大家论坛职称英语版块：/forum-109-1.html LEDs are completely different from the light bulbs. Most of those glass bulbs belong to a type called incandescent lights. Inside, electricity heats a metal coil to about 2,200 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, bulbs give off light we can see. Ninety percent of energy produced by incandescent lights, however, is heat -- and invisible. With all that wasted energy, bulbs burn out quickly. They are also easily broken. LEDs, on the other hand, are like tiny pieces of rock made up of molecules that are arranged in a crystal structure. When an electric current passes through an LED, the crystal structure produces light. Unlike incandescent bulbs, they can produce light of various colors. Within an LED, the type of molecules and their particular arrangement determines what color is produced. 词汇：portable／p:t?bl／adj．轻便的，手提式的 light-emitting diode (LED) 发光二极管 bulb / blb／n．灯泡；球状物 incandescent /,nk?ndes?nt／adj. 白灼的 coil / kl /n．线圈，卷，圈 molecule /mlikju:l /n.分子注释： 1．Sierra Madre mountain range of west central Mexico：墨西哥中西部的马德雷山脉。Sierra一词在西班牙语中本身就包含了“山脉”的意思，确切地说是“呈齿状起伏的山脉”，因为在西班牙语中Sierra有“锯子”的意思。 2．Huichol people：维克人。他们是居住在墨西哥中西部地区马德雷山脉的土著印地安人。该地区山路崎岖，所以西班牙人未涉足于此，墨西哥文化也没能影响维克人的土著文化。据估计，维克印地安人现仅存约一万人。 3．string power lines:架设输电线 4．Now，a team of scientists… is using：a team of scientists可以视作单数，也可以视作复数。本句用作单数，所以后接的谓语动词是is。 5．At the core of：此处the core of意为the basic or most important part of（最重要的部分）。 6.At the core of Portable Light technology are devices called high-brightness light-emitting diodes, or HB LEDs：本句是倒装句，主语是“devices called high-brightness light-emitting diodes, or HB LEDs”，谓语动词是“are。 high-brightness light-emitting diodes可译为“高亮度发光二极管。 练习: 1.
