A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
地球
Planet
Each one of us decides to incarnate upon this planet at a particular point in time and space. We have chosen to come here to learn a particular lesson that will advance us upon our spiritual, evolutionary pathway.
我们每一个人都决定化身在这个星球上的特定时间和空间点上。我们选择来到这里来学习一个特殊的课程，它将推进我们灵性的进化之路。
I have departed from this planet and I have left behind my poor earthly ones with their occupations which are as many as they are useless; at last I am living in the scintillating splendor of the stars, each of which used to seem to me as large as millions of suns.
我已经离开了这个星球，我把我可怜的地球人抛在身后，让他们从事着许多无用的工作;我终于生活在群星闪烁的光辉中了，在我看来，每一颗星星都曾经有几百万个太阳那么大。
As the great grandchildren of the industrial revolution, we have learned, at last, that the heedless pursuit of more is unsustainable and, ultimately, unfulfilling. Our planet, our security, our sense of equanimity and our very souls demand something better, something different.
作为工业革命的曾孙，我们终于认识到，盲目追求更多是不可持续的，最终是无法实现的。我们的星球，我们的安全，我们的平静，我们的灵魂需要更好的，不同的东西。
Style, I think, is panache. Who are you? What did you do today? And what are you worth to me? What do you have to offer the world? How did you spend your time today on this planet? How are you spending your time every second? What are you doing now? Are you alive, or are you somnambulant?
我认为，风格是一种炫耀。你是谁?你今天做了什么?你对我有什么价值?你能给这个世界带来什么?你今天在这个星球上是如何度过的?你每一秒的时间是怎么度过的?你现在在做什么?你还活着，还是在梦游?

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The way I see it, the earth is going to be here after we're dead and gone. Even if it's a polluted planet, and they messed it up. Where do they go from here - to another planet so they can mess that up too?
在我看来，地球在我们死后还会存在。即使这是一个被污染的星球，他们把它搞砸了。它们从这里到另一个星球去了哪里?
When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.
当我们有了和平，那么我们就有机会拯救地球。但是，如果我们不能在和平中团结起来，如果我们不实行有意识的消费，我们就无法拯救我们的地球。
That's one of the ironies of our time: Right when we're on the edge of serious improvements in health care, we're also cooking the planet.
这是我们这个时代的一个讽刺之处:正当我们处于医疗保健水平大幅提高的边缘之际，我们也在烹饪这个星球。
How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.
我们如何使用我们的家园，我们如何生活和污染地球是可怕的。这在我小时候就很明显了。现在更明显了。
Perhaps two million years ago the creatures of a planet in some remote galaxy faced a musical crisis similar to that which we earthly composers face today.
也许两百万年以前，某个遥远星系的某个星球上的生物面临着一场音乐危机，就像我们地球上的作曲家今天所面临的一样。
We seem to think we have some control over this planet.
我们似乎认为我们可以控制这个星球。
