　　牛津大学物理学教授的力讲访谈

I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly. When I have to aid others in understanding it. And when I have to answer questions about it, teaching at a high level can be very stimulating. One, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field, they are instructing

　　M：any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? a significant discovery on venture. And we can expect soon?

　　W：the world is always conducting science and there are constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now we have too much data sitting in computers.

Conversation two.

　　对于梦的起源的探讨(摊手)

　　M：Do you think dreams have special meanings?

　　W：No, I don't think they do.

　　M：Don't either. But some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays, in the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.

　　W：My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed, can you guess what she did? She didn't take that flight. She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead she took the same flight. But a week later, everything was fine. Of course, no plane ever crashed.

　　M：How funny did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It's been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.

　　W：Yes, absolutely. But even if we think they are ridiculous, emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.

　　M：Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, things they wished would happen. But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.

When it reaches the lake, it will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures, and look for signs of life.
