Nuclear fusion

正文Nuclear fusion heat record a ’huge step’ in quest for new energy source*** 新型能源探索中的“重大突破”——核聚变创能量输出新纪录The prospect of harnessing the power of the stars has moved a step closer to reality after scientists set a new record for the amount of energy released in a sustained fusion reaction. 日前，科学家们创造了核聚变反应持续释放能量的新记录，这意味着，人类利用恒星力量的设想又向现实迈进了一步。 加入会员可查看 Researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET), a fusion experiment in Oxfordshire, generated 59 megajoules of heat — equivalent to about 14kg of TNT — during a five-second burst of fusion, more than doubling the previous record of 21.7 megajoules set in 1997 by the same facility. 欧洲联合环状反应堆（JET）是设在英国牛津郡的一处实验（设施），该反应堆的研究人员在 5 秒的核聚变反应中产生了 59 兆焦耳的热量，相当于 14 千克 TNT **产生的热量，比 1997 年由同一设备创下的 21.7 兆焦耳的纪录高出了一倍多。 加入会员可查看 The feat announced on Wednesday follows more than two decades of tests and refinements at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy and has been hailed as a "major milestone" on the road to fusion becoming a viable and sustainable low-carbon energy source.*** 周三，这项了不起的成就被公诸于世；在此前的二十多年间，（科学家们）一直在英国卡勒姆聚变能源中心（CCFE）进行试验和改进。而在核聚变成为可行和可持续的低碳能源道路上，该实验被誉为“重要里程碑”。 加入会员可查看 Experiments at JET have focused on whether fusion is feasible with a fuel based on two isotopes of hydrogen known as deuterium and tritium. The latest results suggest that it is and provide crucial confirmation for Iter, a larger fusion project being built in the south of France. JET 实验主要集中在氢气的两种同位素（氘和氚）能否作为核聚变的燃料。最新的结果表明，它不仅可行，而且给国际热核聚变实验堆（法国南部一个在建的更大规模的核聚变项目）提供了关键性确认。If all goes well with Iter, the next step is to build a European dem***tration power plant that produces more electricity than it uses and is hooked up to the grid. The prospect of fusion energy is deeply attractive because it does not release greenhouse gases and 1kg of fusion fuel contains about 10m times as much energy as 1kg of coal, oil or gas. 如果 Iter 的进展一切顺利，下一步就是建立一个欧洲示范电厂，该电厂产生的电量大于其耗费的电量，并与电网相连。核聚变能量的前景非常有吸引力，因为它不会释放温室气体，而且 1 千克的聚变燃料所创造的能量是同重量煤、石油或天然气的 1000 万倍。 加入会员可查看 主编：桃子、Jack 品控：桃子 审核：Jack 重点词汇 nuclear fusion 核聚变 相关短语：nuclear fission（核裂变） 文化补充：如今普遍使用的核能是由裂变产生，它依赖于原子的分裂，但这个过程会产生具有数万年放射性的废料。而核聚变更安全，是将两个或多个原子融合成一个更大的原子，旨在模仿太阳上发生的核聚变，因此这一过程也被成为“人造太阳”。聚变在释放巨大热能的过程中可以产生更少的废料，并且只需要少量丰富的天然燃料，比如从海水中提取元素，是世界各国淘汰化石燃料的一个颇具吸引力的选择。 in quest for sth. 寻找某样东西 相关词汇：quest（n.（长期的）探索，渴求） 搭配短语：the quest for truth 搭配短语：the quest for knowledge 例句：People journeyed to the distant Arrakis in quest of spices. harness /ˈhɑːr.nəs/ v. 控制；利用......的动力 英文释义：to control and use the natural force or power of something 例句：We can harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. sustained /səˈsteɪnd/ adj. 持续的，持久的 搭配短语：a period of sustained economic development generate /ˈdʒen.ə.reɪt/ v.（以某种形式）产生（能量等） 英文释义：to produce energy in a particular form 搭配短语：to generate electricity equivalent /ɪˈkwɪv.əl.ənt/ adj. 相等的，等同的 搭配短语：be equivalent to sth. 例句：Eight kilometres is roughly equivalent to five miles. feat /fiːt/ n. 成就，壮举，功绩 搭配短语：an amazing / astonishing / incredible / remarkable feat（非常了不起的成就） 例句：Building those tunnels is a brilliant feat of engineering. refinement /rɪ’faɪn.mənt/ n.（精细的）改进，完善 相关词汇：refine（v. 工业上的提纯，精炼；改进，完善） 搭配短语：to refine the software 例句：The program has bugs and needs endless refinements. hail /heɪl/ v. 称颂，赞扬；招呼，招手叫车 搭配短语：to hail a taxi（呼叫一辆出租车） 搭配短语：ride-hailing service（打车服务） 例句：The Winter Olympics was hailed as a great success.（称颂，赞扬） milestone /ˈmaɪl.stoʊn/ n. 里程碑，重大事件 相关词汇：mile（n. 英里） 相关词汇：stone（n. 石头） 例句：China reached a milestone in space feasible /ˈfiː.zə.bəl/ adj. 可行的，行得通的 近义词：viable 例句：It’s perfectly feasible to produce electricity without creating pollution. isotope /ˈaɪ.sə.toʊp/ n. 同位素 dem***tration /ˌdem.ənˈstreɪ.ʃən/ n. 演示，示范 补充：Iter 的建设工作正在进行中，一旦完成，Iter 有望迎来聚变能源发展的下一个阶段——核聚变示范电厂（dem***tration fusion plants），也称为 DEMO，其目标是首次利用核聚变发电。各国研究小组都在探索 DEMO 概念和方案，虽然每个国家有不同的时间表，但科学家们普遍认为，他们可以在 2050 年前建成并运行能够发电的 DEMO 型反应堆。 hook up to sth. 连接到电子设备（或系统等）；接通 相关词汇：hook（n. 钩子，挂钩） 例句：Check that the computer is hooked up to the printer. grid /grɪd/ n. 电力网，输电网；格子，网格 例句：The streets were laid out in a grid pattern. 加入会员可查看

佛朗西斯科 佛朗哥的个人传记

