Scientists: Admit You Have Values（4）
Opinion polls suggest that most Americans want many of these things, too; gt;73 percent of us believe that science has a mostly positive impact on society. If scientists decline to discuss their values for fear that they conflict with the values of their audiences, they may miss the opportunity to discover significant points of overlap and agreement. If, on the other hand, scientists insist on their value neutrality, they will likely come across as inauthentic, if not dishonest. A person who truly had no values—or refused to allow values to influence their decision-making—would be a sociopath!
民意调查显示，大多数美国人有着许多同样的心愿；我们当中73%的人认为科学对社会的影响大体是积极的。若科学家因害怕与听众的价值观发生冲突而拒绝讨论他们的价值观，他们可能会错过发现重要共识的机会。另一方面，若科学家坚持他们的价值中立，他们很可能给人不可靠的印象，若非不诚实的话。一个真正没有价值观、或者拒绝让价值观影响他们决策的人，将是一个反社会者！
Value neutrality is a tinfoil shield. Rather than trying to hide behind it, scientists should admit that they have values and be proud that these values motivate research aiming to make the world a better place for all.
价值中立是一块锡纸盾牌。科学家们不应试图躲在背后，而应承认他们拥有价值观，并为这些价值观促进让世界更美好的研究而感到自豪。
