一流的英文词组及趣事 一流 first class [英][fə:st klɑ:s] [美][fɚst klæs] 中英文小故事：一流设计师 美国的一个海滨城市又一座摩天大楼拔地而起c这是设计师约翰先生的顶尖作品。 汤姆是一名在校中学生。有一天，他来到约翰设计的大楼下，主楼的轻薄构架给他留下深刻印象。 一回家，汤姆就从电脑里调出了该楼的资料。让他惊叹的是，他突然发现，这幢大楼的迎风面正好落在三角形棱边上，但强风碰上棱边，势必会改变方向产生旋转，这时单薄的墙体正好是受力最大的区域。他把自己的发现写成了一封信，寄给了约翰先生。 收到信后，约翰用电脑进行了风动模拟测试，结果汤姆的推测完全正确。 约翰不愧为一流设计师，短期内就找到了解决办法。当一块重达数十吨的预制构件吊上楼顶时，约翰悬着的心也随之落地。他的独到方法不仅避免了大楼的危险，而且翻开了建筑 史上防风抗风划时代的一页。 The First-Class Designer On a coastal city of the United States rose another skyscraper，which was the designer Mr. John’s top-notch. Tom was a high-school student. One day, he came to the building John designed and the light and thin framework of the main building made a deep impression on him. Back home, Tom searched for the material of this building from his computer. To his wonderment, he suddenly found that the upwind side of the building was right on the edge of the triangle comer, but when the strong wind met the edge, it would inevitably change the direction and rotate, and then the thin and weak wall was precisely the largest zone of bearing the wind. He wrote a letter to Mr. John telling his discovery. On receiving the letter, John used the computer to make a pneumatic simulation test. It turned out that Tom’s inference' was entirely correct. John proved himself to be a first-class designer, for in the short term he actually found a solution. When one block of prefabricated part weighing several tons was suspended on the roof, John felt relieved at last. His unique approach not only avoided the danger of the building, but also turned over a new page in the architectural history of preventing and resisting the wind. skyscraper 摩天大楼 top-notch 一流的 wonderment 惊奇，惊叹 triangle 三角形；三角板 inevitably 不可避免地；必然地 precisely 精确地；恰好 pneumatic 装满空气的；气动的 simulation 模仿，模拟 inference 推理；推断 prefabricated (建筑物、船等）预制构件的 architectural 有关建筑的；建筑上的 |
