37.Be Careful about Cloning
謹慎對待克隆
After a series of initial experiments and corrections, the scientist’s hard work paid off when the twin clone turkeys were hatched with normal feather and claws. This breakthrough possibly enabled people to bring their adore d pets back to life. However, it bothered him from time to time that their health was in poor condition because they were unable to resist illnesses. This drawback cast him down. Merely 2 weeks later, the clones and their carrier died, which struck frustration into his heart. He retired before he attained his ambition and became a member of an opera chorus to relieve his depression.
在最初一系列的實驗和修正之後，科學家的辛苦工作終於取得了成功，一對雙生的克隆火雞孵化出來，羽毛和 爪子都很正常。這一突破或許能讓人們使他們喜愛的寵物死而復生。然而，使他不時地煩惱的是，因為它們無法抵抗疾病，使得它們的健康狀況極差。這個缺點讓他很沮喪。僅僅過了2個星期，克隆體和母體都死亡了，這
使他內心裡充滿了挫折，他也因此在達到自己目標前就退休了，並選擇加入歌劇合唱團來減輕消沉的感覺。Shortly afterwards, the media published a conservative argument objecting to cloning
owing to moral problems, and suggested the constitution include compulsory regulations to forbid obtaining commercial profits from cloning.之後不久，媒體就因為道德 問題而發表了反對克隆的保守論點，並且建議憲法應該包括強制性的法規禁止通過克隆獲得商業利益。
When interviewed, the scientist stared at the decorations on the ceiling, thinking for a while, and then said, “I’m not in favour of any arbitrary assumption, but undertaking cloning does differ from the straightforward procedure of making loafs out of flour. Until we accumulate enough exact knowledge, any practice is in vain and is bound to fail. Altogether, being more careful is reasonable or we may walk into a side road.”
當被採訪時，科學家盯著天花板上的裝飾物思考了一會兒，說：“我不
贊成任何任意的假設，但是從事克隆與用麵粉製作麵包的簡單過程確實不大相同。在我們積累了足夠的準確知識前，任何實際操作都是徒勞無功的，註定會失敗。總而言之 ，更加謹慎地對待克隆是合理的，否則我們或許會誤入歧途。”閱讀更多 名豪英語 的文章
