A flow chart, like this one, shows how a process begins and ends, and the steps in between.
流程图,如图所示,展示了一个流程如何开始、结束,以及中间的步骤。
The process can be of almost any kind, from manufacturing a tire to creating an advertisement.
流程几乎可以是任何类型,从制造轮胎到制作广告。
Therefore, learning how to describe and explain a process in English is important.

(1) A flow chart, like this one, shows how a process begins and ends, and the steps in between.
(2) The process can be of almost any kind, fro mmanufacturing a tire to creating an advertisement.
(3) Therefore, learning how to describe and explain a process in English is important.
(4) It's important for teachers, engineers, and people who provide customer support.
One process that we are all familiar with is our body's circulatory system.
我们所有人都熟悉的一个过程就是人体的循环系统。
This system provides oxygen throughout the body and eliminates carbon dioxide, which is a waste product.
该系统为全身提供氧气,并排出二氧化碳这一废物。
If something goes wrong with this system, we need to repair it quickly, or we die.
如果这个系统出现问题,我们需要迅速修复,否则就会死亡。
So it's important to understand it and keep it functioning properly.
因此,理解它并保持其正常运转非常重要。
What happens with something goes wrong with the sysetem can't be repaired? -If it can't be repaired, we will die.
It's important to keep it functioning properly or we will die.
It's important for teachers, engineers, and people who provide customer support.
First, the most important requirement for the system to work is a supply of air.
首先,该系统运行最重要的条件是空气供应。
Without fresh air with sufficient oxygen, the process won't keep us healthy and alive.
没有富含足够氧气的新鲜空气,这一过程将无法维持我们的健康与生命。
So the process begins by breathing in air, which happens when the lungs expand and draw in air.
因此流程始于吸入空气——当肺部扩张时空气被吸入体内。
Once inside the lungs, oxygen in the air is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the blood.
空气进入肺部后,其中的氧气与血液中的二氧化碳进行交换。
This exchange happens when blood cells release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen.
这一交换发生在血细胞释放二氧化碳并吸收氧气时。
This blood is now oxygenated blood, which means it carries oxygen.
此时的血液已成为含氧血,意味着它携带着氧气。
What kind of blood is oxygenated blood?--- it carries oxygen .
(1) After exchanging CO2 fox oxygen,oxygenated blood flows to the heart.
(2) From the heart it is pumped to the rest of the body.
(3) The carbon dioxide which was exchanged for oxygen is breathed out.
(4) This happens when the lungs contract.
To summarize, the process begins by inhaling air and oxygenating the blood.
概括来说,该过程始于吸入空气并使血液充氧。
The oxygenated blood in the lungs then flows back to the heart.
肺部充氧后的血液随后流回心脏。
The CO2 which came from the blood is exhaled, and the next cycle begins.
血液中的二氧化碳被呼出,下一个循环随之开始。
Where does the CO2 come from? -blood that comes from the heart
Note that the blood in the lungs flows in a loop from the heart.
需注意,肺部的血液以循环方式来自心脏。
The blood which enters the loop from the heart carries carbon dioxide.
从心脏进入循环的血液携带二氧化碳。
Once the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, the blood continues through the loop and exits into the heart.
当二氧化碳与氧气交换后,血液继续循环并流回心脏。
The oxygenated blood is then pumped to the rest of the body.
随后,含氧血液被泵送至身体其他部位。
What happens to the oxygenated blood after flows to the heart? - It pumps to the rest of the body.
To stay healthy and alive, we need fresh air with sufficient oxygen.
The system won't work without a supply of air.
From the heart it is pumped to the rest of the body.
L5-U3-P2-2 Listening : The Circulatory System 2循环系统 2
As you can see, everything depends on the flow of blood to and from the heart.
如你所见,一切都依赖于血液流向心脏和从心脏流出。
So how does the heart do this?
那么心脏是如何做到这一点的呢?
First, the heart, which is a muscle, has 4 chambers.
首先,心脏是一个肌肉组织,它拥有四个腔室。
From one chamber, blood is pumped to the lungs.
血液从一个腔室被泵送到肺部。
This is the blood that carries carbon dioxide.
这部分血液携带着二氧化碳。
When the oxygenated blood from the lungs comes back to the heart, it enters another chamber.
当来自肺部的富氧血液返回心脏时,它会进入另一个腔室。
This chamber is called the left atrium.
这个腔室被称为左心房。
In addition to a supply of air, the circulatory system ...depends on the flow of blood to and from the heart.
(1) First, the heart, which is a muscle, has 4 chambers.
(2) From one chamber, blood is pumped to the lungs.
(3) This is the blood that carries carbon dioxide.
(4) When the oxygenated blood from the lungs comes back to the heart, it enters another chamber.
From the left atrium, the oxygenated blood is pumped into another chamber, the left ventricle.
富氧血液从左心房被泵入另一个腔室——左心室。
The left ventricle then pumps the blood into the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body.
左心室随后将血液泵入主动脉,这是人体最大的动脉。
From the aorta, the oxygenated blood passes through a network of smaller arteries throughout the entire body, including the brain.
富氧血液从主动脉出发,通过遍布全身(包括大脑)的细小动脉网络输送。
Blood returns to the heart through a system of veins and enters the upper right chamber, the right atrium.
血液通过静脉系统流回心脏,并进入右上方的腔室——右心房。
What does the heart use to pump blood throughout the body?- a network of arteries and veins
From the left atrium, the oxygenated blood is pumped into another chamber, the left ventricle.The left ventricle then pumps the blood into the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body.From the aorta, the oxygenated blood passes through a network of smaller arteries throughout the entire body, including the brain.
Now that we understand a little about the circulatory system, we can ask what it needs to operate.
既然我们对循环系统有了一些了解,就可以问问它需要什么来运转。
Of course it can't operate without energy.
当然,没有能量它就无法运转。
This energy is supplied by another system, the digestive system, which gets energy from food.
这种能量由另一个系统——消化系统提供,它从食物中获取能量。
And of course these systems need to be supported and controlled.
当然,这些系统需要得到支撑和控制。
Our skeletal system provides support, and our muscular system provides control and movement.
我们的骨骼系统提供支撑,而肌肉系统则提供控制和运动。
Without support and movement, we couldn't get the food that we need for energy.
没有支撑和运动,我们就无法获取我们所需的能量食物。
Only plants can do this because they have a completely different system, which gets energy directly from the sun.
只有植物能做到这一点,因为它们有一个完全不同的系统,可以直接从太阳获取能量。
What provides physical support for our bodies? -the skeletal system
Without support and movement, we couldn't get the food that we need for energy. Only plants can do this because they have a completely different system, which gets
To summarize, the human body is like a huge, complex factory.
总而言之,人体就像一个巨大而复杂的工厂。
The language we use to describe how it functions is the same language we use to describe almost any industrial process.
我们用来描述其功能的语言,与描述几乎所有工业流程的语言是相同的。
The vocabulary is different, but the processes, flows and logical relationships are almost identical.
虽然词汇不同,但流程、流向和逻辑关系几乎是一样的。
Think of some familiar process in your life or job and see if you can describe and explain it in English.
想一想你生活或工作中某个熟悉的过程,看看你是否能用英语描述和解释它。
The human body is like a huge, complex factory. The language we use to describe how it functions is the same language we use to describe almost any industrial process. The vocabulary is different, but the processes, flows and logical relationships are almost identical.
