人类交流的研究正在以越来越快的速度加速发展。我们正在迈入二十一世纪，我们知道今天的快速进步将使世界更接近于预防、控制甚至消除人类沟通的一些障碍。美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 的国家耳聋和其他沟通障碍研究所 (NIDCD) 开展并支持听力、平衡、嗅觉、味觉、声音、言语和语言的正常和紊乱过程的研究和研究培训，很自豪能够为生物医学和行为研究的进步做出贡献，这将改善数百万患有沟通障碍的人的生活。来自世界各地的人们对生物医学研究表现出新的兴趣、热情和支持。这种兴奋很大程度上可以归因于分子遗传学。如果不阅读基于基因研究的新科学发现，拿起报纸几乎是不可能的。许多重大疾病的新基因正在被发现。基因疗法正在开始治疗癌症。我们所吃的食物的质量有望在生物技术的帮助下得到改善。即使是当代最受欢迎的电影之一《侏罗纪公园》，它的成功很大程度上也要归功于基因研究提供的科学阴谋。这种兴奋和支持为科学界注入了活力，并为当今取得的许多科学进步做出了贡献。 NIDCD 与世界分享了对分子生物学和遗传学科学的乐观态度。
Research in human communication is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate. We are approaching the twenty-first century with the knowledge that today's rapid advances will bring the world closer to preventing, controlling, and even eliminating some of the disorders of human communication. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which conducts and supports research and research training in the normal and disordered processes of hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, and language, is proud to contribute to the advances in biomedical and behavioral research that will improve the lives of millions of individuals with communication disorders. Individuals from around the world are demonstrating new-found interest, enthusiasm, and support for biomedical research. Much of this excitement can be attributed to molecular genetics. It is almost impossible to pick up a newspaper without reading about a new scientific discovery based on genetic research. New genes are being identified for many major diseases. Gene therapy is being initiated to treat cancer. The quality of the food we eat promises to improve with the aid of biotechnology. Even Jurassic Park, one of the most popular movies of aU time, owes much of its success to the scientific intrigue offered by genetic research. The excitement and support have energized the scientificcommunity and have contributed to many of the scientific advances being made today. The NIDCD shares the world's optimism for the science of molecular biology and genetics by con-
