聽力原文如下
<code>1.We live in difficult and challenging economic times, of course.
現在我們處在 經濟危機困難重重的時刻。
2.And one of the first victims of difficult economic times, I think, is public spending of any kind, but certainly in the firing line at the moment
這種情況下， 首當其衝的受害者， 我認為是各種各種的公共開支， 但更加命懸一線的
3.is public spending for science, and particularly curiosity-led science and exploration.
是科學方面的公共開支， 特別是以好奇心為導向的科學 與探索。
4.So I want to try and convince you in about 15 minutes that that's a ridiculous and ludicrous thing to do.
因此我想用15分鐘來說服你， （削減科學開支）是 相當愚蠢的。
5.But I think to set the scene, I want to show -- the next slide is not my attempt to show the worst TED slide in the history of TED,
為了敘述一下背景 我要給你們展示——我並不是要 讓你們看到TED有史以來最糟糕的幻燈片，
6.but it is a bit of a mess.
但這是有點亂。
7.(Laughter) But actually, it's not my fault; it's from the Guardian newspaper.
（笑聲） 但這並不是我的錯，這是從《衛報》那弄來的。
8.And it's actually a beautiful demonstration of how much science costs.
這很清楚的展示了， 科學的花費。
9.Because, if I'm going to make the case for continuing to spend on curiosity-driven science and exploration, I should tell you how much it costs.
因為我要說服 繼續給以好奇為導向的科學與探索提供資金， 所以我得告訴你它的花費情況。
10.So this is a game called "spot the science budgets."
這是個遊戲，叫做”找出科學預算來“。
11.This is the U.K. government spend.
這是英國政府開支圖。
12.You see there, it's about 620 billion a year.
你看，一年一共是6千2百億英鎊。
13.The science budget is actually -- if you look to your left, there's a purple set of blobs and then yellow set of blobs.
科學預算在- 看左邊，有個紫色的圈圈 還有黃色的圈圈。
14.And it's one of the yellow set of blobs around the big yellow blob.
科學預算就是那個大黃圈圈 旁邊的一個小圈圈。
15.It's about 3.3 billion pounds per year out of 620 billion.
是6千2百億英鎊中的 33億英鎊。
16.That funds everything in the U.K.
在英國，
17.from medical research, space exploration, where I work, at CERN in Geneva, particle physics, engineering, even arts and humanities,
從醫療研究，空間探索， 我工作的地方，日內瓦的CERN，粒子物理學， 到工程，甚至是藝術和人文，
18.funded from the science budget, which is that 3.3 billion, that little, tiny yellow blob around the orange blob at the top left of the screen.
給這一切提供資金的， 就是那33億英鎊，那個小得不能再小的黃圈圈， 在屏幕左上角的橙色圈圈旁邊。
19.So that's what we're arguing about.
這就是我們爭論的對象。
20.That percentage, by the way, is about the same in the U.S. and Germany and France.
順便一提，這個比率， 同美國，德國和法國是一樣的。
21.R&D in total in the economy, publicly funded, is about 0.6 percent of GDP.
全部科研在經濟當中， 公共撥款的， 佔GDP的百分之0.6.
22.So that's what we're arguing about.
這就是我們所說的。
23.The first thing I want to say, and this is straight from "Wonders of the Solar System,"
首先我要說的是， 這是來自於“太陽系的奇觀”，
24.is that our exploration of the solar system and the universe has shown us that it is indescribably beautiful.
我們對太陽系和宇宙的探索 展現給了我們無與倫比的美麗。
25.This is a picture that actually was sent back by the Cassini space probe around Saturn, after we'd finished filming "Wonders of the Solar System."
這張照片是 在我們拍完“太陽系的奇觀”之後， 卡西尼號太空探測器在土星附近發回來的。
26.So it isn't in the series.
因此它沒有在那個系列裡面。
27.It's of the moon Enceladus.
這是恩克拉多斯衛星。
28.So that big sweeping, white sphere in the corner is Saturn, which is actually in the background of the picture.
角落裡那個巨大的白色的範圍 就是土星， 是這張圖片的背景。
29.And that crescent there is the moon Enceladus, which is about as big as the British Isles.
那裡的新月形就是恩克拉多斯衛星， 差不多和不列顛諸島一樣大。
30.It's about 500 kilometers in diameter.
直徑有500千米。
31.So, tiny moon.
