1:Dr Gray and Dr Wegner believe their findings argue that a big part of the uncanny-valley effect stems from expectations not being met.2:Robots are not expected to have feelings and when such feelings are found, it seems somehow wrong.3:Humans, by contrast, are expected to have feelings-and when such feelings are not found, the effect is equally frightening.4:Their conclusions will perhaps give pause to those who see the ultimate robot as something which physically resembles a human being.

1:Gray博士和 Wegner博士认为：他们的发现表明引起恐怖谷效应的大部分原因根源在于人们的预期没有得到满足。2:人们认为机器人不会有情感，当发现它们拥有情感时，人们就会觉得这是不正常的。3:相比之下，人类是有情感的，当人们发现某个人没有情感时，他们同样会感到恐惧不安。4:一些人认为机器人发展到最后，会在物质形态上与人类十分相似，但这次研究的结论可能会让他们断了这种念头。

1: CLIMATE science is famously complicated, but one useful number to keep in mind is "climate sensitivity". 2: This measures the amount of warming that can eventually be expected to follow a doubling in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. 3: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in its most recent summary of the science behind its predictions, published in 2007, estimated that, in present conditions, a doubling of CO2 would cause warming of about 3°C, with uncertainty of about a degree and a half in either direction. 4: But it also says there is a small probability that the true number is much higher. 5: Some recent studies have suggested that it could be as high as 10°C.

1:气候科学的复杂程度众所周知，但把一个指标记在脑中非常好用，那就是"气候敏感性"。2:该指标表示预计大气中二氧化碳浓度翻倍所能引致的升温量。3:政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）在其最近一次关于其预测背后的科学性的概要中（发布于2007年）估计，在如今的情况下，二氧化碳浓度翻倍将造成3°C左右的升温，上下误差在1.5度左右。4:但该概要也声称，真实数据有少许可能还要高得多。5:一些近期的研究也猜测气温上升可能达到10°C之高。

1: Air India keeps ticket prices uneconomically low. 2: When it slashed prices last year, it forced others to follow suit. 3: That, and India's high taxes on aviation fuel, make it hard for any airline to earn money. 4: Only one of India's six carriers, Indigo, a budget airline, is expected to post a profit this year. 5: Some blame the rise of Gulf airlines on international routes. 6: "Emirates is now the national airline of India. That's what people say," sighs the retired Air India man.

1:印度航空公司保持着不经济的低票价。2:去年，当它大幅下调票价时，它迫使市场中其它航空公司跟进。3:这一行为，连同印度对航空燃料收取的高额税费，使得航空公司赚钱异常困难。4:在印度六家航空公司中，只有靛蓝航空这一家廉价航空公司，在今年有望盈利。5:有些人把原因归为海湾地区一些航空公司在国际航线上的崛起。6:"阿联酋航空目前是大家公认的印度国家航空公司。"这位印度航空公司退休的职员叹息道。

1:That will be hard, particularly for dysprosium.2:Incremental improvements to motors and generators might be expected to bring demand down a bit.3:But barring a breakthrough in magnet technology (the discovery of a room-temperature superconductor, for example) the three researchers' figures suggest that the world's geologists would do well to start scouring the planet for rare-earth ores now.4:If they do not, the mood of the Chinese government may be the least of the headaches faced by magnet manufacturers.

1:这会是很困难的，对镝来说尤其如此。2:发动机和发电机的逐步改进可能会让需求有所下降。3:但这三位研究人员的数字说明，除非电磁技术发生突破（例如发现某种室温超导体），全世界的地质工作者还是现在就开始掘地三尺，全球搜寻稀土矿为妙。4:如果他们不这样做，在令磁铁制造商头疼的事情中，中国政府的心情可能是最微不足道的了。

How quickly economies make up lost time will depend on where they have ceded ground. Some indicators may bounce back quickly: share prices are forward-looking measures of expected returns that are constantly being reassessed. Just as they can crash down they can jump back up, boosting wealth.

经济恢复的快慢取决于它们在哪里反弹。一些指标可能会迅速反弹：股票价值就是对期望回报率不断地重新评估的前瞻性标尺。它们可以摔倒，也就能爬起来，继续向前。
