赛缪尔.伍德博士采访录
I was extremely close with my morher all my life..She was a brilliant eductor ,writer and wonderful woman. Sadly, shen was developed complications related to diabetes.When she lost her eyesight and most of her ability to walk,it was absolutely horrifying for me She passed away from a fall seven or eightyears ago.At her funeral,I swore that one day I’d do something about conditions like hers.
我一生与母亲无比亲密,她是一位卓越的教育家、作家,是一位了不起的女士。不幸的是,她患上了糖尿病引起的并发症。当她丧失视力和大部分行走能力时,我惊恐万分。七、八年前她摔了一脚,便离开人世。在她的葬礼上,我发誓有朝一日要为她那样的疾病做点什么。
Years passed and I read about the work the South Koreans had done with stem cells.In 2004 and 2005 Hwang WooSuk fraudulently repoted that he had succeededin creating human embryoniv stem cells by cloning.Back then it wasn’t kown it was a fraud,so it was very excitinh to think that a long list of diseases could be treated.
时间一年年过去了,我读到了韩国人在干细胞方面所做的工作。在2004和2005年之间,黄禹锡谎称他已通过克隆技术成功的培养出人类胚胎干细胞
当时人们并不知道那是造假,所以想到一长串疾病有望得到医治,人们兴奋不已。
I found the stem cell research company Stemagen with another gentleman whose father hand died of ALS.We went out for drinks one night and we started talking about our parents.We wanted to do something that would be a legacy.for them.
我与另一位先生共同创建了斯塔摩根干细胞研究公司。那位先生的父亲死于肌萎缩性侧索硬化。一天晚上我们出去小酌,讨论起我们的父母,我们想做点什么,以此作为他们身后留下的遗产。
是福是祸?For Better or Worse?
The moment we diceded to start Stemagen,I read all there was to read about the various cloning efforts in the past.The cloned sheep Dolly in 1997was very interesting,but at that stage people were not focusing on the stemcell aspect of cloning;they were focusing on the reproductive possibilities of cloning.
一决定创建斯塔摩根干细胞研究公司,我就阅读了有关以往各种克隆实验的所有资料。1997年的克隆羊多利引起了人们极大的兴趣。但在那个时候,人们关注的不是克隆技术的干细胞层面,而是其无性繁殖的可能性问题。
Human reproductive cloning is just simply wrong ethically from a medical standpoint and a scientific standpoint,even ignoring any religious issues associated with it.The reason is that the majority of reproductive clones in other species are actually abnormal,with very high miscarriage rates,very high stillbirth rates,fetal anomalie,death soon after birth,et cetera.
从医学和科学的角度来看,克隆人在伦理道德上就是错误的,即便不去理会其相关的宗教问题,其原因在于其它物种的无性繁殖个体事实上大多数都是畸形的,流产率很高,死亡率也很高,胎儿畸形,出生不久就夭折,如此等等。
It would just be absolutely wrong to take a human being and put them through what may well involve significant suffering for really no good end.Even though people could take the techniques that we’ve developed and attenp to do it(or perhaps even be successful doing it),we hope that they would not.
让人经受极有可能遭到巨大痛苦的事,却又得不到什么好结果,那是绝对错误的。即使有人能够利用我们研发的技术,并且试图付诸实践(也许可能成功),我们还是希望他们不要那么做。
On the other hand,therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life and actually provides tremendous potential for the relief of suffering inreal human beings who are going through some awful things.
从另一方面来说,治疗性的克隆技术不牵涉任何人对人生命的威胁,还能真正为正在经受痛苦的人们提供缓解痛苦的极大的可能性。
I’m a pure scientist in some ways,and I know that manyvdifferent studies or findings could be used for evil.Our job as scientist is to make the most of this technology and make it available to the greatest number of other scientists who can help us do good things with it.There’s really no effective way for an individual scientist to stop someone else from using the knowledge for something they should’t.
在某种程度上,我是一个纯粹的科学家,可我知道种种研究或发现可能被用来做邪恶的事。作为科学家 我们的工作是充分利用这一技术,并且使之尽可能被多的其他科学家掌握,帮助我们做好事。对于科学家个人而言,其实没什么行之有效的方法可以阻止他人将知识用到他们不该用的地方。
We need to be honest aboutthe techniques that we used.They need to be able to be replicated by other people,and s9,we are providing a roadmap.I would hope that the legislation that’s in place and the hreat public disapproval that would result from any attempt to clone a human would dissuade anyone from going down that path.
我们必须诚实的说明我们所使用的技术。这些技术必须能够被他人复制,这样,我们等于提供了一张线路图。我希望适当的法规及公众对于试图克隆人的极力反对能够劝阻任何有此企图的人走那条路。
What is it they say?There is no technology that hasn’t been used for some evil purpose at some will attempt human reproductive cloning.I do think it’s inevitable,and it’s virtually impossible to legislate that away.