一個很小的衛星。
32.What's fascinating and beautiful ...
多麼美麗，多麼令人著迷——
33.this an unprocessed picture, by the way, I should say, it's black and white, straight from Saturnian orbit.
順便我要說下，這是張未經過處理的圖片。 是黑白的，從土星軌道發過來的。
34.What's beautiful is, you can probably see on the limb there some faint, sort of, wisps of almost smoke rising up from the limb.
很美麗的地方是，又可以在這裡看到 一些微弱的 像煙霧一樣的鬼火 冉冉升起。
35.This is how we visualize that in "Wonders of the Solar System."
我們在“太陽系奇觀”中就是這樣用視覺展現的。
36.It's a beautiful graphic.
多麼漂亮的圖片。
37.What we found out were that those faint wisps are actually fountains of ice rising up from the surface of this tiny moon.
我們發現了那些微弱的鬼火 其實在這個小衛星的表面上突起 的冰泉
38.That's fascinating and beautiful in itself, but we think that the mechanism for powering those fountains requires there to be lakes of liquid water
它本身就很美麗和令人著迷， 但我們認為使那些冰泉運動的 背後的機械 要求在這個衛星的地面之下，
39.beneath the surface of this moon.
有液態水組成的湖泊。
40.And what's important about that is that, on our planet, on Earth, wherever we find liquid water, we find life.
這很重要，因為， 在我們的星球，地球上， 能夠找到液態水的地方， 我們能找到生命。
41.So, to find strong evidence of liquid, pools of liquid, beneath the surface of a moon 750 million miles away from the Earth is really quite astounding.
因此，能找到足夠的證據 證明離地球7億5千萬英里遠的衛星 的地表之下有著液態水的存在 是相當驚人的。
42.So what we're saying, essentially, is maybe that's a habitat for life in the solar system.
我們基本上是說 也許這是太陽系裡的又一個生命的搖籃。
43.Well, let me just say, that was a graphic. I just want to show this picture.
這是張圖片，我只是想要展示這張照片。
44.That's one more picture of Enceladus.
又是一張恩克拉多斯衛星的照片。
45.This is when Cassini flew beneath Enceladus.
這是卡西尼號飛到它下面時拍的。
46.So it made a very low pass, just a few hundred kilometers above the surface.
因此靠得很近， 離衛星表面只有幾百千米。
47.And so this, again, a real picture of the ice fountains rising up into space, absolutely beautiful.
這也是一張冰泉的真實照片， 無比美麗。
48.But that's not the prime candidate for life in the solar system.
但這不是太陽系最有可能有生命存在的星球。
49.That's probably this place, which is a moon of Jupiter, Europa.
最有可能的是這個地方， 木星的一個衛星，歐羅巴。
50.And again, we had to fly to the Jovian system to get any sense that this moon, as most moons, was anything other than a dead ball of rock.
同樣，我們得飛到木星系統 才能瞭解這個衛星，同大多數衛星一樣， 只不過是個沒有生氣的岩石球。
51.It's actually an ice moon.
它事實上是個冰球。
52.So what you're looking at is the surface of the moon Europa, which is a thick sheet of ice, probably a hundred kilometers thick.
看看歐羅巴衛星的地表， 是一層很厚的冰面，大概有一百千米深。
53.But by measuring the way that Europa interacts with the magnetic field of Jupiter, and looking at how those cracks in the ice that you can see there on that graphic move around,
通過檢測 歐羅巴衛星是怎樣 同木星的磁場相互作用的， 和研究你在這種圖片上可以看見的 冰面上的裂縫
54.we've inferred very strongly that there's an ocean of liquid surrounding the entire surface of Europa.
我們很肯定的推測 歐羅巴的整個地表下， 有著像海洋一樣的液體環繞著。
55.So below the ice, there's an ocean of liquid around the whole moon.
冰面之下，有著大量的液體。
56.It could be hundreds of kilometers deep, we think.
我們認為，可能有幾百千米深。
57.We think it's saltwater, and that would mean that there's more water on that moon of Jupiter than there is in all the oceans of the Earth combined.
我們認為是鹹水，就意味著 木星這顆衛星上的水， 比地球上所有海洋裡的水還要多。
58.So that place, a little moon around Jupiter, is probably the prime candidate for finding life on a moon or a body outside the Earth, that we know of.
