初步介紹
1.托里切力( Evangelista Torricelli) 的老師是伽利略(挑戰教宗,追求地球繞日的真理)。
2義大利數學和物理學家,化學也需要他。
3她改進望遠鏡和顯微鏡。
4.發明氣壓計。
5.壓力的單位托耳(torr)來自於名字(Torricelli)。
6此外,解決當時的數學難題 擺線的面積 但有剽竊其他數學家提出的解決方法的嫌疑。 擺線 配合三角函數 可畫出愛心 有興趣就google吧
精選文章句子
1. But Torricelli (was) so impressed his mentor and his patron that he was invited to succeed Galileo(伽利略) as mathematician to the Medici court.
be impressed with +人 (作文) mentor 人生導師 patron 贊助者(在這句裡);老主顧(高中幾乎都碰到這個意思) succeed in 繼承;接替 (文法)
2. He experimented with a much denser liquid, mercury, and discovered that mercury could not be raised any higher than about 30 inches.(76cm水銀汞柱)
experiment 實驗(名詞動詞同字) dense稠密的(聯想density) liquid液體{化學上 液體簡稱l 例如water(l)} raise 升起 ;舉起
3. Torricelli suspected that the weight of the atmosphere keeps the mercury up – that we live under an “ocean of air”, as he put it, and that there is a vacuum at the top of the tube.
suspect 懷疑 atmosphere 大氣(理工科文章9成就是翻它);氣氛 vacuum真空 這句聯想右圖 (圖來自科科史上的今天)
4. Subsequent experiments by Blaise Pascal(帕斯卡) and others confirmed that Torricelli was right about the atmosphere having weight, and that there is indeed a vacuum at the top of the tube. Nature does not abhor a vacuum after all.
Subsequent 隨後的 confirm 證實 abhor 懼怕

最後,取之上面精選文章第三句
"We live under an “ocean of air" 翻成我們生活在空氣之海的底 咀嚼文字後蠻意境的
一樣的目標,希望用跨科的角度學科氏力,讓你對科氏力能再多接受一點,也和英文一步步拉近距離。
