今天我們要繼續(xù)接觸一下被無名的卡爾?金勒,他做實驗很投入,甚至只相信自己的舌頭,很多有毒物質都會去嘗一下!最終,他的死也擺脫不了這個原因。但不管怎么樣我們應該向這樣默默無聞卻又彪悍牛逼的科學家致敬。幸虧因為本書的作者,后人還是讀到了這位了不起的藥劑師。在詳細介紹他那些種種被埋沒的發(fā)現的同時,我們會聽到很多我們耳熟能詳的科學家,有約瑟夫?普里斯特利(貓王的那個我熟),漢弗萊?戴維(化學書上看照片比較帥)和歐文?薛定諤(他的公式很難記)~~~

書本的朗讀語音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好學著模仿哦~~~?。?
因為原著為美國人所寫,單詞采用美式拼法,不抄全文,也不用寫序號。答完一空換行繼續(xù)下一空作答。文中需聽寫單詞或詞組用[-No-]表示,句子用[---No---]表示。請邊聽寫邊理解文意,根據下面的TIPS訓練聽寫。這樣可以提高聽力準確度,并為訓練聽譯打下基礎哦~~~
TIPS聽寫訓練點:單詞拼寫,時態(tài),單復數,連讀,長難句(請邊聽邊用符號先記下內容,然后自己回頭組織語句,最后校對,不要逐字逐句聽寫)
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 Schr?dinger chose it as his toxin of choice in a famous thought experiment (see page 146). Scheele's rashness eventually [-2-] him. [---3---]

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.

金勒有個明顯的缺點,他對做試驗用的什么東西都感到好奇,堅持要嘗一點兒,包括一些又難聞又有毒的物質,比如汞、氫氰酸(這也是他的一項發(fā)現)和甲腈。甲腈是一種有名的有毒化合物,150年以后,歐文?薛定諤在一次著名的思維實驗中選它作為最佳毒素。金勒魯莽的工作方法最后斷送了他的性命。1786年,才43歲的他被發(fā)現死在工作臺旁,身邊堆滿了有毒的化學品,其中任何一種都可以造成他臉上那目瞪口呆的最后一個表情。
要是這世界是公正的話,要是大家都會說瑞典語的話,金勒本來會在全世界享有盛譽。實際上,贊揚聲往往都給了更有名的化學家,其中大多數是英語國家的化學家。金勒在1772年發(fā)現了氧,但由于種種辛酸而復雜的原因,無法及時發(fā)表他的論文。功勞最終歸給了約瑟夫?普里斯特利,他獨立發(fā)現了同一個元素,但時間要晚,是在1774年的夏天。更令人矚目的是,金勒沒有得到發(fā)現氯的功勞。幾乎所有的教科書現在仍把氯的發(fā)現歸功于漢弗萊?戴維。他確實發(fā)現了,但要比金勒晚36年。
