三、原文与译文
篇一｜美联储是什么（101–105）
原文 / 译文
¶1
The Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States, popularly called the Fed, is a central bank that serves as the banker to both the banking community and the government; it also issues the national currency, conducts monetary policy, and plays a major role in supervision and regulation of banks and bank holding companies. In the U.S., these functions are the responsibilities of key officials of the Federal Reserve System: the Board of Governors located in Washington, D.C., and the top officers of the 12 district Federal Reserve banks, located throughout the nation. The Fed's actions, described below, generally have a significant effect on U.S. interest rates and, subsequently, on stock, bond, and other financial markets.
译｜ 美国联邦储备系统（俗称美联储）是美国的中央银行体系，既为银行业也为政府充当银行；它还发行本国货币、执行货币政策，并在银行及银行控股公司的监管中发挥主要作用。在美国，这些职能由美联储体系的关键官员承担：位于华盛顿特区的理事会，以及分布全国的 12 家地区联邦储备银行的高层。美联储的行动通常对美国的利率、进而对股票、债券和其他金融市场产生重大影响。
¶2
The Federal Reserve's basic power is concentrated in the Board of Governors, which is paramount in all policy issues concerning bank regulation and supervision and in most aspects of monetary control. The board enunciates the Fed's policies on both monetary and banking matters. Because the board is not an operating agency, most of the day-to-day implementation of policy decisions is left to the district Federal Reserve banks. Although commercial banks put stock in the Fed, it does not imply they have direct control. The Board of Governors and the heads of the Reserve banks orient their policies to the public interest rather than to the benefit of the private banking system.
译｜ 美联储的基本权力集中于理事会，理事会在所有涉及银行监管的政策问题以及货币控制的大部分方面拥有最高权威。理事会阐明美联储在货币与银行事务上的政策。由于理事会不是执行机构，政策决定的日常执行大多交给地区联邦储备银行。虽然商业银行持有美联储的股份，但这并不意味着它们拥有直接控制权。理事会和储备银行行长们的政策取向是公共利益，而非私人银行体系的利益。
¶3
The U.S. banking system's regulatory apparatus is complex; the authority of the Federal Reserve is shared in some instances, for example, in mergers or the examination of banks, with other federal agencies such as the Controller of the Currency (COC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In the critical area of regulating the nation's money supply in accordance with national economic goals, however, the Federal Reserve is independent within the government.
译｜ 美国银行体系的监管架构十分复杂；美联储的权限在某些情形下（例如银行合并或银行检查）要与其他联邦机构分享，如货币监理署（COC）和联邦存款保险公司（FDIC）。然而，在依据国家经济目标调控货币供应这一关键领域，美联储在政府内部保持独立。

篇二｜有机农业能不能养活世界（106–110）
原文 / 译文
¶1
Organic agriculture is a relatively untapped resource for feeding the Earth's population, especially in the face of climate change and other global challenges. That's the conclusion I reached in reviewing 40 years of science comparing the long-term prospects of organic and conventional farming. The review study, “Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century,” is featured as the cover story for the February issue of the journal Nature Plants. It is the first to compare organic and conventional agriculture across the main goals of sustainability identified by the National Academy of Science: productivity, economics, and environment.
译｜ 有机农业是养活地球人口的一项相对未被开发的资源，在气候变化和其他全球挑战面前尤其如此。这是我回顾 40 年科学文献、比较有机农业与常规农业长期前景后得出的结论。这项综述研究《21 世纪的有机农业》成为《自然·植物》2 月刊的封面文章。它是首个按美国国家科学院确定的可持续性主要目标——生产力、经济与环境——来比较有机与常规农业的研究。
¶2
Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient, requiring more land to yield the same amount of food. It's true that organic farming produces lower yields, averaging 10 to 20 percent less than conventional. Advocates contend that the environmental advantages of organic agriculture far outweigh the lower yields, and that increasing research and breeding resources for organic systems would reduce the yield gap. Sometimes excluded from these arguments is the fact that we already produce enough food to more than feed the world's 7.4 billion people but do not provide adequate access to all individuals.
