Anthropologists also use the term “culture” in a more restricted sense when they refer to the “culture” of a particular society, meaning the nonbiological characteristics unique to that soc

Whereas cultural anthropologists will often base their conclusions on the experience of living within contemporary communities ,archaeologists study past societies primarily through their m
40、aterial remains-the buildings, the tools, and other artifacts that constitute what is known as the material cultural left over from former societies。 文化人类学家通常把他们的结论建立在当代社区的生活体验上,而考古学家则主要通过残存的物质研究过去的社会房屋,工具和其他人工制品,它们构成了我们所知的过去社会遗留的物质文明。35. Archaeologists in recent decades have developed “ethnoarchaeo
41、logy” ,where, like ethnographers, they live among contemporary communities, but with the specific purpose of learning how such societies use material culture-hoe they make their tools and weapons , why they build their settlements where they do ,and so on。 最近几十年,考古学家发展了“种族文化考古学,他们像民族志研究者一样住在当代社区里,但他
42、们有一个明确的目的,那就是了解这些社会如何使用物质文明他们如何制造工具和武器,为什么在现在的地点建造村落等等.36。 To archaeology, which studies all cultures and periods whether with or without writing, the distinction between history and prehistory is a convenient dividing line that recognizes the importance of the written word , but in no way lessens t
43、he importance of the useful information contained in oral histories。 对研究所有文明和时期的考古学家来说,无论有没有文字记录,历史和史前史的区别都是一条便利的分界线,它承认书面文字的重要性,但一点也不降低口述历史中包含的有用信息的重要性.37.

44、hypothesis, tests the hypothesis against more data, and then, in conclusion, devises a model that seems best to summarize the pattern observed in the data。 从这个方面讲,考古学家所做的工作很像科学家的工作,他们搜集资料、进行实验、提出假设、用更多的资料来检验假设,最后得出一个似乎最能从资料中观察到的模式的模型。38. What is new is that, from the 1950s onwards, there have been c
45、ertain general changes in outlook about the finitude of resources as a whole and of healthcare resources in particular, as well as more specific changes regarding the clientele of healthcare resources and the cost to the community of those resources。 新鲜之处在于,从20世纪50年代起,关于保健资源的享用者和这些资源的社会成本,人们的看法不仅发生了
46、一些具体的改变,同时,对总体资源的有限性、尤其是保健资源的有限性,人们的看法也发生了某些普遍的变化。39。 Looking back , it now seems quite incredible that in the national health systems that emerged in many countries in the years immediately after the 19391945 World War, it was assumed without question that all the basic health needs of any communit
47、y could be satisfied, at least in principle; the “invisible hand of economic progress would provide. 回顾过去,现在想想似乎更不可思议,在1935-1945年世界大战结束不久出现,在很多国家的国家保健系统里,人们毫不怀疑的认为,任何社会所有基本保健需要都能得到满足,至少从理论上来说是这样的,经济发展的“无形之手”会提供这个条件。40. At exactly the same time as this new realization of the finite character of healt
48、hcare resources was sinking in, an awareness of a contrary kind was developing in Western societies: that people have a basic right to health-care as a necessary condition of a proper human life。 几乎就在保健资源是有限的这个新认识刚刚被理解的同时,一种相反的观点也在西方社会逐渐形成:保健室人们的基本权利,是人类正常生活的一个必要条件.41。 The second set of more specific changes that have led to the present concern about the distribution of healthcare resources stems from the dramatic rise in health costs in most OECD countries, accompanied by largescale demographic and social changes which have meant, to t