因此，木星周圍的一個小衛星 可能是我們所知的 地球之外的 最有可能找到生命存在的星球。
59.Tremendous and beautiful discovery.
了不起的發現。
60.Our exploration of the solar system has taught us that the solar system is beautiful.
對太陽系的探索 讓我們發現了太陽系的美麗。
61.It may also have pointed the way to answering one of the most profound questions that you can possibly ask, which is: "Are we alone in the universe?"
也為回答人們會問的最深遠的問題之一 指明瞭道路。 這個問題就是，“宇宙裡，我們是孤獨的嗎？”
62.Is there any other use to exploration and science, other than just a sense of wonder?
除了讓人們稱奇之外，探索和科學 還有其他的作用嗎？
63.Well, there is.
有的。
64.This is a very famous picture taken, actually, on my first Christmas Eve, December 24th, 1968, when I was about eight months old.
這是一張非常著名的照片， 在我的第一個聖誕夜是拍攝的， 1968年的12月24日。 那時我大約只有八個月大。
65.It was taken by Apollo 8 as it went around the back of the moon.
是由阿波羅八號 繞到月亮背面時拍攝的。
66.Earthrise from Apollo 8.
阿波羅八號上看到的地球升起來。
67.A famous picture; many people have said that it's the picture that saved 1968, which was a turbulent year -- the student riots in Paris,
很著名的照片，很多人說過， 正是這張照片拯救了1968年， 那時動盪不安的一年—— 巴黎的學生暴亂，
68.the height of the Vietnam War.
越南戰爭的巔峰。
69.The reason many people think that about this picture, and Al Gore has said it many times, actually, on the stage at TED, is that this picture, arguably, was
很多人這樣評價這張照片， 戈爾在TED的講臺上多次說起 是因為這張照片，可以說是
70.the beginning of the environmental movement.
環保運動的開端。
71.Because, for the first time, we saw our world, not as a solid, immovable, kind of indestructible place, but as a very small, fragile-looking world
因為，那是我們 第一次看見地球， 不是一個牢固的，固定的 不可摧毀的地方， 而是一個很小，看上去很脆弱的星球，
72.just hanging against the blackness of space.
懸掛在一片漆黑的宇宙空間之中。
73.What's also not often said about the space exploration, about the Apollo program, is the economic contribution it made.
關於太空探索和阿波羅計劃， 很少提起的是 它給經濟作出的貢獻。
74.I mean while you can make arguments that it was wonderful and a tremendous achievement and delivered pictures like this, it cost a lot, didn't it?
我是說，你可以論述它是多麼美好 多麼了不起的成就， 拍了這樣的照片， 但它耗資巨大，不是嗎？
75.Well, actually, many studies have been done about the economic effectiveness, the economic impact of Apollo.
事實上，有人做過了許多 經濟效益的研究， 阿波羅計劃的經濟影響。
76.The biggest one was in 1975 by Chase Econometrics.
最大的一次是在1975年由大通計量經濟學進行的。
77.And it showed that for every $1 spent on Apollo, 14 came back into the U.S. economy.
結果顯示，花在阿波羅計劃上的每一美元， 給美國經濟帶回了14美元。
78.So the Apollo program paid for itself in inspiration, in engineering, achievement and, I think, in inspiring young scientists and engineers
因此阿波羅計劃 在激勵方面， 在工程學成就方面 在鼓舞年輕的科學家和工程師方面，
79.14 times over.
收益比投資高出14倍。
80.So exploration can pay for itself.
所以說，探索項目可以養活自己。
81.What about scientific discovery?
科學性探索如何呢？
82.What about driving innovation?
鼓勵創新呢？
83.Well, this looks like a picture of virtually nothing.
這張照片看上去什麼也沒有。
84.What it is, is a picture of the spectrum of hydrogen.
它是一張氫氣的 光譜圖。
85.See, back in the 1880s, 1890s, many scientists, many observers, looked at the light given off from atoms.
在19世紀80年代，90年代時， 許多科學家和觀察員 檢查原子釋放出來的光，
86.And they saw strange pictures like this.
他們就看見了像這張一樣的奇怪圖片。
87.What you're seeing when you put it through a prism is that you heat hydrogen up and it doesn't just glow like a white light, it just emits light at particular colors,
把它透過稜鏡時你看見的是， 你加熱氫氣，它並不會發出 白色的光， 它只發出特別的顏色的光，
88.a red one, a light blue one, some dark blue ones.
