2014考研英語(yǔ)：邊閱讀邊記憶_跨考網(wǎng)

　　單詞記憶方法一直備受考生關(guān)注，各種記憶技巧令人眼花繚亂，小編認(rèn)為，無(wú)論那種方法能記住單詞就是好的方法。下面，小編給大家推薦一種邊閱讀邊記憶的方法，考生可以借鑒。

　　Science has long had an uneasy relationship with other aspects of culture. Think of Galileo’s 17th century trial for his rebelling belief before the Catholic Church or poet William Blake’s harsh remarks against the mechanistic worldview of Isaac Newton. The schism between science and the humanities has, if anything, deepened in this century.

　　Until recently, the scientific community was so powerful that it could afford to ignore its critics - but no longer. As funding for science has declined, scientists have attacked “anti-science” in several books, notably Higher Superstition, by Paul R. Gross, a biologist at the University of Virginia, and Norman Levitt, a mathematician at Rutgers University; and The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan of Cornell University.

　　Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as “The Flight from Science and Reason,” held in New York City in 1995, and “Science in the Age of (Mis)information,” which assembled last June near Buffalo.

　　譯文

　　科學(xué)與文化的其他方面的關(guān)系一直都很不穩(wěn)定。想想看，17世紀(jì)伽利略由于他叛逆性的信仰而遭受到天主教會(huì)的審判，詩(shī)人威廉?布萊克對(duì)艾薩克·牛頓的機(jī)械論世界觀進(jìn)行尖銳地批判。本世紀(jì)，科學(xué)與人文之間的分裂加劇了。

　　直到前不久，科學(xué)界有著如此之強(qiáng)大的權(quán)威以致可以對(duì)其批評(píng)者不予理會(huì)——但是現(xiàn)在不是這樣的情況了。由于科研經(jīng)費(fèi)減少，所以科學(xué)家出了幾本書(shū)對(duì) “反科學(xué)”勢(shì)力進(jìn)行批評(píng)，其中值得注意的有弗吉尼亞大學(xué)生物學(xué)家保羅·R·格羅斯和拉特格斯大學(xué)的數(shù)學(xué)家諾曼·萊維特合著的《高級(jí)迷信》及康奈爾大學(xué)的卡爾·薩根著的《鬼怪世界》。

　　科學(xué)的捍衛(wèi)者們也在一些會(huì)議上表示了他們的擔(dān)憂。比如，1995年在紐約市召開(kāi)的“遠(yuǎn)離科學(xué)和理性”會(huì)議，以及去年6月在布法羅市召開(kāi)的“信息(迷信)時(shí)代的科學(xué)”會(huì)議。
