七、科技（生物工程，信息技術，醫學方面）
例19：
The ongoing economic globalization and rapid advancement of science and technology have generated unprecedented technological conditions for global economic and social development in the new century.
當前，經濟全球化和科學技術的突飛猛進為新世紀全球經濟和社會發展創造了前所未有的技術條件。

However, the information and communications development worldwide is seriously unbalanced. The gap between the rich and the poor in enjoying the benefits of and utilizing information resources and information technologies is widening instead of narrowing.
然而，世界范圍內信息技術發展極不平衡，貧富國家享有和利用信息資源和技術的差距不是在縮小，而是在擴大。

Narrowing and ultimately eliminating the “digital divide” is a major issue to be addressed in the process of building the information society. Otherwise, we would not be able to attain the goal of sustainable, sound and coordinated development of the global information society.
如何讓縮小直至消除“數字鴻溝”，是建設信息社會過程中急需解決的重大問題。否則，我們就無法在全球范圍內實現信息社會持續，健康和協調發展的目標。

Against this backdrop, the international community decided to convene a World Summit on the Information Society to discuss and find solutions to issues related to the development of the information society. Such a decision is absolutely right and necessary.
在這種情況下，國際社會決定召開信息社會世界峰會，討論解決有關建設信息社會的問題無疑是正確的，必要的。

例20：
Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.
心臟病是英國最大的殺手，每年約有27萬人心臟病發作，并有近1/3的人在送抵醫院之前就停止了呼吸。

High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects one in five people in the UK and is a major risk factor for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted by blood on the walks of the arteries when the heart beats.
每五個英國人中就有一個患有高血壓，高血壓是心臟病發作的主要誘因。血壓升得越高，心臟跳動時血液對動脈壁施加的壓力就越大。

A study shows that the stress of returning to work on a Monday morning can trigger a dangerous increase in blood pressure. Most people are free of the mental and physical burdens of work on a Sunday and experience a more stressful change from weekend leisure activities to work activities on Mondays.
一項研究表明，周一早上重返工作時的壓力可以導致血壓升高到危險的程度。很多人在星期天卸下了工作帶來的精神和身體上的負擔，但是從周末的休閑活動轉換到周一的工作狀態時，他們面臨的壓力增大。

An early morning rise in blood pressure is probably a normal part of the body’s 24 hour rhythm and unlikely to be a problem for healthy people. However, if somebody already has cardiovascular disease, then it might just tip them over the edge and trigger a heart attack.
血壓在清晨高升很可能是人體24小時律動時的一種正常現象，對于健康的人來說，這不是什么問題。但如果有的人本來就有心血管疾病，那這就可能把他們逼到臨界點，導致心臟病發作。

例21：
For those of you who have ever seen our ads, you know that they end with the phrase, “everything is possible”. A cynic might say that is just a marketing slogan, but I actually believe that.
如果大家看到我們的廣告，就知道我們的廣告語是“萬事皆有可能”。也許有人會嘲諷說這是營銷口號，但是我們相信這是可以做到的。

I don’t think everything is easy and things happen right away. But I do think that everything is possible.
不可能所有的事情都一蹴而就，但是我們相信所有的事情都是有可能的。

For all the remarkable advancements we have seen in recent years, nothing had matched the power of information technology in changing our world for the better. And in the next decade, the impact it will exert is beyond our imagination today.
就我們最近看到的顯著進展而言，信息技術帶給世界的好處是任何其他力量無可比擬的。未來十年它能夠產生的影響是我們今天不可想象的。

I know something that might sound strange, because we always think of the dangers and challenges in the world around us. But I do believe this is an era of great promise and great opportunity.
有時候聽上去可能很奇怪，因為我們總是覺得周圍充滿了危險和挑戰，但我相信這確實是一個充滿機會和希望的時代。
