A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人口
Population
The optimum population is, then, less than the maximum.
因此,最优种群小于最大值。
I did not claim that speciation occurs only in founder populations.
我并不是说物种形成只发生在创始人群体中。

随着格鲁吉亚人口的急剧增长,发展也在迅猛增长。
It's clear that science and science fiction have overlapping populations.
很明显,科学和科幻小说有重叠的人群。

我们的人口正走向稳定的高原,这意味着人口老龄化。
Do not forget birthdays. This is in no way a propaganda for a larger population.
不要忘记生日。这绝不是针对更多人的宣传。
The black population now consists of two distinct classes-the middle class and the poor.
黑人人口现在由两个截然不同的阶层组成——中产阶级和穷人。
Of course, a positive growth rate might be taken as evidence that a population is below its optimum.
当然,正增长率可以作为人口低于其最佳水平的证据。
The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I had found again and again that the most aberrant population of a species - often having reached species rank, and occasionally classified even as a separate genus - occurred at a peripheral location, indeed usually at the most isolated peripheral location.
我一次又一次地发现,一个物种中最异常的种群——往往达到了物种的级别,有时甚至被划分为一个单独的属——发生在一个边缘位置,实际上通常是在最孤立的边缘位置。
I tend to discourage people from calling me 'Sir Ian,' because I don't like being separated out from the rest of the population. Of course, it can be useful if you're writing an official letter, like trying to get a visa or something passed through Parliament. They're impressed by these things.
我不鼓励别人叫我“伊恩爵士”,因为我不喜欢和其他人分开。当然,如果你正在写一封正式的信件,比如申请签证或议会通过的什么东西,这是很有用的。他们对这些东西印象深刻。
I would be absolutely astounded if population growth and industrialisation and all the stuff we are pumping into the atmosphere hadn't changed the climatic balance. Of course it has. There is no valid argument for denial.
如果人口增长、工业化以及我们排放到大气中的所有物质没有改变气候平衡,我绝对会大吃一惊。当然有。否认是没有正当理由的。
As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the two simultaneous but quite separate phenomena of adaptation and diversification.
结果,遗传学家将进化简单地描述为种群中基因频率的变化,完全忽略了进化由两种同时存在但又截然不同的适应和多样化现象组成的事实。
A society that does not use the intellectual power of its female population fully is not a wise society. Most women are not as tainted by mistakes in the conduct of the economy as the male population, and now they deserve an opportunity.
一个没有充分利用其女性人口的智力力量的社会不是一个明智的社会。大多数女性不像男性那样被经济运行中的错误所玷污,现在她们应该得到一个机会。
I soon became convinced... that all the theorizing would be empty brain exercise and therefore a waste of time unless one first ascertained what the population of the universe really consists of.
我很快就相信了……所有的理论都是空洞的大脑活动,因此如果不先弄清楚宇宙到底由什么组成,那就是在浪费时间。
