2002年考研翻译的文本是：
"Almost all our major problems involve human behavior, and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior, but we have been slow to develop the science from which such a technology might be drawn. One difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on."
翻译为中文是：
"几乎我们所有主要问题都涉及到人类行为，而这些问题仅靠物理和生物技术手段是无法解决的。我们所需的是一种行为技术，但是，我们在发展一门可以提炼这种技术的科学方面，却一直进展很缓慢。难题之一在于所谓的行为科学几乎全部都依旧从心态、情感、性格特征、人性等等方面去找行为的根源。"
