Day 2:MindMap
Day 3:
(1)心得:
The first day,看到老師的建議是,閱讀文章大約30min,單詞查閱45min,原以為follow Annie老師的方法可以高效的完成task,however too young too simple,查閱單詞用了3個(gè)小時(shí)左右的時(shí)間。生詞量大于20,但每個(gè)單詞都查閱也不是一個(gè)高效的方法。想摘取英英釋義,改變只看中文意思的思維,All things are difficult before they are easy.接下來(lái)一個(gè)月的訓(xùn)練希望能堅(jiān)持and more carefully學(xué)習(xí),擴(kuò)展詞匯,延伸出更多分支。
The second day,思維導(dǎo)圖的整理也是耗費(fèi)了一下午的腦細(xì)胞,先參考安妮老師的邏輯思維圖,自己嘗試完成作業(yè)后,再借鑒安妮老師的圖,發(fā)現(xiàn)很多細(xì)節(jié)上還是沒(méi)有做到位。在時(shí)間序列內(nèi)容的安排上,自身更注重將科學(xué)家的發(fā)現(xiàn)列入邏輯中,但很多小細(xì)節(jié),實(shí)驗(yàn),并沒(méi)有列舉上去,安妮老師對(duì)the scientific method的整理也更加深入。keep on going
(2)對(duì)《科學(xué)簡(jiǎn)史》的心得
INTRODUCTION部分中,講述了亞里士多德relyed on empirical thoughts and argument,and did no experiments,因此a number od his thoughts were wrong,however nobody douted it.直到伽利略推翻了亞里士多德的想法。緊接著講述科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)的方法,科學(xué)是建立在reasoning,observation and experiments的系統(tǒng)上,逐漸發(fā)展出一系列的理論。Science is an ongoing search fur truth-a perpetual struggle。埃德蒙多·哈雷 Halley, Edmond在1682年發(fā)現(xiàn)彗星,預(yù)測(cè)它的回歸,也正如他所料。盧瑟福的“金箔實(shí)驗(yàn)”提出了原子結(jié)構(gòu)模型,Nicolaus Copernicus哥白尼的日心說(shuō),羅伯特·波義耳(Robert Boyle)的The Sceptical Chemist標(biāo)志著近代化學(xué)的開(kāi)始,達(dá)爾文的重力學(xué)說(shuō),電流,電子……新興物體的發(fā)現(xiàn)伴隨著一個(gè)又一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),前人的理論,后人的disprove。推翻人們long-held思想及其不容易,開(kāi)拓新領(lǐng)域,一步步奠基新時(shí)代的誕生。如今的時(shí)代,DNA克隆,電腦,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的廣泛應(yīng)用,深入研究仍在持續(xù)。但這不是終點(diǎn),誰(shuí)能說(shuō)未來(lái)就只是如今這個(gè)模樣。或許有比互聯(lián)網(wǎng)更厲害的role出現(xiàn),生物學(xué)的發(fā)展可以給人們帶來(lái)更多的希望,或許人們還能重新證明過(guò)去的Theory。正如文章結(jié)尾所說(shuō),It seems likely that there will always be ?more questions than answers,but future discoveries will surely continue to amaze.?
知識(shí)淺薄的我難以徹底領(lǐng)悟科學(xué)的奧妙,現(xiàn)在仍沒(méi)有研讀徹底《科學(xué)簡(jiǎn)史》這篇文章。正如安妮老師所說(shuō)“這類(lèi)文章恰恰是what we need to know, it?talks about our understanding as mankind of the world we live in.如果對(duì)基礎(chǔ)物理世界不了解,你對(duì)抽象的概念也是空中樓閣”。科學(xué)類(lèi)的文章讀來(lái)枯燥,確也是我們極其缺乏的知識(shí)領(lǐng)域。因?yàn)閷?duì)其不感興趣所以對(duì)其避而不見(jiàn),不愿深入精讀。I think we should broaden our eyes.要逃出象牙塔,接受更廣大的世界。
(3)群消息摘抄
Rutherford?scattering 那個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)直線居然穿堂而過(guò),不帶走一片葉子。人們以前以為原子和原子擠擠挨挨地呆在一起,于是Rutherford 用alpha粒子轟金箔,想要判斷粒子穿過(guò)薄薄的金箔原子后的偏離角度,因?yàn)樗苿?dòng)了一下接收alpha例子的熒光板,發(fā)現(xiàn)了原子核的結(jié)構(gòu)。說(shuō)明金箔大多數(shù)地方是空的。
理科不好學(xué)所以學(xué)文去了?所以我們的人文總是這么低迷,因?yàn)榇蠹覞撘庾R(shí)里把它放在智力金字塔的下面,這是完全本末倒置的。如果不喜歡抽象思維、邏輯推理,文科也是學(xué)不好的。為了追求升學(xué)率一手改變了人家的認(rèn)知結(jié)構(gòu)和人生:)
Chinese culturealways wants to jump ahead and transcend from the material body the soul/spiritresides in and explore what is going on in a metaphysical world. But thewestern philosophers descended from celestial considerations to the matter ofmaterial structure over time.我們一路形而上,最后被幾根鴉片壓垮,他們一路形而下,造出了原子彈。
If you see excellence, try?to observe it as closely as possible, you will grow to be like that。
要多用英文的思維方式思考。想達(dá)到這一點(diǎn),第一步:拋棄英漢詞典。用英文思維理解英語(yǔ),而不是靠漢語(yǔ)翻譯。
我覺(jué)得最大的學(xué)習(xí)秘密就是模仿
