專八漢譯英熱身練習場--六
原文：
世界上第一代博物館屬于自然博物館，它是通過化石、標本等向人們介紹地球和各種生物的演化歷史。第二代屬于工業技術博物館，它所展示的是工業文明帶來的各種階段性結果。這兩代博物館雖然起到了傳播科學知識的作用，但是，它們把參觀者當成了被動的旁觀者。
世界上第三代博物館是充滿全新理念的博物館。在這里，觀眾可以自己去動手操作，自己細心體察。這樣，他們可以更貼近先進的科學技術，去探索科學技術的奧妙。
參考譯文：
The first generation of museums are what might be called natural museums which， by means of fossils， specimens and other objects， introduced to people the evolutionary history of the Earth and various kinds of organisms. The second generation are those of industrial technologies which presented the fruits achieved by industrial civilization at different stages of industrialization. Despite the fact that those two generations of museums helped to disseminate / propagate / spread scientific knowledge， they nevertheless treated visitors merely as passive viewers.
The third generation of museums in the world are those replete with / full of wholly novel concepts. In those museums， visitors are allowed to operate the exhibits with their own hands， to observe and to experience carefully. By getting closer to the advanced science and technologies in this way， people can probe into their secret mysteries.
