尺素寸心(节选)

余光中

回信,固然可畏,不回信,也绝非什么乐事。书架上经常叠着百多封未回之信,“债龄”或长或短,长的甚至一年以上,那样的压力,也绝非一个普通的罪徒所能负担的。一叠未回的信,就像一群不散的阴魂,在我罪深孽重的心底幢幢作祟。理论上说来,这些信当然是要回的。我可以坦然向天发誓,在我清醒的时刻,我绝未存心不回人信。问题出在技术上。给我一整个夏夜的空闲,我该先回一年半前的那封信呢,还是七个月前的这封信?隔了这么久,恐怕连谢罪自谴的有效期也早过了吧。在朋友的心目中,你早已沦为不值得计较的妄人。“莫名其妙!”是你在江湖上一致的评语。

其实,即使终于鼓起全部的道德勇气,坐在桌前,准备偿付信债于万一,也不是轻易能如愿的。七零八落的新简旧信,漫无规则地充塞在书架上,抽屉里,有的回过,有的未回,“只在此山中,云深不知处”,要找到你决心要回的那一封,耗费的时间和精力,往往数倍于回信本身。再想象朋友接信时的表情,不是喜出望外,而是余怒重炽,你那一点决心就整个崩溃了。你的债,永无清偿之日。不回信,绝不等于忘了朋友,正如世上绝无忘了债主的负债人。在你惶恐的深处,恶魇的尽头,隐隐约约,永远潜伏着这位朋友的怒眉和冷眼,不,你永远忘不了他。你真正忘掉的,而且忘得那么心安理得,是那些已经得到你回信的朋友。我的译文:

An Excerpt from Unanswered Letters vs Unbounded Friendship

By Yu Guangzhong

Answering letters does make me flinch; however, not answering them allows me no release at all. Dozens of unanswered letters pile up on my bookshelf, like a sum of debt waiting to be paid. Some have been waiting there for over one year, while some have newly arrived. The pressure from paying off that debt is far beyond what a junior debtor can endure. The stack of unanswered letters are, like a group of haunting ghosts, continually pestering my guilt-loaded soul. Generally, the letters will certainly be replied to. I can even swear by heaven that never do I have the intention not to reply when my mind is clear. The problem is how to reply. Even if I spared myself a whole summer night, I would be wavering on which letter to reply to first, the 18-month-old one or the 7-month-old? The reply has been delayed for so long that I’m afr aid even heartfelt apology and self-accusation have already become overdue. In friends’ heart, I’ve been marginalized as a cocky man unworthy of care. “Unaccountable”! That is their unanimous comment on me.

In fact, even though I pull myself together and settle down at the desk, ready to pay off the debt, my determination will easily be split up by doubts. Old and new letters, answered or yet-to-be, cram the shelf and the drawer in disorder, which reminds me of two verses: “He’s simply in the very moun tain. In the depths of clouds, his whereabouts are unknown.” (from Calling on a Hermit in Vain by Jia Dao). Picking out the letter I decide to answer from such a mess will cost as multiplied time and energy as answering the letter does. Moreover, on visualizing the facial expression of friends when they receive the reply —rekindled lingering anger rather than surprised delight —my tiny amount of determination dwindle into naught. Consequently, the date when my debt is paid off extends into eternity. Altho ugh I haven’t answered the letters, I can never forget my friends, any more than a debtor can forget his creditor. In the depth of my disturbed and apologetic heart looms the indelible angry and icy look of my friends. Never can I forget them. Friends who really fall into oblivion, from which guilt is totally absent, are those who have received my reply.

David Pollard的译文:

Thus Friends Absent Speak

Written by Yu Guangzhong and Translated by David Pollard

If it is conceded that replying to letters is to be dreaded, on the other hand not replying to letters is by no means a matter of unalloyed bliss. Normally a hundred or so letters are stacked on my bookshelf, of diverse maturity of debt outstanding, the longest being over a year. That kind of pressure is more than an ordinary sinner can bear. A stack of unanswered letters battens on me like a bevy of plaintive ghosts and plays havoc with my smitten conscience. In principle the letters are there for replying to. I can swear in all honesty that I have never while of sound mind determined not to answer people’s letters. The problem is a technical one. Suppose I had a whole summer night at my disposal: should I first answer the letter that was sent eighteen months ago, or that one that was sent seven months ago? After such a long delay even the expiry date for apology and self-recrimination would surely have passed? In your friends’ eyes, you have already stepped beyond the pale, are of no account. On the grapevine your reputation is “that impossible fellow”.

