6. Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs--the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago.
[參考譯文] 當然，人們現(xiàn)在對成功及其各種標志的興趣似乎并不亞于先前。消夏 別墅、歐陸旅行、寶馬車--地點、地名以及品牌或許會有變化，但這類事物在今天被人渴求的程度也似乎不會亞于一二十年前。
7. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.
[參考譯文] 相反，我們被款待看到這樣一些虛偽的壯觀景象，他們似乎比以前的任何時候都更供應充足：美國式物質(zhì)主義的批判者卻擁有位于南安普頓的避暑山莊：激進書籍的出版商卻在三星級餐廳享用一日三餐;倡導在人生各個階段的參與民主制的記者，他的子女卻就讀于私立學校。

[參考譯文] 科學領域的專業(yè)人員和業(yè)余愛好者之間劃不出涇渭分明的界線：因為任何規(guī)則都有例外。然而，"業(yè)余"一詞的確意味著相關人員不能充分融入職業(yè)科學界，尤其未能分享科學圈子的價值。
9. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United kingdom.
[參考譯文] 很自然，這種趨勢會在尤以數(shù)學或?qū)嶒炇矣柧殲榛A的自然學科領域表現(xiàn)最為明顯，并且可以英國的地質(zhì)學發(fā)展作例證來說明。
10. A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper.
[參考譯文] 將過去一個半世紀英國地質(zhì)學領域的出版物做一下比較，(我們)就會發(fā)現(xiàn)不僅對科研的主導地位的強調(diào)不斷攀升，而且一篇可接受的科研論文所包含的內(nèi)容的定義也有所變化。