Francisco Franco, the son of a naval postmaster, was born in El Ferrol, Spain, on 4th December, 1892. Franco graduated from the Toledo Military Academy in 1910. Commissioned into the 8th Regiment he was posted to Morocco in 1913. Although physically **all he proved to be a courageous officer and won rapid promotion.Franco had reached the rank of major in 1917 and played a prominent role in strike-breaking in the Asturian coal fields and in 1920 Lieutenant Colonel Millán Astray appointed him second in command of the Spanish Foreign Legion (Tercio de Extranjeros).The first volunteers arrived in Ceuta in October 1920. Astray told his new recruits "you have lifted yourselves from among the dead - for don’t forget that you were dead, that your lives were over. You have come here to live a new life for which you must pay with death. You have come here to die. Since you crossed the Straits, you have no mother, no girlfriend, no family; from today all that will be provided by the Legion." Astray added: "Death in combat is the greatest honour. You die only once. Death arrives without pain and is not so terrible as it seems. The most horrible thing is to live as a coward."The Tercio de Extranjeros quickly developed a reputation for brutality. Astray and Franco encouraged the killing and mutilation of prisoners. Arturo Barea, who served under Franco in Morroco in 1921, later wrote: "When it attacked, the Tercio knew no limits to its vengeance. When it left a village, nothing remained but fires and the corpses of men, women and children."In 1923 Franco replaced Millán Astray as commander of the Tercio de Extranjeros and over the next few years he gained a reputation as a brilliant strategist and administrator.In October 1923 Franco married Carmen Polo, a member of a wealthy merchant family. Franco growing reputation in the armed forces was recognized when Alf***o XIII sent a representative to the wedding.In 1925 France and Spain agreed to combine forces against Abd-el-Krim in Morocco. Franco was placed in command of the Spanish troops and Henri-Philippe Petain led the French Army. In 1926 Franco was appointed Europe’s youngest general. Two years later he was appointed commander of Spain’s new military academy at Saragossa. This involved him visiting military schools in Germany and France.Franco supported the military dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera. However, after failing to solve Spain’s economic problems he was forced to resign in January 1930. In 1931 Alf***o XIII agreed to democratic electi***. It was the first time for nearly sixty years that **** electi*** had been allowed in Spain. When the Spanish people voted overwhelmingly for a republic, Alf***o was advised that the only way to avoid large-scale violence was to go into exile. Alf***o agreed and left the country on 14th April, 1931.The provisional government called a general election for June 1931. The Socialist ***** (PSOE) and other left wing parties won an overwhelming victory. Niceto Alcala Zamora, a moderate Republican, became prime minister, but included in his cabinet several radical figures such as Manuel Azaña, Francisco Largo Caballero and Indalecio Prieto.On 16th October 1931, Azaña replaced Niceto Alcala Zamora as prime minister. With the support of the Socialist ***** (PSOE) he attempted to introduce agrarian reform and regional autonomy. However, these measures were blocked in the Cortes.Franco held right-wing, monarchist views and the republican government mistrusted him and demoted him to a minor post in Corunna. Two years later he was sent to command the Spanish Army in the Balearics.In October 1934 the government used Franco and Moroccan mercenary troops to suppress the Asturian miners’ strike. This action caused the left-wing in Spain to identify Franco as one of their main enemies. The right-wing approved of Franco and in 1935, José Maria Gil Robles, the minister of war, appointed him as his chief of staff. In this post Franco promoted monarchists and purged the army hierarchy of Republicans.On 15th January 1936, Manuel Azaña helped to establish a coalition of parties on the political left to fight the national electi*** due to take place the following month. This included the Socialist ***** (PSOE), Communist ***** ( PCE), Esquerra ***** and the Republican Union *****.The Popular Front, as the coalition became known, advocated the restoration of Catalan autonomy, amnesty for political prisoners, agrarian reform, an end to political blacklists and the payment of damages for property owners who suffered during the revolt of 1934.Right-wing groups in Spain formed the National Front. This included the CEDA and the Carlists. The Falange Española did not officially join but most of its members supported the aims of the National Front.The Spanish people voted on Sunday, 16th February, 1936. Out of a possible 13.5 million voters, over 9,870,000 participated in the 1936 General Election. 