    III. Translate the following passage into Chinese:
    Patently unfair
    American corporations and patent lawyers have raised strongobjections to a Patent Office proposal for sharing data with itscounterparts in Japan and the European Economic Community.In Japan and to a lesser extent in the EEC, industry has easy,instant andcomprehensive computerized access to patent data held by the governments. Bycontrast, to get the same information, U.S. companies are required to apply by mail, a far morecumbersome and time-consuming process. Critics want the Patent Office to modernize the way itdistributes information in the U.S. before it computerizes data for distribution overseas. Otherwisethe system would give Japanese and European competitors unfair advantage over Americancorporations.
    參考答案:
    顯然不公平(或:專利署不公平)
    美國專利署提議與日本和歐洲共同體的對應(yīng)單位分享資料,遭到美國公司及專利律師的強烈反對。在日本,企業(yè)界具有方便、快速而又周密的電腦系統(tǒng),以取得政府掌 握的專利資料,歐共體雖稍遜,但相去不遠。相形之下,美國公司要取得資料,須寫信申請,過程要麻煩費時得多。批評者要求專利署,在以電腦分送資料到國外 前,先把美國本土得資料信息輸送方式現(xiàn)代化。否則該系統(tǒng)將使日本和歐洲的競爭對手處于更有利的地位,對美國企業(yè)界并不公平。
