<h3><h3>研學第9天。今天我們要游覽的是自然歷史博物館,歐洲最大的自然歷史博物館。有人說,博物館是城市的一面鏡子,是城市的靈魂,它儲存著城市文明的基因,凝聚著城市文化的精髓,凸顯著城市歷史的縱深。</h3><h3>館內(nèi)藏有來自世界各地的7000萬件標本,包括恐龍、各類化石、動植物和地質(zhì)標本。它不僅藏品豐富,從外觀來看,本身也就是座了不起的藝術(shù)品。它是維多利亞式建筑,形似中世紀大教堂,宏大氣派。</h3><h3>由于時間實在有限,我只去了古生物、礦物、動物這幾塊地方。</h3><h3>The 9th day of study. Today we are going to visit the Museum of Natural History, the largest museum of natural history in Europe. Some people say that museums are a mirror of a city and the soul of a city. They store the genes of urban civilization, condense the essence of urban culture and highlight the depth of urban history.</h3><h3>The museum contains 70 million specimens from around the world, including dinosaurs, fossils, animals, plants and geological specimens. It is not only rich in collections, but also a great work of art in its appearance. It is a Victorian architecture, similar to the medieval cathedral, magnificent.</h3><h3>Because of the limited time, I only went to paleontology, minerals and animals.</h3></h3> <h3>走進正門,首先見到的是一幅較為完整的劍龍骨架。這也是迄今為止發(fā)現(xiàn)的最完整的劍龍化石骨架,只丟失了它的左前腿、尾巴的底部和其他一些小骨頭。它于2003年在美國懷俄明州紅峽谷牧場被發(fā)現(xiàn),博物館的科學家們?yōu)榱吮Wo這座極其脆弱的骨架,花了18個月的時間才把它挖出來。因為所有這些骨頭都屬于同一種動物,所以這個標本比以往任何時候都能更好地顯示出劍龍在生活中的樣子。</h3><h3>Entering the main entrance, the first thing I saw was a relatively complete skeleton of the stegosaurus. It is also the most complete skeleton of the stegosaurus found so far, with only its left foreleg, the bottom of its tail and other small bones missing. It was discovered at Red Canyon Ranch in Wyoming in 2003. Museum scientists spent 18 months digging up the extremely fragile skeleton to protect it. Because all of these bones belong to the same animal, this specimen is better than ever to show what the stegosaurus looked like in life.</h3> <h3>一抬頭,見到的是一座扶梯伸入一個大地球(模型)中,應(yīng)該是暗示我們將進入關(guān)于地下的展覽。</h3><h3>As soon as I look up, you will see an escalator plunging into a large earth (model), which should indicate that we are going to enter an exhibition about the underground.</h3> <h3>走出電梯,我們進入了火山板塊。對許多人來說,火山爆發(fā)帶來恐懼、死亡和毀滅,改變了生活和文明的進程。對其他人來說,它也可以激發(fā)藝術(shù)、宗教和科學。在世界的某些地方,火山爆發(fā)是一個持續(xù)的威脅,但在英國,火山已經(jīng)有5500萬年沒有爆發(fā)過了。</h3><h3>并非所有的火山都是一樣的。通過在世界各地對它們的研究,科學家們知道,有些火山爆發(fā)劇烈且具有爆炸性,而另一些火山爆發(fā)則是緩慢流動的。兩者都能讓我們感受到我們腳下的巨大力量,并且塑造我們星球不斷變化的面貌。</h3><h3>Out of the elevator, we entered the volcanic plate. For many people, volcanic eruptions bring fear, death and destruction, and change the course of life and civilization. For others, it can also inspire art, religion and science. Volcanic eruptions are a constant threat in some parts of the world, but in Britain they have not erupted for 55 million years.</h3><h3>Not all volcanoes are the same. By studying them around the world, scientists know that some volcanoes erupt violently and explosively, while others flow slowly. Both can give us a sense of the enormous power at our feet and shape the changing face of our planet.</h3><h3></h3> <h3></h3><h3>這里介紹了一些關(guān)于火山的知識,比如噴發(fā):火山是地殼中的一個開口,在那里巖漿(一種熾熱的熔融巖石、晶體和氣體的混合物)噴發(fā)到地表。有時巖漿會更安靜地噴發(fā)出美麗的熔巖流。</h3><h3>同時也有介紹一些典型例子,比如太平洋夏威夷群島,它們是從海底升起的巨大盾形火山的頂端。</h3><h3>比如基拉韋厄火山,它是噴涌噴發(fā)型,以美麗的熔巖流而聞名。