2020年11月13日，18级材创班《科技发展史》脱口秀展示大赛在一个愉快的周五夜晚举行。本次脱口秀比赛由《科技发展史》外籍教师Tong Zhang和Alfred Nordmann教授以及各小组组长组成评审团。虽然受疫情影响，本次比赛线上进行，但同学们热情不减，摩拳擦掌，早早就开始准备，整场脱口秀精彩纷呈，笑点频频。通过本次活动同学们不仅仅收获了欢乐，同时还开拓了在科学技术发展方面的视野，体会到了科学探索历程的艰辛与趣事，更激发了自身的发明创造动力。
On November 13, 2020, the third-year students of Innovation Class of Materials Science and Engineering took part in the Talk Show Competition on the Development History of Science and Technology on a happy Friday night. Dr. Tong Zhang, Professor Alfred Nordmann, and team leaders of each group served as the talk show competition judges. The whole talk show night was full of excitement and laughter. Through this activity, the students not only derived pleasure but also broadened their horizons, realized the hardships and exciting events in the scientific movements, and inspired their own creativity.

晚上7点，Nordmann教授介绍了比赛评分规则,并宣布比赛正式开始。脱口秀比赛中，参赛学生自行组成8人一组，基于科学技术发展过程自由选题，表演后回答评委以及观众的问题。展示内容包罗万象，丰富多彩，既包括烧脑的哲学谜团“先有鸡还是先有蛋”，又包括爆笑对话“别闹了，费曼先生”，笑看“搞笑诺贝尔奖”；既包括商业性质的“苹果手机爱与恨”，也包括科学前沿的“以太发展史”。最后，陈明庆与何明杰两人合作带来了一场英文相声。他们以一场荡气回肠的史诗攻城战为载体，使用一系列精心准备的各种段子，包袱不断，调动了不同文化背景的观众，将整个脱口秀推向了高潮。
At 7 in the evening, Professor Nordmann introduced the competition’s rubrics and officially announced the opening. Students formed groups of eight, chose their topics based on the development history of science and technology, and answered the judges' and the audience's questions after their shows. The topics are comprehensive and colorful, including not only the philosophical mystery of brain-burning "chicken or egg first" but also the hilarious dialogue "surely, you are joking, Mr. Feynman"; not just the commercial history on "love and hate of Apple mobile phone" but also the "the mysteriously unstoppable ether" at the frontiers of science. Finally, Tars and Michael gave entertaining English crosstalk together. With a stirring epic siege battle as the carrier, they used various interactive skills with punchlines, which mobilized audiences of different cultural backgrounds and pushed the whole talk show into a new high.

激动人心结果在11月17日公布，Tong Zhang和Nordamnn教授高度评价这次脱口秀，称其既凸显了同学们独特的批判性精神，也展现了大家富有感染力的展示技巧。最终，几个组略胜一筹，半人马组的“别闹了，费曼先生”获得第二名，其幽默且具启发性的对话告诉我们即使生活很悲观、压力很大，也应让生活丰富多彩，富有诗意；美人鱼组凭借全手绘的漫画型插图以及环环相扣的以太发展进程获得了本次脱口秀的第一名！
The competition results were announced on November 17. Dr. Zhang and Professor Nordamnn spoke highly of the talk show, claiming that it had shown the unique critical spirit and infectious display skills of ISAM students. In the end, several groups were slightly better and got the prize. The Centaur group won second place by "Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynman". Their humorous and enlightening dialogues have inspired us to make our lives colorful and poetic, even if it is pessimistic and stressful. The Mermaid group on "the mysteriously unstoppable ether" won first place in this talk show competition by its entirely hand-painted caricatures and the logic, deep thinking of the development of ether!

在这次脱口秀以及《科学技术发展史》的学习过程中，相比其他专业课的基础知识学习，同学们更加深刻地体会到科学历程的艰辛与轶事，了解历史发展规律，激发出无限的想象力和创造动力，以期更好地探寻新的未知世界。
Compared with other theoretical courses, the talk show competition and the course on the history of science and technology have helped students experience the hardships and anecdotes of scientific movements and understand the laws of the historical development of science, stimulating their imagination and creativity.
