A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人口
Population
The poorer is a family, the greater is the proportion of the total outgo which must be used for food... The proportion of the outgo used for food, other things being equal, is the best measure of the material standard of living of a population.
一个家庭越穷，必须用于食物的总支出所占的比例就越大。在其他条件相同的情况下，用于食品的支出比例是衡量一个人口物质生活水平的最佳指标。
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。
Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things.
除非我们在这个国家采取措施来减缓人口增长，减缓人口控制，为人们提供更好的水，为人们提供电力，否则我们将会发现，下一场战争不会因为钻石、黄金和政治问题而爆发。
To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population.

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。