4,654,116 people (34.3) voted for the Popular Front, whereas the National Front obtained 4,503,505 (33.2) and the centre parties got 526,615 (5.4). The Popular Front, with 263 seats out of the 473 in the Cortes formed the new government.The Popular Front government immediately upset the c***ervatives by releasing all left-wing political prisoners. The government also introduced agrarian reforms that penalized the landed aristocracy. Other measures included outlawing the Falange Española and granting Catalonia political and administrative autonomy.The government, afraid of a military uprising, transferred right-wing military leaders to posts outside Spain. This included Franco, who was appointed him governor of Canary Islands.In February 1936 Franco joined other Spanish Army officers, such as Emilio Mola, Juan Yague, Gonzalo Queipo de Llano and José Sanjurjo, in talking about overthrowing the Popular Front government. Mola became leader of this group and at this stage Franco was unwilling to fully commit himself to joining the revolt.On the 10th May 1936 the c***ervative Niceto Alcala Zamora was ousted as president and replaced by the left-wing Manuel Azaña. As a result of the government’s economic measures the wealthy took vast sums of capital out of the country. This created an economic crisis and the value of the peseta declined which damaged trade and touri**. With prices rising workers demanded higher wages. This led to a series of strikes in Spain.President Manuel Azaña appointed Diego Martinez Barrio as prime minister on 18th July 1936 and asked him to negotiate with the rebels. He contacted Emilio Mola and offered him the post of Minister of War in his government. He refused and when Azaña realized that the Nationalists were unwilling to compromise, he sacked Martinez Barrio and replaced him with José Giral. To protect the Popular Front government, Giral gave orders for arms to be distributed to left-wing organizati*** that opposed the military uprising.General Emilio Mola issued his proc****tion of revolt in Navarre on 19th July, 1936. The coup got off to a bad start with José Sanjurjo being killed in an air crash on 20th July. The uprising was a failure in most parts of Spain but Mola’s forces were successful in the Canary Islands, Morocco, Seville and Aragon. Franco, now commander of the Army of Africa, joined the revolt and began to conquer southern Spain.By the end of September 1936, the nine other generals involved in the military uprising came to the conclusion that Franco should become commander of the Nationalist Army. He was also appointed chief of state. General Emilio Mola agreed to serve under him and was placed in charge of the Army of the North.Franco now began to remove all his main rivals for the leadership of the Nationalist forces. Some were forced into exile and nothing was done to help rescue José Antonio Primo de Rivera from captivity. However, when José Antonio was shot by the Republicans in November 1936, Franco exploited his death by ****** him a mythological saint of the fascist movement.On 19th April 1937, Franco forced the unification of the Falange Española and the Carlists with other **all right-wing parties to form the Falange Española Tradicionalista. Franco then had himself appointed as leader of the new organisation. Imitating the tactics of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany, giant posters of Franco and the dead José Antonio were displayed along with the slogan, "One State! One Country! One Chief! Franco! Franco! Franco!" all over Spain.Franco and his Nationalist Army, with the support of German and Italian troops, gradually began to take control of Spain. His troops captured Badajoz and this enabled him to join up with General Mola’s army and secure the borders with Portugal. The victory at Irun sealed one frontier with France. In June 1937 the Nationalists captured Bilbao providing Franco with a major industrial base.Franco was also helped by the French government’s closing the Pyrenees passes to Spain in June 1938. Another important factor in his victory was the decision by Juan Negrin, the Republican prime minister, to withdraw the International Brigades in September 1938.In February 1939 the Nationalist Army was able to close the last frontier with France. Franco now concentrated his forces on the now isolated Madrid and its defenders eventually surrendered the city on 31st March.Franco developed a reputation as a cruel and vindictive military leader. It is estimated that an estimated 200,000 political prisoners died as a result of starvation, overwork and executi***. The persecution of political opponents continued until 1944 when a number of amnesties and pard*** were granted.Franco joined the Anti-Comintern Pact on 7th April 1938 but declared the neutrality of Spain on the outbreak of the Second