    Billionaire Chen Tianqiao, who recently donated $115 million to the
California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in the U.S., has incited a heated
debate among Chinese scientists.
    亿万富翁陈天桥最近给美国加州理工大学捐赠了1.15亿美元，在中国科学家之间引发了激烈的争论。
    The donation was "a mix of surprise and regret," said Qiu Zilong, a
research fellow at the Institute of Neuroscience in Shanghai, after it was
announced on Dec. 7. Around the same time, a remark made by Rao Yi, the
president of life sciences at Peking University, went viral.
    在12月7日这一消息被宣布之后，上海神经科学研究所研究员邱子龙(音)表示说，这一笔捐款“既令人感到惊讶，又令人感到遗憾”。大约同一时间，北京大学生命科学学院院长饶毅(音)的一句话被人们广为传播。
    "Chen Tianqiao has made a mistake by funding Caltech instead of a Chinese
institute," he argued. Rao claimed that, compared with the mature and advanced
research in the U.S., China’s research on biology and neuroscience is still on
the rise, and therefore needs more funds.
    饶毅说道：“陈天桥资助加州理工而不是一所中国机构的做法是一个错误”。饶毅声称，和美国成熟、先进的研究相比，中国在生物学和神经科学方面的研究仍然处于上升极端，因此需要更多的资金。
    Qiu said the donation was a private matter and should not be publicly
scrutinized, but he hopes it will serve as an incentive to build a more complete
and transparent funding system in China.
    邱子龙指出这一笔捐款只是个人行为，不应受到公众批判，但是他希望此事件能够刺激在中国建立一个更完善、更透明的资助制度。
    The U.S. does have a mature donation system, which helps to explain why
Chen chose an American institute, most scientists say. Those in China’s
scientific community also suggested that Chinese entrepreneurs take an active
role in funding scientific research projects.
    大多数科学家都指出，美国的确有一个成熟的捐赠制度，这有助于解释为何陈天桥选择了一所美国机构。中国科学界人士还建议中国企业家在资助科学研究项目上起到积极的作用。
