2021何凯文每日一句第74句
今天的句子:
It thus takes little more than a quick Google search these days to locate an academic paper published in a prestigious-sounding journal that claims to have the data, statistics and citations to support that argument rigorously and without question. To the average member of the public, "peer review" is an unknown concept and a paper published in Nature is not any more reputable than one published in The Journal Of Prestigious And World Changing Research. However, the greatest single contributor to data-driven “fake news” are the myriad statistical mistakes that so easily befall even academics in fields that do not emphasize rigorous statistical training.
思考题:
It can be learned from the passage that_____
(A) Academics are lack of the strict statistical training.
(B) There are also many mistakes on the Journal of Nature.
(C) Peer review is also used in prestigious-sounding journals.
(D) many of us are susceptible to statistical errors of fake news .
句子解析:
句:
It(形式主语) thus takes little more than a quick Google search these days to locate an academic paper(主语) published in a prestigious-sounding journal (定语)that claims to have the data, statistics and citations(定语从句) to support that argument rigorously and without question.(定语)
参考译文:因此,现在只需比一次快速谷歌搜索多费点工夫,就可以找到发表在听起来颇知名的期刊上的学术论文:这篇论文声称拥有数据、统计和引文来严格且母庸置疑地支持论点。
第二句:
To the average member of the public,(状语) "peer review" is an unknown concept (并列主干1)and a paper published in Natureis not any more reputable than one(状语) published in The Journal Of Prestigious And World Changing Research(定语).
参考译文:对于普通公众来说,“同行评审”是一个陌生概念,而且,对他们而言,发表在《自然》杂志上的论文也并不比在《改变世界的研究》杂志上的更值得依赖。
解释:《改变世界的研究》杂志 这就是一个听起来很厉害但实际上很水的杂志。
第三句:
However, the greatest single contributor to data-driven “fake news” are the myriad statistical fallacies(mistakes)// 定语从句:that=错误 so easily befall even academics(主干) in fields(定语) that do not emphasize rigorous statistical training.(定语)
解析:
that=错误 so easily befall even academics(主干)
这些很容易影响一些学者。
什么学者?
in fields(定语) 这些领域的学者
什么领域?
that(领域) do not emphasize rigorous statistical training.
这些领域不强调严密统计训练。
(完美!)
参考译文:然而,数据驱动的“假新闻”的单一贡献者(最主要的原因)是大量统计谬误,即使是那些不强调严密统计训练的领域的学者也很容易受其影响。

Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics: How Bad Statistics Are Feeding Fake News
谎言、该死的谎言和统计数据:糟糕的统计如何助长假新闻

背景:我们处于一个信息传播便利,假新闻火起来更便利的时代。那些靠煽动情绪来博人眼球的假新闻很容易被看穿,因为逻辑混乱、事实单薄,经不起推敲。但若以为假消息只收乌合之众的智商税,那就大错特错了。每隔一段时间就会出现一些新理论,逻辑自洽、推理严密,还有大量统计数据支持和科学文献引用,看起来非常冷静、客观,还会获得不少专业人士的转发。然而仔细阅读则会发现图表有P图的痕迹,引用的数据来自非常奇怪的地方,或者虽然声称来自知名的机构,但你根本找不到它,或者可以找到,但根本不能用来支持所述论点。最常给假新闻背锅的莫过于盖洛普民意调查(Gallup poll)了,比如”一项最近的盖洛普民意调查表示,80%的受访者认为气候变化为假“。也许,正如马克·吐温所说:”谎言有三种:谎言、该死的谎言和统计数据“。