又或是莫納羅亞火山,它是地球上最大的火山之一。</h3><h3>由于夏威夷群島比較孤立,所以有著獨特的動植物。比如涅涅鵝的腳特別擅長在尖銳的熔巖上行走。</h3><h3>Here is some knowledge about volcanoes, such as eruptions: volcanoes are an opening in the crust where magma (a mixture of hot molten rock, crystals and gases) erupts to the surface. Sometimes magma emits beautiful lava flows more quietly.</h3><h3>Typical examples are also presented, such as the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, which are the tops of giant shield volcanoes rising from the ocean floor.</h3><h3>Kilauea, for example, is an eruptive volcano known for its beautiful lava flows. Or Monaroa, one of the largest volcanoes on Earth.</h3><h3>Because the Hawaiian Islands are relatively isolated, they have unique flora and fauna. For example, the feet of the Nene goose are particularly good at walking on sharp lava.</h3> <h3>這是白云巖侵入。當巖漿通過這片粉紅色的花崗巖時,它把它一分為二。然后,當富含鐵和鎂的熔融巖石冷卻后,形成了深色的白云巖。</h3><h3>This is dolomite intrusion. When magma passes through the pink granite, it divides it into two parts. Then, when the molten rock rich in iron and magnesium cooled, dark dolomite was formed.</h3> <h3>這是一種熔巖,它的形成是由于熔巖流的表面冷卻和硬化,而內(nèi)部繼續(xù)流動,將其破碎成尖角形狀。</h3><h3>This is a kind of lava, which is formed by the cooling and hardening of the surface of the lava flow, while the internal flow continues, breaking it into a sharp shape.</h3> <h3>這種美麗的材料被稱為貝利的頭發(fā),當微小的巖漿被拋向空中,被風吹向火山玻璃時,就會形成金絲。</h3><h3>This beautiful material is called Bailey's hair. When tiny magma is thrown into the air and blown into volcanic glass by the wind, it forms gold filaments.</h3> <h3>這個是帕霍霍熔巖。巖漿順著火山流下,當表面開始冷卻和凝固時,下面的熔巖繼續(xù)流動,便形成了褶皺的外觀。</h3><h3>This is Pahoehoe lava. As the magma flows down the volcano and the surface begins to cool and solidify, the lava below continues to flow, forming the appearance of folds.</h3> <h3>還有一些火山礦物。</h3><h3>There are also some volcanic minerals.</h3> <h3>這根長得像煙囪的東西是從太平洋下2200米處取來的。火山噴發(fā)時,過熱的水流過這根管子,在流動的過程中沉積礦物質(zhì),就形成了它。</h3><h3>This chimney-like object was taken from 2,200 metres below the Pacific Ocean. When a volcano erupts, superheated water flows through the pipe, depositing minerals during the flow, forming it.</h3> <h3>這是個鼻涕蟲頭骨。這只滅絕的動物,大約有一只狗那么大,生活在2.3億年前,在現(xiàn)在的南美和南非的陸地上漫游。因為它不可能在大洋中游泳,所以它的化石是這些地區(qū)曾經(jīng)有聯(lián)系的證據(jù)。</h3><h3>This is a slug skull. The extinct animal, about the size of a dog, lived 230 million years ago and roamed the land of present-day South America and South Africa. Because it is impossible to swim in the ocean, its fossils are evidence that these areas were once connected.</h3> <h3>這是個雪花石膏塔。它是德文郡公爵在1851年博物館開幕時贈送給實用地質(zhì)學博物館,現(xiàn)在是地球畫廊。</h3><h3>這個雪花石膏,最初來自斯塔福德郡的福爾德,1840-1849年由當時主要的石匠約瑟夫·霍爾雕刻而成。</h3><h3>This is an alabaster tower. It was presented to the Museum of Applied Geology by the Duke of Devonshire at the opening of the Museum in 1851 and is now the Earth Gallery.</h3><h3>The snowflake gypsum, originally from Ford, Staffordshire, was carved in 1840-1849 by Joseph Hall, the then main mason.</h3> <h3>再往前走,是地震展區(qū)。這里介紹了有關(guān)地震的知識,展示了一些地震地真實案例以及一些儀器和一些減少損失的技巧。</h3><h3>(介紹部分,可跳過)地震可以毫無預兆地發(fā)生,造成大規(guī)模的死亡和破壞。