Welcome back to another lesson with us here at EnglishPod.

歡迎回到 EnglishPod 的另一堂課。

And today we're going to be talking about physics.

That's right, an advanced lesson for, um, all you physics lovers out there, and

沒錯，這是一堂給所有熱愛物理學的你們的進階課程，

even for those of you who maybe don't love physics so much.

也適合那些可能不是那麼熱愛物理學的你們。

這裡面還是有很多很棒的說法。

We're going to be talking about the Big Bang Theory, a very popular theory of how the universe, or the world,

我們今天要來聊聊大爆炸理論，一個關於宇宙或世界如何形成的非常流行的理論，

以及我們是如何被創造出來的。

所以我們有一些物理學的術語，

but we've also got some really, um, tough words that I bet many of our users have never seen before, which we're going to look at those, um, in this lesson.

但也有一些很難的詞，我敢打賭很多用戶以前從沒見過，我們會在今天的課程裡好好認識它們。

All right, so why don't we get started with this great and interesting lesson,

好的，那我們就開始這堂很棒又有趣的課程吧，

and let's listen to the dialogue for the first time.

It's all math, really: arcs, curves, velocity.

其實都是數學：弧線、曲線、速度。

But today's lesson was all about the creation of the universe.

不過今天的課是講宇宙的誕生。

A physics class about the creation of the universe?

That's some pretty unscientific language there.

How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion?

宇宙裡所有的東西都來自爆炸，這怎麼可能？

That's no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back, or African myths about turtles and stuff.

這跟阿特拉斯背著地球，或是非洲神話裡有烏龜什麼的，沒什麼兩樣。

Look, all that's required for the creation of matter is an imbalance of particles and antiparticles.

聽著，物質的產生只需要粒子和反粒子之間的不平衡。

You know Edwin Hubble, the guy who in the early 20th century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe, thus advancing notions of an expanding universe.

你知道艾德溫·哈伯嗎？他是在二十世紀初第一位測量宇宙物質漂移的科學家，這也推動了膨脹中的宇宙這個概念。

嗯，大爆炸理論，這不是很明顯嗎。

Why do people go around touting theories?

A theory only becomes a theory after withstanding rigorous testing.

理論必須經過嚴謹的測試才能成為理論。

Well, it sure does sound like a difficult class, doesn't it?

嗯，聽起來確實是門很難的課，對吧？

It's a very interesting topic and very controversial, so there are many opinions on it.

這是一個很有趣也很具爭議性的話題，所以有很多不同的看法。

But before we get into that, why don't we take a look at some of those physics-related words that we listened to in Language Takeaway.

但在我們深入探討之前，不如先來看看語言學習單元裡聽到的幾個跟物理學有關的單字。

We've got, uh, four words we've heard in the dialogue that are all related to physics.

我們有四個在對話中聽到的單字，都跟物理學有關。

So let's start with the first one, which is matter.

那我們就從第一個開始，是 matter。

Okay, so you probably know this word from "What's the matter?

好的，你大概從「What's the matter?」這句話認識這個字。

In this case, we're talking about matter, so anything that occupies space that has a mass or that is related to energy.

在這個情況下，我們在討論 matter，也就是任何佔據空間、有質量或跟能量有關的東西。

So all things in the world are made up of matter, right?

世界上所有的東西都是由 matter 組成的，對吧？

Now, particles are a little bit more now, particles are a little bit easier.

好的，粒子現在變得比較簡單一點了。

They're just very small pieces of a hole.

它們就是一個整體裡面的很小的部分。

一個蘋果是由蘋果粒子組成的嗎？

You can if you want to understand it easily, yeah, you apple has many small particles that make up the apple.

如果你想簡單理解的話，對，蘋果有很多小粒子組成這個蘋果。

Imagine we've got a beach, and all the pieces of sand are particles of the beach.

想像一下我們有個海灘，所有的沙子都是海灘的粒子。

Now, the next one is a little bit difficult for me.

Now, this prefix, anti, it means something that is against, right?

這個字首「anti」，它的意思就是「反對」，對吧？

And I've seen this one in anti-clockwise.

我看過這個詞用在 anti-clockwise（逆時針）。

All right, so antiparticles are those that are against particles.

好的，所以反粒子就是跟粒子對立的那些。

So basically, if you have a particle that has a positive charge, and

所以基本上，如果你有一個帶正電的粒子，

another one comes in with a negative charge in the same weight and the same type of particle, if they get together, they cancel each other out,

然後另一個帶負電、重量和粒子種類都相同的粒子出現，它們碰到一起，就會互相抵消，

All right, well, you heard it first here at EnglishPod.

好啦，這是在 EnglishPod 第一次聽到的喔。

So antiparticles are not a good thing to have around.

Now, we also heard them talk about the drift of matter.

現在，我們也聽到了他們提到物質漂移。

Also sometimes called drift of dark matter.

Okay, well, I know the verb to drift, right?

好，我懂「漂移」這個動詞的意思，對吧？