World War. Adolf Hitler tried hard to get Franco to change his mind. In their negotiati*** Franco demanded that in any postwar settlement he wanted control of Gibraltar, French Morocco, a portion of Algeria including Oran, and parts of Africa.Franco’s main demand was that Germany had to fully compensate Spain for the cost of any British blockade of the country. Hitler was in no position to take on this burden and the negotiati*** came to an end. However, Franco did agree to provide logistical and intelligence support and promised to send a volunteer force, the Spanish Blue Division, to help the fight against communi** in Europe.After the defeat of France in May 1940, Adolf Hitler resumed negotiati*** with Franco. The two men met at Hendaye on 23rd October 1940. Hitler’s main request was for his troops to travel through Spain to link up with an airbourne assault in Gibraltar. Franco, who believed that Germany would not win a long war, refused. Instead, he asked for arms so that Spain could capture Gibraltar. Afterwards Hitler remarked that he would rather visit the dentist to have his teeth removed than have another meeting with Franco.Franco did c***ider invading Gibraltar while Britain was involved in the war with Nazi Germany. However, he decided against this move when he was informed that if this happened, British forces would take the Canary Islands.In October 1943, Franco recalled the Spanish Blue Division from the Soviet Union. Convinced that the Axis powers would be defeated, Franco now began to openly support the Allies in the war with Germany.After the war Franco came under c***iderable pressure to restore the monarchy. In 1947 Franco announced a referendum to establish his position. The vote confirmed him as lifetime regent. The following year, Juan Carlos, the future king, began his education at the age of ten under Franco’s supervision.Franco’s strong anti-Communi** made him popular with the United States and in 1950 Spain was allowed to join the United Nati***. In 1953 Franco signed an agreement that enabled the United States to establish four air and naval bases in Spain. In return the National Atlantic Treaty Organization protected Franco’s regime from foreign invasion.In 1953 the Vatican confirmed the Church’s recognition of Franco’s power by granting him the right to the final choice of a bishop from a list of several candidates proposed by the pope.Franco’s main foreign policy was to recover Gibraltar and to maintain Spain’s colonies in Africa. He was unsuccessful in persuading Britain to give up Gibraltar and in 1956 he was forced to come to terms with the sultan of Morocco.Franco announced in 1969 that on his death he would be replaced by Juan Carlos, the grandson of Spain’s last ruling king. Francisco Franco died on 20th November 1975 and within two years almost every vestige of his dictatorship had disappeared.(1) Edward Knoblaugh, Correspondent in Spain (1937)Cadiz, Caceres, Huelva, Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba were Franco’s, as was the whole northern area of Spain fromthe Guadarrama mountains just north of Madrid to the Bay of Biscay, save a **all strip of the Basque and Asturian coast. Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel marked his lines on the east. He was in possession of the entire area bordering the Portuguese frontier on the west except a narrow strip in the vicinity of Badajoz.In Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, however, Franco’s revolt had been crushed with a thoroughness that portendedill for the success of his movement. They were the three largest cities of Spain, and had been the key-points of therebellion. Lack of coordination in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, was what caused the rebellion to miss fire there.The government, having, in desperation, overruled President Azana and passed out arms to the workers, seemed as though it would turn the tables on the insurgent leader.In that first urgent need for militant manpower to offset the traditional apathy of the peace-loving masses, 40,000 common prisoners had been released on their promise to carry arms, and these, with some 25,000 recently pardonedpolitical prisoners gambling for continued ****dom, had stiffened the disorganized Loyalist forces.But the decision of Commander Martinez Monje, chief of the Valencia garrison, to throw his support to the government, was the deciding factor in the issue at that time. For ten days Commander Monje held his troops in their barracks while he carefully weighed the odds. When the Montana barracks fell before the militia in Madrid, and the Barcelona revolt had been crushed, Monje decided Franco’s chances were slim and cast his lot with the government. Franco must have cursed the thought of Monje many times since.