他们是怎么说的?他们说没有一向技术不曾在某个时候为了某种罪恶目的而被利用过。坦白的说,我确实认为有人会试图克隆人。我确实认为那是不可避免的事,而且也不可能通过立法来加以阻止。
出名Claim to Fame
I am spoken of as the first man to "clone himself."There are different types if cloning.At the cellular level,yes,it’s ture I am the first man to clone himself.We thought a great deal about how to deal with the issue of whose cells we should use and whether we should let the world and the scientific community know who the first cellular clone was.In the end we decieded that we wanted to put a human face on cloning.
我被说成是第一个“克隆自己”的人。有不同类型的克隆。从细胞层面来说,没错,我的确是第一个克隆自己的人。我们应该使用谁的细胞,是否应该让世人及科学界知晓谁是第一个细胞克隆体。对于如何处理上诉问题我们想得很多。最终,我们决定要让克隆体人性化。
I didn’t anticipate it would create the firstorm of controversy that it’s created,but I’m still glad we went down that path. We received thousands of e-mails and phone calls from people who need help.
我没料到这样做竟掀起轩然大波。但是对于我们走过的这条路,我仍感到高兴。我们从需要帮助的人们那里收到成千上万的电子邮件和电话。
I think by c9ming forward and putting a face to it we made it very real,and now people around the world know that cloning is here.I believe that very soon it will be used therapeutically,so I think our purpose was served.
我认为通过主动的让克隆体人性化,我们使克隆技术变得十分真实。现在全世界的人都知道克隆了。我相信不久克隆技术就会被用于治疗疾病,所以我认为我们的目的达到了。
纯科学Pure Science
What happens is an informed and consenting woman donates an egg and we remove her gentic material from the egg.Then we place a single skin cell inside that egg.
事情是这样的:一位被告知实情并表示同意的女士捐出一个卵子。我们取出卵子中的基因材料,然后把单个皮肤细胞植入卵子中。
What we’re really interested 8n is creating disease-specific and person-specific stem cell lines.The procedure of taking cells from a person takes no more than a minute or two.You can take some skin cells from the arm,for example,and in one to two minutes,you can get the cells that you need to carry out this process
我们正真正感兴趣的是建立特定疾病及特定个体的干细胞系列。从某人身上取出细胞的程序不过一两分钟的功夫。比如,你可从手臂提取皮肤细胞,一两分钟后,便可得到实施这一过程所需的细胞。
This process enables us to study the causes of specific diseases,such as Alzheimer’s Disease,ALS or Parkinson’s Disease,and then research a variety of treatments for these diseases.If the stem cell lines are created for any given individual and are later transplanted back into the individual,they will not be rejected by the individual.
这一过程有助于我们探究诸如早老性痴呆病、肌萎缩性侧索硬化或帕金森氏病等特定疾病的起因,并着手研究治疗这些疾病的种种方法。如果干细胞系列是针对某一特定个体而培育的,然后又被移植回那个个体,它们就不会遭排异。
甜蜜的成功Sweet Success
I always thought that when our research was successful I would just be pleased that we had accomplished this when others had not.In reality,it is transcendent-when you look through the micioscope,you see what you may have looked like a long time ago,at least in part.
我一直这么想,当我们的研究成果获得成功时,我会为我们取得别人还未取得的成就而感到欣喜。事实上,这一研究成果真的是妙不可言……透过显微镜,你至少部分的看到自己很久以前是大概什么模样。
When I looked down and saw that cloned blastocyst,it brought tears to my eyes.I had done this for my mother,and I realized,had she only been able to live a few years longer,maybe we could have used this technology to help her.It was emotional to see tht potential,which she never had a chance to experience.
当我低下头看克隆出的胚泡时,不由的泪水盈眶。我是为我的母亲而做的这一研究,我想,只要母亲能多活几年,我们或许就可以利用这一技术挽救她。看到存在那样一种可能,一种母亲没有亲身机会享受的可能,不禁令人感慨万千。
There's a big misconception out there that we decided to destroy these embryos for some reason.There was so much skepticism about this process because of the scientific fraud from the past that it was critical that there be no doubt that they were clones.
我们出于某种原因要毁掉这些克隆胚胎,对此外界有很大误解。由于以前的科学家造假行为,人们对于我们的研究过程抱有诸多怀疑,所以确保它们真是克隆胚胎是至关重要的。
In the process of analysis,the embryos were destroyed by necessary.In other words, to get the genetic material from inside the cells to analyze it,you have to destroy the cell.We would have loved to have been able to avoid destroying them.