Actually even if you screw up all your moral courage and settle down at you desk to pay off your letter debt come what may, the thing is easier said than done. Old epistles and new missives are jumbled up together and stuffed in the drawers or strewn on shelves; some have been answered, some not. As the poet was told about the recluse he was looking for: “I know he’s in these mountains, but in this mist I can’t tell where.” The time and energy you would spend to find the letter you have decided to answer would be several times that needed to write the reply itself. If you went on to anticipate that your friend’s reaction to receiving your letter would be less “surprised by joy” than “resentment rekindled”, then your marrow would turn to water, a nd your debt would never be cleared.

To leave letters unanswered is not equivalent to forgetting friends, no more than it is conceivable that debtors can forget their creditors. At the bottom of such disquietude, at the end of your nightmares, there forever lurks the shadowy presence of this friend with his angry frown and baleful looks: no, you can never forget him. Those who you really put out of your mind, and do so without qualm, are those friends who have already been replied to.

Note:“尺素寸心”假如直译则不达,只好用对策。“尺素寸心”代表书信,最好是找同样代表书信的英语成语或名句。Thus friends absent speak出于John Donne的To Sir Henry Wotton一书。终生遗憾

八十年代,有一姑娘号召:1.70米以下的男人均为“残废”。于是全国未婚女青年纷纷揭竿而起。

我细细量过九十九次自己标高,实属“终生残废”系列。

但那时年少,血旺气盛,誓与凡俗抗争到底,于是连哄带骗将一净高1.74米的女孩拐回家做了太太,这一壮举颇为“残疾人”们扬了一段眉吐了半口气。

将太太置回家中后我才意识到我的悲哀,这一愤世之举不仅未了我“终生残废”而又平添了“终生遗憾”,我从未享受过将男人坚定有力的胳膊窝勾着太太姣美柔滑的后脖子上街遛弯的幸福。

这一幸福对我来说不仅意味着双脚要离开这生我养我的土地,而且神圣的肚脐亦将昭之于众。

现在,每每出门,高扬的手臂牢牢地挂在太太肩头,其状如猴子紧紧扒着电杆,任凭太太在马路上将我拖来拖去……

痛苦的我常常痛苦地想,如果能重活一回,我再也不与世俗去抗争,因为与世俗抗争是要付出代价的。

Lifetime Regret

In the 1980s, one young lady issued a public pronouncement dismissing all men under the height of 1.70 metres as “handicapped “. It was met with an avalanche of responses from virtually all unmarried women in the nation.

After making perennial efforts to measure my exact height, I reached the inescapable conclusion that I was permanently handicapped. Back in those days, I was a callow young chap vastly capable of daring and fool-hardiness, and determined to wrestle with this prejudice against men’s lack of height .So by hook or by crook, I married a girl who was 1.74 metres in height. Such an astonishing tour de force thus achieved greatly bolstered the morale and esteem of those of us who were “handicapped”.

But only after the girl was enticed into matrimony did I begin to feel my self-inflicted anguish. This over-reaction of mine not only failed to put an end to my “permanent handicap”, but also gave me lifetime regret. I was deprived of the earthly pleasure of walking with my wife in the street with my strong arm around her delicate neck because it meant that my feet would be lifted from the land that had nurtured me, and worse still, my sacred belly-button would be put on public display.

What happens now is that whenever we go out together, with my outstretched arms tightly clinging to my wife’s shoulder, I am pretty much like a monkey hanging on to a wire pole, allowing her to drag my along the street…

In excruciating agony, I often ponder this: if I could live my life once again, I would never try to achieve the elimination of prejudices of any kind for the simple reason that there is a price to pay.

Sept.11 delivered both a shock and a surprise—the attack and our response to it—and we can argue forever over which mattered more. There had been so much talk of the goodness that erupted that day that we forget how unprepared we were for it. We did not expect much from a generation that had spent its middle age examining all the ways it failed to measure up to the one that had come before—all fat, no muscle, less a beacon to the world than a bully, drunk on blessings taken for granted.

