3. Facts prove the unjustifiability of claims that China will be unable to feed itself by the year 2020 .
事實(shí)證明:斷言中國(guó)到2020年將不可能養(yǎng)活自己是不合道理的。

8. Belief in the wonders of modern medical science is quite understandable . It is also quite possible that our faith in the ability of scientists to find the key for prolonging life are well-founded .

相信現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)的奇跡是可以理解的。很有可能我們相信科學(xué)家能夠找到延長(zhǎng)生命的關(guān)鍵也是有根據(jù)的。但是,考慮到已經(jīng)非常龐大的世界人口和預(yù)計(jì)的未來(lái)的增長(zhǎng),延長(zhǎng)生命是否明智仍有疑問(wèn)。