當?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時,我們會感到地面突然劇烈的震動,但它們是由地球表面緩慢移動的板塊引起的。隨著這些板塊的移動,壓力逐漸增大。</h3><h3>縱觀歷史,地震摧毀了世界各地的許多建筑,奪走了許多生命。但科學的發(fā)展可以幫助我們?yōu)槲磥淼牡卣鹱龊脺蕚?,并限制它們造成的損害。</h3><h3>Further on, it's the earthquake exhibition area. This paper introduces the knowledge of earthquakes, shows some real cases of earthquakes, some instruments and some techniques to reduce losses.</h3><h3>Earthquakes can occur without warning, causing large-scale death and destruction. When earthquakes occur, we will feel sudden and violent ground shaking, but they are caused by slow moving plates on the earth's surface. With the movement of these plates, the pressure increases gradually.</h3><h3>Throughout history, earthquakes have destroyed many buildings around the world and claimed many lives. But scientific developments can help us prepare for future earthquakes and limit their damage.</h3> <h3>張衡地動儀(模型)</h3><h3>Zhang Heng Geodetic Instrument (Model)</h3> <h3>世界上的風、水和冰流將大量的物質(zhì)從侵蝕點運送到沉積點。這一塊區(qū)域主要介紹了材料是如何移動的,以及在運輸途中發(fā)生了什么。</h3><h3>Wind, water and ice currents in the world transport a large amount of material from erosion sites to sedimentary sites. This area mainly describes how materials move and what happens in transit.</h3> <h3>這個例子展示了冰有破碎巖石的能力。當水結(jié)冰時會膨脹。當冰結(jié)晶時,這種膨脹會施加足夠大的力使巖石爆裂,或者隨著時間的推移,使山脈崩塌。</h3><h3>This example demonstrates the ability of ice to break rocks. Water expands when it freezes. When ice crystallizes, this expansion exerts enough force to cause rock to burst or, over time, mountains to collapse.</h3> <h3>這個例子則展示了鹽有分裂巖石的能力。當鹽從滲入巖石的水中結(jié)晶出來時,它們就會膨脹,就像冰一樣。它們的膨脹力使巖石產(chǎn)生應(yīng)力并裂開。</h3><h3>This example demonstrates the ability of salt to split rocks. When salt crystallizes from water that seeps into rocks, it expands like ice. Their expansive force causes stress and cracks in rocks.</h3> <h3>這是一段石灰石路面,由裸露的巖石組成的平坦的路面,被分成平頂?shù)男逼聟^(qū),這些斜坡區(qū)被稱為“沙礫”的深溝相互分隔。</h3><h3>在上一個冰河時期,冰川沖刷了石灰?guī)r上的土壤和植物,使其暴露在化學侵蝕之下。酸性雨水從平坦的表面流下,沿著巖石的接縫流下,把它們變成了沙礫。</h3><h3>石灰?guī)r路面是一個獨特的自然棲息地,需要數(shù)千年的時間才能形成。</h3><h3>不幸的是,切割和移除巖石所需的時間要少得多,而這正是對花園假山的巨大需求。如今,保護這些棲息地變得越來越有必要。</h3><h3>This is a limestone road, a flat surface of bare rock, divided into flat-topped slopes, which are called "gravel" deep ditches separated from each other.</h3><h3>During the last glacial period, glaciers washed away soil and plants on limestone and exposed them to chemical erosion. Acidic rainwater flows down flat surfaces and along joints in rocks, turning them into gravel.</h3><h3>Limestone pavement is a unique natural habitat that takes thousands of years to form.</h3><h3>Unfortunately, cutting and removing rocks takes much less time, which is a huge demand for garden rockeries. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more necessary to protect these habitats.</h3> <h3>這里還以小游戲的方式,來形象地告訴游客巖石是如何變化的,拉動開關(guān),小球滾落,根據(jù)你的不同選擇生成對應(yīng)巖石,讓游客易于接受理解。</h3><h3>Here is also a small game to vividly tell tourists how the rocks change, pull the switch, the ball rolls down, according to your different choices to generate the corresponding rocks, so that tourists can easily accept and understand.