VenusInstituteofTechnology 人物 Venusianscientists 事由 pressconferenceonthefeasibilityofamannedflyingsaucerlandingonEarth 同时又交代了课文的叙事角度 VenusianswhoareexploringthepossibilityoflifeonEarth 和文体特征 落笔无痕 VenusInstituteofTechnology来于MassachusettsInstituteofTechnology 美国麻省理工学院 暗喻课文中金星人的科研已经达到很高的水准 其权威性毋容置疑 幽默中增添一份诙谐接着 课文以对话的形式展开 既是记者招待会的事情写照 也有利于读者领会和欣赏作者如何幽默地描写地球环境验证污染的现状 课文的结尾别具匠心 是金星人队到地球来探险的意义所作的一句解释 干净利落 戛然而止 言已尽而意犹存 自然地呼应了标题 地球上还 能 有生命吗 这是一篇幽默讽刺小品 作者用科幻小说的文体形式 假想金星人成功地把一颗科学探测卫星送到地球 并根据卫星传回的信息研究地球 最终得出结论 地球上没有生命存在 全文采用极度夸张而不失依据 移花接木却不理出处的艺术手法 令读者在体验滑稽 荒诞的阅读氛围的同时 亦感受作者认真严肃的创作态度和制造捧腹幽默的文笔功力 从而掩卷沉思 切入主题 人类已经严重地污染了自身的生存环境 如果再不采取措施 人类可能自我毁灭 Keystoexercises4 extremely hazard pollute originally indicate survive atmosphere conclusion proceed conference5