在分析过程中,我们必须毁掉那些胚胎。换句话说,从细胞里提取遗传物质进行分析,你只得毁坏细胞。我们多么希望能避免毁掉它们阿。
Now we're working full-time on creating stem cell lines,and people are watching with great interest.
目前我们正夜以继日地培育干细胞系列,人们也饶有兴趣的关注着这项工作的进展。
The Pope and the President
教皇和总统
There are a variety of opponents to our work.
我们的工作遭到各方人士的反对。
We were condemned by the Vatican and mentioned in a negative light in President Bush's State of the Union address.In a sense it's an honor because it shows that we're doing something significant.It's not every day that you get condemned by the Vatican and President Bush in the same week.
罗马教廷谴责我们,布什总统的国情滋文对我们也颇有微词。在某种意义上,这是一种荣耀,因为这表明我们正做着有重大意义的事情。一周之内同时遭到罗马教廷和布什总统的谴责,这样的事可不是天天发生的。
There's usually no dialogue between the researchers in the embryonic stem cell field and those who oppose it.
胚胎干细胞领域内的研究人员和持反对的人士之间往往没有对话。
It doesn't make sense to me that it's such an emotional and contentious topic.Logically,this is not life.I agree it's a potential life,but the vast majority of embryos never become life.The majority generate,don't implant and die.A fetus is a life.That argument makes sense to me,but it doesn't make sense to me look at an embryo in a lab and give it all the rights of a human life.
这个话题如此惹人激动,并引起诺大的争议,依我看来实在大可不必。从谴责上来讲,胚胎并不是生命。我承认胚胎有可能成为生命,但是,大多数胚胎永远不会成为生命。多数胚胎生成后,并不用于移植,随即消亡。胎儿具有生命。依我之见,那个观点才合乎情理。但是,看着实验室的胚胎,赋予它人命的一切权利,在我看来,则是有失偏颇。

necessity. In other words, to get the genetic material from inside the cells to
analyze it, you have to destroy the cell. We would have loved to have been able
to avoid destroying them.
在分析的过程中,我们必须毁掉那些胚胎。换句话说,从细胞里提取遗传物质进行分析,你只得毁坏细胞。我们多么希望能够避免毁掉它们啊。

it doesn't make sense to me to look at an embryo in a lab and give it all the

这个话题如此惹人激动,并引起偌大的争议,依我看来实在大可不必。从逻辑上讲,胚胎并不是生命。我承认胚胎有可能成为生命,但是,大多数胚胎永远不会成为生命。多数胚胎生成后,并不用于移植,随即消亡。胎儿具有生命。依我之见,那个观点才合乎情理。但是,看着实验室里的胚胎,赋予它人命的一切权利,在我看来则有失偏颇。

大学英语综合教程3第5课课文原文及翻译:
Writing Three Thank-You Letters
Alex Haley
1 It was 1943, during World War II, and I was a young U. S. coastguardsman. My ship, the USS Murzim, had been under way for several days. Most of her holds contained thousands of cartons of canned or dried foods. The other holds were loaded with five-hundred-pound bombs packed delicately in padded racks. Our destination was a big base on the island of Tulagi in the South Pacific.
写三封感谢信
亚利克斯·黑利
那是在二战期间的1943年,我是个年轻的美国海岸警卫队队员。我们的船,美国军舰军市一号已出海多日。多数船舱装着成千上万箱罐装或风干的食品。其余的船舱装着不少五百磅重的炸弹,都小心翼翼地放在垫过的架子上。我们的目的地是南太平洋图拉吉岛上一个规模很大的基地。
2 I was one of the Murzim's several cooks and, quite the same as for folk ashore, this Thanksgiving morning had seen us busily preparing a traditional dinner featuring roast turkey.
我是军市一号上的一个厨师,跟岸上的人一样,那个感恩节的上午,我们忙着在准备一道以烤火鸡为主的传统菜肴。
3 Well, as any cook knows, it's a lot of hard work to cook and serve a big meal, and clean up and put everything away. But finally, around sundown, we finished at last.
当厨师的都知道,要烹制一顿大餐,摆上桌,再刷洗、收拾干净,是件辛苦的事。不过,等到太阳快下山时,我们总算全都收拾停当了。
4 I decided first to go out on the Murzim's afterdeck for a breath of open air. I made my way out there, breathing in great, deep draughts while walking slowly about, still wearing my white cook's hat.
我想先去后甲板透透气。我信步走去,一边深深呼吸着空气,一边慢慢地踱着步,头上仍戴着那顶白色的厨师帽。
5 I got to thinking about Thanksgiving, of the Pilgrims, Indians, wild turkeys, pumpkins, corn on the cob, and the rest. 我开始思索起感恩节这个节日来,想着清教徒前辈移民、印第安人、野火鸡、南瓜、玉米棒等等。
6 Yet my mind seemed to be in quest of something else -- some way that I could personally apply to the close of Thanksgiving. It must have taken me a half hour to sense that maybe some key to an answer could result from reversing the word "Thanksgiving" -- at least that suggested a verbal direction, "Giving thanks."
