是的,我们又要招一名实习生。这次的考题,还挺难。为啥会这么难呢?因为这个实习编辑将由他来带:他是Ent,果壳网主笔,美国科学促进会(AAAS)国际科学记者奖学金获得者。他毕业于北京大学元培学院,是该院复建古生物专业后的第一届毕业生(对,就是那个6代单传每届只有1名学生的专业)。他擅长以通俗易懂的文风写作最有争议性的科学话题,话题涉及演化、物理、数学等诸多领域。精通翻译,关注社会新闻与科学漫画。
他曾采访Nature总编Philip Campbell、《科学美国人》总编Mariette DiChristina等多位业界人物,致力于与顶级科学家的沟通与采访。
以下是Ent的作品:“鲸尸在深海中,仍将滋养其他动物十五年。”世界动物日的思考:我们为什么要保护野生动物?菲利普·津巴多:英雄的称号,属于那些拒绝旁观的普通人。啊,那个被土著拿着长矛在丛林里追杀过的野生动物学家。日本天皇是个生物学家,我经常跟他一起写论文。
或许你还记得,去年果壳也发送过一份极难的实习生招聘试题。那一次也是在给Ent招募实习生。后来,一位学习金融的小姑娘Stella.S过五关斩六将,进入果壳,在Ent手下实习了一年。实习结束后,她拿到了Nature的offer。没错,就是那个Nature。
以下是Stella.S在果壳实习期间参与的作品:幽默是属于人类的勇气:果壳网对话《火星救援》主创团队。当种族主义、性别歧视入侵科幻,星云奖和她这样反击。果壳网专访新科诺奖得主阿齐兹·桑贾尔:修理DNA的人。
好了,介绍完了,请听题。1 翻译以下句子。如果你有某个地方不明白,希望你能(1)努力试着翻一下,(2)标注出来。不要因为不懂而不翻,但也不要明知自己不懂而试图蒙混过关。
You don't have to venture very far into Google to find the human brain described as “the most complex object in the known universe” or something like that. But for all we know, you wouldn't have to go any further than the nearest whale to poke holes in this claim.“Many is the retriever owner who has taught their dog to get a toy when they come home to channel their excitement,” she added.The absence of women within STEM programs is not only progressive, it is persistent — despite more than 20 years of programs intended to encourage the participation of girls and women.It is the strongest evidence yet to support the most fundamental claims of the theory of quantum mechanics about the existence of an odd world formed by a fabric of subatomic particles, where matter does not take form until it is observed and time runs backward as well as forward.Within the same study, women reported both isolation and intimidation as barriers blocking their scholarly path; and while 23 percent of freshmen reported not having experienced these barriers, only 3 percent of seniors did.
2 假如你要采访Craig Venter,你会向他提出怎样的问题呢?请用英文至少提出3个问题。注意,语法和问题的质量都是评分标准。
3 “Too young, too simple, sometimes naïve”. 这句话的i上面为什么有两个点?请写出另一个使用了同样用法的词。
4 找到网络漫画xkcd的917期。如果你足够勇敢,可以试着翻译一下——但其实你只需要解释它的笑点在哪里就够了。
请将你的答卷和简历,发送至sns@guokr.com,标题请注明【应聘Ent的实习生】。工作地点北京,要求一周至少坐班3天。实习期最短为3个月,当然,我们更希望你能待更长的时间,毕竟3个月仅仅是个开始。
