ubiquitous adj. 到处存在的，无处不在的，十分普遍的

　　indistinguishable a. 难区分的，不能分辨的

　　So when Hugh McGuire, founder of PressBooks and LibriVox, stated today that the book and the internet will merge, he was in one sense simply reiterating what is already the case. But from the perspective of people without the technical knowledge to see how closely entwined the book and the internet already are, it has the whiff of yet another doom-monger proclaiming the death of the book as we know it.

　　merge v.[I] 1.合并，融合 2.消失 3.吞没

　　entwine vt.1.使缠绕 2.使交错;使紧密结合 vi. 缠绕;纠缠在一起

　　McGuires argument hinges on the recent emergence of ebooks as a serious contender to the print book as the dominant artefact of the publishing industry, with some suggesting that ebooks will make up 50% of the book market by 2015 thanks to the Kindle, iPad and smartphones. Ebooks are deliberately packaged and marketed to appear as much like traditional print books as possible, so many readers will be surprised to discover that ebooks are built around much the same HTML structure that powers the web. Every ebook, no matter how much like a print book it may seem, is a web page that we read on the simplified browser embedded in our e-reader of choice.

　　hinge n. [C]1.铰链 2.枢纽,关键,中心 vt. 1.给...安装铰链[H] vi. 1.靠铰链转动2.决定于[W][]