可我脑子里似乎还在搜索着别的事什么――某种我能够赋予这一节日以个人意义的方式。大概过了半个小时左右我才意识到,问题的关键也许在于把Thanksgiving这个字前后颠倒一下――那样一来至少文字好懂了:Giving thanks。
7 Giving thanks -- as in praying, thanking God, I thought. Yes, of course. Certainly.
表达谢意――就如在祈祷时感谢上帝那样,我暗想。对啊,是这样,当然是这样。
8 Yet my mind continued turning the idea over.
可我脑子里仍一直盘桓着这事。
9 After a while, like a dawn's brightening, a further answer did come -- that there were people to thank, people who had done so much for me that I could never possibly repay them. The embarrassing truth was I'd always just accepted what they'd done, taken all of it for granted. Not one time had I ever bothered to express to any of them so much as a simple, sincere "Thank you."
过了片刻,如同晨曦初现,一个更清晰的念头终于涌现脑际――要感谢他人,那些赐我以诸多恩惠,我根本无以回报的人们。令我深感不安的实际情形是,我向来对他们所做的一切受之泰然,认为是理所应当。我一次也没想过要对他们中的任何一位真心诚意地说一句简单的谢谢。
10 At least seven people had been particularly and lastingly helpful to me. I realized, swallowing hard, that about half of them had since died -- so they were forever beyond any possible expression of gratitude from me. The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I became. Then I pictured the three who were still alive and, within minutes, I was down in my cabin.
至少有七个人对我有过不同寻常、影响深远的帮助。令人难过的是,我意识到,他们中有一半已经过世了――因此他们永远也无法接受我的谢意了。我越想越感到羞愧。最后我想到了仍健在的三位,几分钟后,我就回到了自己的舱房。
11 Sitting at a table with writing paper and memories of things each had done, I tried composing genuine statements of heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to my dad, Simon A. Haley, a professor at the old Agricultural Mechanical Normal College in Pine Bluff, Arkansas; to my grandma, Cynthia Palmer, back in our little hometown of Henning, Tennessee; and to the Rev. Lonual Nelson, my grammar school principal, retired and living in Ripley, six miles north of Henning.
我坐在摊着信纸的桌旁,回想着他们各自对我所做的一切,试图用真挚的文字表达我对他们的由衷的感激之情:父亲西蒙·A·黑利,阿肯色州派因布拉夫那所古老的农业机械师范学院的教授;住在田纳西州小镇亨宁老家的外祖母辛西娅·帕尔默;以及我的文法学校校长,退休后住在亨宁以北6英里处的里普利的洛纽尔·纳尔逊牧师。
12 The texts of my letters began something like, "Here, this Thanksgiving at sea, I find my thoughts upon how much you have done for me, but I have never stopped and said to you how much I feel the need to thank you -- " And briefly I recalled for each of them specific acts performed on my behalf.
我的信是这样开头的:“出海在外度过的这个感恩节,令我回想起您为我做了那么多事,但我从来没有对您说过自己是多么想感谢您――”我简短回忆了各位为我所做的具体事例。
13 For instance, something uppermost about my father was how he had impressed upon me from boyhood to love books and reading. In fact, this graduated into a family habit of after-dinner quizzes at the table about books read most recently and new words learned. My love of books never diminished and later led me toward writing books myself. So many times I have felt a sadness when exposed to modern children so immersed in the electronic media that they have little or no awareness of the marvelous world to be discovered in books.
例如,我父亲的最不同寻常之处在于,从我童年时代起,他就让我深深意识到要热爱书籍、热爱阅读。事实上,这一爱好渐渐变成一种家庭习惯,晚饭后大家围在餐桌旁互相考查近日所读的书以及新学的单词。我对书籍的热爱从未减弱,日后还引导我自己撰文著书。多少次,当我看到如今的孩子们如此沉迷于电子媒体时,我不由深感悲哀,他们很少,或者根本不了解书中所能发现的神奇世界。
14 I reminded the Reverend Nelson how each morning he would open our little country town's grammar school with a prayer over his assembled students. I told him that whatever positive things I had done since had been influenced at least in part by his morning school prayers.
我跟纳尔逊牧师提及他如何每天清晨和集合在一起的学生做祷告,以此开始乡村小学的一天。我告诉他,我后来所做的任何有意义的事,都至少部分地是受了他那些学校晨祷的影响。
15 In the letter to my grandmother, I reminded her of a dozen ways she used to teach me how to tell the truth, to share, and to be forgiving and considerate of others. I thanked her for the years of eating her good cooking, the equal of which I had not found since. Finally, I thanked her simply for having sprinkled my life with stardust.
