这个攻击并不光明磊

落，它让我不得不抛弃了那份引人注目的工作。尽管 ，在表面上，我还要以一个

蒙受屈辱的政府部长的姿态，宣称

< /p>

我只不过是想多和家人呆在一起

，掩盖我

的退出。

I

have

discovered,

as

perhaps

Kelsey

will

after

her

much-publicized

resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that

abandoning the doctrine of

alternative move into

than financial success and social status.

凯尔 西不堪积劳重负，公开地辞去她在《她》杂志社的编辑一职，之后她发

现：放弃那种

为生活忙碌

的人生 信条，转而追求比较悠闲的生活，这带给你的

回报远远大于赚大钱和社会地位。我也意识 到了这一点。

7. While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic

decline -- after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late

'80s

-

and

is

still

linked

to

the

politics

of

thrift,

in

Britain,

at

least

among

the

middle- class

down

shifters

of

my

acquaintance,

we

have

different

reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.

在美国，

这一返朴趋势是因经济的衰落而开始的 ——那是在八十年代末期裁

员而引起大量的失业之后一一这种趋势还和提倡节俭的政纲相 关

;

而在英国，最

起码在我所熟识的中 产阶级返朴归隐者中，追求简约生活的原因就多种多样了。

8. For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling

through the '90s, down-shifting in the mid' 90s is not so much a search

for the mythical good lift- growing your own organic vegetables, and

risking

turning

into

one

--

as

a

personal

recognition

of

your

limitations.

对于我这一代曾在整个九十年代为生活奔波的女人来说，

90

年代中期出现的

归隐恬退与其说是寻求一种神话般的美好生活——用有机肥种植蔬菜，< /p>

并且冒着

放弃一切的风险——不如说是我们清醒地认识到了自己能 力有限。

9. If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will

be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common

to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark

about the inedible canteen food or the chairman' s notorious bad taste

in ties.

如果你是你讲话对象群体中的一员，

那么你就能够了解你们普遍都有的经历

那么顺口评价一下餐厅中难以下咽的食物、

或是老总总所周知的恶俗领

带品位也并非不合适。

10. There are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of

brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy -- far greater

precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands

alone.

现在已有一些机器人系统能够进行精确到毫米以 下的脑部和骨骼手术——

这要比极具技巧的医生单单靠双手做手术精确得多。

,

for

a

small

group

of

students,

professional

training

might

be

the

way

to

go

since

well- developed

skills,

all

other

factors

being

equal,

can be the difference between having a job and not.

但是，对一个小部分学生来说，专业培训也是条可取的路径。因为在其他因

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.

他宣布自己 反对使用这种非同寻常的畜牧繁殖技术来克隆人类，

并下令联邦

政府基金不得被用于此类试验——尽管还没有人要求这么做——他还请一个以

普林斯顿大 学校长哈罗得·夏皮罗为首的独立的专家组在

90

天内向白宫汇 报关

于制定有关克隆人的国家政策的建议。

3.

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

adult nuclear cloning

在

5

月

17

日的会议上所讨论 的这份建议书的序言草案中，夏皮罗提出，专

家组已经达成广泛共识，那就是

试图通过成人细胞核克隆来制造人类幼儿的做

法在 道德上是不可接受的

。

4.

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.

因为现今的联邦法律已经禁止使用联邦基金克隆胚胎

(

人类的后代在出生前

最早的阶段

< br>)

用于研究、或者用于有意地威胁胚胎的生命，

NBAC

在胚胎研究上将

保持沉默。

5. 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.

如果试验是像科学杂志上的报告所示的那样如实地根据规划实施的话，

那么< /p>

对管理层来说，期待研究能够产生有经济效应的结果是完全合理的。

6.

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.

审查者完全有理由相信，

知道自己准备做什么、

怎么做的科学家不会因为必

须 一直关注着他们的进账而分散了实验的注意力。

7. 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

balls

among

researchers

in

favor

of

more

conventional

thinkers

who

well with the team.

如果科学家在做实验时跟在写报告时一样步骤规范、

遵守要求，

那么管理层

就不该因歧视研究者中

< br>

思维与众不同的人

、喜欢其中思 想较为传统的

善于团

队合作

的人而受到指责了。

8.

The

grand

mediocrity

of

today--everyone

being

the

same

in

survival

and

number

of

offspring--means

that

natural

selection

has

lost

80%

of

its

power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribe.