(2) Francisco Franco, speech (17th July 1936)Spaniards! The nation calls to her defense all those of you who hear the holy name of Spain, those in the ranks of the Army and Navy who have made a profession of faith in the service of the Motherland, all those who swore to defend her to the death against her enemies. The situation in Spain grows more critical every day; anarchy reigns in most of the countryside and towns; government-appointed authorities encourage revolts, when they do not actually lead them; murderers use pistols and machine guns to settle their differences and to treacherously assassinate innocent people, while the public authorities fail to impose law and order. Revolutionary strikes of all kinds paralyze the life of the nation, destroying its sources of wealth and creating hunger, forcing working men to the point of desperation. The most savage attacks are made upon national monuments and artistic treasures by revolutionary hordes who obey the orders of foreign governments, with the complicity and negligence of local authorities. The most serious crimes are committed in the cities and countryside, while the forces that should defend public order remain in their barracks, bound by blind obedience to those governing authorities that are intent on dishonoring them. The Army, Navy, and other armed forces are the target of the most obscene and slanderous attacks, which are carried out by the very people who should be protecting their prestige. Meanwhile, martial law is imposed to gag the nation, to hide what is happening in its towns and cities, and to imprison alleged political opponents.(3) The Manchester Guardian (30th July 1936)General Franco, the rebel Spanish leader, in an interview with a Press Association correspondent at his headquartersin Tetuan, made what appears to be virtually an appeal for international support, and also indicated the possibility of introducing large numbers of Riffs into Spain to fight against the Spanish Government.He indicated that the revolutionaries had plenty of money, but did not explain where it came from. He adopted the revolutionaries’ favourite argument that time is of little c***equence to them, and that all they have to do is to hold on until the Government’s funds and supplies are exhausted. He said:’It is not merely a national question, it is international. Surely Great Britain, Germany, and Italy must be in sympathy withour aims. I am absolutely disinterested personally. As long as the uprising benefits Spain by stamping out Communi**I am content, but I have no wish to inflict unnecessary hardships. After all they are not all Communists.’If all goes well I shall establish my first headquarters at Seville. We are not short of money, but the danger lies in what help the Spanish Government may receive from Moscow and the Popular Front Government in France. On that depends how long the Government forces can hold out.’The Riffs, too, are anxious to help us. They have made representati*** asking to be allowed to form regiments of their own under my officers and go and fight against the Communists. The Foreign Legion, both Spanish and native, is entirely faithful to me.’General Franco admitted his disappointment at the collapse of the rising in the navy, but went on:’Without the officers the men can do little. They are ignorant and have no idea of navigation. Fuel and food are short. It is only a matter of time until they finally surrender to us.’The correspondent asked about the bombing of the Spanish warship Jaime I, at the entrance of Tangier harbour, whenbombs fell close to a British steamer and caused alarm in Tangier. The General appeared to be upset. ’The pilot resp***ible’, he stated, ’was sent for and I severely reprimanded him. He had been looking for the boat and missed it until it was nearing Tangier harbour. Then he lost his head and dropped his bombs against my express order.’(4) Hermann Goering, statement at Nuremberg War Crimes Trial (October 1946)When the civil war broke out in Spain Franco sent a call for help to Germany and asked for support, particularly in theair. Franco with his troops was stationed in Africa and he could not get his troops across, as the fleet was in the hands of the communists. The decisive factor was, first of all, to get his troops to Spain. The Führer thought the matter over. I urged him to give support under all circumstances: firstly, to prevent the further spread of communi**; secondly, to test my young Luftwaffe in this or that technical respect.