　　Maybe the color of the Nobel Prize medal should be changed from gold to red, white and blue. U.S. researchers swept the science awards for the first time since 1983. But the joy came with a warning from many in the U.S. scientific community: the kind of basic research that won Nobels is no longer getting adequate funding. Without more funds, they argue, U.S. scientific dominance wont last, as other nations become more competitive in these cutting-edge fields.

　　也许诺贝尔奖奖牌的颜色应该从金色变成红白蓝三色。美国研究者自1983年以来首度包揽自然科学方面的奖项。但是，喜悦的到来也伴随着美国科学界许多人士的警告：为美国赢得诺贝尔奖的这些基础性研究经费已不再充裕。他们说，随着其它国家在这些前沿领域竞争力的日渐增强，如果没有更多的经费.美国的科学优势将无以为继。