在给外祖母的信中,我谈到了她用了种种方式教我讲真话,教我与人分享,教我宽恕、体谅他人。我感谢她多年来让我吃到她烧的美味菜肴,离开她后我从来没吃过那么可口的菜肴。最后,我感谢她,因为她在我的生命中撒下美妙的遐想。
16 Before I slept, my three letters went into our ship's office mail sack. They got mailed when we reached Tulagi Island.
睡觉前,我的这三封信都送进了船上的邮袋。我们抵达图拉吉岛后都寄了出去。
17 We unloaded cargo, reloaded with something else, then again we put to sea in the routine familiar to us, and as the days became weeks, my little personal experience receded. Sometimes, when we were at sea, a mail ship would rendezvous and bring us mail from home, which, of course, we accorded topmost priority.
我们卸了货,又装了其它物品,随后我们按熟悉的常规,再次出海。 一天又一天,一星期又一星期,我个人的经历渐渐淡忘。我们在海上航行时,有时会与邮船会合,邮船会带给我们家信,当然这是我们视为最紧要的事情。
18 Every time the ship's loudspeaker rasped, "Attention! Mail call!" two hundred-odd shipmates came pounding up on deck and clustered about the two seamen, standing by those precious bulging gray sacks. They were alternately pulling out fistfuls of letters and barking successive names of sailors who were, in turn, shouting back "Here! Here!" amid the pushing.
每当船上的喇叭响起:“大伙听好!邮件点名!”200名左右的水兵就会冲上甲板,围聚在那两个站在宝贵的鼓鼓囊囊的灰色邮袋旁的水手周围。两人轮流取出一把信,大声念收信水手的名字,叫到的人从人群当中挤出,一边应道:“来了,来了!”
19 One "mail call" brought me responses from Grandma, Dad, and the Reverend Nelson -- and my reading of their letters left me not only astonished but more humbled than before.
一次“邮件点名”带给我外祖母,爸爸,以及纳尔逊牧师的回信――我读了信,既震惊又深感卑微。
20 Rather than saying they would forgive that I hadn't previously thanked them, instead, for Pete's sake, they were thanking me -- for having remembered, for having considered they had done anything so exceptional.
他们没有说他们原谅我以前不曾感谢他们,相反,他们向我致谢,天哪,就因为我记得,就因为我认为他们做了不同寻常的事。
21 Always the college professor, my dad had carefully avoided anything he considered too sentimental, so I knew how moved he was to write me that, after having helped educate many young people, he now felt that his best results included his own son.
身为大学教授的爸爸向来特别留意不使用任何过于感情化的文字,因此, 当他对我写道,在教了许许多多的年轻人之后,他认为自己最优秀的学生当中也包括自己的儿子时,我知道他是多么地感动。
22 The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a "simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right," he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.
纳尔逊牧师写道,他那平凡的传统校长的岁月随着学校里发生的如此迅猛的变化而结束,他怀着自我怀疑的心态退了休。“说我做得不对的远远多于说我做得对的,” 他写道,接着说我的信给他带来了振奋人心的信心:自己的校长生涯还是有其价值的。
23 A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her "settin' down" some letter to relatives. Character by character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours. I wept over the page representing my Grandma's recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me -- whom she used to diaper!
一看到外祖母那熟悉的笔迹,我顿时回想起往日站在她的白色摇椅旁看她给亲戚写信的情景。外祖母一个字母一个字母地慢慢拼出一个词,接着是下一个词,因此写满一页要花上几个小时。捧着外祖母最近花费不少工夫对我表达了充满慈爱的谢意,我禁不住流泪――从前是她给我换尿布的呀。
24 Much later, retired from the Coast Guard and trying to make a living as a writer, I never forgot how those three "thank you" letters gave me an insight into how most human beings go about longing in secret for more of their fellows to express appreciation for their efforts.
许多年后,我从海岸警卫队退役,试着靠写作为生,我一直不曾忘记那三封“感谢”信是如何使我认识到,大凡人都暗自期望着有更多的人对自己的努力表达谢意。
25 Now, approaching another Thanksgiving, I have asked myself what will I wish for all who are reading this, for our nation, indeed for our whole world -- since, quoting a good and wise friend of mine, "In the end we are mightily and merely people, each with similar needs." First, I wish for us, of course, the simple common sense to achieve world peace, that being paramount for the very survival of our kind.
