During material selection for a product design, deci-sions are based ona variety of factors such as cost,properties, performance, environmental aspects, etc.在选择产品设计生产原材料的时候，往往有许多因素需要考虑，例如成本，利润，性能，对环境是否友好等等LCA allows environmental requirements to be incorpo-rated intoproduct design. LCA比较看中对环境方面的要求。From the designerÕs point ofview, 从设计者的角度看，obtaining a single indicator that evaluates the environmental behaviour of materials in such a way that it can be incorporated directly into a multicriteria deci-sion problem, along with the other design consider-ations, could be an ideal situation.有一项对原材料的环境污染等方面的检测方法在考虑问题或者做决定上有很大的说服力，同时还考虑其他方面的因素，就能得到一个比较完善的理想策划。 In this paper, the authors have used a very simple example to show the need to perform a sensitivity anal-ysis among different LCIA methods before making adecision on the material selection for eco-design. 在文件中，作者已经举了一个简单的例子去说明对于 LCIA方法的理解程度分析的需要。The reduction to a single score can hide important informa-tion 对某个因素的单方面评价可能会让人忽略一些重要信息and offer a low degree of transparency when communicating results.当交流讨论一个策划的结果时，还会降低某些提案的透明度。Solving the problem ofselectingmaterials by using a single environmental score,如果只考虑环境方面的影响，然后选择原材料的话 intro-duced with theaim of summarising environmental infor-mation,就是只介绍材料环境方面的影响 requires so many assumptionsthat they shouldbe used with extreme caution.那么我们只能猜想可能生产的人对环境方面是相当关心。 累死了，凑合着看，好多单词连在一起，看起来好累
