things like baskets and pictures don’t survive in the earth the same way like potterys do.
答案：
things like baskets and pictures don’t survive in the earth in the same way like pots do.

“Pots” 和 “pottery” 这两个词都与陶器有关，但它们在含义和用法上有所不同：

1. Pots (陶罐，锅):

   • 含义: “Pots” 指的是通常用来装食物或其他物品的容器，通常是有盖的深容器。可以是用于烹饪的锅，或是用于储物的陶器容器。
   • 示例: “I need to buy a new pot for cooking soup.”（我需要买一个新锅来做汤。）

2. Pottery (陶器，陶艺):

   • 含义: “Pottery” 是一个更广泛的词，指的是由泥土或粘土制成的所有陶器作品，包括陶罐、陶碗、陶盘等。此外，”pottery” 也可以指陶艺的艺术形式或制作陶器的工艺。
   • 示例: “She is learning pottery to make her own vases.”（她正在学习陶艺，制作自己的花瓶。）

总结来说，”pots” 是具体指某一类陶器（如锅或罐），而 “pottery” 则是指陶器的总体或陶艺的制作过程。

they still provide a lot of information about the past.

答案：
there’s no doubt that pottery has given archaeologists
a fascinating insight into how ancient humans lived.

archaeologists
fascinating

8

The shape of the artifact may have been lost, but archaeologists can tell whether the pots were for, say,
storage or cooking by examining the impressions on the clay, that scratches from the tools,
and the clay itself can reveal where the pots came from .

9

When I ask people why they want to take a pottery class with me, they sometimes talk about these things.

10

like arm sisters, they hope that something they create will also last longer than they do
and they work ——whether it’s good or not ——might say something about humanity many years after their death.

答案：
like our ancestor, …

11

of course, you will all have your own reasons for coming here

12

As far as I concerned, what I love most is the concentration you need to make a good pot.
That focus takes you away from the stresses of everyday life

13

If you elderly, it’s also a good exercise for hands and risks, and helps for writers and

答案：

现在我们在工作室里。环顾四周——有很多活动在进行。

20

To make pottery that will last, you need to a poters will, a kel which is basiclly a very hot oven where you fire the pottery and simp tool
答案：
To make pottery that will last, you need to a potter's wheel, a kiln which is basically a very hot oven where you fire the pottery and some tools.

要制作持久的陶器，你需要一个陶轮、一个窑——基本上是一个非常热的烤箱，用来烧制陶器——以及一些工具

21

so first, the kiln. If you look over in the far corner, you will see one of ours.
首先是窑。如果你看远处的角落，你会看到我们的一台窑。

22

Since the invention, the kiln have changed very little.
Though in the past 20 years, A lot of progress has been made in temperature control.
答案：
Since their invention, kilns have changed very little.
Though in the past 20 years, a lot of progress has been made in temperature control.

23

Basiclly, a kiln removes the water from clay at temperatures of around a 1000 degrees Celsius.
This allows anything you’ve made to set permanently in shape.

24

It’s a pretty ugly heavy object that’s hard to keep in a house or flat.
So most people don’t have one.

25

you may think “can’t I use my oven?”
well, that’s possible, but domestic ovens don’t really get hot enough,
and eventually the clay will crack and fall apart.

26

Some people fire pottery in a firepit outside, but bear in mind that can be dangerous.
答案：
Some people fire pottery in a fire pit outside, but bear in mind that can be dangerous.

fire pit火坑

答案：
you also need to know about safety procedules for kilns as they release toxic compounds into the air.

28

Every potter needs a potter's wheel.
This machine is used to shape the clay into an object with circular walls or size
such as a bowl

29

It’s invention revolutionized the pottery industry, allowing multipal item to be produce in a day.
答案：
It’s invention revolutionised the pottery industry, allowing multiple items to be produced in a day.
它的发明彻底改变了陶艺行业，使得一天内可以生产出多个物品。

30

Lastly, there are a number of different tools that potters use, depending on what they want to make.

