way to go since well-developed skills, all other factors being equal, can
be the difference between having a job and not.
[參考譯文]但是,對(duì)一個(gè)小部分學(xué)生來說,職業(yè)教育也是條可取的路徑。因?yàn)樵谄渌蛩叵嗤那闆r下,技能的嫻熟是得到工作與否的關(guān)鍵。
62. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry
technique to clone
humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an
experiment-although no one
had proposed to do so--and asked an independent panel of experts chaired
by Princeton
President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with
recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.
[參考譯文]他宣布自己反對(duì)使用這種非同尋常的畜牧繁殖技術(shù)來克隆人類,并下令
. 不準(zhǔn)聯(lián)邦政府基金用于做此類試驗(yàn)--盡管還沒有人建議這么做--他
還請(qǐng)一個(gè)以普林斯頓大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)哈羅得•夏皮羅為首的獨(dú)立的專家組在90
天內(nèi)向白宮匯報(bào)關(guān)于制定有關(guān)克隆人的國家政策的建議。
63. In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May
meeting, Shapiro
suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be
"morally
unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning".
參考譯文]在5月17日的會(huì)議上所討論的這份建議書的序言草案中,夏皮羅提出,
專家組已經(jīng)達(dá)成廣泛共識(shí),那就是"試圖通過成人細(xì)胞核克隆來制造人類幼兒的做法在道德上是不可接受的"。
64. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds
to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for
research or to knowingly endanger an embryo's life, NBAC will remain
silent on embryo research.
[參考譯文]因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)今的聯(lián)邦法律已經(jīng)禁止使用聯(lián)邦基金克隆胚胎(人類后裔在出生
前的最早階段)用于研究或者有意地威脅胚胎的生命,NBAC在胚胎研
究上將保持沉默。
65. If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as
faithfully as the reports in
the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management
to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.
[參考譯文]如果試驗(yàn)是像科學(xué)雜志上的報(bào)告所示的那樣如實(shí)地根據(jù)計(jì)劃規(guī)劃和實(shí)施的話,那么對(duì)管理層來說,期待研究能夠產(chǎn)生可以用金錢衡量的結(jié)果是完全合理的。
66. It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who
know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not
be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register
while the other eye is on the microscope.
[參考譯文]審查者完全有理由相信,知道自己準(zhǔn)備做什么、怎么做的科學(xué)家不應(yīng)該
因?yàn)楸仨氁恢谎鄱⒅浙y機(jī),一只眼盯著顯微鏡而分散了注意力。
67. Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as
desirable to the scientist as the
writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed
for
discriminating against the "odd balls" among researchers in favor of more
conventional
thinkers who "work well with the team."
[參考譯文]如果科學(xué)家對(duì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)式樣的整齊劃一的要求就像他論文的寫作所反映的一
樣,那么管理層就不該因歧視研究者中的"思維與眾不同的人",喜歡其
中較為傳統(tǒng)的"善于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作"的思想者而受到指責(zé)了。
68. The grand mediocrity of today--everyone being the same in survival and
number of off-
spring--means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in
upper-middle-class India
compared to the tribe.
[參考譯文]當(dāng)今人與人在很大程度上的平等--即面對(duì)自然淘汰法則人人機(jī)會(huì)均等,
并且連子嗣的數(shù)目都一樣--意味著和在印度土著部落中的情況相比,
印度中上層階級(jí)中已喪失了80%的自然選擇中的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
69. When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable
to find out what its
advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their
principles may
seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as
normal.
[參考譯文]當(dāng)藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的一個(gè)新運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)展成某種流行時(shí)尚時(shí),最好應(yīng)該弄清這場(chǎng)運(yùn)
動(dòng)倡導(dǎo)者的真正意圖,因?yàn)椋还芩麄兊脑瓌t在今天看來多么牽強(qiáng)無理,
很可能多年以后他們的理論會(huì)被視為正常。
70. With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult,
for whatever Futurist
poetry may be even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be
right--it can
hardly be classed as Literature.
[參考譯文]然而就未來主義詩歌來說,情況則不這么簡(jiǎn)單了,因?yàn)椴还芪磥碇髁x詩
歌是什么--就算承認(rèn)它賴以存在的理論基礎(chǔ)都是正確的--這種形式
也很難被歸入文學(xué)。
71. But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a
certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer
on a bridge off which they both fall into the river--and then to find that
the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the
officers, "Pluff! Pluff!" A hundred and eighty-five kilograms."
