参考原文：

A Science plays an increasingly significant role in people’s

lives, making the faithful communication of scientific

developments more important than such communication is

fraught with challenges that can easily distort discussions,

leading to unnecessary confusion and misunderstandings.

B Some problems stem from the esoteric nature of current research

and the associated difficulty of finding sufficiently faithful

terminology. Abstraction and complexity are not signs that a given

scientific direction is wrong, as some commentators have

suggested, but are instead a tribute to the success of human

ingenuity in meeting the increasingly complex challenges that

nature presents. They can, however, make communication more

difficult. But many of the biggest challenges for science

reporting arise because in areas of evolving research, scientists

themselves often only partly understand the full implications of

any particular advance or development. Since that dynamicapplies

to most of the scientific developments that directly affect

people’s lives global warming, cancer research, diet studies—

learning how to overcome it is critical to spurringa more informed

scientific debate among the broader public.

C Ambiguous word choices are the source of some

misunderstandings. Scientists often employ colloquial

terminology, which they then assign a specific meaning that is

impossible to fathomwithout proper term

“relativity,” for example, is intrinsically misleading. Many

interpret the theory to mean that everything is relative and there

are no absolutes. Yet although the measurements any observer makes

depend on his coordinates and reference frame, the physical

phenomena he measures have an invariant description that

transcends that observer’s particular coordinates. Einstein’s

theory of relativity is really about finding an invariant

description of physical

phenomena. True, Einstein agreed with the idea that his theory

would have been better named “Invariantentheorie.” But the term

“relativity” was already entrenched at the time for him to

change.

D “The uncertainty principle” is another frequently abused

term. It is sometimesinterpreted as a limitation on observers and

their ability to make measurements.

E But it is not about intrinsic limitations on any one particular

measurement;it is about the inability to precisely measure

particular pairs of quantitiessimultaneously? The first

interpretation is perhaps more engaging from aphilosophical or

political perspective. It’s just not what the science is about.

F Even the word “theory” can be a problem. Unlike most people,

who usethe word to describe a passing conjecture that they often

regard as suspect,physicists have very specific ideas in mind when

they talk about physicists, theories entail a

definite physical framework embodied in aset of fundamental

assumptions about the world that lead to a specific set ofequations

and predictions—ones that are borne out by successful

es aren’t necessarily shown to be correct or

complete Einstein took the better part of a

decade to develop the correct versionof his theory of general

relativity. But eventually both the ideas and themeasurements

settle down and theories are either proven correct, abandoned

orabsorbed into other, more encompassing theories.

G “Global warming” is another example of problematic

ologists predict more drastic fluctuations in

temperatureandrainfall— not necessarily that every place will be

warmer. The namesometimes subverts the debate, since it lets

people argue that their winter wasworse, so how could there be

global warming? Clearly “global climate change”would have been

a better name. But not all problems stem solely from poorword

choices. Some stem from the intrinsically complex nature of much

ofmodern science. Science sometimes transcends this limitation:

remarkably,chemists were able to detail the precise chemical

processes involved in thedestruction of the ozone layer, making

the evidence that chlorofluorocarbongases (Freon, for example)

were destroying the ozone layer indisputable.

H A better understanding of the mathematical significance of

results and lessinsistence on a simple story would help to

clarifymany scientific several months, Harvard was

tortured months, Harvard was torturedby empty debates over the

relative intrinsic scientific abilities of men andwomen. One of

the more amusing aspects of the discussion was that thosewho

believed in the differences and those who didn’t used the same

evidenceabout gender-specific special ability. How could that be?

The answer is that thedata shows no substantial effects. Social
