TED中英官方演讲稿-JanePoynter_2009X在生态圈2中的生活.docxVIP

1.I have had the distinct pleasure of living inside two biospheres. 我十分荣幸地 在两个生态圈中生活过。2.Of course we all here in this room live in Biosphere 1. 当然，在这间屋子里的人都在生态圈1里。3.Ive also lived in Biosphere 2. 我还曾在生态圈2里生活过。4.And the wonderful thing about that is that I get to compare biospheres. 这其中最美妙的事是，我可以比较这两个生态圈。5.And hopefully from that I get to learn something. 借此我希望能从中学到一些知识。6.So what did I learn? Well, here I am inside Biosphere 2, making a pizza. 那么我们学到了什么？好吧， 这是我在生态圈2里做披萨。7.So I am harvesting the wheat, in order to make the dough. 我正在收割小麦，这样我才有材料做面团。8.And then of course I have to milk the goats and feed the goats in order to make the cheese. 当然我也必须挤好羊奶 以及饲养山羊，这样我才能做出奶酪。9.It took me four months in Biosphere 2 to make a pizza. 在生态圈2里我花了4个月才做出一个披萨。10.Here in Biosphere 1, well it takes me about two minutes, because I pick up the phone and I call and say, Hey, can you deliver the pizza? 在生态圈1里，这只会用掉我2分钟。 因为我只用打个电话，说， “嘿，你能给我送个披萨过来吗？“11.So Biosphere 2 was essentially a three-acre, entirely sealed, miniature world that I lived in for two years and 20 minutes. 所以生态圈2是， 一个由三个圆顶组成的， 完全封闭的小天地 我在那里生存了2年又20分钟。12.(Laughter) Over the top it was sealed with steel and glass, underneath it was sealed with a pan of steel -- essentially entirely sealed. 笑 顶端是被钢铁和玻璃封起来的。 底端是被一堆铁封闭的。 关键的是这是完全封闭的。13.So we had our own miniature rainforest, a private beach with a coral reef. 所以我们有我们自己的迷你雨林， 带珊瑚礁的私人海滩。14.We had a savanna, a marsh, a desert. 我们有一个热带稀树草原，一个沼泽，一个沙漠。15.We had our own half-acre farm that we had to grow everything. 我们有一个半英亩大的农场，足以生产任何产品。16.And of course we had our human habitat, where we lived. 当然，我们也有我们的原住民，我们就住在那。17.Back in the mid-80s when we were designing Biosphere 2, we had to ask ourselves some pretty basic questions. 当我们在80年代中期设计生态圈2的时候 我们必须问到自己很多基础问题。18.I mean, what is a biosphere? 我指的是，什么是一个生态圈。19.Back then, yes, I guess we all know now that it is essentially the sphere of life around the Earth, right?
