倾向大科学的预算为了支持军方和民间的研究开发,布什总统要求议会拿出712亿美元,增额约为45亿美元,相当于在原有的基础上增加7%。即使将估计为4.5%的通货膨胀率考虑进去,也可以说研究开发预算是增加了的。人们都一定以为此事是值得庆贺的,然而,科学界半数以上的人却对新预算持一种无所谓的冷淡态度,原因何在? 理由有二,首先是财源的相当部分落在军方的研究所;再就是民间部门的大部分增额被人类基因组计划、超导超大型加速器、宇宙空间站之类巨大项目所吞没。预算对小科学来说所剩无几。在这个预算方案中大科学得势了。
In favor of large scientific budgets In order to support military and civilian research and development, President Bush asked the parliament to put out 71.2 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of about 4.5 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to an increase of 7% on the basis of the original. Even taking into account the estimated inflation rate of 4.5%, it can be said that the research and development budget is increased. People must all think this is something to celebrate. However, more than half of the people in the scientific community are indifferent to the new budget. What are the reasons? There are two reasons for this. First and foremost, a considerable part of the financial resources fall into the military's research And then again most of the growth in the private sector is engulfed by gigantic projects such as the Human Genome Project, superconducting mega-accelerators and the space station. The budget is small for small sciences. In this budget program in science has gained.
