||1: Fertilising these eggs for experimentation is forbidden in America. Britain’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, however, will allow it in certain cases. ||2: So next month Dr Tilly will take some of his stem cell booty to Edinburgh to collaborate with Evelyn Telfer, who has developed a technique for growing human eggs from an early stage. ||3: She holds a licence to fertilise them experimentally.

||1:美国禁止为实验用的卵细胞受精，不过英国的人类受精和胚胎学管理局将在某些研究中允许给卵细胞授精。||2: 所以，下个月Tilly博士将带着卵细胞去爱丁堡与Evelyn Telfer合作。 ||3: Evelyn Telfer掌握了用卵母细胞培育卵细胞的技术，持有给试验用细胞授精的许可。

||1: This broad definition allows the pair to be grumpy old men and indulge in some fierce complaining about various aspects of modern British society. ||2: At times, it seems as if almost everything is a sign of Britain’s decline, including the decision to revoke the Syrian ambassador’s invitation to last year’s royal wedding. ||3: The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority is the subject of a rant, as are the growing powers of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. ||4: Inward investment by China is not a sign of confidence in Britain, but instead dismissed as a token of national humiliation: “What was good enough for the Congo was good for the United Kingdom.”

||1:这个广泛的定义使得两位作者像脾气暴躁的老人一样对当代英国社会的很多方面进行了凌厉的批评。||2:有时，给人感觉好像每一件事情都是英国衰落的写照，包括在去年皇室婚礼上取消对叙利亚大使的邀请。||3:人类受精和胚胎局管理局以及税务海关总署日益膨胀的权力都是被严厉攻击的目标。||4:此外，来自中国的投资在英国被贬低为是国家耻辱而非信心的标志：“对刚果那种国家足够好的东西竟然对英国好。”

||1: The discovery could revolutionise infertility treatment for women in several ways. ||2: For one thing, research has shown that in mice, even aged ovaries contain ovarian stem cells. And when those stem cells are placed into a young ovary, they will develop healthy eggs. ||3: This raises the possibility that, one day, women of advanced age could have their own biologically related children. ||4: Currently, many women over 45 have to make do with in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) using the egg of a younger woman.

||1:这项发现会是女性不育症治疗的一场革命。||2:一方面，老鼠体内衰老的卵巢里也有卵巢干细胞；将这些细胞移植到年轻的卵巢中后，它们能制造健康的卵子。||3:这意味着将来的某天，年龄较大的妇女也能拥有生物学意义上的自己的孩子。||4:目前，许多45岁以上的妇女只能凑合着用年轻女人的卵细胞进行体外受精（IVF）。

Offshoring fertilisation .

国外受精。

IF THERE is any endeavour whose fruits should be freely available, that endeavour is surely publicly financed science. Morally, taxpayers who wish to should be able to read about it without further expense. And science advances through cross-fertilisation between projects. Barriers to that exchange slow it down.

如果有人试图把成果免费公开的话，那他一定是科学资助者，确实，纳税人都希望不再花额外的钱来阅读科学著作，并且科学的进步也是通过各个学科之间的相互促进吸收，而其间的交流障碍使这种进步慢了下来。

The highly essential cross-fertilisation of people with skills in markets and supervision will become a little more difficult to promote.

此外，促进具市场经验与监管技术这两类人员之间交流经验的重要工作，将会较难推动。

Against the uncertainty over thresholds and CO2 fertilisation must be weighed farmers’ ability to adapt to change and improve yields.

临界点及二氧化碳肥沃作用的不确定性，必须成为农民适应气候变化和提高产量的能力需要考虑的事情。

PS This year’s medicine prize was awarded to Robert Edwards for his work on in vitro fertilisation .

另外，今年的医学奖颁给了罗伯特-爱德华兹，他因其在体外受精方面获得的成果而得此奖项。

A Test Conclusion of Balance Fertilisation about Young Soya Bean

毛豆平衡施肥试验小结

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority is the subject of a rant, as are the growing powers of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

人类受精和胚胎学管理局以及权利日涨的税务海关总署都成为了他们抨击的对象。

Personhood supporters say the measure would not ban in-vitro fertilisation , but neither would it permit unused embryos to be destroyed.

人权支持者们说这项举措不会禁止试管婴儿，但它也不会允许销毁未使用的胚胎。

There are even some signs of cross-fertilisation.

甚至有交叉孕育的迹象。

The effects of fertilisation and acidification favour common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles.

施肥效应与酸化效应有利于草、荆棘和荨麻等常见侵略性物种的生长。

In-vitro fertilisation presents a moral difficulty for Catholics and evangelicals who believe that life begins at conception.

体外授精给天主教徒和新教徒提出了一个道德难题，因为他们相信生命始于孕育。

But the crowds appeared thickest around the stalls that advertised donated eggs for in vitro fertilisation .

Local schemes, particularly ocean fertilisation , need not be that expensive.

一些地区性的计划，尤其是富化海洋，没必要那么昂贵。

Fertilisation can still take place without the bloke mantis’s head, though.

这家伙的头都没有了，但是，交配仍然在进行。

The embryos in question have no future anyway (they are usually "spares" from in vitro fertilisation procedures).

这些被质疑的胚胎不管怎么说通常没有未来（他们经常是体外受精的备用品）。

They are used for identification because they are fully formed 24 weeks after fertilisation and do not change throughout our lives.

之所以指纹被用来识别身份，是因为在受精完成24周后指纹就会完全形成，并且在人此后的一生都不会改变。

And at least one private firm has come in for criticism for attempting to sell carbon credits based on ocean fertilisation .

至少有一家私人企业因尝试出售基于海洋富化的二氧化碳贷款而受到评论。
