本周第八条，原文链接：http://www.sciencemag.org/content/338/6113/1400.1.full.pdf London 8 New Money for U.K. Facilities 英国新增经费购买高端仪器 The United Kingdom’s finance minister, George Osborne, last week announced ￡600 million ($965 million) of new money for research over the next 3 years. The funding will be spent on big data and energy efficient computing, synthetic biology, and advanced materials. It also includes ￡100 million ($160 million) to sequence the genomes of 100,000 Britons with cancer and rare diseases. 英国财政部长George Osborne上周宣布新增经费中在未三年内会有6亿英镑（9.65亿美元）投入到科研中。这部分经费将用于大型数据和高能效计算，合成生物学和先进材料。此外还包括1亿英镑（1.6亿美元）用于获取十万患有癌症和罕见病症的英国人的基因组序列。 Researchers have welcomed the new funding. “The announcement today of an additional ￡600 million of capital investment will hopefully help ensure that our world leading scientists have world leading facilities with which to work,” said Royal Society President Paul Nurse in a statement. 科学家们欣然接受了这项新增款项。皇家学会主席Paul Nurse 在一份声明中表示，“这笔额外下拨的6亿英镑将有希望帮助我们世界级的优秀科学家们能够使用到世界高端的仪器设备。” But some say the money will simply make up for earlier cuts. The governing coalition cut capital spending in 2010 and froze the science budget at $7.4 billion, so its value has since been eroded by inflation. The government has made up some of that shortfall with chunks of new funding over the past 2 years, including this new pot of money. “We were hoping that [Osborne] would continue his trend of supporting science and engineering. … [T]he total amount of new funding since 2010 has now reached almost ￡2 billion [$3.2 billion],” said Imran Khan, director of the Campaign for Science and Engineering, an advocacy group. 然而，有些人说这笔钱仅仅是在填补之前的消减。英联邦政府消减了2010年的经费而且把科研预算限定在了74亿美元，所以这笔经费从那时起就开始被通货膨胀所蚕食。过去的两年里，政府已经开始用数笔新增款项，包括这一笔，补偿之前的亏空。倡议组织“科学工程运动”的负责人Imran Khan 说，“我们之前希望[Osborne]能继续保持对科学和工程支持的态势……新增经费的数额在2010年之后已经达到了将近20亿英镑（32亿美元）。” *************************************************************** Science的原文和本翻译仅用于网友交流学习之用，若您有其它用途，比如商业用途等，请联系Science杂志社了解原文使用权等相关事宜。谢谢！ |