</h3> <h3>往下走,我們進入了化石館,這里展覽的是一系列化石,有海洋生物,也有陸地生物。</h3><h3>Down, we entered the fossil museum, where a series of fossils, including marine and terrestrial life, were exhibited.</h3> <h3>(這是一具不知名化石)在陸地上進化之后,一些爬行動物回到了海洋。海洋爬行動物要么生下幼崽,要么在陸地上產(chǎn)卵。它們的卵不能在水中生存,因為胚胎需要氧氣。大多數(shù)大型海洋爬行動物在6500萬年前滅絕,只留下海龜和鱷魚仍然生活在今天。</h3><h3>(This is an unknown fossil) After evolution on land, some reptiles returned to the ocean. Marine reptiles either give birth to young or lay eggs on land. Their eggs cannot survive in water because the embryos need oxygen. Most large marine reptiles died out 65 million years ago, leaving only turtles and crocodiles alive today.</h3> <h3>這是我們下方的地球大廳里的劍龍化石的復制品,用來幫助科學家研究劍龍。這只劍龍的皮膚里嵌著19塊骨質(zhì)的背板。板塊可能有助于劍龍物種互相識別,或者警告捕食者。它們也可能被彩色或有紋理的角蛋白覆蓋。在這塊鋼板上標記血管位置的微小凹槽表明,它們可能也有助于通過熱傳遞來控制劍龍的體溫。</h3><h3>This is a replica of the stegosaurus fossil in the Earth Hall below us, which is used to help scientists study stegosaurus. The Stegosaurus had 19 bony backplates embedded in its skin. Plates may help the stegosaurus species identify each other, or warn predators. They may also be covered by colored or textured keratins. The tiny grooves marking the position of blood vessels on the plate suggest that they may also help to control the temperature of the stegosaurus through heat transfer.</h3> <h3>這是一些非凡的水晶,它們是天然的,盡管它們看起來更像現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)作品。它們是礦物黃鐵礦的結(jié)晶體,通常被稱為“傻瓜金”。如今,大多數(shù)硫鐵礦都用來生產(chǎn)硫酸,這是一種工業(yè)上廣泛使用的化學品。</h3><h3>These are some extraordinary crystals. They are natural, although they look more like modern works of art. They are crystals of the mineral pyrite, commonly known as "fool gold". Nowadays, most pyrites are used to produce sulfuric acid, which is a widely used chemical in industry.</h3> <h3>一些礦物展覽</h3><h3>1是立方系統(tǒng)。方鉛礦與螢石紫立方晶體的復合灰色立方晶體</h3><h3>2是六角形系統(tǒng)。淺藍色六方綠柱石晶體群,發(fā)現(xiàn)于Salinas,Minas Gerais,巴西</h3><h3>3是三角系統(tǒng)。白云石灰色晶體,發(fā)現(xiàn)于西班牙納瓦拉尤古伊</h3><h3>4是四方系統(tǒng)。黑綠色維蘇威巖-雅庫茨卡雅晶體,發(fā)現(xiàn)于俄羅斯西伯利亞。</h3><h3>5是正交系統(tǒng)。白云石莫布雷礦重晶石板狀晶體,發(fā)現(xiàn)于英國坎布里亞弗里辛頓。</h3><h3>6是單斜系。深藍藍藍銅礦水晶Chessy,發(fā)現(xiàn)于法國羅納里昂</h3><h3>7是三臨床系統(tǒng)。棕色透明晶體,發(fā)現(xiàn)于法國伊賽。</h3><h3>Some mineral exhibitions</h3><h3>1 is a cubic system. Composite grey cubic crystals of galena and fluorite violet cubic crystals</h3><h3>2 is a hexagonal system. Light blue hexagonal beryl crystal group, found in Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil</h3><h3>3 is a triangular system. Grey dolomite crystal, found in Navarroyougoi, Spain</h3><h3>4 is a quadrilateral system. Black-green Vesuvian-Yakutskaya crystal, found in Siberia, Russia.</h3><h3>5 is an orthogonal system. Dolomite mobreite barite slab crystal, found in Cambria Freesington, England.</h3><h3>6 is monoclinic system. Deep Blue Blue Blue Copper Crystal Chessy, Discovered in Ronald Lyon, France</h3><h3>7. Three clinical systems. Brown transparent crystal, found in Isai, France.</h3> <h3>右側(cè)是一些精美的礦物,它們應(yīng)該是人工打造的,有著不同的紋理,色彩鮮艷,在燈光的映照下閃閃發(fā)光。