商业托福阅读：星球大战第八章(2)
Oblivious to the altercation, Luke stood frozen in the middle of the hold. He held an activated lightsaber in position over his head. A low hum came from the ancient instrument while Luke lunged and parried under Ben Kenobi’s instructive gaze. As Solo glanced from time to time at Luke’s awkward movements, his lean features were sprinkled with smugness."No, Luke, you cuts should flow, not be so choppy," Kenobi instructed gently.
"Remember, the force is omnipresent. It envelops you as it radiates from you. A Jedi warrior can actually feel the force as a physical thing." "It is an energy field, then?" Luke inquired.
"It’s an energy field and something more," Kenobi went on, almost mystically.
"An aura that at once controls and obeys. It is a nothingness that can accomplish miracles." He looked thoughtful for a moment.
"No one, not even the Jedi scientists, were able to truly define the force.
Possibly no one ever will. Sometimes there is as much magic as science in the explanations of the force. Yet what is a magician but a practicing theorist? Now, let’s try again." The old man was hefting a silvery globe about the size of a man’s fist. It was covered with fine antennae, some as delicate as those of a moth. He flipped it toward Luke and watched as it halted a couple of meters away from the boy’s face.