31

when you start, your hands can make all kinds of shapes of carves without relaying on a sulpting tool.

答案：
when you start, your hands can make all kinds of shapes of curves without relaying on a sculpting tool.
当你开始时，你的双手可以在不依赖雕塑工具的情况下制作各种形状和曲线。

32

However, there are some basic tool that you will need to handle the clay on the wheel, some look very strange and have even odder name you may find hard to remember

33

rather than go through them old now,
I just need a few tools as we go alone,
we can provide these and I wouldn’t recommend spending money on them yet.
答案：
rather than go through them all now,
I just name a few tools as we go alone,
we can provide these and I wouldn’t recommend spending money on them yet.
我不会现在全部讲解，而是会在我们进行过程中提到一些工具。我们可以提供这些工具，不建议你现在花钱购买。

答案：
I know. And it’s the same all over the world——the downside of a modern lifestyle I guess.
我知道。而且全世界都是这样——我猜这是现代生活方式带来的负面影响。

5

答案：
I’d assumed it was mainly an issue for the elderly —— but in fact it’s something which affects young people just as much.
我原以为这主要是老年人的问题，但事实上，这对年轻人也有同样的影响。

6

So nothing really to do with longer lifespends,
what about social media?
In my case, far from making me isolated. It actually does opposite.
嗯。所以这与寿命延长无关。那社交媒体呢？对我来说，社交媒体不仅没有让我感到孤立，恰恰相反。

7

It definetly does more good than harm, I’d say loneliness has a lot to do with the way cities are designed,
people living in horose flat with much opportunity to speak to their neighbours.
答案：
It definetly does more good than harm, I’d say loneliness has a lot to do with the way cities are designed,
people living in high-rise flats with not much opportunity to speak to their neighbours.

它肯定利大于弊。我认为孤独与城市设计有很大关系——人们住在高层公寓里，几乎没有机会与邻居交谈。

8、9

I think you are right

another possible reason,is the people are having a few children,
and don’t live in large extended family group.
答案：
another possible reason is that people are having fewer children,
and don’t live in large extended family groups.

另一个可能的原因是人们生育的孩子越来越少，不再生活在大家庭中。

10

But in this country anywhy, that’s all changed decades ago, and yet loneliness is a more recent problem.
但是，至少在这个国家，这种情况几十年前就已经改变了，而孤独却是最近才出现的问题。

11

I supposed so, and more applousible explanation is that people that having to moving around for work,
and ofen end up living miles away from that family and friends.

答案：I supposed so, and more plausible explanation is that people are having to move around for work
and often end up living miles away from their family and friends.

我想也是。一个更合理的解释是人们为了工作不得不搬来搬去，往往最终住在离家人和朋友很远的地方。

12

That’s true
looking at studys on health risks and loneliness, there are claim that loneliness has as much impact
smoking 15 a day.

答案：
Looking at the studies on health riks and loneliness, there are claims that loneliness has as much impact as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
通过对健康风险和孤独感的研究，有人声称孤独感的影响与每天吸15支烟一样大。

13

Or similar to the risks called by obesity,
but I’m not sure that’s for some of the claims.
答案：
Or similar to the risks caused by obesity,
but I’m not sure there’s enough evidence for some of these claims.

You are right about that one, I was actually thinking of the studies on dementia.
Some found no association between loneliness and dementia and others found the opposite.

16

not exactly reliable then.
That’s been a lot research on Culti disease and loneliness contribute to that
答案：
Not exactly reliable then.
That’s been a lot of research on cardiovascular disease and whether loneliness contributes to that.
那就不太可靠了。关于心血管疾病和孤独是否会导致心血管疾病的研究也很多。

17

Yes, I read it was hard to reach judgement as the definition of loneliness vary quite a lot,
was too subjective
but that’s no doubt that loneliness contribute to a weak immune system.

