昨天的讲的

Added to A is B. 

(这是一个完全倒装：主系表倒装为表系主）

用法和：Adding to A is B  完全一样；

Added to biological factors is the psychological reason.

除了生理原因外，还有心理原因。

今天的句子：

Inevitably, accelerating the path to market for pharma firms involves a trade-off. 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.

思考题：

判断：It is always better to wait for a more certain treatment. 

词汇突破：

第一句：

Inevitably, accelerating the path to market for pharma firms involves a trade-off.

主干识别：（accelerating the path to market for pharma firms 主语） involves a trade-off.

切分成分：Inevitably, 不可避免地

参考译文：加快药企进入市场的途径不可避免地涉及到权衡。

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.

主干识别：

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

进一步切分：

whose efficacy is known with 80% certainty

whose= treatment’s 

翻译的时候可以把option转译为动词，give 不翻译；

让人们5年内能选择可知有效率达80%的药物

To do B= to wait 20 years for one with 99% certainty.

One=treatment 

用20年来等待有效率达99%

参考译文：让人们5年内能选择可知有效率达80%的药物， 完全可能比用20年来等待有效率达99%的药物更好。

思考题：

判断：It is always better to wait for a more certain treatment.

根据最后一个句子可以知道这个的题目答案是：FALSE；

明天的句子：

The more sophisticated science becomes, the harder it is to communicate results. Papers today depend on chains of computer programs, which tend to be both so sloppily written and so central to the results that it’s contributed to a replication crisis, or put another way, a failure of the paper to perform its most basic task: to report what you’ve actually discovered, clearly enough that someone else can discover it for themselves.

思考题：

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