本文是一篇演讲稿。演讲稿的展开方式一般有并列式、递进式、并列递进结合式。本文即为递进式结构,这种结构一般在文章最后总结点题。如本文首先介绍了基因和基因组的概念和作用;然后描述了基因组编辑技术如何用以治疗和预防各种疾病;随后话锋一转,点出这一技术的不正当使用可能会引发道德等层面的问题;最后展望未来,对基因组编辑这一革命性的医学技术予以肯定。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.I am full of excitement about the possibilities this scientific advance can bring and I hope to share my excitement with you today.
赏析:本句中的“am full of excitement”写出了作者对基因组编辑所能带来的可能性满怀兴奋之情。
2.As the technology continues to develop at a fast pace, however, questions arise about how to use it appropriately.
赏析:本句中用however一词与前文内容构成转折关系,引出基因组编辑令人担心的问题。
3.Despite the public argument over this technology, its possibilities have been creating much excitement throughout the entire medical community and beyond.
赏析:本句使用despite使前后文内容形成鲜明的对比,增强了反差效果,突出演讲者对于基因组编辑技术前景的乐观态度。
4.Without doubt, genome editing is one of the greatest inventions in the history of science.
赏析:本句中使用了Without doubt作状语,来修饰整个句子,该表达常用于强调所表述的观点。

毫无疑问,长城是世界上最好的旅游胜地之一。
(二)赏句式之高
1.Over the course of my career, I have seen many wonderful scientific developments, but none are as game-changing as genome editing.
赏析:后半句中,“as+adj.+as”与表示否定的代词none连用,在此表示最高级含义,能够起到加强语气的作用,引起听众的关注和共鸣。
2.We will also be able to select specific characteristics for children before they are born, creating what some have called “designer babies”.
赏析:本句中运用了before引导的时间状语从句,具体阐释了采用该技术的时间,然后用分词短语creating ...介绍了采用该技术所取得的结果。

(三)赏修辞之功
1.One day soon we will be able to use genome editing to increase the human resistance to colds and flu, to make people taller, to help their muscles develop faster, to sharpen all of their senses or to make them more intelligent.
赏析:本句中出现了多个不定式短语连用,这种排比修辞手法可以增加演讲的节奏感和音韵美,突出演讲者的雄辩口才和强烈感情,增强演讲语言的气势,提高说服力。
2.Without them, genome editing could be as dangerous as a car out of control.

中医不仅是中国传统医学的重要组成部分,也是中国文化的重要载体,其独特的理论和实践方法对人类医学科学技术的发展具有启示作用。近年来,中医在国际上的影响力逐渐增强,已被多个国家和地区认可并纳入其医疗保健体系,为疾病的预防和治疗提供了新的选择。
China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture.In comparison with Western methods, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach.For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore .
The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence of the balance between yin and yang.Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and yin is the inner base to store and provide energy.When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.
One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法), means insertion of needles into superficial structures of the body — usually at acupoints (穴位) — to restore the yin-yang balance.It is often accompanied by moxibustion (艾灸疗法), which involves burning mugwort (艾叶) on or near the skin at an acupoint.
practiced today is The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is considered the fundamental and most representative medical text in China.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles.And TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition.The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies.In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of Traditional Chinese Medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO.
