sound简单

If that sounds melodramatic, consider this: The Art Directors Guild, a labor union representing about 3,000 film workers, has suspended a training program and issued a statement explaining that “we cannot in good conscience encourage you to pursue our profession.”

如果这听起来有些夸张，那么请想一想：代表约3000名电影从业者的工会——美术指导工会已经暂停了一项培训计划，并发表声明解释说：“我们无法昧着良心鼓励你从事我们这一行。”

That makes it sound easy, and artificial, but Peters insists it is still a massive challenge. He typically takes between 10,000 and 20,000 shots to get one butterfly take-off sequence in focus. At such high shutter speeds, the depth of field is tiny, and as butterflies do not fly in a straight line they swiftly flutter out of focus. As well as thousands of attempts, it takes patience and fieldcraft to anticipate a butterfly’s likely flight-line — and catch it — in focus.

这听起来既简单又人为，但彼得斯坚称这仍是一项巨大的挑战。他通常要拍一万到两万张照片，才能得到一组对焦清晰的蝴蝶起飞序列。在如此高的快门速度下，景深非常小，而且蝴蝶并不沿直线飞行，很快就会扑腾着飞出焦点。除了成千上万次的尝试，还需要耐心和野外经验来预判蝴蝶可能的飞行路线——并在焦点内捕捉到它。

“Reskilling” is something that sounds like a buzzword but is actually a requirement if we plan to have a future in which a lot of would-be workers do not get left behind.

This can also help with understanding them too, because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.

Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, [such as] the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.

后续实验用其他刺激再现了这一效应，比如指甲划黑板的声音和令人恶心的昆虫照片。

Hence it is metaphysical; but the means of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound.
