今天的句子：

第一句：
Inevitably, accelerating the path to market for pharma firms involves a trade-off.
主幹識別：（accelerating the path to market for pharma firms 主語） involves a trade-off.
切分成分：Inevitably, 不可避免地
參考譯文：加快藥企進入市場的途徑不可避免地涉及到權衡。
第二句：
It may well be better to give people the option of a treatment in five years whose efficacy is known with 80% certainty than to wait 20 years for one with 99% certainty.
主幹識別：
It may well be better to do A than to do B.
切分成分：
To do A = to give people the option of a treatment in five years whose efficacy is known with 80% certainty
進一步切分：
whose efficacy is known with 80% certainty
whose= treatment’s
翻譯的時候可以把option轉譯為動詞，give 不翻譯；
讓人們5年內能選擇可知有效率達80%的藥物
To do B= to wait 20 years for one with 99% certainty.
One=treatment
用20年來等待有效率達99%
參考譯文：讓人們5年內能選擇可知有效率達80%的藥物， 完全可能比用20年來等待有效率達99%的藥物更好。
思考題：
判斷：It is always better to wait for a more certain treatment.
根據最後一個句子可以知道這個的題目答案是：FALSE；
明天的句子：

思考題：
What is the basic task of the scientific paper according to the text ?
