Görev Genel Bakışı

Okuma Parçası

In 1912 a bookseller named Wilfrid M. Voynich acquired a beautifully illustrated handwritten book (manuscript) written on vellum (vellum is a material that was used for writing before the introduction of paper). The “Voynich manuscript,” as it became known, resembles manuscripts written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. However, it is written in a completely unknown script. To date, no one has been able to decode the script and understand the book’s content. Several theories have been proposed to explain the origin of the Voynich manuscript.One theory is that the manuscript is a genuine work on some scientific or magical subject composed in a complex secret code. Anthony Ascham, a sixteenth-century physician and botanist, has been identified as a possible author, since many plant illustrations in the Voynich manuscript are quite similar to those in Ascham’s book on medicinal plants, A Little Herbal, published in 1550.According to some other theories, the manuscript is really a fake and its text has no real meaning. For example, it has been proposed the manuscript was created by Edward Kelley, a sixteenth-century personality who extracted money from nobles across Europe by pretending to have magical powers. Kelley may have created the manuscript as a fake magical book to sell to a wealthy noble. He used a made-up alphabet in a completely random order. It looks like a book of magical secrets, but there is no meaningful underlying text.Another theory is that the manuscript is actually a modern fake created by Wilfrid M. Voynich himself. As an antique book dealer, Voynich certainly had the knowledge of what old manuscripts should look like and could have created a fake one. Perhaps Voynich’s plan was to sell the fake as a mysterious old book if he received an attractive offer.

In the reading material, the author cites three theories to illustrate the origin of the mysterious manuscripts. The lecturer in the listening material, on the other hand, argues that all theories proposed are unconvincing, which casts doubt on each claim made in the reading respectively. To begin with, the reading passage suggests that the author of the manuscript maybe a famous physician and botanist, who used the code to document medicinal plants. Conversely, the lecturer believes that there are flaws in the author’s position, claiming in the lecture that it was not likely for an ordinary scientist whose book didn't contain any original idea to create such important manuscript.Moreover, the plant descriptions in his books are quite common with well-known sources so that it's not necessary to use such an elaborate secret language to record them. Combining Ascham's characteristic with the feature of his books, we can jump into the conclusion that he was not the author of the code. Secondly, the author indicates that the manuscript might be a made-up alphabet with no real meaning whereas the lecturer proves that this statement is indefensible by pointing out that the creator took good care of these codes and compiled them with great effort. He goes on to say that it was unnecessary to do so much work to construct such a complex alphabet system in sake of money because people in the sixteenth-century were too easy to fool. Finally,the third theory proposed by the author is that the manuscript is a modern fake to disguise a mysterious old book. Obviously, the lecturer’s argument disproves its counterpart in the reading, forcefully presenting that the modern technology certifies that the manuscript material was dated from 400 years ago with the old vellum and ink. If it is a trick made by the modern antique book dealer, the question to the source of the ink which was made several centuries ago can't be answered by the hypothesis.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

In the reading material, the author presents three theories regarding the origin of the enigmatic Voynich manuscript. However, the lecturer in the listening material contends that all proposed theories are implausible, casting doubt on each claim made in the reading respectively.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that Anthony Ascham, a renowned physician and botanist, may have authored the manuscript using a coded language to document medicinal plants. In contrast, the lecturer argues that this theory is flawed. He posits that it is unlikely for an ordinary scientist, whose work contained no original ideas, to create such an important manuscript. Furthermore, he points out that Ascham's plant descriptions were based on common knowledge and well-known sources; thus, it would be unnecessary to employ such an elaborate secret language for recording them. Taking into account Ascham's characteristics and his books' features, it can be concluded that he was not the author of this coded manuscript.

Secondly, the author proposes that Edward Kelley might have created a fake manuscript with a made-up alphabet devoid of any real meaning. The lecturer refutes this claim by emphasizing that whoever created these codes took great care in crafting them with considerable effort. He asserts that constructing such a complex alphabet system solely for monetary gain would have been unnecessary since people in the sixteenth century were easily deceived.

Lastly, the third theory put forth by the author posits that Wilfrid M. Voynich himself created a modern forgery of an ancient mysterious book. The lecturer effectively disproves this notion by highlighting modern technology's ability to date both vellum and ink used in creating manuscripts; in this case, they were found to be at least 400 years old. This evidence raises questions about how Voynich could have obtained centuries-old ink if he had indeed forged this manuscript as a modern antique book dealer.

