1 It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent威慑力量制止物 as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists however the attractions of academia学术界 outweigh any financial considerations.
这几乎是一条单行道。虽然大学里搞研究的人“下海”到商界碰碰运气很常见，但反过来这样做的人很少。在大学里工资待遇低一直是最大的阻碍，因为拖家带口的人如果到大学里去工作承受不起薪金上的下降。然而，对于一些产业科学家来说，学术上的吸引力超过任何财务方面的考虑（他们回炉重新上大学，看中的不是薪金，而是提升自己）。

2 Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia学术界 at mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return and Lee’s is one of them.
当海伦·李从雅培实验室里的一个高级职位调到剑桥大学的一个医学系时，她的薪水减少了70%（只能拿原来的30%）。她在职业生涯中途重返学术界的主要原因是想利用大学里更大的自由来研究自己想要研究的东西。有些领域的研究几乎没有商业回报的前景，李的研究就是其中的一个。

4 Higher up the ladder where a pay cut is usually more significant the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition to academia more attractive according to Lee.
李说：人才层次越高，薪水暂时削减的意义就越重大（产业科学家为了进一步充实自己，回大学搞学术研究，短时间内少拿一点钱很有必要）。社会需要拥有丰富经验的产业科学家，这就迫使想转型搞学术（培训）的大学，必须让自己的这种转型变得更有吸引力（大学在对产业科学家进行学术提升培训的同时，还要考虑丰富他们的实践经验）。

Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not such as how to build a multidisciplinary team manage budgets and negotiate contracts.
（现在的）产业科学家有可能会接受（以前）学术界所没有的培训，比如学习如何组建一个多学科团队、管理预算和谈判合同。

They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate says Lee perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development.
李说：产业科学家可以被大学巧妙地用来为大学纯学术教学添加一些额外的东西（教在校学生制造实践或产品开发的经验），这将有助于学生大学毕业生找到工作。

“Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
“只有少数在读大学生会继续学术生涯。因此，一个已经具备在工业实验室工作所需技能的人，离开大学，在就业市场上的潜力远远大于那些把所有时间都花在一个狭窄的研究项目上的人。”
