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(shí)候都更供應(yīng)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(jìn)書籍的 出版商卻在三星級餐廳享用一日三餐;倡導(dǎo)在人生各個(gè)階段的參與民主制的記者，他的子女卻就讀于私立學(xué)校。

　　8. No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professional and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word "amateur" does carry a connotation that person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not share its values.

　　[參考譯文] 科學(xué)領(lǐng)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?yàn)槿魏我?guī)則都有例外。然而，"業(yè)余"一詞的確意味著相關(guān)人員不能充分融入職業(yè)科學(xué)界，尤其未能分享科學(xué)圈子的價(jià)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(huì)在尤以數(shù)學(xué)或?qū)嶒?yàn)室訓(xùn)練為基礎(chǔ)的自然學(xué)科領(lǐng)域表現(xiàn)最為明顯，并且可以英國的地質(zhì)學(xué)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(gè)半世紀(jì)英國地質(zhì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的出版物做一下比較，(我們)就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)不僅對科研的主導(dǎo)地位的強(qiáng)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。
