基因改造食物安全吗？
- 鼓吹基因改造作物的人说，这类作物不像传统作物，需要的有毒农药较少，对环境有利。但令批评者担忧的是潜在的风险，他们想知道所谓的利益究竟有多少。到底基因改造作物是环保美梦的实现，还是一场正在形成中的灾难？科学家正积极寻找答案。
GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS: Are They Safe?
- Are genetically modified crops an environmental dream come true or a disaster in the making? Scientists are looking for answers
人们对基因改造食物的态度，似乎愈来愈壁垒分明，一边的人支持，另一边的人则是畏惧。支持者宣称，种植基因改造作物对环境伤害较小，而食用这种农作物制成的食品也完全无害。它们还说，基因工程让农作物在T he world seems increasingly divided into those who favor genetically modified (GM) foods and those who fear them. Advocates assert that growing genetically altered crops can be kinder to the
更营养的食物。在不久的未来，全球人口快速膨胀，还得靠这方法解决粮食问题。持怀疑态度者则反驳，基因改造作物对生态环境或人体健康都有极大的风险，令人忧心，不该贸然接受。许多欧洲国家抱持这种态度，因而限制基因改造作物的种植与输入。主要的争议，集中在基因改造食物的安全性。然而，最近的科学研究又是如何看待基因改造食物的危险呢？答案，往往迷失在各种报导的争议中；但是在接下来的篇幅里，它们将呈现在你的眼前。from those plants is perfectly safe. And, they say, genetic engineering －which can induce plants to grow in poor soils or to produce more nutritious foods－will soon become an essential tool for helping to feed the world's burgeoning population. Skeptics contend that GM crops could pose unique risks to the environment and to health－risks too troubling to accept placidly. Taking that view, many European countries are restricting the planting and importation of GM agricultural products. Much of the debate hinges on perceptions of safety. But what exactly does recent scientific research say about the hazards? The answers, too often lost in reports on the controversy, are served up in the pages that follow.
两年前，一群生态骇客冲进苏格兰爱丁堡的一块农田，捣毁了种植的油菜。去年，美国缅因州一处白杨树实验林遭“夜半突袭队”闯入，砍倒了三千多株树。在加州圣地牙哥，抗议人士破坏了高粱作物，并且在温室的墙上喷漆示威。
这些暴行都是针对基因改造作物而来的，但是抗议人士的行动适得其反，因为他们所破坏的，全都是传统农作物。在每个案例里，那些行动派都把一般作物误认为基因改造过的品种。
原因不难理解。世界上已有4400万公顷土地（相当于台湾面积的12.3倍）种植了基改作物，可是从某个角度来看，那些作物都是隐形的。植入农作物的基因，你一个也看不见、尝不出、摸不着，或察觉它对环境的影响。光凭外观，你无从知道含有外源基因的花粉粒是否会毒害蝶儿，或是传播到几公里外使其他植株
Two years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, eco-vandals stormed a field, crushing canola plants. Last year in Maine, midnight raiders hacked down more than 3,000 experimental poplar trees. And in San Diego, protesters smashed sorghum and sprayed paint over greenhouse walls.
This far-flung outrage took aim at genetically modified crops. But the protests backfired: all the destroyed plants were conventionally bred. In each case, activists mistook ordinary plants for GM varieties.
It's easy to understand why. In a way, GM crops－now on some 109 million acres of farmland worldwide －are invisible. You can't see, taste or touch a gene inserted into a plant or sense its effects on the
受精。最令人担忧的正是它的“隐形”。基改作物究竟如何影响环境？我们何时才会注意到这些影响呢？
鼓吹基因改造（或基因转植）作物的人说，这类作物不像传统作物，需要的有毒农药较少，对环境有利。但令批评者担忧的是潜在的风险，他们想知道所谓的利益究竟有多少。“我们对这类作物有太多的疑问，”纽约大学土壤微生物学者史达兹基说，“我们不知道的多着呢，必须找出答案来。”
由于基因改造作物在大地上占据的面积不断倍增，已经有数量空前的科学研究人员散入田野，搜集资讯，填补我们的知识鸿沟。他们最近的发现，有些令人心安，有些则教人不得不提高警觉。environment. You can't tell, just by looking, whether pollen containing a foreign gene can poison butterflies or fertilize plants miles away. That invisibility is precisely what worries people. How, exactly, will GM crops affect the environment－and when will we notice?
Advocates of GM, or transgenic, crops say the plants will benefit the environment by requiring fewer toxic pesticides than conventional crops. But critics fear the potential risks and wonder how big the benefits really are. “We hav e so many questions about these plants,” remarks Guenther Stotzky, a soil microbiologist at New York University. “There's a lot we don't know and need to find out.”