It was tempting to say that Sept. 11 changed all that, just as it is tempting to say that every hero needs a villain, and goodness needs evil as its grinding stone. But try looking a window in the eye and talking about all the good that has come of this. It may not be a coincidence, but neither is it a partnership: good does not need evil, we owe no debt to demons and the attack did not make us better. It was an occasion to discover what we already were. “Maybe the purpose of all this,” New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said at a funeral for a friend, “is to find out if America today is as strong as when we fought for our independence or when we fought for ourselves as a Union to end slavery or as strong as our fathers and grandfathers who fought to rid the world of Nazism”. The terrorists, he argues, were counting on our cowardice. They’ve learned a lot abo ut us since then. And so have we.

For leading that lesson, for having more faith in us than we had in ourselves, for being brave when required and rude where appropriate and tender without being trite, for not sleeping and not

quitting and not shrinking from the pain all around him, Rudy Giuliani, Mayor of the World, is TIME’s 2001 Person of the Year.

911事件让我们措手不及,也令我们震惊不已。如果要问袭击造成的影响和我们做出的反应,哪一个更有讨论意义,可能永远也没有办法给出答案。四面八方传颂着当天涌现的英勇感人事迹,我们却忘记了自己疏于防备而不堪一击。我们本没有对这一代人期待太多,因为我们看到的是他们花去壮年时期反复考察他们不及上一代人的原因。结果落得大腹便便,看不到一丝一毫的力量与活力。他们自以为是世界的航标,其实是身在福中不知福的恃强凌弱者。 911事件以后想必他们对我们有了很多了解。当然我们对自己也有了不少认识。 朱利安尼在参加一个朋友的葬礼时这样说道:“也许这一切的目的是要我们看到当今的美国仍像我们为独立而战时一样强大;当今的美国仍像我们为推翻奴隶制而团结奋战时一样强大;当今的美国仍像我们的父辈为粉碎纳粹而战时一样强大。”他指出,恐怖主义分子希望我们怯懦,从9 11事件中表现出的正义。这次也许并不是一个巧合。正义与邪恶也不是相互依存,正义不需要邪恶陪伴。我们也不欠这些恶棍什么。这次袭击也没有让我们变得更好。这是一个我们自省的机会。纽约市市长鲁迪 11死难者遗孀的眼睛,谈谈9 11事件改变了这一切,正如同我们会脱口而出说每一个英雄都需要一个反面人物来衬托,正义需要邪恶来砥砺。但试着看看9 我们也许会脱口而出9

他以身作则,比我们自己更信任我们。必须时挺身而出,必要时态度强硬,充满柔情又不落俗套,废寝忘食,苦难当前毫不退缩。他就是朱利安尼,全世界最出色的市长,《时代》周刊2001年度人物.

Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points) It was only after I started to write a weekly column about the medical journals, and began to read scientific papers from beginning to end, that I realised just how bad much of the medical literature frequently was. I came to recognise various signs of a bad paper: the kind of paper that purports to show that people who eat more than one kilo of broccoli a week were 1.17 times more likely than those who eat less to suffer late in life from pernicious anaemia. (46) There is a great deal of this kind of nonsense in the medical journals which, when taken up by broadcasters and the lay press, generates both health scares and short-lived dietary enthusiasms. Why is so much bad science published? A recent paper, titled “The Natural Selection of Bad Science”, published on the Royal Society’s open science website, attempts to answer this intriguing and important question. It says that the problem is not merely that people do bad science, but that our current system of career advancement positively encourages it. What is important is not truth, but publication, which has become almost an end in itself. There has been a kind of inflationary process at work: (47) nowadays anyone applying for a research post has to have published twice the number of papers that would have been required for the same post only 10 years ago. Never mind the quality, then, count the number. (48) Attempts have been made to curb this tendency, for example, by trying to incorporate some measure of quality as well as quantity int o the assessment of an applicant’s papers. This is the famed citation index, that is to say the number of times a paper has been quoted elsewhere in the scientific literature, the assumption being that an important paper will be cited more often than one of small account. (49) This would be reasonable if it were not for the fact that scientists can easily arrange to cite themselves in their future publications, or get associates to do so for them in return for similar favours. Boiling down an individual’s o utput to simple metrics, such as number of publications or journal impacts, entails considerable savings in time, energy and ambiguity. Unfortunately, the long-term costs of using simple quantitative metrics to assess researcher merit are likely to be quite great. (50) If we are serious about ensuring that our science is both meaningful and reproducible, we must ensure that our institutions encourage that kind of science. 46-50参考答案及解析:

