雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe an intelligent person you know 聪明人/智慧的人

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

该题目回答的关键在于intelligent的定义。它既可以指那些为人类科学发展做出重大贡献的人，如霍金、杨振宁、屠呦呦等;也可以指那些掌握了许多知识，并能够将它们应用出来的人，如医生，工程师等。甚至还可以指那些解决了之前一直存在的难题的普通人。他们可能是自己的朋友、亲戚或者是自己在书中读到的人物。这些都可以作为大家在该问题中所描述的对象。

题目

Describe an intelligent person you know

You should say:

Who this person was

How old this person is

What he does

and explain why you think he or she was intelligent

参考答案

The person I am going to tell you is Stephen Hawking, a world-renowned scientist. He was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author. He was also the director of a research department and the professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.

我要告诉你的人是史蒂芬·霍金，一位世界闻名的科学家。他是一名英国理论物理学家，宇宙学家以及作家。他也曾是剑桥大学一个研究部门的主任，以及数学系的教授。

When he was 21st, he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, which affects and causes the deaths of neurons that control the brain and the spinal cord. At first, the doctor predicted that he could only live for another two years. But he kept fighting and did not die until 2018 when he was 76 years old.

当他21岁的时候，他被诊断患有运动神经疾病。这会逐渐影响并导致控制大脑和脊柱的神经的死亡。一开始，医生预测他只能再活两年。但他持续抗争，直到2018年才去世，享年76岁。

Stephen Hawking had done profound work in physics, especially in the theories about the university and the black hole. Due to my limitation of knowledge, I could not understand his various researches and conclusions, but from the reports on the newspapers and comments of other scientists, I know he made a great contribution to the development of cutting-edge physical theories.

史蒂芬·霍金在物理学方面进行了深入的研究，尤其是在关于宇宙和黑洞的理论方面。由于我知识的局限，我并不能理解他各种各样的研究和结论，但从报纸上的报道和其他科学家的评论中，我知道他为前沿物理理论的发展做出了巨大的贡献。

However, what makes me think he was intelligent is not his research, but his several works of popular science. He magically turns those boring, complex figures and equations into something the general public can understand and arouses their interest into this subject, which is amazing.

然而，让我觉得他聪明的并不是他的研究，而是他写的几本科普读物。他将无聊、复杂的数字和公式变成普通大众能够理解的东西，并且激发了他们对该学科的兴趣。这太神奇了。
