Indeed, today, too many areas that are being called “science” – for example, collecting biased statistics in order to make a politician’s (or corporation’s) point, or publishing a variation of existing knowledge – fall far short of scientific standards of originality and the quest for basic insight.
其实今天有太多的领域被称之为“科学”——比方说搜集偏颇的统计数据用来支持某政治家（或某企业）的观点，或者公开更改现有的知识——这些所谓的科学远没有科学本身所应具备的独创性和对基本观点的追求。
