基因工程类英文翻译

Genetic engineering is an important issue in society today. Some people think that it will improve people’s lives in many ways. Others feel that it may be a threat to life on earth. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is true that genetic engineering is a key area of modern scientific research, with broad implications for all human societies. While I accept that this（代词衔接） field of technology may have its dangers, I believe that the benefits of genetic engineering outweigh the drawbacks.

立场是站了双边中的some people，根据立场句的逻辑结构，主体段a会讨论dangers，主体段b讨论benefits。

genetic engineering 基因工程，主题。

broad implications 广泛的影响。Implications在这里指可能的结果。

The negative implications of genetic engineering are often discussed in terms of two key areas, which are food production and the cloning of humans（当我们在讨论很广泛的话题层面时，论述内容就可以用分类/定义焦点的方法来合理组织。换乱的思路立马就归纳成两个讨论方向，段内结构能清晰化）.Genetically modified crops are already being grown, and people are concerned that they may damage whole ecosystems as foods become resistant to diseases and natural predators. But perhaps even more worrying is the possibility that humans could be modified or cloned. Some people imagine a world in which cloned humans are used to fight wars or to provide body part replacements. Although perhaps not a threat to life on earth, the implications of such practices would be unprecedented.

此段讨论了基因工程的负面影响，分为食物生产和克隆人两方面的讨论。

转基因的食物会对生态带来损害；严重性递进到克隆人。

Genetically modified 转基因的

Resistant 有抵抗力的

Predators 捕食者

loned humans 克隆人

nprecedented 空前的

A more optimistic prediction, and one that I favour, is that humans will find ways to mitigate the risks and use genetic technologies in a responsible way. From the food production perspective（分论点1，食物方面的积极影响）,genetic engineering could be the solution to famine in developing countries, if, for instance, crops can be grown more reliably in harsh conditions. From a medical perspective（分论点2，医疗方面的积极影响）, scientists may use genetic engineering to produce vaccines, to cure diseases, or to correct a genetic defect before a child is born. If properly regulated, even cloning can be done in a way that improves lives. For example, the cloning of individual organs, such as a heart or kidney, could be permitted for transplant purposes.

此段讨论了基因工程的好处，也是分为与上段同样的两个论述角度来讨论。

有的同学会问，同样的角度既讲好处又讲不好，不会很矛盾吗？请关注，双边讨论中的双边观点，即some people and others, 双方观点本身就是矛盾关系。

Mitigate 缓解

Famine 饥荒

Vaccines 疫苗

genetic defect 遗传缺损

transplant 移植

In conclusion, I am convinced that genetic engineering will have a positive impact on our lives, and that people's fears will be unwarranted.

世上无难事，只要肯放弃。
