歌词与翻译

[中文]

进化论是所有生命科学的基础理念。

如果我们培养出一代不理解生物学主要思想的科学学生，

他们将接受不完整的教育，这将会给

美国带来麻烦，因为美国依靠创新来维持其经济地位——

不断涌现新的想法、新的产品、新的做事方式。

这就是美国生产并带给世界的。

如果我们培养出很大一部分不理解科学的学生，

我们将不会有工程师和科学家来延续这一传统。

所以对我来说，这令人担忧，无论客观上还是主观上，作为一个公民，

我认为，我认为在这里Big Think的问题与

I believe, I think here on Big Think that the problem is the same thing that allows

我们识别模式、想象形状和事物、路线以及完成事情的方式相同——

在我们实际开始做这些事情之前。这种能力也让我们能够

理解，尽管我们尽了最大的努力，我们最终都会死去。

我认为这让所有人都有点疯癫。

我们都觉得这有点令人不安。

所以，因为这似乎难以置信，我们大脑中储存的所有这些东西，所有

我们拥有的记忆，所有我们能够记住的心理图像，所有我们学到的代数，

所有这些在我们死后都会消失，这对于我们所有人来说都很难接受。

还有一点是，我们不是大自然的最终结论。

我们不是自然最终得出的答案。

我们不是某个实体创造的最优秀的作品。

我们只是进化时间线上的又一个步骤。

对于很多人来说，这太令人不安了，他们根本无法接受。

对我来说，当然，这令人鼓舞和惊叹，它让我想要尽可能最好地度过每一天。

但对于很多人来说，这简直是无法想象的。

我们的旅程始于我在纽约的时候。

我现在住在纽约，但一年半前，我乘坐飞机来到这里，

我必须去某个地方参加电视采访——我必须早上5点左右起床，

and I had to be someplace for a television interview at – I had to get up around 5:00

东部时间，也就是太平洋时间凌晨2点。

Eastern time which was 2:00 a.m.

当我到达Big Think时，我已经精疲力尽了。

And by the time I got to Big Think I was worn out.

我有点累了。

你们问了我一个关于创世论的绝妙问题。

我不知道你们为什么选择问这个问题，我发自内心地表达了

我对美国科学教育体系的担忧，对美国科学学生来说，

被排除在外，或者没有受到启迪，没有被赋予所有生物学的基础理念——

通过自然选择的演化，进化。

所以你们发布了它，人们在电子互联网上，孩子们使用的电脑上，有点疯狂。

我只是提醒大家，当人们花时间写信并如此憎恨我时，这些人

And I just remind everybody when people take the time to write and they take the time to

不是你可以讲道理的人。

不是你可以坐下来进行对话和讨论，并达成新的结论的人。

我们每个人都已经基本下定决心，所以你不能太担心这些事情。

We each have pretty much made up our minds and so you can’t worry about that stuff

我的担忧不是那些花时间写这些煽动性言论的大人们，

My concern is not for the grownups who take the time to write these inflammatory things

也不是那些对你们精彩的网站做出反应的人。

我的担忧是那些仍然在学校里的人，美国未来的

未来，美国经济的未来。

以及更大的世界经济的未来。

美国的影响力如此之大。

它是世界上人口第三多的国家，也是第一个将人类送上月球的国家。

它仍然是一个巨大的影响力。

I mean it’s still a big influence.

你可以提出强有力的论据，支持韩国、日本——巨大的经济体正在做令人惊叹的事情，

巴西也在做令人惊叹的事情。

但美国仍然是这方面的领导者，所以当我们排除一代科学学生时，我们正走向麻烦。

我想提醒大家的是，那些对Big Think视频下方的煽动性评论感到不安的人，

I guess what I would just remind everybody who is troubled, each of us who might be upset

by the inflammatory comments below the Big Think videos, those people are not really

这些人并不真正代表主流，我明确地声明，如果他们真的相信地球只有6000年历史，

他们就真的错了。

这不是一个非同寻常的声明。

但我不知道——我不确定Answers in Genesis的人是否真的

相信地球只有6000年历史。

我会说他们似乎是这样。

当你和他们在一起时，他们似乎是真正的信徒。

但他们都使用手机，他们都使用Facebook和Twitter等等。

他们利用了我们通过科学过程开发的所有技术。

他们都乐于接种天花疫苗，如果他们年龄合适的话。

或者他们很高兴没有死于天花，这样说吧。

他们都乐于食用在农场种植的食物，这些食物通常比

世界其他地方的食物更健康。

它没有像食物中可能相关的细菌和其他有害病原体那么多的细菌。

偶尔我们在这里会遇到大麻烦，但美国的食品系统比大多数地方都好。

Once in a while we have big trouble here but the United State food system is a lot better

他们利用了所有这些。

And they take advantage of all of that.

