论文部分内容阅读
我要讲的题目是,地震学与工程学之间的相互关系,或者也可以说是地球科学家与工程师之间的相互关系。下面先读两段短文。这两段短文即阐述了该相互关系的顺利的一面,也闸述了其坎坷的一面,即谈到了默契和谐,也谈到了困难障碍。除此之外,这两段短文还涉及到该相互关系的发展过程。第一篇短文摘自《旧金山时报》(1987年3月21日),题目是“穷人可能对旧金山抗震活动漠不关心”。摘录如下:“一项最近的研究结果表明,要将低收入居民的住房改建成符合现代抗震标准的楼房,所需费用昂贵,因此成百的旧金山穷人可能要
The topic I’m going to talk about is the relationship between seismology and engineering, or the interplay between Earth scientists and engineers. Read the two paragraphs below. These two short essays elaborate on the smooth side of the interrelationship and also describe its rough side, that is, the tacit understanding of harmony and the difficulty of obstacles. In addition, the two essays dealt with the development of the interdependence. The first essay is taken from the San Francisco Times (March 21, 1987) titled “The poor may be indifferent to the seismic activity in San Francisco.” An excerpt reads as follows: "A recent study shows that it can be expensive to convert low-income housing to buildings that meet modern seismic standards, so hundreds of San Francisco poor may want
