1.There is absolutely no reason for us to believe that a brighter future for the world is an impossibility.
　　我們絲毫沒有理由相信，世界不可能會有一個更光明的未來。
　　2.Meteorologists offer computer models leaving little doubt that this year’s El Nino phenomenon has disappeared.
　　氣象學(xué)家提供計算機模型，充分證明今年的厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)消失了。
　　3.Facts prove the unjustifiability of claims that China will be unable to feed itself by the year 2020.
　　事實證明：斷言中國到2020年將不可能養(yǎng)活自己是不合道理的。
　　4.Previous explanations of the rising divorce rate in China are simply untenable. The fact is that many marriages were simply based on convenience and wives are no longer willing to accept the abusive domineering attitudes of husbands.
　　以前對中國離婚率升高的解釋是完全站不住腳的。事實是許多婚姻僅僅建立在便利的基礎(chǔ)上，而且妻子不再愿意接受丈夫作威作福的態(tài)度。
　　5.Claim that entering the Chinese market offers foreign companies an immediate road to profits are grossly misstated and have been proven wrong time and again. The key to entering China rests with the phraseology vast potential market, and how long one is willing to wait for returns.
　　聲稱進(jìn)入中國市場會給外國公司帶來立即獲利的途徑是非常錯誤的，事實已經(jīng)一次次地證明了這一點。進(jìn)入中國的關(guān)鍵在于“廣闊的潛在市場”這一說法以及為了回報愿意等待多久。
　　6.Parents are not wrong in enforcing good study habits, but they must not do so at the expense of stifling normal child development.

　　7.It is quite reasonable to assume that modern science and technology (S&T) will continue to advance. It is no less reasonable to believe that S&T will radically improve the way we live. However, the same reasoning cannot be applied to improving social interaction.
　　假定現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)將繼續(xù)進(jìn)步是很有道理的。相信科技會大幅度地改變我們的生活方式也是同樣有道理的。然而，同樣的邏輯不能用于改善社會上的相互作用。
　　8.Belief in the wonders of modern medical science is quite understandable. It is also quite possible that our faith in the ability of scientists to find the key for prolonging life are well-founded. Yet, the wisdom of prolonging life remains in question when considering the already massive global population and projected future growth.
　　相信現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)的奇跡是可以理解的。很有可能我們相信科學(xué)家能夠找到延長生命的關(guān)鍵也是有根據(jù)的。但是，考慮到已經(jīng)非常龐大的世界人口和預(yù)計的未來的增長，延長生命是否明智仍有疑問。
　　9.It is one thing to support euthanasia, but quite another to offer any justification for genocide.
　　支持安樂死是一回事，為種族滅絕提供正當(dāng)?shù)睦碛墒橇硪换厥隆?
　　10.Claiming the need for censorship is one thing, but rationally proving its redeeming values represents a quite different issue.
　　主張審查制度的必要性是一回事，理智地證明它的可取之處是完全不同的另一回事。