From Competence to Commitment 从能力到责任 1.当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。他们致力于寻求在他们看 来似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的积累。年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们对未来的认识还是很模糊的。处于像他们这样前程未定的年龄阶段,他们该信仰什么? 大学生一直在寻找独特的自我,寻找生活的意义。如芸芸众生的我们,他们也陷入了两难的境地。一方面,他们崇尚奉献于他人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住诱惑退避到利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。 2.最终而言,大学教育素质的衡量取决于毕业生是否愿意为他们所处的社会和赖以生存的 城市作出贡献。尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有意识到对社会所负有的责任,他才能够认识到自身的潜力。一个人如果一味地以自我为中心,他将会失去自我。”本科教育必须对这种带有理想主义色彩的观念进行自我深省,使学生超越以自我为中心的观念,以诚相待,服务社会。在这一个竞争激烈\残酷的社会,人们期望大学生能报以正直、文明,,甚至富有同情心的人格品质去与人竞争,这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合? 3.毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。美国的教育必须立刻采取行动,使教育理所当 然地承担起弥合公共政策与公众的理解程度之间的极具危险性且在日益加深的沟壑这一职责。那些要求人们积极思考政府的议程并提供富于创意的意见的信息似乎越来越让我们感到事不关己。所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。设想,怎么可能让一些非专业人士去讨论必然带来相应后果的政府决策的问题,而他们甚至连语言的使用都存在困难? 4.核能的使用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污 染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。 5.类似的一头雾水的感觉,公众曾经尝试过。当他们试图弄懂有关“星球大战”的辩论的 问题时,那些关于“威慑”与“反威慑”等高科技的专业术语,曾让公众一筹莫展。像地方的区域规划,学校种族隔离制的废除,排水系统的问题,公共交通的治理,以及申请获得正在相互竞争的有线电视公司的许可证等这些曾经看起来只是一些地方性事务的事情,现在也需要专家采解决。这些专家的辩论充满着技术术语,常常使问题变得让人迷惑不解而不会使问题云开雾散,清晰明了。公共生活的复杂性,要求更多\而非更少的信息资料;需要更积极\而非越来越消极的公众的参与。 6.对于那些关心“民治政府”的人,公众理解程度的每况愈下是无法接受的。当今世界, 人类生存问题吉凶未卜,无知是不可取的。那些目光短浅的专家们制定措施时一手遮天,这也是不可容忍的。作为公民,我们只有找到更好的教育方法,只有提出更棘手的问题,并得到满意的答案,才能在关键的决策时刻承担风险,运用我们所学的知识做出重大决

In recent years Europeans have become increasingly jumpy about bad food – and with good reason. 2. This year the E.U. banned the importation of non-approved GM corn. 3. It is crucially important that we take stock of this technology’s probable effects on our planet’s ecosystems. 4. We should also take a sober look at the effect of genetic engineering in the social and political realms. 5. Nature is never idle. Through random mutations, nature constantly tests new genetic models of organisms. Exercise 2. A. 1. 全世界的人们都在密切地注视他们食品中的基因构成——并地为他们所看到的一切 越发感到不安。在过去的十年里,随着科学家们将无数的水果和蔬菜的基因重组,使平常的农作物变成了能抵御霜冻、经得起除草剂,甚至产生消灭自身害虫作用的超级作物,基因改良食品已日益成为普遍现象。就总数而言,超过4,500的基因改良植物已经过测试,其中至少有40种——包括13种玉米,11种西红柿和4种大豆——已经通过了政府的审核。 2. 但是,一个国家的禁令对另一国家而言就是一种贸易保护主义,美国对欧洲的举动 持怀疑态度。自从欧洲决定继续禁止进口助长荷尔蒙的美国牛肉以来,美国通过对欧洲某些出口食品征收100%的关税作为反击,欧美之间的关系近来变得越发紧张。在这种激烈的争斗中,转基因食品禁令的审慎态度与报复差不多/ 看似是报复行为,其实是一种审慎。此外,假如欧洲如此担忧转基因食品的话,为什么还要生产它们呢?法国生产的转基因粮食规模不大,而消费得却比其它欧洲国家多。 B. 1. Ready or not, the world is entering the age of genetic engineering. Altered environments and human-created life forms will be part of this new age. Plants may be transformed into miniature factories producing plastics, medicines, or perfumes. Animals may be given human genes to make their tissues compatible with humans, allowing animal hearts and other organs to be transplanted into critically ill people. 2. We should also take a sober look at the effects of genetic engineering in the social and political realms. Because the agricultural and medical benefits of genetic engineering are expensive, poor individuals and poor nations will not be able to afford them – at least not for years to come.

