老俞課堂：2009年英語六級考試經(jīng)典100句

　　98. It is impossible to say simply for the fun and exercise: as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are around. 沒有可能僅僅為了娛樂或鍛煉而運動：一旦有了問題，一旦你覺得你輸了你和你所屬團體會有失體面時，你最野蠻的好斗本能就會被激發(fā)出來。

　　99. It has been found that certain bats emit squeaks and by receiving the echoes, they can locate and steer clear of obstacles——or locate flying insects on which they feed. This echo-location in bats is often compared with radar, the principle of which is similar. 人們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，某些蝙蝠發(fā)出尖叫聲并靠接受回響來鎖定和避免障礙物——或者找到它們賴以為生的昆蟲。蝙蝠這種回響定位法常拿來和原理與之很相近似的雷達相比。

　　100. As the time and cost of making a clip drop to a few days and a few hundred dollars, engineers may soon be free to let their imaginations soar without being penalized by expensive failure. 隨著芯片制造時間和費用降低到了幾天和幾百美元，工程師們可能很快可以任他們的想象馳騁而不會被昂貴的失敗所懲罰。
