剑15  Test 4 part2 话题解析

今天我们用《用英语讲中国故事》丛书中的一篇关于量子通信的文章来打开“剑15”Test 4 Speaking Section 中的 Part 2话题内容解析。

“ Describe an interesting TV program you watched about a science topic.

You should say:

What science topic that TV program was about

When you saw this TV program

What you learnt from this TV program about a science topic

And explain why you found this TV program interesting.”

这个PART2话题的难度对于考生来说有一定难度，因为它综合了媒体类话题和学科类话题，语料的准备需要至少涉及到两部分内容：一是对电视节目的描述，二是对科学话题的描述。尤其是对科学话题的描述，对于非理工科目的同学来说会比较艰难。

不过，Yoli会在稍后的段落里给大家安利一个不错的素材，素材来自人民出版社出版的《用英语讲中国故事》丛书基础级，这本书的英文翻译者可是来自英国的翻译家保罗.怀特先生，他可是翻译了《习近平谈治国理政》《孔子传》等书籍的翻译家。下面，我们一起来看一下如何用英语讲一个有趣的科学节目吧。

☆ l What science topic that TV program was about 

相信看过漫威电影《蚁人2-黄蜂女》的同学对量子世界都不陌生，我们今天就选取《用英语讲中国故事》基础级之中国成就篇《的中国科技-量子通信Cutting-edge Technology -Quantum communication》这篇文章来谈论目前比较热门的量子通信话题。

PART2要求我们可以持续表述2分钟，我们一般可以把这个2分钟看成4个30秒，也即对TOPIC中的4个提示点分别进行展开叙述，根据提示点需要的信息不同，每个点能够持续说到20-40秒即可。因此，对小问，我们除了要告诉考官Quantum communication这个科学话题，还可以对量子通信进行一定的解释：It is a method of encrypted communication. This technology has grown organically from encrypted messaging, and is virtually unbreakable. （这是一种加密的通信方式。该技术从加密消息技术发展演变而来，这种带着加密信息的密码几乎不能被破解）。所以小段可以这样说：

Ø 语段整合1:

Okay, this topic is regarding an interesting TV program I have watched about a science topic, and the one I’d like to talk about is a TV show about quantum communication, which is a method of encrypted communication. This cutting-edge technology has grown organically from encrypted messaging, and is virtually unbreakable.

☆ l When you saw this TV program

在回答这个提示点时，除了时间，我们还可以简要跟考官介绍一下这是一档什么样的电视节目。由于目前流媒体的兴盛，在一定程度上，我们也可以把这个电视节目播出的平台进行泛化，比如我们可以说是在爱奇艺直播平台上Streaming Video Platform iQiyi看到的一档录制节目叫做“用英语讲中国故事大课堂Stories of China Retold in English”.

Ø 语段整合2：

I still remember when I was in an English-Speaking Content the other day, a great TV program named Stories of China in English was found by me on the streaming video platform iQiyi. Thanks to its abundance of valuable information, my performance went smoothly. It became the best source of information for me at that time, and I have been regularly watching it since then. One day, I was attracted by an episode about an advanced technology called quantum communication.

☆ l What you learnt from this TV program about a science topic

第三问通常是一个2分钟表述内容中的重点段落，需要给出一定的实质性的内容和细节，我们来看下书中如何解释量子通信。

● 中文内容是：为什么量子通信的密码就更安全呢？那是因为光子不可分割，窃听者不可能将光子切成两半，也不可能将光子的信息读取出来再把光子发出去，他要么被发现，要么什么信息都获取不到，所以量子力学可以保证这样的密码不可能被窃听，也不可能被破解。

● 英文内容：How are message sent by quantum encryption safer? It is because particles of light cannot be divided. An eavesdropper cannot divide a particle of light into two parts, nor can a message in a particle of light be read by a third party or transmitted elsewhere. Such a message may be detected, but it cannot be understood. So, quantum physics can protect such secret codes, as they can neither be intercepted nor cracked.

Ø 语段整合3：

Um, regarding what I learnt from this TV program, I should say it is amazing, you know, thanks to the quantum physics, we can protect secret codes, as they can neither be intercepted nor cracked. It is because particles of light cannot be divided. An eavesdropper cannot divide a particle of light into two parts, nor can a message in a particle of light be read by a third party or transmitted elsewhere. Such a message may be detected, but it cannot be understood.

☆ l Why you found this TV program interesting

这一个提示点隐含着一个小的逻辑点“interesting”, 学生需要解释为何你觉得这个节目有趣，此处的逻辑点在于，学生需要明白，不论是对电视节目还是对科学话题的描述，本质上都是对“事实”的描述，而“事实”本身是没有“趣味性”的，“趣味”的产生需要跟什么产生反应呢？一般来说都是跟我们个人的兴趣爱好或者需求方面相符合，才会产生“兴趣点”。所以Yoli 在第二段时就埋入了一个“需求点”，即需要参加一个英文演讲比赛，而这个节目能够提供学习的机会。下面是摘自人民网网页英文版对Stories of China Retold in English 活动的官宣介绍。

● 片段1：The ‘Stories of China Retold in English’ event，in the form of English speeches, will stimulate the creativity and vitality of young people, and show the world a colorful and vibrant China.

用英语讲中国故事比赛，旨在促进年青一代创新和活力，向世界展示一个多彩和生机勃勃的中国。

● 片段2：This activity will not only promote teenagers' understanding of their motherland, but also promote understanding and communication between China and the world.)

这项活动不仅可以加深青少年对祖国的进一步了解，还能够增进中国和世界的理解和交流。

● 片段3：The "Stories of China Retold in English” activity will motivate and guide more young Chinese to boost their cultural confidence and become storytellers, practitioners and spokesmen of Chinese stories, so that Chinese stories can be spread to other parts of the world. 

用英语讲中国故事这个活动将引导更多青少年通过活动提高文化自信，成为中国故事的讲述者、实践者、代言人，将一个个生动的中国故事传播到世界各地

也可以跟个人喜好，比如通过一场漫威电影的观看，点燃了你对量子学领域的兴趣爱好：

Ant-Man & the Wasp deleted scenes add new depth to the film, even hinting that the Quantum Realm could be a far more exciting plane of reality than viewers believed.

In one deleted scene, Janet Van Dyne guides Hank Pym across the Quantum Realm- and reveals that entire civilizations dwell within it.

Ø 语段整合4：

Finally, I should say why I found this program is interesting, and I think, you know, there’s a lot of scientific gobbledygook, which honestly, goes right over my head, but it’s quite fascinating to see how they present it in a way which is understandable somehow, and um, entertaining too.