Overall, the lecturer's arguments challenge each of the theories presented in the reading passage, casting doubt on their validity and leaving the true origin of the Voynich manuscript still shrouded in mystery. (340 words)

In the lecture, the author gives out several statements of the original of the Voynich manuscript. Disputing the passage's argument, the professor points out three reasons listed as follows. First, the author states that the content of Voynich manuscript is about scientific or magical subject composed in a complex secret code when it comes to be similar with Ascham's book. However, the professor contradicts this idea in terms of Ascham himself. As Ascham is an ordinary person working on common plants, it is unlikely for him to be the author who demonstrates a command of such complex kind of knowledge. Second, the author cites a theory that Kelley created this book that serving the purpose of making money. Nevertheless, the professor indicates that it is in fact that people in general public at that time were easy to be fooled, which means it is not possible for Kelley to put a lot of work in creating just for interests. Last, the author asserts that Voynich make this object himself to sell, but the professor finds that the ink was from 400 years ago. Considering its existence, there is no denying that Voynich is unable to obtain it and make a fake manuscript.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

In the lecture, the speaker presents several counterarguments to the theories regarding the origin of the Voynich manuscript as proposed in the reading passage. The professor effectively challenges each theory with compelling evidence.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that Anthony Ascham, a sixteenth-century physician and botanist, could be the author of the Voynich manuscript due to similarities between its plant illustrations and those in Ascham's book, A Little Herbal. However, the lecturer disputes this notion by highlighting that Ascham was an ordinary scientist whose works were based on well-known sources and lacked original ideas. Consequently, it seems implausible for him to have authored such a complex and secretive document.

Secondly, the passage posits that Edward Kelley may have created the manuscript as a fake magical book to deceive wealthy nobles for financial gain. Contrarily, the speaker points out that people during Kelley's time were easily fooled; thus, there would be no need for him to invest considerable effort into crafting such an intricate manuscript when a simpler one would have sufficed.

Lastly, while the reading suggests that Wilfrid M. Voynich himself might have fabricated the manuscript as a mysterious antique book to sell at a high price, this theory is debunked by the lecturer's revelation that both vellum pages and ink used in creating it are at least 400 years old. This fact renders it impossible for Voynich to have acquired such ancient materials and produced a counterfeit document.

In summary, each theory presented in the reading passage is effectively challenged by evidence provided in the lecture. The true origin of the enigmatic Voynich manuscript remains an unsolved mystery. (272 words)

Both the reading and the lecture are about the origin of the Voynich manuscript. The reading outlines three possible theories to explain the origin. However, the speaker opposes the idea and presents counterarguments that challenged the passage. Firstly, the passage implies that the manuscript might be an authentic work on medicinal plants wrote by Anthony Ascham. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes that Ascham's book did not contain any important or innovative things needed to keep secret. The speaker takes little herbals as example, she points out that the books was not a original idea; in fact, it based on other resources. Therefore, the first theory is firmly unconvincing. Secondly, the reading mentions that the manuscript may be a fake, which was created by Edward Kelley in order to earn money. However, the speaker argues that it is unnecessary to make such a complicated manuscript to sell ancient people who would not observe the details. To be more specific, If the manuscript was used to extract money from nobles, Kelley did not need to make a lot of efforts on the manuscript. Last but not least, the passage points out that the manuscript might be a modern fake created by Wilfrid M. Voynich, who probably received an appealing offer. In contrast, the lecturer questions the possibility by suggesting that the page and ink of Voynich manuscript were dated to at least 400 years ago. Furthermore, Voynich must not use the ancient page and ink to create the manuscript, because there were no place having these materials. As a result, Voynich manuscript might be produced centuries ago before he obtained it.

Firstly, the passage suggests that the manuscript might be an authentic work on medicinal plants authored by Anthony Ascham. However, the lecturer refutes this by stating that Ascham's books did not contain any significant or innovative information that would warrant being kept secret. The speaker cites Little Herbal as an example, pointing out that it was not an original idea but rather based on other sources. Consequently, the first theory is deemed unconvincing.

Secondly, the reading posits that the manuscript may be a forgery created by Edward Kelley to earn money. Contrarily, the speaker argues that it would have been unnecessary to craft such a complex manuscript to deceive people in ancient times who were less likely to scrutinize details. Specifically, if Kelley intended to extract money from nobles using a fake manuscript, he would not have needed to invest so much effort into its creation.

Lastly, the passage proposes that the manuscript could be a modern forgery crafted by Wilfrid M. Voynich after receiving an attractive offer. In opposition, the lecturer questions this possibility by asserting that both the pages and ink of the Voynich manuscript have been dated to at least 400 years ago using modern methods. Furthermore, it would have been implausible for Voynich to use ancient materials in creating a forgery since obtaining such materials would have been extremely difficult. As a result, it is more likely that the Voynich manuscript was produced centuries before Voynich acquired it. (278 words)

Both the reading and the lecture are about discuss the origin of the Voynich manuscript. The reading outlines presents three possible theories to explain the origin. However, the speaker opposes the idea and presents its origin, while the lecturer challenges each theory with counterarguments that challenged the passage.

