Part One 词汇笔记
（题外话：Introduction的内容似曾相识，和安妮口语班的一次练习scientific method基本重合，再次见到reasoning，observation，experiment，thought，empirical evidence blabla莫名亲切，但是已经忘记Galileo Galilei的读音，所以要记得温故而知新。）

5.falsify the theory
To falsify is to alter or mangle something, like a message or document, in a way that distorts the meaning.*Since false things aren't true, to falsify something is to dishonestly change its meaning. If a friend tells you a story, and then you retell the story but change important facts, you falsified the story. If you lie in court — commit perjury — you're falsifying the facts. Faking someone else's signature is another type of falsifying, as is lying on your resume. Anytime you misrepresent the truth, you're falsifying.*篡改，伪造（文字记录、信息）

感言：还有复述班的作业没完成，所以今天没有做完的笔记留到明天继续。
同时上两个班不容易，要调整作息，把记忆力好的零碎片刻留给复述，沉下心的时间留给精读。怀挺!
