错误状态

Gould, a palaeontologist, observed that there are long periods of stasis in the fossil record, which is true, and inferred from this that selfish genery is therefore wrong because it predicts continual change, which is questionable.

古尔德是一位古生物学家，他观察到化石记录中有一些相当长的时段，显示进化在这些时间段中处于停滞状态。这的一现象的确存在，若据此来推断，自私基因理论就是错误的了——因为自私基因理论所描绘出的是持续的变化。

My sense is that "tax" conjures up images big, ravenous governments sucking the little guy dry;"offset" connotes restoring things to their natural balance; and "fee," like "fine," sounds somehow punitive or compensatory, a punishment for wrongdoing or a bill for services rendered.

我认为&税&这个词会使问题扩大化。就好像政府在贪婪地压榨干弱小的群众。&补偿&这个词就会相对含蓄，它意味着把事物恢复到一种自然平衡的状态。至于&费&这个字，就像&罚款&一样，是一种对错误行为或者对未完成义务的补偿。它听上去更具有惩罚的含义。