The lecturer disputes the three potential owners of the Voynich manuscript mentioned in the reading passage, by providing more convincing explanations and counterarguments. Firstly, contrary to the assertion that the manuscript came from a genius and it needed a fantastic code to protect its powerful and important contents from being discovered, the lecturer disagrees with this notion by stating that according to the biography of Anthony Ascham, who is an average botanist, most of his books recorded knowledge regarding common plants and referred to well-known publishments. Thus, he didn't need to use code to hide these recordings. Moving to the second point, the lecturer refutes the assumption that this manuscript was created by Edward Kelley to fool people by positing that there were countless simple means to deceive people in the sixteenth-century, so he didn't need to invest such huge efforts and time and money to achieve this tricky goal. Furthermore, the reading passage claims that it is a modern fake produced by Voynich who is familiar with old books and has the capability to make a fake one. While, the lecture challenges these arguments by providing a more nuanced perspective that based on scientific discoveries, the ink and pages used in this book come from 400 years ago before Voynich's era. And it is impossible for him to obtain a bottle of ink far before his age to create a fake book.

6.文章修订

The lecturer disputes the three potential authors of the Voynich manuscript mentioned in the reading passage, providing compelling counterarguments and explanations.

Firstly, the lecturer challenges the theory that the manuscript was written by a genius using a secret code to protect its valuable contents. He argues that Anthony Ascham, an ordinary botanist whose works mainly focused on common plants and were based on well-known sources, would not have needed to employ such a complex code to conceal his findings. This contradicts the assertion that Ascham could be the author of this enigmatic manuscript.

Regarding the second theory, which suggests Edward Kelley created the manuscript as a hoax, the lecturer counters this argument by stating that during the sixteenth century, there were numerous simpler ways to deceive people. Consequently, it would have been unnecessary for Kelley to invest significant time and effort into crafting such an intricate fake when a less elaborate book would have sufficed for his deceptive purposes.

Lastly, the reading passage posits that Wilfrid M. Voynich himself may have fabricated the manuscript as a modern forgery. However, the lecturer refutes this claim by presenting evidence from scientific analysis which demonstrates that both the ink and vellum used in the manuscript are at least 400 years old, predating Voynich's time. This fact makes it highly improbable for Voynich to have created this enigmatic book since obtaining such ancient ink would have been virtually impossible.

By addressing each theory presented in the reading passage and offering persuasive counterarguments based on historical context and scientific evidence, the lecturer effectively casts doubt on all three proposed explanations for the origin of the mysterious Voynich manuscript. (274 words)

The reading passage presents several theories regarding the authorship of the Voynich manuscript, while the lecture casts doubt on their validity and plausibility. The lecturer provides counterarguments that challenge the claims made in the reading passage.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that Anthony Ascham might be the author of the manuscript due to similarities between plant illustrations found in both his book and the manuscript. However, the lecturer contends that Ascham was an ordinary botanist whose work contained basic and general information, making it unlikely for him to write a manuscript employing a highly specialized code.

Secondly, the reading passage posits that Edward Kelley could have created this manuscript as a fake magical book to deceive wealthy nobles. In contrast, the lecturer explains that people in ancient times were easily fooled; thus, if Kelley's intention was merely to create counterfeit books, there would be no need for him to develop such an intricate code—a much simpler version would suffice.

Lastly, the author proposes that Wilfrid M. Voynich himself created a modern fake as an antique book dealer with knowledge of how to forge old manuscripts. The lecturer disputes this claim by highlighting that examinations of both vellum and ink used in the book date back 400 years. Even if Voynich were able to acquire vellum from that era, obtaining ink of similar age would be virtually impossible. (230 words)

The reading passage listed three people and proposes them to be the candidates of the author of the Voynich manuscript. However, the lecture contradicts the proposal, and regarding it hardly true. Firstly, the reading passage suggests that Anthony Ascham be the author of the manuscript, because the plant illustrations on his book, A Little Herbal, are very resemble to the medical plants on the manuscript. Nevertheless, the professor disputes the idea, because whoever created that manuscript must be conveying very important and potent message that needed to be coded. While Anthony Ascham, who was an ordinary physician and botanist and his book, A Little Herbal, was based on other well-known sources. Hence, he cannot be the author of the manuscript. Secondly, the reading passage proposes Edward Kelley to be the author of the manuscript, because he was well-known for his ability to trick people and may make up the manuscript to fool the wealthy noble in the 16th century in order to extract money. On the contray, the professor opposes to this explanation, because although Edward Kelley was good at tricking, it is obvious that whoever has made that manuscript must have spent much care. While in light of the foolish of the 16th century people, there was no need for Edward Kelley to put so much effort in faking a manuscript rather than creating a simple one that also could extract money from the nobles. Eventually, the reading passage put forward Wilfrid M. Voynich himself to be the author, because he is an antique book dealer himself that he is completely capable of faking the manuscript. In contrast, the professor refutes the proposal, because owing to the modern technology, scientists are able to identify the exact time where the manuscript from. It turns out that both the ink and the paper were from four hundreds of years ago. Providing that the paper can be obtained from other books that from the same time, the ink is definitely no place to gain, which makes it clear that Wilfrid M. Voynich himself is not the author the manuscript but one from centuries ago. Considering all the evidence stated by the professor, what renders clearly is that none of those three person mentioned in the reading passage are possible for the author of the manuscript.

