我静静地躺着,等待着。突然,窗外的生机引起了我的注意:昆虫在合鸣;邻居坐在阳台上,直到深夜,他们说话的声音有些模糊,那声音让我平静下来。我闻到了新割的青草的气息。还有一种说不清的声音--可能是树枝扫过隔壁店铺的屋顶吧。

Lying still, waiting, I suddenly notice the life outside the window. The bugs sing in chorus. Neighbors, sitting on their verandas until late, speak in hazy words with sanded edges that soothe me. I catch the scent of fresh grass clippings. Then I hear something I can't decode-perhaps a tree branch raking the shop roof next door.

根据政府统计,美国现有一亿一千多万辆汽车,一千五百万商业用车或卡车。更多的人口也就意味着更多的汽车。到二十一世纪二十年代末,美国人口和汽车都将是今天的两倍。二十年后,个人平均收入也将是今天的二点五倍。如果把这增加的收入花在更多更大型的轿车、更宽大的房子上,花在增加其他商品的消费上,就必然导致资源枯竭和污染。

According to government statistics, in the United States, there are over l10 million cars and 15 million commercial vehicles or trucks. And "more people" means "more cars". By the end of the twenties of the twenty-first century, the population of the United States will have doubled that of today and the number of automobiles will be doubled as well. And in twenty years' time the per capita income will also be 2.5 times higher than it is now. If this increased income is spent on more and larger automobiles, larger houses, and increased consumption of other material goods, the results could cause catastrophic resource exhaustion, and pollution.

克隆研究正在挑战遗传现象中的许多传统观点。一种共识是人类行为甚至我们这个复杂的社会在某种程度上来说是由基因决定的。社会主义者一直在质疑这种过于简单化的观点,指出人类在很久以前就已挣脱了进化的束缚

Cloning studies are challenging many orthodox views in genetics. A common idea is that human behavior and even our complex society are somehow "determined" by our genes. Socialists have always challenged this simplistic viewpoint, pointing out that humans long ago broke free of evolution.

在2005年发生的一连串的灾害中,没有一个能比得上飓风卡特里娜(Katrina)和雷塔(Rita)带给美国人的巨大恐惧。面对被淹没的城市和冲毁的海岸线惨景,建筑师们的反应是:“我们能做点什么”?当务之急是给遭受飓风袭击的人们提供住所。

In the cascade of catastrophes occurring in 2005, none struck Americans more forcefully than Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In response to the images of drowned cities and blasted coastlines, architects throughout the country have asked, "What can I do?" No single aspect commands our collective attention more immediately than housing for storm victims.

根据英国政府昨日公布的计划,如何应对地球上的气候变化威胁将成为英国民用空间战略的核心内容。根据英国国家航天中心(British National Space Centre)起草的战略,英国科学家将开发卫星和先进观测技术,能够从轨道上监测地球的森林采伐状况、冰盖融化情况和恶劣天气。

Tackling the threat of climate change on earth will be the heart of Britain's civilian space strategy under plans laid out recently by the government. British scientists are to develop satellites and advanced observation technologies capable of looking back at earth from orbit to monitor deforestation, the melting of ice caps and violent weather, according to a strategy drawn up by the British National Space Centre.

在很长一段时间内,电子化的媒介是不可能取代纸张这样的传统媒介的。首先,由于经济条件、地理条件等各种因素的限制,不是任何人在任何地点都有电脑,都能够上网。其次,一些重要合同文书的验证,要求其独一无二的真实性,任何拷贝复制再生都是无效的。另外,文字笔迹具有独特的信息,是数字化手段代替不了的。

Over a long period of time, electronic media is/are unlikely to replace such traditional media as paper. First of all, not anyone can afford to have a computer and can log on/surf the Internet at any place due to financial factors, geographical conditions and various other factors. In addition, the verification of some important contracts requires unique authenticity. Any photocopy and duplication is ineffective. What's more, one person's handwriting contains particular information which can not be replaced by digital media.