一道紅的，一道淺藍的，一些深藍色的。
89.Now that led to an understanding of atomic structure because the way that's explained is atoms are a single nucleus with electrons going around them.
這就使得人們瞭解原子的結構 因為按照這樣解釋 原子是周圍帶有電子的 單一核心。
90.And the electrons can only be in particular places.
電子只在特定的位置。
91.And when they jump up to the next place they can be, and fall back down again, they emit light at particular colors.
他們跳到別的地方， 就會回到原地， 他們發出特定顏色的光。
92.And so the fact that atoms, when you heat them up, only emit light at very specific colors, was one of the key drivers that led to the development of the quantum theory,
當你加熱原子時， 只會發出特定顏色的光， 原子的這一特性，成為 導向量子理論，原子結構理論發展的
93.the theory of the structure of atoms.
一個關鍵因素。
94.I just wanted to show this picture because this is remarkable.
我想要展示這張了不起的圖片。
95.This is actually a picture of the spectrum of the Sun.
這是太陽的光譜圖。
96.And now, this is a picture of atoms in the Sun's atmosphere absorbing light.
這張照片顯示的是，太陽大氣層的原子 吸收光。
97.And again, they only absorb light at particular colors when electrons jump up and fall down, jump up and fall down.
他們只吸收特定顏色的光 而電子跳起來又落回去， 跳起來又落回去。
98.But look at the number of black lines in that spectrum.
但看看光譜圖裡黑線的數量。
99.And the element helium was discovered just by staring at the light from the Sun because some of those black lines were found that corresponded to no known element.
氦元素 是在研究太陽光時發現的。 因為一些那樣的黑線， 與未知元素相對應。
100.And that's why helium's called helium.
這就是為什麼氦元素叫做氦元素。
101.It's called "helios" -- helios from the Sun.
它被叫做“赫利俄斯”——來自太陽的赫利俄斯。
102.Now, that sounds esoteric, and indeed it was an esoteric pursuit, but the quantum theory quickly led to an understanding of the behaviors of electrons in materials
這聽起來很深奧， 它也確實是很深奧的學問， 但是量子理論很快引導人們 理解物質裡電子的行為，
103.like silicon, for example.
比如說硅原子。
104.The way that silicon behaves, the fact that you can build transistors, is a purely quantum phenomenon.
硅原子的行為， 以及你能用它製作晶體管， 是純粹的量子現象。
105.So without that curiosity-driven understanding of the structure of atoms, which led to this rather esoteric theory, quantum mechanics,
所以如果沒有 好奇心引導的對原子結構的瞭解—— 這使得人們有了更加深奧的理論，量子力學，
106.then we wouldn't have transistors, we wouldn't have silicon chips, we wouldn't have pretty much the basis of our modern economy.
我們就沒有晶體管，沒有硅芯片， 沒有我們現代經濟賴以生存 的根基。
107.There's one more, I think, wonderful twist to that tale.
這個故事有了個奇妙的轉折。
108.In "Wonders of the Solar System,"
在“太陽系的奇觀”中，
109.we kept emphasizing the laws of physics are universal.
我們一直強調物理學的定理是普遍存在的。
110.It's one of the most incredible things about the physics and the understanding of nature that you get on Earth, is you can transport it, not only to the planets,
物理學和你在地球上得到的對於自然界的認知 有很神奇的特性， 就是你可以把它應用到行星上，
111.but to the most distant stars and galaxies.
甚至是最遙遠的恆星和星系上。
112.And one of the astonishing predictions of quantum mechanics, just by looking at the structure of atoms -- the same theory that describes transistors --
對量子力學 最令人震驚的預測是 只要看看原子的結構—— 描述過晶體管的同樣理論——
113.is that there can be no stars in the universe that have reached the end of their life that are bigger than, quite specifically, 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.
宇宙中， 沒有一顆已死亡的恆星 的質量比太陽大，準確來說，大1.4倍。
114.That's a limit imposed on the mass of stars.
這是恆星質量的最大限度。
115.You can work it out on a piece of paper in a laboratory, get a telescope, swing it to the sky, and you find that there are no dead stars
你可以在實驗室裡拿張紙算出來， 或者用個望遠鏡，對著天空 你就會發現，沒有質量超過太陽1.4倍
116.bigger than 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.
的死亡恆星。
117.That's quite an incredible prediction.
