本文记述了作者一次特殊的旅行经历。这不是游山玩水的旅游,而是一次实实在在的生存训练。在常人看来这简直是花钱买罪受。但对于参加者来说,这是一次很有教育意义的超越极限的——超越他们常规的思想境界的旅游活动。原文较长,我们只能摘登其中精彩的部分。

<正> 加速。正是这种加速现象使一级方程式赛车在不到10秒钟的时间里从零加速到275公里/小时。使航天飞机起飞后8分钟,速度猛增到28000公里/小时轨道速度的还是这一加速现象。不过所有加速现象中最令人难以置信的是技术变化的速度。人类花了二百多万年的时间发明了轮子,但用蒸气机驱动轮子大约仅花了五千多年。最初的计算机要整个房间才

<正> 有人说,英语中的新闻 news 一词是由表示方位的北、东、西和南 north、east、west、south 四个词的第一个字母组成的。表面上来看,这似乎有道理。但是,查一查该词的词源就会发现,这种说法纯系杜撰。news 同四个方位词的第一个字母相同,完全是巧合。news 这个词是 new 的复数形式,是仿照古法语词 noveles 构成的。在十五世纪,它表示"消息";十六世纪,表示"新奇的事物"。

<正> 有位教师在课堂里把十七世纪英国哲学家培根的名言"Writing makes anexact man"解释为"写作使人精确",这是不正确的。培根的全句是"Readingmakes a full man;conference a ready man;writing an exact man,"后面接下去的原句是"and therefore,if a man writes little,he need have a great memo-ry."(因此,不作笔记者须记忆力特别强。)根据原作上下文,全句应译成:"读书使人充实,讨论使人机智,笔记使人精确。"
