《原理》一书让牛顿收获了荣誉，本书从数学角度向世人阐述了天体的运动轨迹以及令其公转重要的作用力——万有引力~~~

书本的朗读语音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好学着模仿哦~~~！！
因为原著为美国人所写,单词采用美式拼法,不抄全文,然后听写单词或词组(用[-No-]表示)以及句子(用[---No---]表示)。请边听写边理解文意，根据上下文注意各句标号，这样有助于提高正确率。

Once in a great while
For the rest of his life he would be draped with plaudits and honors, becoming, among much else, the first person in Britain knighted for scientific achievement.

It not only explained mathematically the orbits of heavenly bodies, but also identified the attractive force that got them moving in the first place, gravity.
极其偶然，历史也只有过几次吧，有人作出如此敏锐而又出人意料的观察，人们无法确定究竟哪个更加惊人--是那个事实还是他的思想。《原理》的问世就是这样的一个时刻。它顿时使牛顿闻名遐迩。在他的余生里，他将生活在赞扬声和荣誉堆里，尤其成了英国因科学成就而被封为爵士的第一人。连伟大的德国数学家戈特弗里德•莱布尼兹也认为，他对数学的贡献比得上在他之前的所有成就的总和，尽管在谁先发明微积分的问题上，牛顿曾跟他进行过长期而又激烈的斗争。"没有任何凡人比牛顿本人更接近神。"哈雷深有感触地写道。他的同时代人以及此后的许多别人对此一直怀有同感。
《原理》一直被称为"最难看懂的书之一"（牛顿故意把书写得很难，那样就不会被他所谓的数学"门外汉"纠缠不休），但对看得懂的人来说，它是一盏明灯。它不仅从数学的角度解释了天体的轨道，而且指出了使天体运行的引力--万有引力。突然之间，宇宙里的每种运动都说得通了。