译｜ 批评者长期以来认为有机农业效率低，要产出同样多的食物需要更多土地。确实，有机农业产量较低，平均比常规农业低 10% 到 20%。支持者则认为，有机农业的环境优势远超产量损失，而且增加有机体系的研究与育种投入会缩小产量差距。这些争论有时忽略了一个事实：我们生产的粮食已经足够养活全球 74 亿人还有余，问题在于没有让所有人公平获得。
¶3
In some cases, organic yields can be higher than conventional. For example, in severe drought conditions, which are expected to increase with climate change in many areas, organic farms can produce as good, if not better, yields because of the higher water-holding capacity of organically farmed soils. What science does tell us is that mainstream conventional farming systems have provided growing supplies of food and other products but often at the expense of other sustainability goals. Conventional agriculture may produce more food, but it often comes at a cost to the environment. Biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and severe impacts on ecosystem services have accompanied conventional farming systems. With organic agriculture, environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greater. Overall, organic farms tend to store more soil carbon, have better soil quality, and reduce soil erosion compared to their conventional counterparts. Organic agriculture also creates less soil and water pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions. And it's more energy-efficient because it doesn't rely on synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants, animals, insects and microorganisms as well as genetic diversity. Despite lower yields, organic agriculture is more profitable for farmers because consumers are willing to pay more. Higher prices, called price premiums, can be justified as a way to compensate farmers for providing ecosystem services and avoiding environmental damage or external costs.
译｜ 在某些情况下，有机产量可以高于常规。例如，在严重干旱条件下（许多地区预计会随气候变化而增多），由于有机耕作土壤的持水能力更强，有机农场的产量即便不更高，也能一样好。科学确实告诉我们：主流常规农业提供了不断增长的食物和其他产品供应，但往往以牺牲其他可持续目标为代价。常规农业可能产出更多食物，却常常以环境为代价。生物多样性丧失、环境退化、对生态系统服务的严重影响，都伴随常规农业体系而来。采用有机农业，环境成本往往更低、收益更大。总体而言，与传统农业相比，有机农场往往储存更多土壤碳、土壤质量更好、水土流失更少。有机农业造成的土壤和水污染更少，温室气体排放也更低；而且由于不依赖合成化肥和农药，它更节能。有机农业还与植物、动物、昆虫和微生物更丰富的生物多样性以及遗传多样性相关联。尽管产量较低，有机农业对农民来说更有利可图，因为消费者愿意多付钱。这种更高的价格称为“价格溢价”，可以理解为对农民提供生态系统服务、避免环境破坏或外部成本的补偿。

篇三｜法国悖论（111–115）
原文 / 译文
¶1
For much of the past decade, American and British scientists have been annoyed by the phenomenon known as the French Paradox. Nutritionally speaking, the French have been getting away with murder: they eat all the butter, cream, foie gras, pastry and cheese that their hearts desire, and yet their rates of obesity and heart disease are much lower than ours. The French eat three times as much saturated animal fat as Americans do, and only a third as many die of heart attacks. It's maddening.
译｜ 过去十年的大部分时间，英美科学家一直被一种名为“法国悖论”的现象困扰。从营养学上讲，法国人简直是在“逍遥法外”：他们想吃多少黄油、奶油、鹅肝、糕点和奶酪就吃多少，肥胖率和心脏病发病率却远低于我们。法国人摄入的饱和动物脂肪是美国人的三倍，死于心脏病的人却只有美国的三分之一。这真让人抓狂。
¶2
Baffled, scientists struggled to come up with a few hypotheses: Maybe it was something in the red wine, they said. But while winemakers worldwide celebrated that news, more sober research has suggested that any alcohol — whether Lafite Rothschild, a banana daiquiri or a cold Bud — pretty much has the same nice, relaxing effect. So while a little wine is apt to do you good, the French aren't so special in having a drink now and then (though the fact that they drink wine moderately and slowly with meals, instead of downing shots at the bar, could make a difference). After the wine argument, scientists ventured that it must be the olive oil that keeps the French healthy. But this doesn't explain the butter or brie. Then, French scientist Serge Renaud said it's the foie gras that melts away cholesterol. This, too, is dicey: while people in Toulouse — the duck-liver-eating area of France — do indeed have one of the lowest rates of heart disease in the developed world, they actually only eat the delicacy about six times a year. And they're a lot more likely to die of stroke than we are anyway. Other researchers, perhaps sponsored by the garlic and onion industry, suggested that the French Paradox effect is due to garlic and onions. Claude Fischler, a nutritional sociologist at INSERM, says all these single hypotheses are more wishful thinking than science.