這是個了不起的預測。
118.What happens when you have a star that's right on the edge of that mass?
如果有顆恆星達到了最大質量限度的邊緣呢？
119.Well, this is a picture of it.
這是它的照片。
120.This is the picture of a galaxy, a common "our garden" galaxy with, what, 100 billion stars like our Sun in it.
這是一個星系的照片，一個普通的星系。 其中有1千億 像太陽一樣的恆星。
121.It's just one of billions of galaxies in the universe.
它只是宇宙中數十億星系中的一個。
122.There are a billion stars in the galactic core, which is why it's shining out so brightly.
星系的核心裡有十億顆恆星， 因此它光芒耀眼。
123.This is about 50 million light years away, so one of our neighboring galaxies.
這是我們的一個隔壁星系， 離我們大概5千萬光年遠。
124.But that bright star there is actually one of the stars in the galaxy.
但那顆明亮的星星 其實是星系中的一員。
125.So that star is also 50 million light years away.
這顆星星 也離我們5千萬光年遠。
126.It's part of that galaxy, and it's shining as brightly as the center of the galaxy with a billion suns in it.
它是星系的一部分，而它的光芒 同有著十億顆太陽的星系中心 一樣明亮耀眼。
127.That's a Type Ia supernova explosion.
這就是Ia型超新星爆炸。
128.Now that's an incredible phenomena, because it's a star that sits there.
這是難以置信的現象， 因為這顆星星在那裡。
129.It's called a carbon-oxygen dwarf.
它被成為白矮星。
130.It sits there about, say, 1.3 times the mass of the Sun.
它的質量是太陽的1.3倍。
131.And it has a binary companion that goes around it, so a big star, a big ball of gas.
它有顆聯星，圍繞它運轉， 一顆大恆星，一顆大的氣體球。
132.And what it does is it sucks gas off its companion star, until it gets to this limit called the Chandrasekhar limit, and then it explodes.
於是，它從那顆聯星上 吸收氣體， 直到它達到錢德拉塞卡極限， 接著它就會爆炸。
133.And it explodes, and it shines as brightly as a billion suns for about two weeks, and releases, not only energy, but a huge amount of chemical elements into the universe.
爆炸時，它會發出同十億個太陽一樣強烈的光 光會維持兩個星期， 同時它不僅會釋放出能量， 而且會釋放大量的化學元素到宇宙空間。
134.In fact, that one is a carbon-oxygen dwarf.
事實上，這顆就是白矮星。
135.Now, there was no carbon and oxygen in the universe at the Big Bang.
大爆炸時， 宇宙裡沒有碳元素和氧元素。
136.And there was no carbon and oxygen in the universe throughout the first generation of stars.
第一代恆星期間，宇宙裡沒有 碳元素和氧元素。
137.It was made in stars like that, locked away and then returned to the universe in explosions like that in order to recondense into planets,
它們在那樣的恆星裡面， 封存起來，再通過那樣的爆炸， 返回到宇宙空間， 重新凝聚成行星，
138.stars, new solar systems and, indeed, people like us.
恆星，新的太陽系統 還有，像我們一樣的人類。
139.I think that's a remarkable demonstration of the power and beauty and universality of the laws of physics, because we understand that process,
我想，這是很好的展示了 物理學定理的力量，美，和普遍性， 因為我們理解這個過程，
140.because we understand the structure of atoms here on Earth.
因為我們知道 地球上原子的結構。
141.This is a beautiful quote that I found -- we're talking about serendipity there -- from Alexander Fleming: "When I woke up just after dawn
這是我找到的一段美麗的引文—— 出自於亞歷山大·弗萊明，我們講的是機緣巧合。 “1928年9月28日的黎明，
142.on September 28, 1928, I certainly didn't plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world's first antibiotic."
我剛醒來， 我自然沒有打算通過發現世界上第一個抗生素 來改革整個醫術界。”
143.Now, the explorers of the world of the atom did not intend to invent the transistor.
原子世界的探索者們 並沒有打算髮明晶體管。
144.And they certainly didn't intend to describe the mechanics of supernova explosions, which eventually told us where the building blocks of life
他們也沒有打算 描述超新星爆炸的機制， 這一機制最終告訴我們 構建生命的基石
145.were synthesized in the universe.
是在宇宙裡合成的。
146.So, I think science can be -- serendipity is important.
