德赛网准备文傻地进行科普, 要把美国的健康骗术监察网搬到中国来,我把该网的目标概述翻译了一下,欢迎大家挑刺,挑完了修改完我就递交到”健康监察”博客去.
(谢谢bright，第一遍修改稿，另外，除了翻译错误，还可以挑中文用词的准确和通顺。12。20）
(谢谢棒棒儿和andywho，第二遍修改稿，quack，英语中指庸医和江湖郎中，用其谐音“夸客”可以很好地体现其本质，故quackwatch翻译为“夸客观察。是谁提的这个建议我忘了，先谢谢再说。 12.22）

Quackwatch, Inc., which was a member of Consumer Federation of America from 1973 through 2003, is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to combat health-related frauds, myths, fads, fallacies, and misconduct. Its primary focus is on quackery-related information that is difficult or impossible to get elsewhere. Founded by Dr. Stephen Barrett in 1969 as the Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud, it was incorporated in 1970. In 1997, it assumed its current name and began developing a worldwide network of volunteers and expert advisors. Our activities include:

Sources of Income 收入来源

The total cost of operating all of Quackwatch’s sites is approximately $7,000 per year. Quackwatch, Inc., has no salaried employees. It operates with minimal expense, funded mainly by small individual donations, commissions from sales on other sites to which we refer, and profits from the sale of publications. If its income falls below what is needed for the research, the rest comes out of Dr. Barrett’s pocket. Except for the sales commissions, neither Quackwatch nor Dr. Barrett have any financial tie to any commercial or industrial organization.
夸客观察网的年总费用大约7000美元。夸客观察网没有受薪的雇员。本网站以尽可能节俭的方式运作，运作资金主要来自于个人小额度捐款，我们推荐其它网站获得的销售佣金，和从出版物销售获得的收益。如果这些收益低于网站进行探究所需，不足的部分由Barrett博士自掏腰包。除开推荐网站的销售佣金，夸客观察网或Barrett博士与其他任何商业或企业机构没有经济上的瓜葛。
