Directions: Put the following paragraph into English. Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer Sheet.
科学这个词似乎具有某种魅力。它一旦被提出，就应该立即得到认可，而不允许有任 何可能的讨论。这种需要人们立即认可的情况出现在广告中，但是基本上不合情理。要知 道，科学不是一种信条，也不是神灵向人类揭示物。它是人类思维的产物，因此是可以讨 论和修正的。科学绝无绝对真理，通常只有相对性。它以人的观察和经骑为基础，对人类 知识进行逻辑性的总结，然而人的观察和经骑总是有限的而且缺少一定的精确性。至于那 些用来对经验事实进行归类的逻辑则完全是我们大脑的产物。我们选择我们认为有着逻辑 联系的实验结果，而忽略许多不符合我们自己“逻辑”的事实。这种相当人为的选择结果是我 们自己的事。对此，我们非常得意，以至于主张这些人为选择的结果应该被当作“自然规律” 来对待。
The word- science-seems to contain some magic power. If put forward, it should bring about immediate consent, with no possible discussion. This situation is exploited for advertisement, but it is basically unsounD.Science is not a creeD.It was not revealed to man by some superior deity. Science is a product of the human brain, and as such, it is always open to discussion and possible revision. There is no absolute truth in it: rather relativity is its rule. It represents a logical summary of human knowledge, based on human observation and experience, both of which are always of limited range and finite accuracy. As for the logic introduced into the classification of empirical facts, it is typically a product of our brain. We select experimental results that appear to us as logically connect together, and we ignore many facts that do not fit into our-logiC.This rather artificial procedure is our own invention and we are so proud of it that we insist its results should be considered as- laws of nature.
