Hiking around Kilauea later that day
Jun: Oh my god! The ground is growing red! Is that lava?
Lisa: Yes. This is the world's most active volcano! It's been erupting for twenty years now.
Jun: It's beautiful. But it smells awful.
Lisa: You know all the Hawaiian islands are volcanic, right?
Jun: Of course. I want to take some of this lava home with me.
Lisa: I think you can do that. But ask Pele's permission first.
Jun: The Brazilian soccer player?
Lisa: No, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. Kilauea is her home!
(续上期)
小君：喔，我的天！土地变成红色的了！这就是火山熔岩吗？
莉莎：是的。这是世界上最活跃的活火山！二十年来这个火山不断地爆发。
小君：好漂亮。但是味道很难闻。
莉莎：你知道所有夏威夷岛屿都是火山岛，对吧？
小君：当然啰。我想要把一些火山熔岩带回家。
莉莎：我想你可以这么做。但是先征求裴蕾的允许吧。
小君：那是巴西的足球员吗？
莉莎：不是，是夏威夷的火山女神。基劳亚是她的家！
重点解说：
★ lava (n.) 火山熔岩
★ volcano (n.) 火山，volcanic (a.) 火山的
★ erupt (v.) 爆发
★ permission (n.) 允许
★ soccer player 足球员。 巴西足球员比利(Pele)是最年轻的冠军球员，曾三次代表冠军队出赛，所以对话中莉莎提到Pele，小君以为是足球员 | |

Time travel is clearly a trickier proposition than space travel, though. Put simply, Einstein's idea was that every object in the universe has it's own “time”, and these vary as objects move. The faster an object moves, the slower its time is, compared to the time of a slower moving object. The extreme situation would be if an object could move as fast as the speed of light, its time would be completely halted. But whatever an object--or person's--time is, it's only evident in contrast to other objects. In other words, it's all relatives.
与太空旅行相比，时间旅行很显然是一个更为复杂的命题。简而言之，爱因斯坦的观点就是，宇宙中每一物体都有其自身的“时间”，并随其运动的不同而不同。物体运动越快，其时间越慢（与运动较慢的物体相比而言）。最极端的假设是，如果一个物体运动达到光速，那么其时间就会完全停止。但无论一个物体或者一个人的时间为何，它只能参照其它物体才能得以体现。换句话说，万物皆相对。 | |

过去完成时典型例题
The students ___ busily when Miss Brown went to get a book she ___ in the office.
A. had written, left B，were writing, has left C. had written, had left D. were writing, had left
答案D. "把书忘在办公室"发生在"去取书"这一过去的动作之前，因此"忘了书"这一动作发生在过去的过去，用过去完成时。句中when表示的是时间的一点，表示在"同学们正忙于……"这一背景下，when所引导的动作发生。因此
前一句应用过去进行时。
注意： had no … when 还没等…… 就……
had no sooner… than 刚…… 就……
He had no sooner bought the car than he sold it.
