今天的這段對話,在談?wù)摶瘜W(xué)系,
什么是生物化學(xué)?牛津大學(xué)的化學(xué)系怎么樣
來聽今天的講解:
A: Hi, do you mind if I join you?
你好,介意我加入嗎?
B: Not at all. Hello,I’m Becky.
當(dāng)然不介意。你好,我是貝基。
A: This is Fang Fang. Nice to meet you! Are you also a student of Oxford Brookes University?
我是方方。很高興見到你!你也是牛津布魯克斯大學(xué)的學(xué)生嗎?
B: No! In fact, Fm from the University of Oxford.
不是的!其實,我來自牛津大學(xué)。
A: Oh, really? Terrific! It’s the best university in the UK!
真的嗎? 真厲害!那可是全英國最好的大學(xué)??!
B:Right! Oxford is internationally renown for its excellent academic research.
對啊!牛津大學(xué)因其杰出的學(xué)術(shù)研究而享譽全球。
A: This is known to all! Which division do you belong to?
這是眾所周知的!你屬于哪個學(xué)部?
B: Medical Sciences Division, the largest academic division in the University of Oxford! I major in Biochemistry.
醫(yī)學(xué)學(xué)部,牛津大學(xué)最大的學(xué)部!我主修生物化學(xué)。
A: What is Biochemistry? Is it a combination of Biology and Chemistry?
什么是生物化學(xué)?是生物與化學(xué)的結(jié)合嗎?
B: Basically correct. Modem biochemistry grew out of the application of chemical techniques to biological problems. In many ways, it combines biology and chemistry, but the subject now covers such a broad range that it is difficult to draw a neat border around it.
基本正確。現(xiàn)代生物化學(xué)產(chǎn)生于化工技術(shù)在生物問題上的應(yīng)用。在許多方面,它將生物與化學(xué)結(jié)合在一起,但是這個學(xué)科現(xiàn)在涵蓋了非常廣的范圍以至于很難給它限定一個完整的界線。
A: Oh, what is Biochemistry used to do?
噢!那生物化學(xué)都用來做什么呢?
B: Biochemistry provides theoretical foundations for a variety of areas, including pathology, pharmacology, physiology, genetics, zoology, botany,and even surgery and anatomy.
生物化學(xué)為各個領(lǐng)域提供理論基礎(chǔ),包括病理學(xué)、藥理學(xué)、生理學(xué)、遺傳學(xué)、動物學(xué)、植物學(xué),甚至外科學(xué)和解剖學(xué)。
A: With such a wide range of research, no wonder Oxford Medicine is able to be at the forefront of this field internationally.
研究范圍這么廣泛,怪不得牛津大學(xué)的醫(yī)學(xué)能夠站在該領(lǐng)域的國際前沿。
B:Oxford has a very long history of medical research. As early as in 1940s, after the discovery of penicillin by Sir Alexander Fleming, Oxfords scientists Sir Howard Walter Florey and Ernst Boris Chain have got it into clinical application, resulting that the three persons win the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,
牛津大學(xué)的醫(yī)學(xué)研究歷史久遠。早在20世紀40年代,自從亞歷山大弗萊明發(fā)現(xiàn)青霉秦后,牛津大學(xué)的科學(xué)家霍華德沃爾特弗洛里爵士和埃姆斯特鮑里斯錢恩就將青霉秦投入了臨床應(yīng)用,結(jié)果三人都獲得了1945年的諾 貝爾生理學(xué)獎或醫(yī)學(xué)獎。
A:I remember that the most widely used antibiotics now was also found by an Oxford scientist, right?
我記得現(xiàn)在使用最廣泛的抗生素也是牛津大學(xué)的一位科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)的,對嗎?
B: Yeah! Currently, we commit to apply the Molecular Biology to clinic, and use the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in medical diagnosis. Oxford also has great potential in research on HIV, transplant, genetic disease, and so on.
是的!現(xiàn)在,我們致力于將分子生物學(xué)應(yīng)用于臨床,并將核磁共振原理應(yīng)用于醫(yī)療診斷。牛津大學(xué)還在艾滋病毒、移植手術(shù)和遺傳病等研究方面有很大潛力。
A: Marvelous! I know that Oxford is well known in a large number of fields, such as environmental science, chemistry, physics and economics.
真了不起!我知道牛津大學(xué)在很多領(lǐng)域都很有名氣,像環(huán)境科學(xué)、化學(xué)、物理學(xué)和經(jīng)濟學(xué)。
B:That’s right! As to environmental science, Oxford’s researches range over a wide field, including forest history, climate change, remote sensing, land use, wildlife protection, livestock management, contamination, corrosion, and more.
對極了!就環(huán)境科學(xué)來說,牛津大學(xué)的研究涉及范圍很廣,包括森林史、氣候變化、遙感、土地利用、野生動物保護、家畜管理、污染、腐蝕等等。
A: What about chemistry?
牛津大學(xué)的化學(xué)系怎么樣?
B: In the Department of Chemistry, there are 4 Nobel Prize Winners now. The Department has made significant achievements in protein, synthetic of new inorganic materials, computer-aided molecular design, and so on.
牛津大學(xué)的化學(xué)系目前有4位諾貝爾獎得主。該部門在蛋白質(zhì)、新型無機材料含成、分子的計算機輔肋設(shè)計等方面都取得了重大成就。
A: It seems that all this research is interdisciplinary.
看起來這都是一些跨學(xué)科的研究?。?br />
B: Yeah! Interdisciplinary research is a new trend, which will substitute for the traditionally scientific research based on individual work.
是的!跨學(xué)科研究是一種新的趨勢,它將取代傳統(tǒng)的以個人為主的科學(xué)研究。
A: Oh! I see. It’s nice to have a chat with you. Let’s go dancing!
噢!我明白了。很高興和你聊天。我們一起去跳舞吧!
B: Good idea!
好主意!