2016上外翻硕英语基础真题 I.Cloze Here's why the'American century'will survive rise of China In1941,Time editor Henry Luce proclaimed“the American century”.Some now see this coming to an end1.as a result of the nation’s economic and political decline.Many point to the example of US failure to convince its allies to stay out of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank,Beijing’s rival to the World Bank;but this was2.more of an example of a faulty decision than evidence of decline,which raises the question of what is the natural life cycle of a nation. A century is generally the limit for a human organism,but countries are social constructs. Rome did not collapse until more than three centuries after it reached its apogee of power in 117AD.After American independence in1776,Horace Walpole,the British politician, lamented that his nation had been reduced to the level of Sardinia,just as Britain was about to enter the industrial revolution that3.powered its second century as a global power. Any effort at assessing American power in the coming decades should 4.take into account how many earlier efforts had been wide of the mark.It is chastening to remember how wildly5.exaggerated US estimates of Soviet power in the1970s and of Japanese power in the1980s were.Today,some see the Chinese as10feet tall and proclaim this“the Chinese century”. China’s size and relatively rapid economic growth will bring it closer to the US in terms of its power resources in the next few decades.But this does not necessarily mean it will surpass the US in military,economic and soft power. 6.Even if China suffers no big domestic political setback,many projections are simple linear extrapolations of growth rates that are likely to slow in the future. 7.Moreover,economic projections are one dimensional.They ignore US military and soft power advantages,such as the desire of students around the world to attend US universities.They also overlook China’s geopolitical 8.disadvantages in the Asian balance of power,compared with America’s relations with Europe,Japan and India,which are likely to remain more favourable. It is not impossible that a challenger such as China,Europe,Russia,India or Brazil will surpass the US in the first half of this century,but it is not likely. On the question of absolute rather than9.relative American decline,the US faces serious problems in areas such as debt,secondary education,income in equality and political gridlock, but these are only part of the picture.On the positive side of the ledger are favourable trends in demography,technology and energy as well as abiding factors such as geography and entrepreneurial culture. The scenarios that could10.precipitate decline include ones in which the US overreacts to terrorist attacks by turning inwards and thus cuts itself off from the strength it obtains from openness.Alternatively,it could react by overcommitting itself and wasting blood and treasure as it did in Vietnam and Iraq. As an overall assessment,describing the21st century as one of American decline is inaccurate and misleading.Though the US has problems it is not in absolute decline,unlike ancient Rome,and it is likely to remain more powerful than any single state in coming decades.

