　　4. It seems simple enough to distinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and to separate forces acting on an organism into those that are internal and biological and those that are external and environmental.

　　5. But in actual practice this system breaks down in many ways, because the organism and the environment are constantly interacting so that the environment is modified by the orgainism and vice versa (反之亦然).

　　6. In the case of man, the difficulties with the environment concept are even more complicated because we have to deal with man as an animal and with man as a bearer(持有者) of culture.

　　7. If we look at man as an animal and try to analyze the environmental forces that are acting on the organism, we find that we have to deal with things like climate, soil, plants, and such like factors common to all biological situations; but we also find, always, very important environmental influences that we can only class as “cultural”, which modify the physical and biological factors.

　　8. We thus easily get into great difficulties from the necessity of viewing culture, at one moment, as a part of the man and, at another moment, as a part of the environment.

　　1、問題是很難明確輻射的傷害—一個(gè)人可能感覺良好，但他(她)的性器官細(xì)胞可能受到損傷，而且有些直到生下畸形兒甚至是畸形孫兒才會(huì)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。

　　3、口味是個(gè)非常主觀的問題，所以對于食物我們一般不進(jìn)行偏好測試。

　　4、區(qū)分周圍的環(huán)境或者有機(jī)物體，以及分辨作用于有機(jī)物的影響力是生物內(nèi)部的還是來自于外部環(huán)境的，看起來非常簡單。

　　5、但是在實(shí)際中這套系統(tǒng)在很多方面失敗了，因?yàn)橛袡C(jī)物和環(huán)境在不斷相互作用，所以環(huán)境在不斷被有機(jī)物修改，反過來也是一樣。

　　6、對于人類來說，環(huán)境概念的問題更加復(fù)雜。因?yàn)槲覀儾坏貌话讶祟惍?dāng)為動(dòng)物，又不得不把人當(dāng)為文化的持有者來對待。

　　7、如果我們將人類看作動(dòng)物來嘗試解釋作用在有機(jī)物上的環(huán)境影響力的話，我們不得不處理像氣候，土壤，植物和一些對于所有生物環(huán)境來說共同的因素，但我們也發(fā)現(xiàn)，“文化”的影響也非常重大，它可以改變物理和生物因素。

　　8、所以我們很容易在對待文化的問題上陷入困境，有時(shí)候，我們將其看作人類的一部分，有時(shí)候，又作為環(huán)境的一部分。
