The Science Museum in London伦敦的科学博物馆
By Tony Smith托尼·史密斯
Welcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here,and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.
欢迎来到伦敦最友好的博物馆。在大多数的博物馆禁止喧哗和奔跑,并且禁止触摸任何东西。但是科学博物馆不一样……这里很嘈杂!人们谈论着他们在这里能够看到什么和做什么,而且还有一些噪音很大的机器。如果你想知道有关科学问题的答案,这正是你要来的地方。
I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example,you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you see inside your body.
我喜欢参观三楼和四楼的展室。你不仅能了解数学、物理学和化学,还能了解有关通信和环境的知识。例如,你能查明人们怎样从地下挖煤并使用它产生能量。在一个展室里,他们甚至解释X光是如何让你看到身体内部的。
The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.
四楼上的发射台是最受欢迎的展室,它也是我最喜欢的展室,因为这里有许多物理实验。例如,如果你想用沙装满一个袋子,你得操作一种带轮子的卡车并将它移进一个正确的位置。你也能够查明人们如何进入太空旅行并再次返回。
On the fourth and fifth floors,you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today,you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!
左五楼和六楼上,你能了解过去的医学是什么样子的。如果你将过去的医学 现在的(医学)作比较,下次你去就医时,你会感觉非常幸运!
The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter,so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day.0 It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!
科学博物馆对所有年龄段的人来说都是很有趣的。在那里你总是能发现某些新东西并玩得很高兴。博物馆是免费参观的,因此你可以进去几分钟或待一整天。它每天从上午10点到下午6点都是开放的。因此如果你去伦敦,一定要去参观科学博物馆。它是全世界我最喜欢的博物馆!
