British public’s vote to leave the EU has set off political and scientific
shock waves that could roil Europe and the world for years to come. The decision
has dismayed scientists in the UK and across Europe, as it stands to disrupt
scientific funding and the UK’s stature in the European and international
research communities.
【译文】英国脱欧公投的决议在政治和科学方面引起了轩然大波，并可能在今后几年中令欧洲乃至全世界动荡不安。此决议让英国及全欧洲的科学人士倍感沮丧，因为它势必会中断科学方面的资金投入，并使英国在欧洲以及国际研究界的地位大打折扣。
The UK could spend two years or more negotiating the terms of its divorce
from the 28-member economic and political bloc. In that time, the country will
have to work through many difficult questions about what the separation means
for scientists and for global science policy. The breakup engenders concerns
that the UK could suffer a brain drain, either because their funding suffers or
because the loss of the EU guarantee of free movement across member states
causes scientists to lose their status in the UK, or to not feel welcome.
【译文】为了脱离这个由28个成员国所组成的经济和政治集团，英国将就相关条款进行为期2年或更为长久的谈判。在此期间，英国将处理脱欧给科学人士以及全球科学政策所带来的许多棘手问题。此次“分手”后，人们对于英国是否会遭受人才流失而忧心忡忡，因为他们的资金投入恐遭不测。此外英国的科学人士在成员国内自由出入境已不获欧盟批准，这也会令他们失去其在英国的原有地位，或因未受礼遇而心生不快。
The Brexit might possibly cause potential damage to the UK’s reputation as
a destination for top-flight researchers. Also at stake is European funding for
the UK’s research universities, which totals more than a billion pounds per
year. The UK’s departure from the EU may also diminish the country’s role in
influencing the union’s research plans. “In almost every area of science now,
you can’t be a lone wolf and do it on your own.” says Philip Jones, research
director of the university of East Anglia. “You have to work with others. And
the EU provides the potential.”
【译文】
脱欧有可能令英国声誉受损，从而无法令一流的研究学者趋之若鹜。同样受到影响的是欧盟对于英国研究型大学的资金投入，在此之前，欧盟的年均投入逾10亿英镑。英国离开欧盟的决定还有可能令该国在联盟研究计划中的影响力日渐式微。“在现代科学的几乎任何领域，你不能像独狼一样，孤身作战。”东英格利亚大学的研究总监Philip
Jones说道，“你必须借助其他力量，而欧盟则能够提供这种可能性。” |