我認為科學可以—— 機遇偶然很重要。
147.It can be beautiful. It can reveal quite astonishing things.
科學很美麗，可以揭露一些令人吃驚的事物。
148.It can also, I think, finally reveal the most profound ideas to us about our place in the universe and really the value of our home planet.
我想，它也可以， 最終向我們 揭露 關於我們在宇宙中的位置， 還有我們的家園的真正價值這樣的終極問題。
149.This is a spectacular picture of our home planet.
這是一張地球的壯觀照片。
150.Now, it doesn't look like our home planet.
它看起來不像是地球。
151.It looks like Saturn because, of course, it is.
看上去像土星，因為
152.It was taken by the Cassini space probe.
它是由卡西尼號太空探測器拍攝的。
153.But it's a famous picture, not because of the beauty and majesty of Saturn's rings, but actually because of a tiny, faint blob just hanging underneath one of the rings.
但這是張很著名的照片，不是因為 土星環的美麗和壯觀， 而是因為懸掛在光環之下的 那一個小小的微弱的圓點。
154.And if I blow it up there, you see it.
如果我把那裡放大，你就會看見。
155.It looks like a moon, but in fact, it's a picture of Earth.
它看起來像個衛星， 但事實上，那是地球。
156.It was a picture of Earth captured in that frame of Saturn.
那是土星的框架下拍攝到的地球。
157.That's our planet from 750 million miles away.
那是7億5千萬英里遠之外看到的我們的地球。
158.I think the Earth has got a strange property that the farther away you get from it, the more beautiful it seems.
我認為地球有個奇怪的屬性， 你離它越遠， 它看上去越漂亮。
159.But that is not the most distant or most famous picture of our planet.
不過，這還不是最遠或者最著名的地球照片。
160.It was taken by this thing, which is called the Voyager spacecraft.
它是由這個東西拍攝的，叫做旅行家飛船。
161.And that's a picture of me in front of it for scale.
這是我站在它前面，作為尺寸對比。
162.The Voyager is a tiny machine.
旅行家號是個很小的機器。
163.It's currently 10 billion miles away from Earth, transmitting with that dish, with the power of 20 watts, and we're still in contact with it.
現在它離地球有100億千里遠， 用那個衛星盤以20瓦特的功率傳輸數據， 我們還在和它保持聯繫。
164.But it visited Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
它拜訪了木星，土星， 天王星和海王星。
165.And after it visited all four of those planets, Carl Sagan, who's one of my great heroes, had the wonderful idea of turning Voyager around
它拜訪完這四個行星之後， 我的偶像之一，卡爾 薩根， 有了個很棒的主意 把旅行家號調頭
166.and taking a picture of every planet it had visited.
拍下它拜訪過的星球的照片。
167.And it took this picture of Earth.
它拍了這張地球的照片。
168.Now it's very hard to see the Earth there, it's called the "Pale Blue Dot" picture, but Earth is suspended in that red shaft of light.
這上面很難看見地球，這張照片被稱為“微弱藍點”， 但地球懸掛在這道光線之中。
169.That's Earth from four billion miles away.
這是40億英里遠看到的地球。
170.And I'd like to read you what Sagan wrote about it, just to finish, because I cannot say words as beautiful as this to describe what he saw
我想讀一段 薩根寫的文字，作為結束， 因為我無法說出像他那樣優美的文字， 來形容在他拍攝的那張照片裡
171.in that picture that he had taken.
他所看見的情形。
172.He said, "Consider again that dot.
他說，“再看一下這個點吧。
173.That's here. That's home. That's us.
它在那裡。那就是我們的家，我們的一切。
174.On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives.
在它上面，有你愛的每個人、 你認識的每個人、你聽說過的每個人。 歷史上的每一個人， 都在它上面度過了自己的一生。
175.The aggregates of joy and suffering thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward,
所有我們的歡樂和痛苦， 所有言之鑿鑿的宗教、 意識形態和經濟原理， 所有獵人和強盜，所有英雄和懦夫，
176.every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child,
所有文明的創造者和毀滅者， 所有的皇帝和農夫，所有熱戀中的青年情侶， 所有的父母、滿懷希望的孩子、
177.inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species,
發明者和探索者， 所有精神導師，所有腐敗的政治家， 所有“超級明星”，所有“最高領導人”， 所有聖徒和罪人，從人類這個種族存在的第一天起
