The first edition of Thomas Kuhn’s "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" appeared in 1962. 【T1】
His vision revolutionized the way we think about science, and it has given us a new way to look at change in " science" itself.
【T2】
Whereas previous visions of science saw science as an accumulation of all that had been learned over history, Kuhn envisioned science as having, at any one time, a worldview, or " paradigm (范式) " , of its environment.
Kuhn(库恩) postulated that most scientists engage in "normal science" that often results in solid, but relatively incremental gains, which nevertheless accumulate and collectively contribute to move research and subsequent scientific knowledge forward. When anomalies arise, some individual(s) step out of the paradigm, and propose a new principle or law. 【T3】
If the scientific community accepts the proposed change, then science experiences a " paradigm shift" , and new science proceeds from that new paradigm.
Paradigm shifts are important, and a necessary part of life. Things do change, and we have to adjust and adapt to that change. Perhaps not surprisingly, important paradigm shifts often come from the young. 【T4】
It usually takes a long time to effect a paradigm shift—often as much as 20-25 years—which, perhaps not so coincidently, is about the life of a generation
.
【T5】
A relatively recent white paper emanating from MIT justifiably argues that the intersections of arrays of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, as well as individuals with a host of many other professional talents, will be the next Kuhnian scientific revolution and in fact, the " Third" biomedical revolution.
This new revolution is broadly known as Convergence. [br] 【T4】

答案
引发范式转移通常需要很长时间——往往长达20~25年——而也许不算太巧的是,这大约相当于一代人。
解析
该句翻译需要考生颇费心思的地方或许是“perhaps not so coincidently”这个插入语,对它最简单的处理方法是按字面逐字翻译,建议大家试一试。