(5) George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia (1938)To understand the alignment on the Government side one has got to remember how the war started. When the fighting broke out on 18th July probable that every anti-Fascist in Europe felt a thrill of hope. For here at last, apparently, was democracy standing up to Fasci**. For years past the so-called democratic countries had been surrendering to Fasci** at every step. The Japanese had been allowed to do as they liked in Manchuria. Hitler had walked into power and proceeded to massacre political opponents of all shades. Mussolini had bombed the Abyssinians while fifty-three nati*** (I

电影致命魔术里有一句化腐朽为神奇英文原文是什么

电影中的一些经典台词，我最喜欢第三句。1、Every great magic trick c***ists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn’t. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you’re looking for the ******... but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because ****** something disappear isn’t enough; you have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "ThePrestige".译文：每一场魔术表演都有三个步骤。第一个步骤是“以虚代实”：魔术师秀出一个真实的东西，一副牌、一只鸟或一个人，让你看这样东西，叫你检视它，看它的确是真的，平常的不得了。但是，其中一定有假。第二个步骤是“偷天换日”，魔术师利用这个普通的东西，做出令人叹为观止的表演，现在你很想找出秘诀，但是绝对找不到。因为你根本没有真正在看，你并不是真的想知道，你想要被骗。但是你还不会鼓掌，因为把东西变不见还不够，你必须把它变回来。所以魔术都有第三个步骤，最难的部分，我们称之为“化腐朽为神奇”。2、If anybody really believed the things I did on stage, they wouldn’t clap, they’d scream.译文：如果大家把我的表演当真，就不会鼓掌，只会尖叫。3、You never understood... why we did this. The audience knows the truth. The world is ******, miserable, solid all the way through. But if you can fool them, even for a second... then you can make them wonder. And you get to see something very special. ... You really don’t know. ... It was the look on their faces.译文：你不懂我们为什么要变魔术？观众知道真相。现实既残酷又悲惨。没有奇迹，没有魔法。但是如果你能骗倒他们，即使只有一秒钟，就能让他们惊叹，然后你就能… 然后你就能看到非常特别的事。你真的不知道吗？那就是观众脸上的表情。4、The ****** impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything.译文：魔术的秘密没啥了不起，变魔术的技巧才重要。5、The sacrifice... that’s the price of a good trick.译文：自我牺牲才是精彩魔术的代价。6、You’re familiar with the phrase "Man’s reach exceeds his grasp"? It’s a lie. Man’s grasp exceeds his nerve. The only limits on scientific progress are those imposed by society. The first time I changed the world, I was hailed as a visionary. The second time I was asked politely to retire. The world only tolerates one change at a time. And so here I am. Enjoying my "retirement". Nothing is impossible, Mr. Angier, what you want is simply expensive.译文：你听过这句俗话吗？ “心有余而力不足”。那不是真话。人类只是胆量不够。社会一次只能接受一种改变。我第一次试着改变世界，被称为先知；第二次他们却请我退休。所以我在这里享受退休时光。没有不可能的事，只是很贵不贵的问题。

皇家马德里英文介绍，三分钟演讲，高一水平急！！！

Founded in 1902, Real Madrid Club de Fútbol has been one of the superpowers in European football since the middle of the last century. Indeed, they were awarded the honour of “Best club of the 20 th century by FIFA, an award for their huge domestic success and also for their domination of Europe. Real Madrid was not always named thus and the “Real” (or “Royal”) part of the name was only added after the club received a blessing from King Alf***o XIII in 1920. The club play in a white strip and they are commonly known as “Los Merengues” (the whites). The club’s home is at the Santiago Bernebéu stadium in Madrid, it is one of Europe’s finest and holds over 80,000 fans and is now also a huge tourist attraction in the city. Since the start of the Spanish national league in 1928, Madrid have never been relegated from the top division.The start of the clubs success really came under the Franco regime – he saw the club as an excellentpropaganda vehicle and poured resource into the club to try to make them a dominating force in Spain and beyond. It is from this point that one of the greatest rivalries in football was born with Catalan club Barcelona. The suppression of the Catalan language and culture by Franco’s regime immediately put Barcelona in opposition to Madrid, the team who seemed to represent the dictator’s regime and some unsavoury match fixing incidents further soured relati***hips and made the rivalry all the more fierce.Probably Madrid’s finest period came between 1955 and 1960 when they won an unprecedented five European Cup’s in a row. This really put the club on the map as a dominant force in Europe and no club has matched the feat since. Probably the finest display came in the 1960 final where they demolished their German opposition, Eintracht Frankfurt, 7-3. Real have since gone on to win the trophy four more times and this total of 9 is better than any other team. Amongst Real Madrid’s domestic honours are a massive 29 league titles and 17 Spanish cup
