"I deeply regret the rash remarks I made to the media. We scientists should strive to maintain objective neutrality and refrain from declaring our affiliation either with milk chocolate or with dark chocolate," he said.
“对于我曾经的轻率言论我感到遗憾,作为科学家应该保持中立可观,避免对牛奶巧克力或黑巧克力表现过度的喜恶。”
"Now I ask that the media kindly respect my family's privacy in this difficult time."
“我希望媒体能在这时候尊重我的家庭隐私。”
It might surprise you that we are trying to make a serious point. This is a classic case where correlation, however strong, does not mean causation.
你可能会感到惊讶,我们想在此阐述一种严肃的观点:即使有些事件之间存在很多关联,但并不意味着他们就是因果关系。
Messerli gave us another example. In post-war Germany, the human birth rate fell along with the stork population. Were fewer storks bringing fewer babies?
Messerli给我们举了另外一个例子,在战后德国,人口出生率与鹳的数量均下降,那是否鹳的减少导致婴儿减少呢?
The answer was that more homes were being built, destroying the storks' habitat. And the homes were small - not the sort of places you could raise a large family in.
真正的原因是房屋越建越多,导致鹳的栖息地被破坏,房屋面积的减小,使得多成员家庭减少。
