44、e to make new(discoveries)if it seemed that others had made those discoveries (already), or might have other negative consequences.有人擔(dān)心來自更高級社會（文明）的信號會使我們喪失對自己的信念，會使我們喪失探尋新發(fā)現(xiàn)的主動性，因為如果這些發(fā)現(xiàn)看起來早就被別人做過了，或者（這些發(fā)現(xiàn)）又會有什么不利結(jié)果。This is rather (like) a student dropping out of school (because)his teachers and tex
