Unit 2 Text Electric Power System Para.1 Electric power system, components that transform other types of energy into electrical energy and transmit this energy to a consumer. 电力系统就是把其他能量转化成电能并传送到用户的由各种组成部分所组成的系统。 “components that transform ...” 是对Electric power system的解释说明，此结构常见于科技文章开头，相当于表达定义的一种形式。 1. component 分量；元件； 部分，成分，组件 alternating component cell component circuit component condenser component Para.2 A modern electric power system consists of six main components: 1. the power station 发电站 2. transformers to raise... 升压变压器 3. transmission lines 输电线路 4. substations 变电所 5. distribution lines 配电线路 6. transformers that lower...降压变压器 Para.2 voltage volt ( V ) kilovolt ( Kv ) ...the substation at which the power is stepped down to the voltage on the distribution lines... 逐渐降低配电线路电压的变电站 step down ? step up step down the power step down the voltage 2. substation 变电所 auxiliary substation distributing substation house substation primary substation 2. transmit v. n. transmission percentage 百分率，百分比 percentage of accuracy percentage of damage percentage of moisture A large percentage of the crop has spoiled. Para. 4 Transformer step this voltage up to values ranging from 138,000 to 765,000 V for the long-distance primary transmission line because higher voltages can be transmitted more efficiently over long distances. 在远距离的电力传输中，电压越高，其传输的效率也越高，因此，使用变压器可以把第一级传输线电压增大到138千伏至765千伏。 Para. 5 The lines of high-voltage transmission systems are usually composed of wires of copper, aluminum, or copper-clad or aluminum-clad steel, which are suspended from tall latticework of towers of steel by strings of porcelain insulators. be composed of 由...组成 1) Concrete is composed of cement, sand and gravel mixed with water. 2) England, Scotland and Wales compose the island of Great Britain. latticework n.网格,,格子,,栅格结构 lattice-steel tower 网络式钢制塔架