  1. 语法批改

The reading passage listed three people and proposes them to be the candidates of the author of the VoynichVoice(misspelling) manuscript. However, the lecture contradicts the proposal, and regarding it hardly true.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that Anthony AschamAssam(misspelling) be the author of the manuscript, because the plant illustrations on his book, A Little Herbal, are very resemble to the medical plants on the manuscript. Nevertheless, the professor disputes the idea, because whoever created that manuscript must be conveying verya very(This rule identifies whether the article 'a' is missing in a sentence.) important and potent message that needed to be coded. While Anthony AschamAssam(misspelling), who was an ordinary physician and botanist and his book, A Little Herbal, was based on other well-known sources. Hence, he cannot be the author of the manuscript.

Secondly, the reading passage proposes Edward Kelley to be the author of the manuscript, because he was well-known for his ability to trick people and may make up the manuscript to fool the wealthy noble in the 16th century in order to extract money. On the contraycontrary(misspelling), the professor opposes to this explanation, because although Edward Kelley was good at tricking, it is obvious that whoever has made that manuscript must have spent much care. WhileWhile,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) in light of the foolish[No Replacement Word Found](ARTICLE ADJECTIVE of) of the 16th century people, there was no need for Edward Kelley to put so much effort in faking a manuscript rather than creating a simple one that also could extract money from the nobles.

Eventually, the reading passage put forward WilfridWilfred(misspelling) M. Voynich himself to be the author, because he is an antique book dealer himself that he is completely capable of faking the manuscript. In contrast, the professor refutes the proposal, because owing to the modern technology, scientists are able to identify the exact time wheretime when(where/when) the manuscript from. It turns out that both the ink and the paper were from four hundreds offour hundred(Plural form of numbers in 'two dozens of' (two dozen)) years ago. Providing that the paper can be obtained from other books that from the same time, the ink is definitely no place to gain, which makes it clear that WilfridWilfred(misspelling) M. Voynich himself is not the author theof the(This rule identifies whether the preposition 'of' is missing in a sentence.) manuscript but one from centuries ago.

Considering all the evidence stated by the professor, what renders clearly is that none of those three person mentioned in the reading passage are possible for the author of the manuscript.

6.文章修订

The reading passage presents three potential authors for the Voynich manuscript, but the lecture refutes each of these proposals, deeming them highly unlikely.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that Anthony Ascham could be the author of the manuscript due to similarities between plant illustrations in his book, A Little Herbal, and those in the Voynich manuscript. However, the professor disputes this idea, arguing that the creator of the Voynich manuscript must have been conveying crucial or powerful information that warranted a coded message. Ascham was an ordinary physician and botanist whose book A Little Herbal was based on other well-known sources. Given what is known about Ascham's background and his work, it seems improbable that he authored such an intricately coded document.

Secondly, the reading passage proposes Edward Kelley as a potential author of the manuscript since he was notorious for deceiving people and may have fabricated the manuscript to swindle wealthy nobles in the 16th century. Contrarily, the professor contends that although Kelley was skilled at trickery, it is evident that whoever created this manuscript invested significant care into its construction. Considering how easily people were fooled during this time period, there would have been no need for Kelley to exert such effort in forging a complex manuscript when a simpler one could have achieved his objective just as effectively.

Lastly, Wilfrid M. Voynich himself is proposed as a possible author by the reading passage due to his expertise as an antique book dealer and his capability to fabricate such a document. In opposition to this theory, the professor asserts that modern technology has allowed scientists to determine both ink and paper used in creating this manuscript date back at least 400 years ago. While it is conceivable that Voynich could have obtained vellum pages from other books originating from that time period, acquiring ink from four centuries ago would be virtually impossible. This evidence suggests that the Voynich manuscript was created long before Voynich himself obtained it.

Taking into account the evidence provided by the professor, it becomes apparent that none of the three individuals mentioned in the reading passage are plausible candidates for authorship of the Voynich manuscript. (362 words)