答案：
Yes, I read that it was hard to reach a judgement as the definition of loneliness varied quite a lot,
and the responses from participants was too subjective.
but that’s no doubt that loneliness contributes to a weakened immune system.
是的，我读到很难得出结论，因为孤独的定义差异很大，参与者的回答也太主观了。但毫无疑问，孤独会导致免疫系统减弱。

18

questionably the data on that sound.
答案：
unquestionably. The data on that is sound.
毫无疑问。这方面的数据是可靠的。

sound 完备的，全面的；完好的

19

what do you think about the evolution theory of lonelines.
答案：
what did you think about the evolutionary theory of lonelines?
你对孤独的进化理论怎么看？

20

I thought that idea that loneliness because it motivited people to be with other people quit convincing
survival often depended on group of cooperation
答案：
I thought the idea that loneliness evolved because it motivated people to be with other people quite convincing.
survival often depended on group cooperation.
嗯，我觉得孤独进化的原因是它促使人们与他人在一起，这个观点很有说服力。生存往往依赖于群体合作。

21

but I don’t think that is enough evidence to claim that there must a group of neutrons in our brains which influence social behavior, by making us feel bad when we are alone.

但我不认为有足够的证据表明我们大脑中一定有一组神经元会通过让我们感到孤独来影响社交行为。

22

There are few studies which support the theory, but not conclusively enough, more evidence is needed

23

And anywhy, these theory not really useful when it comes to solving the problem of loneliness today.
答案：
And anywhy, this theory’s not really useful when it comes to solving the problem of loneliness today.
嗯。而且无论如何，这个理论对解决今天的孤独问题并没有太大帮助。

26

should we look at the relationship between loneliness and mental health now?

27

ok, so loneliness and depression are clearly related, and that’s been reconized by varies gorverment suround the world.
but unlike the depression, loneliness has no recognized cani form.

答案：
ok, so loneliness and depression are clearly related and that’s been recognised by various governments around the world.
but unlike depression, loneliness has no recognised clinical form.
好的。孤独和抑郁显然是相关的，这已经被世界各国政府认可。但与抑郁不同，孤独没有公认的临床形式。

28

There’s no available diagnosis or afactive treatments, that’s not likely to change.
答案：
There’s no available diagnosis or effective treatment, and that’s not likely to change.

29

I don’t think so ethier.
I was thinking we should start our presentation with an example from our own experience.
I’d like to talk about how lonely I was when I started university. Been away from home for the first time all that.

30

good idea, everyone will be able to relate to that.
although a lot of students will probobally too embarrased to admit to it.
答案：
although a lot of students were probably too embarrassed to admit to it.

31

we could discuss with dealing with loneliness as well, like just talk to strangers.
答案：
we could discuss ways of dealing with loneliness as well. Like just talking to strangers.

32

lots of studies have show that interaction with shop systems and bus staff
make people feel more optimistic and relaxed.
答案：
loads of studies have shown that interactions with shop assistants and bar staff
make people feel more optimistic and relaxed.

33

I don’t know about that.
but it’s must make people feel more connected with that community.
我不确定，但这肯定会让人感到与社区更加联系在一起。

34

True, althrough you need to be a certain kind of person to be able to just strike up a conversation.
确实。虽然你需要是那种能够随时随地与人交谈的人。

strike up a conversation搭讪

35

good point.
We should say something about solitude, and how being alone and being lonely aren't the same thing.
It’s strange the way some people can’t stand being by themselves while others love it.
好点子。我们应该说一下独处和孤独不是一回事。有些人不能忍受独处，而另一些人则喜欢独处，这很奇怪。

36

yeah, the research shows certain amount of solitude is beneficial for well-being, which I appreciate ——
but being alone isn’t something I actually like,
I never choose to go on holiday alone, for example.
是的。研究表明，适量的独处对健康有益，我能理解这一点——但独处并不是我喜欢的事情。例如，我绝不会选择一个人去度假。