</h3><h3>On the right are some exquisite minerals, which should be artificially made, with different textures, bright colors, shining under the light.</h3> <h3>這是一塊奇妙的石頭,我們能從中看到一些“十字架”,但他們真的是這么多個嗎?我們從另一邊看,發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一個十字架,刻在水晶的背面。但穿過晶體的光線被分成兩部分。一束光線直接穿過,另一束光線被折射走另一條路徑。它們呈現(xiàn)出兩幅圖像。正是這種礦物的特殊內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)使光以這種不尋常的方式活動。</h3><h3>這便是方解石——一種“冰島晶石”的大晶體,因其尺寸和缺陷而引人注目,這塊發(fā)現(xiàn)于冰島雷亞德法約爾。</h3><h3>It's a wonderful stone. We can see some "crosses" from it, but are they really so many? Looking from the other side, we found that there was only one cross carved on the back of the crystal. But the light passing through the crystal is divided into two parts. One beam of light passes through directly, and the other is refracted along another path. They present two images. It is the special internal structure of this mineral that makes light move in this unusual way.</h3><h3>This is calcite, a large crystal of "Icelandic Crystal", which attracts attention because of its size and defects. This one was found in Reyad Fayol, Iceland.</h3> <h3>下了樓,我們進入藍區(qū),這里主要有一些大魷魚,大藍鯨,恐龍之類的化石(或標本)。</h3><h3>這里展出的標本特別多,都栩栩如生,讓人仿佛置身于大自然之中。展品都按照綱、目、科、屬、種分類展出,體現(xiàn)出博物館的擺放的展品的嚴謹。每個標本都是活靈活現(xiàn),抓住了動物最為生動活潑的那一瞬。</h3><h3>Downstairs, we enter the Blue Zone, where there are some large squid, blue whale, dinosaurs and other fossils (or specimens).</h3><h3>There are many specimens on display here. They are very vivid and make people feel as if they are in nature. Exhibits are classified according to outline, order, family, genus and species, reflecting the rigorous display of exhibits in the museum. Each specimen is vivid, capturing the most vivid animal moment.</h3> <h3>這是一種已滅絕的哺乳動物:大地懶</h3><h3>這種巨大的地面樹懶生活在南美洲涼爽、干燥的灌木叢和草原上,直到大約10000年前。乍一看,它的骨骼常常被誤認為是恐龍的,但是巨大的地面樹懶實際上是一種哺乳動物,一種已經(jīng)滅絕的活樹懶的近親。它的學名,megatherium,意思是“大動物”。</h3><h3>最近在阿根廷發(fā)現(xiàn)的腳印表明,它走在像墊子一樣的后腳上,尾巴從地上抬起。由于巨大的地面樹懶沒有其他天敵,故它的滅絕似乎與人類首次來到南美有關(guān)。</h3><h3>This is an extinct mammal: lazy earth</h3><h3>The giant ground sloth lived in the cool, dry shrubs and grasslands of South America until about 10,000 years ago. At first glance, its bones are often mistaken for dinosaurs, but the giant ground sloth is actually a mammal, a close relative of the extinct living sloth. Its scientific name, megatherium, means "big animal".</h3><h3>A recent footprint found in Argentina shows that it walks on a cushion-like hind foot with its tail lifted from the ground. Since the giant ground sloth has no other natural enemies, its extinction seems to be related to the first human arrival in South America.</h3> <h3>這是一個非常多種類的鳥類展覽,所有鳥都密集且規(guī)律的分布著。第一眼望去好像百鳥爭鳴的場面,令人感到震撼。</h3><h3>This is an exhibition of many kinds of birds, all of which are densely and regularly distributed. At first glance, it was shocking to see the scene of birds contending.</h3> <h3>這是一個機械裝置,蝎子會有一些小活動,以此來給游客展示蝎子的運動狀態(tài)。</h3><h3>This is a mechanical device, scorpions will have some small activities, in order to show tourists the movement of scorpions.</h3> <h3>走進博物館的大廳,這里擺放著一個巨型的恐龍骨架,大約有3、4層樓那么高。大廳兩側(cè)布滿了由羅馬式的拱門和廊柱構(gòu)成的走廊,在昏黃燈光的映襯下,顯得特別神秘,仿佛我們正處在一座神秘的宮殿中。