A: Academia Sinica certainly conducts truly upstream and cutting-edge research, but no one knows whether this research has market value. We therefore need to design a set of evaluative mechanisms, "translational research," that connects upstream researchers with downstream manufacturers.
答：以中研院來說，它做的研究確實很上游、很尖端，有沒有市場開發的價值都不確定，因此必須設計一套機制去評估，這就是銜接上、下游的「轉譯研究」。
