　　2. In the end , only 7 out of 19 regular Cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all for trails. The diet-Cola drinkers did a little worse – only 7 of 27 identified all four sample correctly.

　　3. Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food.

　　4. It seems simple enough to distinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and to separate forces acting on an organism into those that are internal and biological and those that are external and environmental.

　　5. But in actual practice this system breaks down in many ways, because the organism and the environment are constantly interacting so that the environment is modified by the orgainism and vice versa (反之亦然).

　　6. In the case of man, the difficulties with the environment concept are even more complicated because we have to deal with man as an animal and with man as a bearer(持有者) of culture.

　　7. If we look at man as an animal and try to analyze the environmental forces that are acting on the organism, we find that we have to deal with things like climate, soil, plants, and such like factors common to all biological situations; but we also find, always, very important environmental influences that we can only class as “cultural”, which modify the physical and biological factors.

　　8. We thus easily get into great difficulties from the necessity of viewing culture, at one moment, as a part of the man and, at another moment, as a part of the environment.

　　9. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect.

　　10 Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generation phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it natrually follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.

　　1、問題是很難明確輻射的傷害—一個(gè)人可能感覺良好，但他(她)的性器官細(xì)胞可能受到損傷，而且有些直到生下畸形兒甚至是畸形孫兒才會(huì)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。

　　2、最后，只有7/19的傳統(tǒng)可樂愛好者正確地辨別出了他們的品牌，而低糖可樂愛好者水平更差—只有7/27的人辯出了四種混合的品牌。

　　3、口味是個(gè)非常主觀的問題，所以對(duì)于食物我們一般不進(jìn)行偏好測(cè)試。

　　4、區(qū)分周圍的環(huán)境或者有機(jī)物體，以及分辨作用于有機(jī)物的影響力是生物內(nèi)部的還是來自于外部環(huán)境的，看起來非常簡(jiǎn)單。

　　5、但是在實(shí)際中這套系統(tǒng)在很多方面失敗了，因?yàn)橛袡C(jī)物和環(huán)境在不斷相互作用，所以環(huán)境在不斷被有機(jī)物修改，反過來也是一樣。

　　6、對(duì)于人類來說，環(huán)境概念的問題更加復(fù)雜。因?yàn)槲覀儾坏貌话讶祟惍?dāng)為動(dòng)物，又不得不把人當(dāng)為文化的持有者來對(duì)待。

　　7、如果我們將人類看作動(dòng)物來嘗試解釋作用在有機(jī)物上的環(huán)境影響力的話，我們不得不處理像氣候，土壤，植物和一些對(duì)于所有生物環(huán)境來說共同的因素，但我們也發(fā)現(xiàn)，“文化”的影響也非常重大，它可以改變物理和生物因素。

　　8、所以我們很容易在對(duì)待文化的問題上陷入困境，有時(shí)候，我們將其看作人類的一部分，有時(shí)候，又作為環(huán)境的一部分。

　　9、因?yàn)椴涣私膺@些你那里他們的能力已經(jīng)進(jìn)步了，他們認(rèn)為在這個(gè)方面新一代的年輕人肯定沒有希望了。

　　10、既然這種關(guān)于英語語言的衰退的擔(dān)憂并不被看作一個(gè)一代人的現(xiàn)象，而是特指對(duì)于今天的年輕人的一種新現(xiàn)象，所以可以很自然地認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在的英語老師工作做得不好。
