1.I want to talk about penguins today. 今天，我来谈谈企鹅。2.But first, I want to start by saying that we need a new operating system, for the oceans and for the Earth. 但是首先，我想说 我们需要一个新的操作系统， 为了海洋和地球。3.When I came to the Galapagos 40 years ago, there were 3,000 people that lived in the Galapagos. 40年前当我来到加拉帕戈斯的时候， 大约有3000人 生活在加拉帕戈斯4.Now there are over 30,000. 现在有超过3万的人口。5.There were two Jeeps on Santa Cruz. 当时的圣特鲁斯只有2辆吉普车。6.Now, there are around a thousand trucks and buses and cars there. 而现在，大约有1千辆卡车， 巴士和汽车。7.So the fundamental problems that we face are overconsumption and too many people. 所以说，我们面临的最根本问题 是过度消费和人口过剩。8.Its the same problems in the Galapagos, except, obviously, its worse here, in some ways, than other places. 加拉帕戈斯存在同样的问题， 除了，很明显的， 在某种意义上，加拉帕戈斯的问题比其他地区的更严重。9.Because weve only doubled the population of the Earth since the 1960s -- a little more than doubled -- but we have 6.7 billion people in the world, 因为地球上的人口仅翻了一番， 自20世纪60年代起，两倍稍微多一些。 但是全世界有67亿人，10.and we all like to consume. 而且我们都喜欢消费。11.And one of the major problems that we have is our operating system is not giving us the proper feedback. 我们的主要问题之一 是我们的操作系统 不能够给我们正常的反馈。12.Were not paying the true environmental costs of our actions. 我们并没有为我们的行为 付出真实的环境代价。13.And when I came at age 22 to live on Fernandina, let me just say, that I had never camped before. 我22岁来到芬南代生活的时候， 可以说，我从来都没有 露营过。14.I had never lived alone for any period of time, and Id never slept with sea lions snoring next to me all night. 我也从来没有 一个人住过。 我更从来没有 整夜睡在打鼾的海狮身边。15.But moreover, Id never lived on an uninhabited island. 还有，我也从来没有生活在一个无人居住的岛屿上。16.Punta Espinosa is where I lived for over a year, and we call it uninhabited because there are no people there. 我在蓬埃斯皮诺萨生活了一年多。 我们说它无人居住是 因为那里没有人。17.But its alive with life; its hardly uninhabited. 但是，其他的生命令它生机无限。 这不能算了无生机。18.So a lot has happened in the last 40 years, and what I learned when I came to the Galapagos is the importance