现在,感恩节又将来临,我自问,对此文的读者,对我们的祖国,事实上对全世界,我有什么祝愿,因为,用一位善良而且又有智慧的朋友的话来说,“我们究其实都是十分相像的凡人,有着相似的需求。”当然,我首先祝愿大家记住这一简单的常识:实现世界和平,这对我们自身的存亡至关重要。
26 And there is something else I wish -- so strongly that I have had this line printed across the bottom of all my stationery: "Find the good -- and praise it."
此外我还有别的祝愿――这一祝愿是如此强烈,我将这句话印在我所有的信笺底部:“发现并褒扬各种美好的事物。”
Thanksgiving, like Spring Festival, brings families back together from across the country. Waiting for her children to arrive, Ellen Goodman reflects on the changing relationship between parents and children as they grow up and leave home, often to settle far away.
如同春节那样,散居各处的美国人到感恩节就回家团聚。埃伦·古德曼在等待着子女回家的同时,思索着当子女长大离家,常常在远方定居之后,父母与子女关系的不断变化。

The Watery Place
Issac Asimov
1 We're never going to have visitors from space. No extraterrestrials will ever land on Earth -- at least, any more.
水 乡
伊萨克•阿西莫夫
我们不会再有太空游客前来了。外星人将不会登陆地球――至少是再也不会了。
2 I'm not just being a pessimist. As a matter of fact, extraterrestrials have landed. I know that. Space ships are crisscrossing space among a million worlds, probably, but they will never come here. I know that, too. All on account of a ridiculous error.
我这不是悲观。事实上,外星人登陆过地球。这个我知道。在宇宙的千百万颗星球当中穿梭往来的太空飞船可能有许多,可它们永远不会再来我们这儿了。这我也知道。而这一切都是由于一个荒唐的错误导致的。
3 I'll explain.
且听我解释。
4 It was actually Bart Cameron's error and you'll have to understand about Bart Cameron. He's the sheriff at Twin Gulch, Idaho, and I'm his deputy. Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax. You see, besides being sheriff, he also owns and runs the general store, he's got some shares in a sheep ranch, he's got a kind of pension for being a disabled veteran (bad knee) and a few other things like that. Naturally, it makes his tax figures complicated.
这实际上是巴特•卡默伦的错,所以你得对巴特•卡默伦这人有所了解。他是爱达荷州特温加尔奇的治安官,我是他的副手。巴特•卡默伦是个脾气暴躁的人,到了他不得不整理个人应缴多少所得税时更是容易光火。你想,他除了当治安官,还经营着一家杂货铺,并拥有一家牧羊场的股份,同时还享有残疾退伍军人(膝盖受过伤)津贴,以及其他某些类似的津贴。这样一来他的个人所得税计算起来自然就变得复杂。
5 It wouldn't be so bad if he'd let a taxman work on the forms with him, but he insists on doing it himself and it makes him a bitter man. By April 14, he isn't approachable. 要是他让税务人员帮他填表就不至于那么糟糕,可他非得要自己填,于是填得他牢骚满腹。每年到了4月14日,他就变得难以接近。
6 So it's too bad the flying saucer landed on April 14, 1956.
那个飞碟在1956年4月14日这一天登陆真是大错特错。
7 I saw it land. My chair was backed up against the wall in the sheriff's office, and I was looking at the stars through the windows and wondering if I ought to knock off and hit the sack or keep on listening to Cameron curse real steady as he went over his columns of figures for the hundred twenty-seventh time.
我是看着它降落的。当时我的椅子背靠着治安官办公室的墙,我正望着窗外的星星,琢磨着是不是该下班去睡觉,还是继续听卡默伦骂个不停,他正在第127次核对他在税单上填写的一栏栏数字。
8 It looked like a shooting star at first, but then the track of light broadened into two things that looked like rocket exhausts and the thing came down without a sound.
一开始像是颗流星,可接着那轨迹越来越亮,变成两个光点,就像是火箭喷出的气流,那个东西一点没出声就着落了。
9 Two men got out.
两个人走了出来。
10 I couldn't say anything or do anything. I couldn't choke or point; I couldn't even bug my eyes. I just sat there.
我没法说话,也无法做事。喉部肌肉僵直,也没法用手示意,甚至眼睛都没法瞪大。我就那么呆坐着。
11 Cameron? He never looked up.
卡默伦?他压根儿就没抬起过头。
12 There was a knock on the door. It opened and the two men from the flying saucer stepped in. I would have thought they were city fellows if I hadn't seen the flying saucer land. They wore gray suits, with white shirts and dark red-brown ties. They had on black shoes and black hats. They had dark complexions, black wavy hair and brown eyes. They had very serious looks on their faces and were about five foot ten apiece. They looked very much alike.
