We are told that the trouble with modern man is that he has been trying to detach himself from nature... In this scenario, Man comes on as a stupendous lethal force, and the Earth is pictured as something delicate, like rising bubbles at the surface of a country pond, or flights of fragile birds.

  • -- Lewis Thomas 路易斯·汤马斯

我们被告知现代人的问题在于他一直试图使自己脱离自然。在这种情况下，人类作为一种巨大的致命力量出现，而地球被描绘成一种微妙的东西，就像一个乡村池塘表面升起的气泡，或者脆弱的鸟类的飞翔。