Unit One 信息空间:出入随愿 美国人的内心深处具有一种酷爱探索新领域的气质。我们渴求宽敞的场地,我们喜欢探索,喜欢制定规章制度,却不愿去遵守。在当今时代,却很难找到一块空间,可以供你任意驰骋,又不必担心影响你的邻居。 确实有这样一个空间,那就是信息空间。这里原本是计算机迷的游戏天地,但如今只要想像得到的各类人群应有尽有,包括少年儿童、轻佻的单身汉、美籍匈牙利人、会计等。问题是他们都能和睦相处吗?人们是否会因为害怕孩子们躲在卧室里看网上的淫秽图片而将它封杀? 首先要解决的问题是,什么是信息空间。我们可以抛开高速公路、前沿新领域等比喻,把信息空间看作一个巨大的庄园。请记住,庄园是人们智慧的结晶,是合法的、人工营造的氛围,它建立在土地之上。在庄园里,公园和商业中心、红灯区与学校、教堂与杂货店都能区分开来。 你可以用同样的方法把信息空间想像为一个巨大的、无边无际的虚拟庄园。其中有些房产为私人拥有并已租出,有些是公共场所;有的场所适合儿童出入,而有些地方人们最好避开。不幸的是,正是这些应该避开的地方使得人们心向神往。这些地方教唆你如何制造炸弹、为你提供淫秽材料、告诉你如何窃取信用卡。所有这些使信息空间听起来像是一个十分肮脏的地方。正直的公民纷纷作出这样的结论:最好对它严加管理。 但是,在利用规章制度来反击下流之举之前,关键是从根本上理解信息空间的性质。恶棍并不能在信息空间抢走毫无提防之心的儿童;信息空间也不像一台巨大的电视机,向不情愿的观众播放令人作呕的节目。在信息空间这座庄园里,用户对他们所去之处、所见所闻、所做所为都要作出选择,一切都出于自愿。换句话说,信息空间是个出入自便的地方,实际上,信息空间里有很多可去之处。人们不能盲目上网,必须带着具体的目标上网。这意味着人们可以选择去哪个网址、看什么内容。不错,规章制度应该在群体内得以实施,但这些规章制度必须由信息空间内各个群体自己来制定,而不是由法庭或华盛顿的政客们来制定。 信息空间之所以具有如此大的诱惑力,正是因为它不同于商场、电视、公路或地球上的其他地方。那么,让我们来描述一下这个空间。 首先,信息空间里人与人之间可以进行电子邮件交流。这种交流类似于电话交谈,都是私人之间的、两相情愿的谈话,不需要任何规章制度加以限制。 其次,信息空间提供信息与娱乐服务。人们可以从中下载各种信息,从法律文件、“大型新饭店”名单,到游戏软件、下流图片,无奇不有。这里如同书店、商场和电影院,属购物区域。顾客必须通过索求或者登记来购物,物品(特别是淫秽之物)不会发送给那些没有索取的人。有些服务可以免费,或作为总服务费用的一部分计算,如“计算机服务”和“美国在线”就是如此。而有些服务要向顾客收费,而且可能会让顾客直接支付账单。 第三,信息空间里还有真正意义上的群体,那就是在内部互相交流思想的人群。从庄园的角度来看,这些群体就像酒吧、饭店或公共浴室。每个活跃的人都积极参与谈话,谈话一般通过邮件方式进行;而有的人也许只充当旁观者或旁听者。有些活动由专人监督,有些则像公告牌,任何人可以任意在上面张贴。很多活动起初都无人监督,但现在实行强制管理,用规章制度来扫除那些不受欢迎的广告、不相干的讨论或日渐粗鲁的成员。 信息空间里群体的演变过程正如陆地社会团体的演变过程,即情趣相投的人们聚在一起。信息空间里每一个团体都各具特色。总的来说,“计算机服务”上的团体一般由专业技术人员组成;“美国在线”上的团体一般为富有的独身者;“奇才”主要面向家庭。另外还有一些具有独到见解的服务机构,“共鸣”为其中之一,是纽约市中心一家时髦的服务机

A physically mature female deer in good condition who has conceived in November and given birth to two fawns during the end of May or first part of June , must search for food for the necessary energy not only to meet her body’s needs but also to produce milk for her fawns. 一只成熟健壮的母鹿,在十一月怀胎,五月底或六月初生下两只幼鹿,这时,她必须寻找食物以获得必要的能量,这不仅是为了满足自身的需要,而且也是为了给幼鹿生产乳汁。 7.The president said at a press conference dominated by questions on yesterday’s election results that he could not explain why the Republicans had suffered such a widespread defeat, which in the end would deprive the Republican Party of long-held superiority in the House. 在主要问及昨天选举结果的记者招待会上,总统说他无法解释为何共和党遭到如此惨痛的失败,这最终会使共和党丧失在众议院长期以来享有的优势。 8.The second aspect is the application by all members of society from the government official to the ordinary citizen, of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. 第二个方面是,社会上的一切成员,从政府部门中任公职的官员到普通公民,都应运用科学家们在科研工作中所采用的专门的思维方法和工作方法。 9.The method was largely developed by physicists , chemists and biologists ; it was later adopted by people working in such areas as education, psychology and sociology , where the subjects of research were often people. 这种方法在很大程度上先是由物理学家、化学家和生物学家使用,后来为在教育学、心理学和社会学等领域内工作的研究人员所采纳而发展起来的。
