资源简介 37 Be Careful about Cloning37 谨慎对待克隆After a series of initial experiments and corrections, the scientist’s hard work paid off在最初一系列的实验和修正之后,科学家的辛苦工作终于有了回报when the twin clone turkeys were hatched with normal feather and claws.此刻一对双生的克隆火鸡被孵化出来,羽毛和爪子都很正常。This breakthrough possibly enabled people to bring their adored pets back to life.这一突破或许能让人们使他们喜爱的宠物复活。However, it bothered him from time to time that their health was in poor condition because theywere unable to resist illnesses.然而,使他不时倍感困扰的是它们的健康状况极差,因为它们无法抵抗疾病。This drawback cast him down.这个缺点让他很沮丧。Merely 2 weeks later, the clones and their carrier died, which struck frustration into his heart.仅仅过了 2 个星期,克隆体和母体都死了,这使他内心充满了挫败感。He retired before he attained his ambition and became a member of an opera chorus to relievehis depression.他也因此退休,没来得及实现自己的志向,然后他加入歌剧合唱团来减轻抑郁。Shortly afterwards, the media published a conservative argument objecting to cloning owing tomoral problems,之后不久,媒体就发表了反对克隆的保守论点,原因是涉及道德问题,and suggested the constitution include compulsory regulations to forbid obtaining commercialprofits from cloning.并且建议宪 fa 应该纳入强制性的法规禁止通过克隆获得商业利益。When interviewed, the scientist stared at the decorations on the ceiling, thinking for a while, andthen said,在接受采访时,这名科学家盯着天花板上的装饰物,思考了一会儿,然后说道:“I’m not in favor of any arbitrary assumption, but undertaking cloning does differ from thestraightforward procedure of making loafs out of flour.“我不喜欢随意进行假设,但是从事克隆与用面粉制作面包的简单过程确实不大相同。Until we accumulate enough exact knowledge, any practice is in vain and is bound to fail.在我们积累了足够的准确知识前,任何实践都是徒劳无功的,注定会失败。Altogether, being more careful is reasonable or we may walk into a side road.”总而言之,更加谨慎地对待克隆是合理的,否则我们或许会误入歧途。”Vocabulary 词汇表1) initial / n l/ 初始的,首要的 8) claw /kl / 爪子2) correction /k r k n/ 更正,矫正 9) breakthrough