译｜ 科学家们大惑不解，努力提出几种假说：也许是红酒里的某种东西，他们说。可当全世界的酿酒商为此欢庆时，更冷静的研究表明，任何酒精——无论是拉菲、香蕉代基里还是冰百威——大致都有同样令人愉悦放松的效果。所以，少量葡萄酒或许对你有好处，但法国人时不时喝一杯并不特别（不过他们用餐时慢慢、适量地喝葡萄酒，而不是在酒吧灌烈酒，这一点可能确有差别）。红酒之说后，科学家又大胆推测：一定是橄榄油让法国人保持健康。但这解释不了黄油和布里奶酪。接着，法国科学家塞尔日·雷诺说，是鹅肝在化解胆固醇。这同样靠不住：图卢兹——法国吃鸭肝的地区——居民心脏病发病率确实是发达国家最低之一，但他们一年其实只吃六次这种美味；而且他们死于中风的概率本来也比我们高得多。其他研究者（或许由大蒜和洋葱行业赞助）提出，法国悖论效应应归功于大蒜和洋葱。法国国家健康与医学研究院的营养社会学家克洛德·菲施勒说，所有这些单一假说，与其说是科学，不如说是一厢情愿。
¶3
Last May, researchers writing in the British Medical Journal came up with the least cheerful hypothesis of all. They argued that it's just a matter of time before the French — who are in fact eating more hamburgers and French fries these days — catch up with Americans, and begin suffering the same high rates of cardiovascular disease. These researchers, Malcolm Law and Nicholas Wald, call this the “time lag explanation” for the French Paradox. As far as they are concerned, the McDonaldization (a French catch-all term for the importation of fast food and other American cultural horrors) of France will continue at a frantic pace, and it is as inevitable that French men will start keeling over of heart attacks as it is that French women will eventually wear jean shorts and marshmallow tennis shoes on the streets of Paris.
译｜ 去年 5 月，研究者在《英国医学杂志》上提出了最不令人乐观的假说。他们认为，法国人——如今确实在吃更多汉堡和薯条——追上美国人、开始承受同样高的心血管病发病率，只是时间问题。这两位研究者马尔科姆·劳和尼古拉斯·沃尔德称之为法国悖论的“时滞解释”。在他们看来，法国的“麦当劳化”（法国人泛指快餐和其他美国文化恐怖物的舶来）将以疯狂的速度继续；法国男人终将因心脏病倒下，正如法国女人终将在巴黎街头穿上牛仔短裤和棉花糖运动鞋一样，不可避免。

篇四｜公司治理改革为何失灵（116–120）
原文 / 译文
¶1
Over the past decade, American companies have tried hard to find ways to discourage senior managers from feathering their own nests at the expense of their shareholders. The three most popular reforms have been recruiting more outside directors in order to make boards more independent, linking bosses' pay to various performance measures, and giving them share options so that they have the same long-term interests as their shareholders. These reforms have been widely adopted by America's larger companies, and surveys suggest that many more companies are thinking of following their lead. But have they done any good? Papers published this week by the Boston Academy of Management suggest otherwise. The consequences have differed from those intended.
译｜ 过去十年，美国公司一直在努力寻找办法，阻止高管以牺牲股东利益为代价中饱私囊。最流行的三项改革是：增聘外部董事以使董事会更独立；把老板薪酬与各种业绩指标挂钩；给予股票期权，让他们与股东拥有相同的长期利益。这些改革已被美国大公司广泛采用，调查显示还有更多公司在考虑效仿。但它们真起作用了吗？本周波士顿管理学会发表的论文给出的答案是否定的：结果与初衷相悖。
¶2
Start with those independent directors. On the face of it, dismissing the boss's friends from the board and replacing them with outsiders looks a perfect way to make senior managers more accountable. But the Boston papers show that bosses with a boardroom full of outsiders are just as likely to get their own way — because outsiders are often seduced by the prestige and perks of board membership. All too often, these seductions succeed.
译｜ 先从独立董事说起。表面上看，把老板的亲信从董事会赶走、换上外部人，似乎是让高管更负责的完美办法。但波士顿的论文显示，董事会里坐满外部人的老板同样能我行我素——因为外部人常被董事席位的声望与好处所诱惑。这种诱惑往往屡屡得手。
¶3
For the latter two reforms, the papers argue that bosses tend to attend to measures that affect their own incomes and ignore or play down other factors that affect a company's overall success.
译｜ 对于后两项改革，论文认为，老板倾向于只关注影响自己收入的指标，而忽略或淡化影响公司整体成功的其他因素。
¶4
In short, bosses are quick to turn every imaginable system of corporate governance to their advantage, which is probably why they are the people who are put in charge of things. Here is a paradox for the management theorists — any boss who cannot beat a system designed to keep him or her under control is probably not worth having.
译｜ 简言之，老板们总能迅速把任何想得出的公司治理制度转化为自己的优势——这大概正是他们被委以重任的原因。对管理理论家来说，这里有个悖论：任何老板，如果能被一套旨在约束他的制度轻易制服，大概也不值得聘用。
题目与答案
