38、d this years award in March.正如到 300.在今年三月接受今年的基礎物理學獎的時候所說的那樣，金的基礎物理學獎的確是個有趣的嘗試。（這一獎項的本質與獎有著天壤之別，后者只有當一項成果已經經歷了徹底的測試和驗證被認定為是性的進展，有時往往與最初的相隔幾十年的光景。與此相反，基礎物理學獎似乎以那些理論上的進步為目標，在這次獲獎的 9 位科學家中，有 6 人都從事與弦理論有關的研究。）Yuri Milner投資人：、Whatsup、AirBnB、 Snapchat、Spotify 等以及阿里巴巴、京東、滴滴、小米和美團等公司。 And it is far from the

39、 only one of its type.1.far from being;China is far from being a world economy leader.中國遠不是世界的者。同類型的獎項也遠非這一個。As a News Feature article in Nature discusses, a string of lucrative awards for researchers have joined the Nobel Prizes in recent years.正如自然雜志上一篇專題文章所討論的那樣，近年來一系列金額豐厚的獎項加入到了獎的行列。Many, like t

40、he Fundamental Physics Prize, are funded from the telephones-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs.像基礎物理學獎一樣，很多獎項的經費來自互聯網企業家的賬戶。These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields, they say, and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science

41、.這些出資人在他們所選領域獲得了。他們想用他們的讓人們去關注那些在科學上取得的人。Whats not to like? Quite a lot, according to a handful of scientists quoted in the News Feature.有什么不妥呢？就專題的少數科學家的話來講，有很多。You cannot buy class, as the old saying goes, and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels.俗話說，你買不來的

42、聲望。，這些新興的企業家沒法給他們設立的獎項買來像獎那樣The new awards are an exercise in self-promotion for those behind them, say scientists.科學家們說，這些獎只不過是設立這些獎的人的自我炒作而已。這些獎是背后的企業家們為了自我宣傳而設置的。They could distort the achievement-based system of peer-review-led research.他們會扭曲以成果為基礎，以評審為引導的體系。They could cement the status quo of p

43、eer-reviewed research.他們會使評審研究的現狀不前。They do not fund peer-reviewed research.他們資助評審研究。They perpetuate the myth of the lone genius.Perpetuate: 使長存；myth of the lone genius 個人天才的神話The goals of the prize-givers seem as scattered as the criticism.A seem as scattered as BA 和B 一樣，各不相同；A are as diversified a

44、s B和批評一樣，獎項設立者的目標也不盡相同。Some want to shock, others to draw people into science, or to better reward those who have made their careers in research.有的人是為了想世界，其他人是為了吸引從事科學研究，有些人想更好地回報那些以科學研究為事業的人。have made their careers in research. 以科研為事業的人He has made his career in teaching. 他以教書為事業。As Nature has point

45、ed out before, there are some legitimate concerns about how science prizeboth new and old are distributed.Legitimate：合理的，正當的，合法的；Legitimacy （，合理性）地位！就如自然雜志以往指出過的那樣，科學獎項（無論新舊），其分配方式確有值得擔心之處。The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, launched this year, takes an unrepresentative view of what the life sc

47、comes to acknowledging the discovery of the Higgs boson.A outgrow B ：A 使B 不適應 A 了B has been outgrown by A .但是，獎在設立時規定每個獎項最多有三名獲獎者，而且每個人必須依然活著；這種理念早就不適應現代研究的大規模協作這一事實了。就如談到玻色子的發現頒獎時，都會不可避免地爭論誰被忽略了，這點也證明了現代研究的大規模協作這一事實。The collaborative nature of modern research will be demonstrated by the inevitable

50、ne.第一，如果頒獎，大多數獲獎者都會接受獎金Second, it is surely a good thing that the money and attention come to science rather than go elsewhere.第二，金錢和關注匯聚到科學領域而不是其他領域是件好事。It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism- that is the culture of research, after all-but it is the prize-givers money to do with as they

51、 please.批評和質疑獎項機制無可厚非，畢竟這是研究的錢，別人怎么花都行吧！的一部分。但是這些錢是別人頒獎人It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.明智的做法是以感恩的心優雅地接受獎金。第八篇譯文：In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific meth

52、od to carry out their work.在科學研究的理想狀態下，關于世界的事實正在等待著那些客觀的研究者去觀察和收集， 研究者們會用科學的方法來開展他們的研究工作。But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route.但是在每天的科學實踐中，發現通常遵循一條模糊且復雜的路徑。We aim to be objective, but we cannot escape the context of our unique life e

53、xperience.我們的目標是做到客觀，但我們卻無法逃離我們獨特的人生體驗這樣一個環境。Prior knowledge and interest influence what we experience, what we think our experiences mean, and the subsequent actions we take.之前的知識和會影響到我們的經歷，影響到我們對于經歷意義的思考，以及影響到我們采取的后續行動。Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self-deception abound.這里充滿著，錯誤和

54、自我的可能性。Consequently, discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience.所以，發現的應該被作為科學的原型。Similar to newly staked mining claims, they are full of potential.這些類似于新礦勘探的，都充滿著可能性。But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery.但是把發現的變成成發現需要集體的和接受。

55、This is the credibility process, through which the individual researchers me, here, nowbecomes the commus anyone, anywhere, anytime.這個過程被稱之為“取得信用的過程”，通過這一過程，一個單個研究者的我，此處，現在變成了這個社區中的任何人，任何地方，任何時間。Objective knowledge is the goal, not the starting point.客觀的知識不應該是起點而是目標。Once a discovery claim becomes pu

56、blic, the discoverer receives intellectual credit.“這里的 public 到底是什么意思？真的需要本文來賦予其含義，還真不能靠我們字面理解。”一旦發現的變成“public”,這個發現者就獲得了學術的認可。But, unlike with mining claims, the commutakes control of what happens next.但是和采礦不同的是，科學界會接管接下來發生的事情。Within the complex social structure of the scientific commu, researchers makediscoveries; editors and reviewers agatekeepers by controlling the publication process; otherscientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes; and finally, the public （inclu