As GM crops multiply in the landscape, unprecedented numbers
of researchers have started fanning
into the fields to get the missing
information. Some of their recent
findings are reassuring; others
suggest a need for vigilance.
土壤中的毒药可以少些？F ewer Poisons in the Soil?
根据估计，美国农夫每一年要喷洒44万公吨的农药，主要是对付昆虫、杂草以及真菌。但是农药残留在农作物上或附近土壤中，然后渗入地下水，流入河川，最后进了野生生物的腹中。这一化学药剂的涓涓之流，早就令环保人士忧虑了。
农产公司自1990年代中开始宣传基改种子，向农友保证可降低有毒农药的用量。如今大部分基改作物都含有抗害虫或耐除草剂的基因，以大豆、玉米、棉花及油菜为主。植入抗虫基因的作物会自行制造杀虫剂，因此可望减少化学药剂的喷洒。耐除草剂的基改作物可耐受广效性除草剂，
Every year u.s. growers shower crops with an estimated 971 million pounds of pesticides, mostly to kill insects, weeds and fungi. But pesticide residues linger on crops and the surrounding soil, leaching into groundwater, running into streams and getting gobbled up by wildlife. The constant chemical trickle is an old worry for environmentalists.
In the mid-1990s agribusinesses began advertising GM seeds that promised to reduce a farmer's use of toxic pesticides. Today most GM
农人就可以摒弃针对特定杂草且毒性更强的化学药剂。农人总是希望尽量少用比较危险的农药，不过基改作物之所以吸引人，是因为劳作手续简化了（降低施用农药的频率及复杂程度），甚至可使产量增加。
但是所谓的“对环境有好处”却不易证实。事实上，还没有任何一篇经过同行专家审查的报告，讨论过那些好处，因为植物不同、地点不同，结果必定随之而变。不过还是有些资讯可供参考，根据美国农业部统计，耐除草剂的作物不见得会降低农药的喷洒量，不过农人将使用比较温和的混合药剂。例如，农人要是种植了耐除草剂的大豆，就会避免使用最毒的杀草剂，而改用毒性弱、分解快的苷磷除草剂。
作物植入抗虫基因，也产生了优劣参半的后果。目前，抗虫害的特性是取自土壤中杆菌苏力菌（Bacillus thuringiensis，下文简称Bt）的一个crops－mainly soybean, corn, cotton and canola－contain genes enabling them to either resist insect pests or tolerate weed-killing herbicides. The insect-resistant varieties make their own insecticide, a property meant to reduce the need for chemical sprays. The herbicidetolerant types survive when exposed to broad-spectrum weed killers, potentially allowing farmers to forgo more poisonous chemicals that target specific weed species. Farmers like to limit the use of more hazardous pesticides when they can, but GM crops also hold appeal because they simplify operations (reducing the frequency and complexity of pesticide applications) and, in some cases, increase yields.
But confirming environmental benefit is tricky. Virtually no

It lies far out where the fabled South Sea Islands are scattered over the huge ocean like stars in the sky. 然而，浩瀚的太平洋最精美之处不在其大陆海岸，也不在沿海诸岛，而是在远离陆地的海域。在那里，富有神奇色彩的南太平洋诸岛像天上的繁星一样散布在广阔的海面上。 7.Circumstances and people are constantly changing.

科技英语翻译的原则_方法及技巧.