有敲门声。门开了,飞碟上的那两个人走了进来。要不是我看着飞碟降落,我还会以为他们就是镇上的人。两人身着灰套装、白衬衣,戴着深红棕色的领带。他们穿着黑皮鞋,戴着黑帽子,肤色黑黑的,卷曲的头发黑黑的,眼睛呈棕色。两人神情严肃,身高都在5.10英尺左右,看上去非常相象。
13 God, I was scared.
天哪,我害怕极了。
14 But Cameron just looked up when the door opened and frowned. He said, "What can I do for you, folks?" and he tapped his hand on the forms so it was obvious he hadn't much time.
可卡默伦只是在门开的那会儿略一抬头,皱了皱眉头。 “有什么事吗,伙计?”他边说边用手拍着税单,显然正忙着呢。
15 One of the two stepped forward. He said, "We have had your people under observation a long time." He pronounced each word carefully and all by itself.
那两人中的一个走上前说道:“我们对你们的人已经观察很久了。”他说话时小心翼翼一字一顿的。
16 Cameron said, "My people? All I got's a wife. What's she been doing?"
卡默伦说:“我们的人?我只有老婆一个人。她干什么来着?”
17 The fellow in the suit said, "We have chosen this locality for our first contact because it is isolated and peaceful. We know that you are the leader here."
穿西装的那人说:“我们选择此地作为第一接触点,因为这里偏僻安静。我们知道您是这里的首领。”
18 "I'm the sheriff, if that's what you mean, so spit it out. What's your trouble?"
“我是治安官,这是你要说的吧,有什么话就直说, 你们遇到什么麻烦了?”
19 "We have been careful to adopt your mode of dress and even to assume your appearance. We have also learned your language."
“我们非常谨慎,沿用了你们的衣着模式,甚至采用了你们的外貌。我们还学习了你们的语言。”
20 You could see the light break in on Cameron. He said, "You guys foreigners?" Cameron didn't go much for foreigners, never having met many outside the army, but generally he tried to be fair.
你可以看到卡默伦脸上开始现出领悟的神情。他说:“你俩是外国人?”卡默伦不怎么喜欢外国人,退伍后就没怎么见过外国人,不过总的来说他尽力做到为人公正。
21 The man from the saucer said, "Foreigners? Indeed we are. We come from the watery place your people call Venus."
飞碟来人说:“外国人?正是如此。我们来自你们称之为金星的水乡。”
22 Cameron never blinked an eye. He said, "All right. This is the U.S.A. We all got equal rights regardless of race, color, or nationality. I'm at your service. What can I do for you?"
卡默伦连眼也没眨一下便说:“好吧。这里是美国。我们这儿不论种族、肤色、国籍,一律平等。我为你们效劳。你们有何贵干?”
23 "We would like to have you make immediate arrangements for the important men of your U.S.A., as you call it, to be brought here for discussions leading to your people joining our great organization."
“我们希望您马上与贵国,即你们所说的美国的要人联系,前来此地商讨加入我们组织的事宜。”
24 Slowly, Cameron got red. "Our people join your organization. We're already part of the U.N. and God knows what else. And I suppose I'm to get the President here, eh? Right now? In Twin Gulch? Send a hurry-up message?" He looked at me, as though he wanted to see a smile on my face, but I couldn't as much as fall down if someone had pushed the chair out from under me.
卡默伦的脸色渐渐涨红。“我们加入你们的组织。我们已经是联合国的成员了,天知道还有别的什么。我想是让我把总统找来,呃?就现在?前来特温加尔奇?要我送去一封加快信?”他看了看我,似乎想在我脸上看到一丝笑意,可此刻若有人从我身后把椅子抽开,我也不会摔倒在地。
25 The saucer man said, "Speed is desirable."
飞碟来人说:“事不宜迟。”
26 "You want Congress, too? The Supreme Court?"
“你们想不想要国会也来?还有最高法院?”
27 "If they will help, sheriff."
“那也无妨,治安官。”
28 And Cameron really went to pieces. He banged his income tax form and yelled, "Well, you're not helping me, and I have no time for wise guys who come around, especially foreigners. If you don't get the hell out of here straight away, I'll lock you up for disturbing the peace and I'll never let you out."
这下卡默伦真的气坏了。他把税单向桌上重重地一摔,叫道:“好啊,你们跟我添乱,我可没时间跟你们这些自作聪明的人纠缠,尤其是外国人。要是你们不马上从这里滚出去,我就以扰乱治安罪把你们关起来,永远不放你们出来。”
29 "You wish us to leave?" said the man from Venus.
“您是要我们离开?”金星人问。
30 "Right now! Get the hell out of here and back to wherever you're from and don't ever come back. I don't want to see you and no one else around here does."
“这就走!滚出去,滚回你们老家去,别再回来。我不想见到你们,这儿谁都不想见到你们。”
31 The two men looked at each other.
那两人对望了一眼。
32 Then the one who had done all the talking said, "I can see in your mind that you really wish, with great intensity, to be left alone. It is not our way to force ourselves or our organization on people who do not wish us or it. We will respect your privacy and leave. We will not return. We will put a warning around your world and none will enter."