[參考譯文]但當(dāng)我們先是從注釋中得知某詩行講述了一個(gè)土耳其軍官和一個(gè)保加利亞軍官在橋上動(dòng)手打架并雙雙掉進(jìn)河里,而后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)該行詩中不過只充
斥著"撲通,撲通,185公斤重"這類對(duì)他們落水時(shí)的動(dòng)靜以及對(duì)軍官們體重的描寫時(shí),我們不免感到困惑不安。
72. The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into
the male- domiated job market have limited the opportunities of teen-agers
who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in
climbing Janpan's rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs.
[參考譯文]戰(zhàn)后嬰兒潮一代的步入成年以及女性打入男性主導(dǎo)的勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)使得青少年的發(fā)展機(jī)會(huì)變得極為有限,他們已經(jīng)在不停地質(zhì)疑為了爬上日本國
內(nèi)那通往優(yōu)秀學(xué)校和體面工作的嚴(yán)酷的社會(huì)階梯而做出的巨大的個(gè)人
犧牲。
73. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised
eyebrows when he
argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation
authorities after World WarII had weakened the "Japanese morality of
respect for parents".
[參考譯文]去年,當(dāng)擔(dān)任教育部長(zhǎng)職務(wù)的瀨戶光夫爭(zhēng)辯說二戰(zhàn)后由美國占領(lǐng)當(dāng)局引
入的自由主義革新削弱了日本民族"尊敬父母的道德品質(zhì)"的時(shí)候,輿論嘩然。
74. With economic growth has come centralization: fully 76 percent of
Japan's 119 million
citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been
abandoned in
favor of isolated, tow-generation households.
[參考譯文]隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng),出現(xiàn)了集中化:全國1.19億公民,其中整整76%的
人口定居城市:在這里,原來的社區(qū)和多代同堂的大家庭已被摒棄,取
而代之的是與外界疏于往來的、只由兩代人組成的核心家庭。
75. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely
shared; and it especially
must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated
not least
a-mong them.
[參考譯文]如果野心的傳統(tǒng)具有生命力,那么這傳統(tǒng)必會(huì)為許多人分享;尤其會(huì)受到自己也受人仰慕的人士的青睞,在這些人中受過良好教育的可不占少數(shù)。
76. Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs
now than formerly.
Summer homes, European travel, BMWs--the locations, place names and name
brands
may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade
or two years ago.
[參考譯文]當(dāng)然,人們現(xiàn)在對(duì)成功及其各種標(biāo)志的興趣似乎并不亞于先前。消夏別墅、歐陸旅行、寶馬車--地點(diǎn)、地名以及品牌或許會(huì)有變化,但這類事物在今天被人渴求的程度也似乎不會(huì)亞于一二十年前。
77. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now
more than ever seem in
ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer
home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star
restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all
phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.
[參考譯文]相反,我們被款待看到這樣一些虛偽的壯觀景象,他們似乎比以前的任
何時(shí)候都更供應(yīng)充足:美國式物質(zhì)主義的批判者卻擁有位于南安普頓的
避暑山莊:激進(jìn)書籍的出版商卻在三星級(jí)餐廳享用一日三餐;倡導(dǎo)在人
生各個(gè)階段的參與民主制的記者,他的子女卻就讀于私立學(xué)校。
78. No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professional and
amateurs in science:
exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word "amateur" does
carry a
connotation that person concerned is not fully integrated into the
scientific community
and, in particular, may not share its values.
[參考譯文]科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)人員和業(yè)余愛好者之間劃不出涇渭分明的界線:因?yàn)槿?/p>
何規(guī)則都有例外。然而,"業(yè)余"一詞的確意味著相關(guān)人員不能充分融入職業(yè)科學(xué)界,尤其未能分享科學(xué)圈子的價(jià)值。
79. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based
especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be
illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United kingdom.
[參考譯文]很自然,這種趨勢(shì)會(huì)在尤以數(shù)學(xué)或?qū)嶒?yàn)室訓(xùn)練為基礎(chǔ)的自然學(xué)科領(lǐng)域表
現(xiàn)最為明顯,并且可以英國的地質(zhì)學(xué)發(fā)展作例證來說明。
80. A comparison of British geological publications over the last century
and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of
research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable
research paper.
[參考譯文]將過去一個(gè)半世紀(jì)英國地質(zhì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的出版物做一下比較,(我們)就會(huì)發(fā)

所包含的內(nèi)容的定義也有所變化。
