2021考研英語長難句復習（一二六）

　　

　　Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way — in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother’s hip replacement, a father’s bypass operation, a baby’s vaccinations, and even a pet’s shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.

　　參考譯文

　　科學家必須以一種富有同情心的、可理解的方式向公眾傳達他們的信息——用人類的語言，而不是用分子生物學的語言。我們需要弄清楚動物研究與祖母的髖關節(jié)置換手術、父親的心臟搭橋手術、嬰兒的疫苗接種，甚至寵物的注射之間的聯(lián)系。對那些不知道需要動物研究來生產這些療法以及新療法和疫苗的人來說，動物研究往好了說是浪費，往壞了說是殘忍。

　　【翻譯小作業(yè)】

　　對那些不知道需要強大能力去負擔家庭開銷的年輕人來說，結婚往好了說是浪漫，往壞了說是依賴。
