精校答案

网上要找美剧和电影的字幕并不难, 但字幕常常有错误. 你用有错误的字幕做精听练习, 很容易被带到沟里去. 下边是我听写并精校过的答案, 请放心使用~

1 The oceans hold 97% of all the water in the world. As the sun warms their surface, water evaporates.
大海包含了世界上97%的水分. 太阳使海面升温, 海水蒸发

2 The vapour rises into the sky until it cools and condenses into towering clouds. And they generate huge storms.
水蒸气上升到空中, 直到它冷却下来, 凝结成云塔. 它们会产生巨大的风暴

3 The spin of the earth deflects these storms north and south into cooler latitudes.
地球的自转会使得这些风暴转向南方和北方, 进入温度更低的高纬度地区

4 As they travel across the sea, storm-driven winds create huge swells.
当它们穿越海洋时, 巨大的风会产生巨大的浪

5 When the swells reach shallower water, they rise into gigantic waves.
当波浪抵达更浅的水域, 它们掀起滔天巨浪

6 In its lifetime, a large storm can release energy that is the equivalent of 10,000 nuclear bombs.
在它的整个生命周期里, 一个大型的风暴可以释放出相当于10,000个原子弹的能量

语言点讲解

1 The oceans hold 97% of all the water in the world. As the sun warms their surface, water evaporates.
大海包含了世界上97%的水分. 太阳使海面升温, 海水蒸发

evaporate=v 蒸发 /ɪˈvæpəreɪt/
vapour=n 蒸汽 /ˈveɪpə(r)/
water vapour=n 水蒸气
注意英式拼写是vapour, 美式拼写是vapor
再比如我们之前见到的behaviour(英式), 美式拼写就是behavior
