pete: 我向Anna推荐了我的产品"Hair Be Good",声称它能解决她的头发问题。 Amelia: 我告诉Anna,她的头发看起来很糟糕,"Hair Be Good"并没有像广告中说的那样有效。
