如果要比较科学和技术，可以说科学提供解释某一现象的基本知识，而技术吸取了这一理解，并把它转化为有用的东西。

San Paulo is South America’s leading industrial city, and two of its most significant manufacturing products are cars and computers. It is also Brazil’s main center for the coffee trade.

If I may compare science and technology, I could say that science provides the fundamental knowledge that explains a phenomenon, whereas technology takes that understanding and transform it into a useful thing.
