百三十七句

(这是昨天卫报的句子,可以点看阅读原文)

手机对于我们的健康到底有没有影响?

很多新闻报道都说没有,其根据是很多专家的研究。

但是我们有没有想过如果这些专家都被手机行业利益集团收买了呢?

甚至很早之前手机行业就在这方面扶植权,威掌握话语权呢?

所有做这个方面研究的科学家都和手机行业有关系呢?

即使有人做出了有害的结论,也会有专家站出来反对,于是一直争论不休。

即使新闻媒体不被收买,很多记者也不可能知道真相是什么。

大众更不可能有知情权了。

几十年前的香烟和石油行业不就是这样做的吗?

一直用专家和舆论来掩饰真相。

后来是因为越来越多的受害者出现了,

人们才知道吸烟的危害和汽车尾气的危害。

所以这个世界上什么最 贵?真相。

文中提到,保险公司是不会对手机伤害提供大额保单(policy )

这个细节比较能说明问题。

Lack of definitive proof that a technology is harmful does not mean the technology is safe, yet the wireless industry has succeeded in selling this logical fallacy to the world. The upshot is that, over the past 30 years, billions of people around the world have been the wireless industry a public-health experiment: use a mobile phone today, find out later if it causes genetic damage or cancer.

思考题:

The public -health experiment is invalid for the absence of certain evidence.

词汇突破:

1. definitive proof 确凿的证据

2. the wireless industry 手机行业(无线通讯行业)

3.upshot 结果

4. logical fallacy 逻辑谬论

5. public-health experiment:公共卫生实验

6. genetic damage 基因损伤

句:

Lack of definitive proof that a technology is harmful does not mean the technology is safe, yet the wireless industry has succeeded in selling this logical fallacy to the world.

切分:

1.(Lack of definitive proof that a technology is harmful主语从句 )does not mean the technology is safe,

2. yet the wireless industry has succeeded in selling this logical fallacy to the world.

参考译文:没有确凿的证据证明一种技术是有害的并不意味着这种技术是安全的,然而手机行业已经成功地将这种逻辑谬论兜售给了全世界。

第二句:

The upshot is that, over the past 30 years, billions of people around the world have been the wireless industry a public-health experiment: use a mobile phone today, find out later if it causes genetic damage or cancer.

切分:

1. The upshot is that, over the past 30 years, billions of people around the world have been the wireless industry a public-health experiment:

2. use a mobile phone today, find out later if it causes genetic damage or cancer.

参考译文:结果是,在过去的30年中,全世界有数十亿人接受了手机行业的一个公共卫生实验:今天使用手机,晚点看看它是否会导致基因损伤或癌症。

思考题:

The public -health experiment is invalid for the absence of certain evidence.

由于缺乏某些证据,公共健康实验是无效的。

(确凿的证据:the certain evidence; )

这就是我拼凑的一个选项。这里没有任何因果关系可言。

你只要切分了就不会上我的当。

这个题是错的!!!

明天的句子1:

1.As long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses high-dosage pain-relieving medication to hasten death.

思考题:

High-dosage pain-relieving medication can be prescribed.

明天的句子2:

2.Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each monkey feels it is not being cheated.

思考题:

Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.