</h3><h3>Walking into the hall of the museum, there is a huge dinosaur skeleton, about three or four stories high. The hall is lined with corridors made up of Roman arches and porches. Against the backdrop of dim lights, it looks very mysterious, as if we are in a mysterious palace.</h3> <h3>這是一具長鼻象標本。大象是今天唯一活著的長鼻象。數(shù)百萬年前,這個群體中還有更多的動物——比如生活在英國南部冰凍荒地的長毛猛犸象。</h3><h3>This is a specimen of a long-nosed elephant. Elephants are the only long-nosed elephants alive today. Millions of years ago, there were more animals in this group, such as woolly mammoths living in the frozen wastelands of southern England.</h3> <h3>這應(yīng)該是一具藍鯨模型,按真實比例做縮小處理。但還是非常龐大,鏡頭視野幾乎無法容下,讓人感到無比震撼。</h3><h3>This should be a blue whale model, scaled down in real proportion. But it is still very large, the lens field of vision is almost impossible to accommodate, people feel extremely shocked.</h3> <h3>這里還有一些展板,以圖文并茂的形式來使游客更了解這些動物。</h3><h3>There are also some exhibition boards in the form of pictures and texts to make tourists know more about these animals.</h3> <h3>午餐。</h3><h3>Lunch</h3> <h3>接下來由于時間不足,所以我們便離開了博物館。</h3><h3>Then we left the museum because of lack of time.</h3> <h3>下午,到了一周的分班時間,我們需要重新分班。</h3><h3>今天的上課內(nèi)容與中國的教學方式有比上一周更多的相似。通過做一些題目(好像比上周更多了)來學習一些知識,但是引入問題的方式更富有一些趣味。</h3><h3>In the afternoon, when it comes to a week's shift time, we need to re-shift.</h3><h3>Today's lecture content is more similar to that of the previous week in China. Learn some knowledge by doing some questions (as if more than last week), but the way of introducing questions is more interesting.</h3> <h3>晚上,又是令大家愉快的自由活動時間。可能是因為附近有大商場的緣故,附近的人特別多,各個國家,各種膚色。但似乎只有一條路上人比較多。在商場背后,人流減小,夜晚的這里車輛稀少,酒吧里有許多人在喝酒聊天,有的人在街角站著就開始邊喝邊聊,他們并不趕時間,一個小時一瓶酒都喝不完,他們似乎是來聊天的,而不是喝酒的。</h3><h3>In the evening, it is also a pleasant free time for everyone. Maybe it's because there's a big shopping mall nearby. There are a lot of people in the vicinity, all countries, all kinds of skin color. But there seems to be only one road with more people. Behind the mall, there are fewer people, fewer cars at night, many people in the bar are drinking and chatting, and some people are standing on the street corner to start drinking and chatting. They are not in a hurry. They can't finish drinking a bottle of wine in an hour. They seem to be chatting, not drinking.</h3> <h3>研學第十天。今天我們要前往倫敦的科學博物館。這已經(jīng)是我們?nèi)ミ^的第三個博物館了,不過在有“博物館之都”的倫敦,這也不奇怪了。</h3><h3>Tenth day of study. Today we are going to the Science Museum in London. This is the third Museum we've ever visited, but it's not surprising that London has the "Museum Capital".</h3> <h3>倫敦科學博物館,是英國國立科學與工業(yè)博物館的一部分,創(chuàng)建于1857年,保存并陳列有關(guān)在自然科學技術(shù)發(fā)展史上據(jù)有意義和對現(xiàn)代科技研究和探索也具有意義的實物。</h3><h3>科學博物館的展覽分為幾個不同的主題,散布在三層樓的展廳里這些主題分別是:能量廳、現(xiàn)代世界、探索太空、鐘表巨匠、飛行以及材料學。從大門一進來,首先迎接我們的是英國工業(yè)革命時的蒸汽機。它的外觀讓我聯(lián)想到現(xiàn)在的發(fā)動機,讓人有一種時代變遷之感。</h3><h3>The London Museum of Science, a part of the National Museum of Science and Industry, was founded in 1857 to preserve and display objects of significance in the history of natural science and technology, as well as in the research and exploration of modern science and technology.