In reading the pages of American Scientist, I have been struck by the stunning progress being made in science and engineering, new phenomena discovered, new materials synthesized, new methods developed. (46)
What I see behind many of these exciting stories is the widespread and even revolutionary use of distributed intelligence that is made possible by the "wiring" of the scientific community.
It is more than a time saver or a communication enhance; it is enabling us to think in new ways and its impact on society may be monumental.
The term "information age" probably does not do justice to the possibilities of this emerging era. (47)
This is an age of "knowledge and distributed intelligence", in which knowledge is available to anyone, located anywhere, at any time; and in which power, information, and control are moving from centralized systems to individuals.
This era calls for a new form of leadership and vision from the academic science and engineering community. We know from countless examples that the academic science and the engineering have enabled our society to make the most of new technologies. We wouldn’t have today’s advanced computer graphics systems if mathematicians hadn’t been able to solve problems related to surface geometry. (48)
We wouldn’t have networks capable of handling massive amounts of data if physicists and astronomers hadn’t continuously forged tools to look more deeply into subatomic structures and the cosmos.
Chemists’ efforts to simulate complex phenomena and predict the properties of many electron systems have inspired massively parallel architectures for computing. And the information made available by the sequencing of the human genome has caused us to rethink how to store, manipulate, and retrieve data most effectively. (49)
It will take new insights from studies of human cognition, linguistics, neurobiology, computing, and more to develop systems that truly augment our capacity to learn and create.
The best may be yet to come.
Despite brutally tight constraints on federal discretionary spending, President Clinton has stepped forward to champion a 3 percent increase (uncorrected for inflation) in the national 1998 budget. The president’s request is only the first step in the congressional budget process ahead. (50)
Given that the priorities of Congress will almost certainly differ from those of the president, it will take an unprecedented level of input and commitment from the research community to ensure the investments in science and engineering.
选项
答案
考虑到国会的优先权几乎肯定与总统的不同,那么要想保证科学和工程学的投资,就要从科研机构那里接收一笔可观的投入和赞助。
解析
句子框架是it will take an unprecedented level of input and commitment from…to ensure the investments…。it为形式主语,真正的主语为不定式结构to ensure the investments…。句首的given为介词,后跟that从句译为“考虑到……”。指示代词those代指前面提到的the priorities,以避免重复。priorities此处不要译成“优先考虑”,而是美国国会的“优先权”。an unprecedented level of转译为“一笔可观的”;commitment此处引申译为“赞助”。
