摘要：今天要跟大家分享的雅思閱讀素材題目是沒有過去的人3，正文都做了貼心的注解，并挑出了經(jīng)典句式跟觀點(diǎn)，我們?cè)谘潘紝懽髦锌梢詫W(xué)習(xí)借鑒。一起來看看吧！

作為雅思考生，我們讀外刊要有一定的目的性，不僅僅是為了擴(kuò)大我們的閱讀面，還要有意識(shí)地針對(duì)雅思考試，提高自己的水平。希望大家不幫是看源文內(nèi)容，更要對(duì)文中注釋加以學(xué)習(xí)消化，希望對(duì)大家有幫助！

What to do? This isn’t just a question of being better at preserving old data –although this wouldn’t be a bad idea, given just how little is currently able to last decades rather than years. More importantly, it’s about determining what is worth preserving in the first place – and what it means meaningfully to cull information in the name of knowledge.

怎么辦?這個(gè)問題已經(jīng)不僅僅在于怎樣更好保存舊數(shù)據(jù)的范疇——盡管這并不是個(gè)壞主意，鑒于現(xiàn)在很少有東西能流行保留10年之久。更重要的是，這個(gè)問題首先關(guān)系到確定哪些東西值得優(yōu)先保存，以及怎樣以知識(shí)的名義選擇有意義的信息。

What’s needed is something that I like to think of as “intelligent forgetting”: teaching our tools to become better at letting go of the immediate past in order to keep its larger continuities in view. It’s an act of curation akin to organising a photograph album– albeit with more maths. When are two million photographs less valuable than two thousand? When the larger sample covers less ground;when the questions that can be asked of it are less important; when the level of detail on offer instils not useful scepticism,but false confidence.

或許我們需要的是我所稱之為的“智能性遺忘”：應(yīng)該讓我們的工具更多地放棄最近的信息，從而在長遠(yuǎn)視角上保持更高水平的連續(xù)性。這有點(diǎn)像整理一本影集—盡管需要用到更多的數(shù)學(xué)方法。什么時(shí)候兩百萬張照片的價(jià)值比兩千張照片更低?當(dāng)樣本量大而覆蓋范圍反而小的時(shí)候;當(dāng)我們問的問題的重要性低的時(shí)候;當(dāng)其提供的細(xì)節(jié)水平灌輸?shù)牟皇怯杏玫馁|(zhì)疑，而是虛假信心的時(shí)候。

Many data sets are irreducible and most precious when complete: gene sequences; demographic data; the raw,hard knowledge of geography and physics. The softer the science, however, the more that scale is likely inversely to correlate with quality –and the more important time itself becomes as a filter. Either we choose carefully what endures, matters and meaningfully captures our receding past –or its imprint is silently supplanted by the present’s growing noise.

許多數(shù)據(jù)集是無法縮減的，越挽拯救就越寶貴：基因序列、人口統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)數(shù)據(jù)、地理和物理學(xué)的原始觀測(cè)數(shù)據(jù)等等。數(shù)據(jù)的科學(xué)性越弱，數(shù)據(jù)規(guī)模與數(shù)據(jù)的質(zhì)量就越可能呈現(xiàn)負(fù)相關(guān)，此時(shí)時(shí)間本身就成為更加重要的過濾工具。我們?nèi)绻蛔屑?xì)選擇過去保存下來的有價(jià)值、有意義的事物，它們就會(huì)被當(dāng)下日漸膨脹的信息洪流悄無聲息地取代。