</h3><h3>The exhibition of the Science Museum is divided into several different themes, which are scattered in the three-storey exhibition hall: Energy Hall, Modern World, Exploration of Space, Masters of Clocks and Watches, Flight and Material Science. As soon as we enter the gate, we are first greeted by the steam engines of the British Industrial Revolution. Its appearance reminds me of the present engine, which gives people a sense of change of the times.</h3> <h3>這是一個水管鍋爐的模型,亞瑟·伍爾夫首創(chuàng)(1819年)的為他的復合式發(fā)動機提供高壓蒸汽的設(shè)計。這種鍋爐是由J?E霍爾制造的,他也建造了發(fā)動機。今天發(fā)電廠仍在使用水管鍋爐。</h3><h3>This is a model of a water-pipe boiler, pioneered by Arthur Woolf (1819) to provide high-pressure steam for his composite engine. The boiler was made by J. E. Hall, who also built the engine. Water-pipe boilers are still in use in power plants today.</h3> <h3>這是一臺梁式發(fā)動機,1808年發(fā)明。利茲的馬修·默里,在1805年開發(fā)了這種獨立的光束引擎。還有側(cè)桿發(fā)動機,更輕,更緊湊,非常適合在船舶上使用。這個模型是由德比的詹姆斯·??怂菇ㄔ斓?。</h3><h3>This is a beam engine, invented in 1808. Matthew Murray of Leeds developed this independent beam engine in 1805. There are side rod engines, lighter, more compact, very suitable for use on ships. The model was built by James Fox of Derby.</h3> <h3>臥式發(fā)動機,約1898年誕生。</h3><h3>這個模型展示了到19世紀末蒸汽動力在世界各地的傳播程度,它是印度加爾各答一家黃麻廠的發(fā)動機,由約翰·穆斯格雷夫和博爾頓的兒子于1898年制造的。</h3><h3>Horizontal engines were born around 1898.</h3><h3>This model shows how steam power spread around the world by the end of the 19th century. It was the engine of a jute factory in Calcutta, India, built in 1898 by the sons of John Musgrave and Bolton.</h3> <h3>羅比下降閥發(fā)動機</h3><h3>下降閥蒸汽機是一種最有效的往復式發(fā)動機設(shè)計,它是在英國發(fā)展起來的,林肯的羅比成為其主要制造商之一。這個模型代表了由羅比制造的全尺寸發(fā)動機,由羅比的車間領(lǐng)班制造。</h3><h3>Robbie Descent Valve Engine</h3><h3>Down-valve steam engine is one of the most effective reciprocating engine designs. It was developed in the UK and Robbie Lincoln became one of its major manufacturers. This model represents a full-scale engine made by Robbie and made by Robbie's workshop leader.</h3> <h3>戴維的原版安全燈,1816年</h3><h3>18世紀的礦工們在明火的照耀下工作。這使他們面臨著甲烷爆炸的危險。1812年費林煤礦發(fā)生了一次92人死亡的爆炸,人們便呼吁采用更安全的礦井照明方式。</h3><h3>漢弗萊·戴維爵士設(shè)計了一種燈籠,在這種燈籠中,火焰被一層金屬絲網(wǎng)包裹,防止了沼氣的燃燒。1816年在赫本煤礦成功地測試了兩個顯示燈中的一個,于是戴維燈在深部礦井被廣泛應(yīng)用。</h3><h3>David's original safety light, 1816</h3><h3>Miners in the 18th century worked under the light of open fire. This puts them at risk of methane explosion. In 1812, an explosion killed 92 people in Feilin Coal Mine, and people called for safer mine lighting.</h3><h3>Sir Humphrey David designed a lantern in which the flame was wrapped in a wire mesh to prevent the combustion of biogas. In 1816, one of the two display lights was successfully tested in Hepburn Coal Mine, so the David Lamp was widely used in deep mines.</h3> <h3>李斯特顯微鏡,它的重要性在于物鏡的高質(zhì)量,從中畸變和變色效應(yīng)被消除到比以往任何時候都大的程度。它是由約瑟夫·杰克遜·李斯特于1826年設(shè)計的,由光學儀器制造商詹姆斯·史密斯制造。</h3><h3>由于李斯特的工作,復合顯微鏡成為一種重要的研究儀器。</h3><h3>Liszt microscopy, whose importance lies in the high quality of the objective lens, eliminates distortion and discoloration to a greater extent than ever before.