一直作为发言人的那人于是说:“看得出您确实极其不愿受到打搅。我们从不愿将我们自己或我们组织的意见强加于无意接受者。我们尊重您的私人自由,马上离开。我们将不再返回。我们会在你们地球周围发布警告,不再会有人前来。”
33 Cameron said, "Mister, I'm tired of this garbage, so I'll count to three -- "
卡默伦说:“先生,够了,别再胡说八道了,我要开始数3――”
34 They turned and left, and I just knew that everything they said was so. I was listening to them, you see, which Cameron wasn't, because he was busy thinking of his income tax, and it was as though I could hear their minds, know what I mean? I knew that there would be a kind of fence around earth, keeping others out.
那两人转身离去,我当然知道他们说的句句是实话。你知道,我一直在听他们说,卡默伦可没有,他一心只想着他的税单,而且我似乎知道了他们脑子里在想什么,你明白我的意思吗?我知道地球周围会竖起一道屏障,使他人无法进入。
35 And when they left, I got my voice back -- too late. I screamed, "Cameron, for God's sake, they're from space. Why'd you send them away?"
他们走了之后,我才能又开口说话――已经太迟了。我高声叫起来:“天哪,卡默伦,他们是从太空来的。你为什么要赶他们走?”
36 "From space!" He stared at me.
“从太空来的!”他两眼瞪着我。
37 I yelled, "Look!" I don't know how I did it, he being twenty-five pounds heavier than I, but I heaved him to the window by his shirt collar.
我大喝一声:“你看!”我到现在都不明白是怎么一回事,他比我重了25英磅,可我竟然扯着他的衣领把他拽到了窗前。
38 He was too surprised to resist and when he recovered his wits enough to make like he was going to knock me down, he caught sight of what was going on outside the window and the breath went out of him.
他震惊之下都没有反抗,等他回过神来想要把我击倒时,正好看见窗外的情景,顿时气都喘不出来了。
39 They were getting into the flying saucer, those two men, and the saucer sat there, large, round, shiny and kind of powerful, you know. Then it took off. It went up easy as a feather and a red-orange glow showed up on one side and got brighter as the ship got smaller till it was a shooting star again, slowly fading out.
他们正在进入飞碟,就是那两人,飞碟就在那儿,知道吗,大大的, 圆圆的,亮晶晶的,挺有气势的。接着飞碟起飞了。它轻轻巧巧地上升,像根羽毛似的,一侧发出一道桔红色的光芒,那光越来越强烈,飞碟变得越来越小,最后重新变成一颗流星渐渐消失。
40 And I said, "Sheriff, why'd you send them away? They had to see the President. Now they'll never come back."
我说:“治安官,你什么要赶他们走?他们要见总统。这下他们再也不会回来了。”
41 Cameron said, "I thought they were foreigners. They said they had to learn our language. And they talked funny."
卡默伦说:“我当他们是外国人。他们说的,要学我们的语言。而且他们说的话莫名其妙。”
42 "Oh, fine. Foreigners."
“哼,得了,还外国人呢。”
43 "They said they were foreigners and they looked Italian. I thought they were Italian."
“他们说自己是外国人,两人看上去像是意大利人。我以为他们是意大利人。”
44 "How could they be Italian? They said they were from the planet Venus. I heard them. They said so."
“他们怎么会是意大利人呢?他们说他们是从金星来的。我听见的。他们是这么说的。”
45 "The planet Venus." His eyes got real round.
“金星。”他的眼睛瞪得越发圆了。
46 "They said it. They called it the watery place or something. You know Venus has a lot of water on it."
“他们是这么说的。他们把它叫做水乡什么的。要知道,金星上多的是水。”
47 But you see, it was just an error, a stupid error, the kind anyone could make. Only now Earth is never going to have another Venusian visit us. That dope, Cameron, and his income tax!
所以你瞧,这仅仅是个错误,一个愚蠢的错误,那种人人都可能犯的错误。只是从今往后地球上再也不会有任何金星人来访了。卡默伦这个笨蛋,还有他那该死的税单!
48 Because he whispered, "Venus! When they talked about the watery place, I thought they meant Venice!"
只听他嘀咕道:“金星!他们说水乡的时候,我还以为他们指的是威尼斯呢!”
Is there life on other planets? Not on those surrounding our sun, it seems. But what of other stars? Do they have planets capable of supporting life? This article sets out to explore the possibilities.
其他行星上是否有生命存在?太阳周围的那些行星上似乎没有。但在其他星系呢?它们是否拥有能维持生命的行星?本文试图探索这种可能性。