翻译是把一种语言里已经表达出来的事物用另一种语言准确流畅地进行重新表达的过程。与其他题材的文章相比,科技专业文章在内容、表达形式和风格上有很大的差别,具有科技性强、专业性强、逻辑严密、表达要求简练的特点,在翻译上力求准确全面、严谨明确和通顺简练。 1科技英语翻译遵循的基本原则 从科技文章的特点来看,大多具有以下几个特征:述说事理、逻辑性强、结构严密、术语繁多,语言严谨、数据精确。这就要求译文必须概念清楚、条理分明、逻辑正确、数据无误,尤其对定义、定律、公式、图表、结论等更应特别注意。科技英语作为特殊英语的一个分支,在词汇构成、遣词造句等方面都有其自身的特点,其语法结构不十分严密、语言习惯和汉语也有不少差别、词汇量大、词语繁多,因此科技英语翻译起来比较困难。另外,科技文章比较重视叙事逻辑上的连贯及表达上的明晰与畅达; 避免行文晦涩,避免表露个人感情,避免论证上的主观随意性。因此,科技英语翻译力求少用或不用描述性形容词以及具有抒情作用的副词、感叹词及疑问词,而是大量使用科技词汇、专业技术用语,译者应尊重客观事实,不能随意改动数据、回避不易翻译的文字,更不能加进自己的主观想象,进行自由翻译。 我国著名翻译家严复提出的“信、达、雅”三准则一直为不少翻译工作者所接受。 “信”指的是译文要忠实于原文,“达”是指译文的通顺达意,“雅”指的是译文的用词修辞。三准则体现了译文和原文信息等值这一基本要领。 “信、达、雅”的翻译准则对各种英语文体的翻译实践都具有指导意义,是衡量一篇译文好坏的标准,也同样适用于科技文献的翻译。由于科技文章特有的文体特征,与其他类文章相比,其“达”和“雅”的内涵不同,它要求在准确传达信息的基础上,使译文更加简洁明快,流畅通顺。2科技英语翻译的基本方法

The development of science and technology makes our life more comfortable and convenient. However, scientists have created many problems, which are not easy to be resolved, such as air pollution, the deterioration of environment and the scarcity of natural resources, to w h i c h w e m u s t s o m e s o l u t i o n s. Modern science and technology render people many advantages. Modern telecommunication shortens the distance between people and makes communication much easier. Internet is widely used now not only for collection of abundant information but also for correspondence. Email, the most effective communication device now, is becoming very popular. Besides, telephone and mobile phone make contact more convenient than before. Modern transportation, such as airplanes and high-speed trains make our journey smooth and fast. With the help of modern transportation, people can go everywhere they prefer to. The journey to outer space and other planets is not a dream any more. Rockets and space shuttles can help us realize the dream of space travel. Modern medicine prolongs peoples life and relieves patients of sufferings from many diseases. Cancer and AIDS are fatal to peoples health. Thanks to the endeavors scientists have made, these diseases become treatable. However, the process of scientific development also arouses many sever problems to our human beings. Internet, though widely used in modern communication, is easy to be destroyed by computer virus. Outer space exploration has produced much waste in the space. A tiny metal, a screw, for example can destroy a flying man-made satellite. Industrialization is making natural resources become scarce. Confronted with these problems, scientists are seeking prompt and feasible solutions. The development of science and technology bring about both positive and negative effects to us. We must eliminate the positive effects to the least extent. 科学技术的发展使我们的生活更加舒适和方便。然而，科学家们创造了许多不容 易解决的问题，如空气污染，环境恶化和自然资源的匮乏，我们必须要有一些解 决办法。 现代科学技术给人们带来许多好处。现代通信缩短了人与人之间的距离，使交流 更容易。互联网不仅被广泛用于收集丰富的信息，而且还用于通信。电子邮件， 现在最有效的通信设备，正在变得非常流行。此外，电话和手机比以前更方便。

We should get familiar with different systems of units. 每次取一个标本测定颜色。 可以肯定，这场石油泄漏事件对波斯湾的生态是个惨重的打击。 我们应该熟悉各种（计量）单位制。 These decision-making processes are applicable to the entire field of engineering design--- not just to mechanical engineering design. Hydrogen instead of air is frequently used for cooling large turbogenerators. When the war was over, it was discovered that the Germans were nowhere near success in developing nuclear weapons. 常以氢气代替空气来冷却大型汽轮发电机。 第二次世界大战结束后，人们发现德国人在研制核武器方面离成功还很远。 这些判定过程可以应用于工程设计的整个领域，而不仅仅限于机械工程设计。 Various precautions have been taken against leakage. Once inside the oven, panels are subjected to a temperature of 365°F. Value is defined as a numerical ratio, the ratio of the function, or performance, to the cost. This new model should appeal to potential buyers. 一旦进入烘干炉，板材就处于365华氏度的温度条件下。 价值的定义是功能或性能与成本的数值比。 已采取了各种措施防止渗漏。 这种新式样对潜在的买主肯定有吸引力。 Galileo’s experiments are not difficul t, nor is there any evidence that he performed them with exceptional skill. Sometimes a scientist observes an object and its features, for example a star or a bird; sometimes he observes an event, which is something that happens at a particular time. Earthquakes are generally more destructive of life than volcanic eruptions. 有时科学家观察一物体及其特征，例如一颗星或一只鸟；有时科学家观察某一事件，即在一特定时间所发生的事。 地震对于生命的破坏通常大于火山爆发。 伽利略的实验并不难，也没有证据表明他是以非凡的技能来做实验的。 Heat should be applied slowly to avoid localized overheating. How rapidly a fuel burns depends on how thoroughly it is mixed with oxygen or air. This is why a coil is often referred to as an inductor. 一种燃料燃烧的速度有多快，取决于它与氧气或空气混合的均匀程度。 这就是线圈常被叫做电感器的原因。 应当慢慢加热，以避免发生局部过热现象。 第3节翻译练习2 Practically all of the useful properties of materials are strongly dependent on their internal structure.
