abused sexually in the past months.

3. But Michael Flickinger, 54, founding director of the University of Minnesota's

Biotechnology Institute, had found a way to make hydrogen—then electricity—from

genetically engineered bacteria embedded in the adhesive latex polymer particles

that form the basis of most paints.

但是明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)生物技術(shù)研究所的創(chuàng)始人和所長(zhǎng)、54 歲的邁克爾·弗利金杰，

已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種由基因工程生產(chǎn)的細(xì)菌制取氫——然后發(fā)電——的方法，而

這些細(xì)菌是被加入構(gòu)成大多數(shù)油漆底料的沾性膠乳聚合物顆粒中去的。

4. genetically modified crops 轉(zhuǎn)基因作物

5. Engineers have been recording information magnetically and reading it out

electrically since the dawn of the computer age, but as they have endeavored to pack

more and more data onto their machines, they have been forced to use smaller and

fainter magnetic inscriptions and thus more and more sensitive read-out devices.

自從進(jìn)入計(jì)算機(jī)時(shí)代，工程師們一直在利用磁力來(lái)記錄信息并通過(guò)電流將它讀出，

但是因?yàn)樗麄兘吡ο氚言絹?lái)越多的數(shù)據(jù)擠壓到他們的機(jī)器中，所以他們不得不使

用更小、更微弱的磁性記入，這樣一來(lái)，越來(lái)越靈敏的讀出磁頭就出現(xiàn)了。

6. Scott also wants to sell more organically grown food and cotton clothing, partly

because it's good for the planet, partly because he believes he can get prices down

and boost sales to low-income customers.

斯科特還想銷售更多有機(jī)食品和棉布服裝，一方面因?yàn)檫@樣做對(duì)地球有利，另一

方面他認(rèn)為，他可以降低商品價(jià)格，從而提高對(duì)低收入顧客的銷量。

7. A lens that has developed a cataract can be removed surgically and replaced by an

artificial one.

已發(fā)展為白內(nèi)障的晶狀體可通過(guò)外科手術(shù)摘除，換一個(gè)人工的。

8. Researchers turned their efforts toward the ultimately failed chemically powered

lasers.

研究人員將努力轉(zhuǎn)向以失敗告終的化學(xué)激光器。

9. The fact the Aztecs mathematically calculated areas has been known since 1980s,

but until now there was little understanding of they did it.

自 1980 年以來(lái)人們就知道，阿茲特克人用算術(shù)來(lái)計(jì)算土地面積，但直到現(xiàn)在，

我們對(duì)于阿茲特克人是如何進(jìn)行計(jì)算的仍然知之甚少。