但显然他们似乎不欣赏导致这一切的科学。

我发现Answers in Genesis的人如此令人不安的是，他们对年轻人有一个非常刻苦

或完整的灌输计划。

他们有测验、练习册和课堂课程，旨在灌输年轻人

地球只有6000年历史，4000年前发生了一场大洪水，

陆地植物却奇迹般地幸存下来，盐水和淡水混合，但仍然有淡水鱼等等。

所有这些自然证据都表明它有多么错误，他们

All these bits of evidence in nature that point out how obviously wrong it is, they

坚持下去，并努力灌输年轻人。

[英语]

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science.

So if we raise a generation of science students who don’t understand the main idea in biology

they’re going to be incompletely educated students and this is going to be trouble for

the United States because the United States keeps in the game economically by innovating

– having new ideas, new products, new ways of doing things.

That’s what the United States produces and brings to the world.

And if we raise a significant fraction of our students who don’t understand science

we’re not going to have the engineers and scientists to continue this tradition.

So for me it’s troubling objectively or subjectively as one can be and as a citizen

of the U.S.

I believe, I think here on Big Think that the problem is the same thing that allows

us to recognize patterns to imagine shapes and things and routes and ways to get things

done before we actually start doing those things that that ability also enables us to

understand that despite our best efforts we’re all going to die.

And I think that makes all of us a little nutty.

We all find it a little troubling.

And so because it seems incredible that all this stuff that we store in our brain, all

the memories we have, all the mental images that we are able to keep, all the algebra

that we learn, that all that goes away when we die is really hard for all of us to accept.

And along with this is that we are not nature’s last word.

We are not the final answer that nature came up with.

That we are not what some entity created as his or her very best work.

We’re just one more step on the evolutionary timeline.

And for many people that’s so troubling they can’t accept it at all.

For me, of course, it’s empowering and amazing and it makes me want to live every moment

of every day in the best way possible.

But for a lot of people it’s literally unimaginable.

Our journey begins when I was in New York.

I’m living in New York nowadays but a year and a half ago I came here on an airplane

and I had to be someplace for a television interview at – I had to get up around 5:00

a.m.

Eastern time which was 2:00 a.m.

Pacific time.

And by the time I got to Big Think I was worn out.

I was a little worn out.

And you guys asked me a fabulous question about creationism.

I’m not sure why you chose to ask that question and I spoke from the heart how troubling I

find it for the United States science educational system, for our science students in the U.S.

to be excluded or not be enlightened and not be enabled by the fundamental idea in all

of biology which is descent by natural selection, evolution.

So you guys posted that and people went a little crazy on the electric Internet, the

computer machine that the kids use.

And I just remind everybody when people take the time to write and they take the time to

hate me that much, these are not people you’re not going to reason with.

These are not people that you’re going to sit down and have a conversation with and

a discussion and achieve a new conclusion.

We each have pretty much made up our minds and so you can’t worry about that stuff

too much.

My concern is not for the grownups who take the time to write these inflammatory things

and react to your fabulous website and so on.

My concern is for the people who are still in school, the people who are the future of

the U.S., the future of the U.S. economy.

And larger the future of the world’s economy.

I mean the United States is so influential.

It’s the third most populous nation in the world and it’s the nation that sent people

to the moon.

I mean it’s still a big influence.

You can make very strong arguments for South Korea, Japan – huge economies doing amazing

– Brazil doing amazing things.

But still the United States is the leader in this stuff and so when we exclude a generation

of science students we’re headed for trouble.

I guess what I would just remind everybody who is troubled, each of us who might be upset

by the inflammatory comments below the Big Think videos, those people are not really

in the mainstream and I will state categorically that if they really believe the earth is 6,000

years old they’re really wrong about that.

And that’s not an extraordinary statement.

But I can’t tell – I’m not sure if the guys, the people at Answers in Genesis really

believe that the earth is 6,000 years old.

I’ll say they certainly seem to.

When you’re with them they certainly seem to be true believers.

But they all use mobile phones, they all use Facebook and Twitter and so on.

They take advantage of all of our technology developed through the process of science.

They’re all happy to have had smallpox vaccinations if they’re of a certain age.

Or they’re all happy to have not died of smallpox, I’ll put it that way.

They’re all happy to eat food grown on farms that is in general extraordinarily healthy

in general compared to other parts of the world.

It’s not laden with bacteria and other harmful pathogens that might be associated with food

stock.

Once in a while we have big trouble here but the United State food system is a lot better

than most places.

And they take advantage of all of that.

But apparently they don’t seem to appreciate the science that led to it all.

And what I find so troubling with the Answers in Genesis people is they have a very diligent

or complete indoctrination program for young people.

They have quizzes and workbooks and classroom curricula designed to indoctrinate young people

in the extraordinary and obviously wrong idea that the earth is somehow 6,000 years old

and there was a flood 4,000 years ago and somehow land plants survived and salt water

and seawater mixed but there’s still freshwater fish and so on.

All these bits of evidence in nature that point out how obviously wrong it is, they

press on and they work very hard to indoctrinate young people.
