目前，许多人都享受着过去历代人想象不到的物质和技术进步带来的好处。

英文翻译：Nowadays,many people are enjoying the benefits brought about by material and technological advances unimaginable in previous eras.With the development of science and technology,people’s standard of living is getting higher and higher.People’s life expectancy has soared,too.

However,oddly enough,many peopke do not feek happier than they used to be.Itcan be seen that there is no close correlation beween people’s income and their happiness.Happiness cannot,after all,be bought with money.

Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives,they are happy to be alive,and the more time they get on earth,the better off they feel they’ll be.What is important is that material wealth is far from enough.People need spiritual happiness,too.

尽管我们都知道知识就是力量，

英文翻译：We all known that knowledge is power but we are seldom aware of how difficult knowledge transfer is.According to Victoria Griffith,there are many barriers to knowledge transfer and lack of trust is one of the major ones.

It seems to her that people are only willing to absorb knowledge readily from those they know and trust.For example,in the early 17th century,Galileo argued that the earth

and other planets move around the sun,but this knowledge was rejected by the general population at that time because the Italians over three hundred years ago trusted the Roman Churchmore than they trusted science.What was worse,Galileo had to spend

the rest of his life under house arrest for his ideas.

Victoria Griffith reminds us thar knowledge transfer is still a tough problem although

we are living in the “knowledge era”.
