Cloning:Good or Bad?
Just before PresidentClinton heads to the hospital for knee surgery, he asks another Bill Clinton tomeet Russian President Boris Yeltsin at an overseas meeting. Meanwhile, a thirdBill Clinton is out playing golf, while a fourth is helping daughter Chelsea witha science project.
Sound far-fetched?That day may come. Scientists in Scotland recently announced that, for the firsttime, they have cloned an exact copy of an adult mammal. The cloned baby lamb, namedDolly, has the exact same genes as the adult sheep from which she was coined. Inother words, the two are identical twins; only Dolly is six years younger. The goalof embryologist Ian Wilmut, the lead scientist, is to develop a way to raise identicalsheep that produce medications for humans.

克隆:是好还是不好?
就在克林顿总统前往医院接受膝盖手术之前,他还请另一位克林顿总统在一次海外会议上与俄罗斯总统叶利钦会晤。与此同时,第三位比尔克林顿正在打高尔夫球,而第四位正在帮助女儿切尔西完成一个科学项目。
听起来很牵强么?那一天或许会来。苏格兰的科学家最近宣布,他们第一次精确地克隆出了一种成年哺乳动物的复制品。克隆的小羊羔,名叫多利,与创造它的成年羊的基因完全相同。换句话说,这两只羊是同卵双胞胎,只是Dolly比它小六岁。首席科学家胚胎学家伊恩·威尔穆特的目标是开发一种饲养同样的羊的方式来为人类生产药物。

Whether Europe’slanguages will flourish or fade under the impact of 1992 is a matter of debate.Some foresee the day when a Europeanized form of English—perhaps known as “Eurolish”—willbecome the common language. Lesser languages could fall by the wayside. Claude Truchot,a professor of English at the University of Social Sciences in Strasbourg, seesa danger of a “regionalization of European languages and cultures,” with some languagesno longer being spoken except in rural packets. Others believe that by maintainingnine official languages, the EC may have checked the decline of some lesser knowntongues. “Danish has never been spoken more than now,” claims Christophe Thierry,director of the Paris-based Higher Institute of Interpretation and Translation.“The prospect of 1992 has increased the importance of languages by bringing togethermore technicians from different countries.” Europe has always been a continent oflinguists. There is every prospect that it will be even more so after 1992.

在1992年的影响下,欧洲的语言是否会繁荣还是衰落,这是一个有争议的问题。一些人预见到,欧洲化的英语形式可能被称为“欧洲英语”,将成为通用语言。较小的语言可能会被抛在一边。斯特拉斯堡社会科学大学英语教授克劳德·特鲁奇特认为欧洲语言和文化的地区化是危险的,一些语言将只会在农村地区使用。其他人认为,通过维持九种正式语言,欧共体可能知道了一些较不知名的语言的衰落。巴黎高翻学院院长Christophe Thierry表示:“丹麦语从来没有被比现在更多的人使用过。1992年的前景使不同国家的技术人员聚集在一起,提高了语言的重要性”。欧洲一直是语言学家的大陆。1992年以后会有更好的发展前景。

孤独
我的最大爱好是沉思默想。我可以一个人长时间地独处而感到愉快。孤独的时候,精神不会是一片纯粹的空白,它仍然是一个丰富多彩的世界。孤独中.思维可以不依照逻辑进行。孤独更多地产生人生的诗情——激昂的和伤感的。孤独可以使人的思想向更遥远更深邃的地方伸展,也能使你对自己或环境作更透彻的认识和检讨。
【参考译文】
Loneliness
My favorite pastimeis meditation. I can stay by myself for a long time yet feel contented. In solitude,the mind will not fall into a complete blank, but remain in a world both rich andvaried. Besides, a solitary mind does not work with logic. Much of poetic sentimentof passion or melancholy is aroused in solitude. Solitary not only deepens the thoughtsof an individual, but enables him to develop a more profound comprehension or criticalexamination of himself and his environment.
