A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
进化
Evolution
The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar.
来自无细胞系统和突变研究的证据表明,这不是随机发生的,编码相同氨基酸的三胞胎很可能非常相似。
I think that my main criticism in that book was directed at the general assumption that adaptation characterizes populations and species, rather than simply the individuals in the populations and species.
我认为我在那本书中的主要批评是针对一个普遍的假设,即适应性是种群和物种的特征,而不仅仅是种群和物种中的个体。
A key issue in developmental biology at that time was the problem of how cells underwent differentiation, with most workers concentrating on explanations in terms of changes in enzyme and gene regulation.
当时发育生物学的一个关键问题是细胞是如何分化的,大多数研究者都专注于解释酶和基因调控的变化。
Most of them are doomed to rapid extinction, but a few may make evolutionary inventions, such as physiological, ecological, or behavioral innovations that give these species improved competitive potential.
它们中的大多数注定会迅速灭绝,但也有少数可能会做出进化性的发明,比如生理、生态或行为创新,从而提高这些物种的竞争潜力。
But I've come to the point in my evolution on the instrument where I realize that I can't play the same stuff that just a guitar player or organ player would play - and I need to embrace that in a big way.
但在我的乐器发展过程中,我意识到我不能演奏出仅仅是吉他手或管风琴手才能演奏的东西——我需要在很大程度上接受这一点。
Digital brand integration is part of the evolution of product placement. It's simply another tool marketers use to get products integrated into shows. If you can put it in a package, we can put it in a show.
数字品牌整合是植入式广告发展的一部分。这只是营销人员用来将产品整合到展会中的另一种工具。如果你能把它包装起来,我们就能把它展示出来。
But the revolutions and changes which are responsible for the present state of the earth are not limited to the upsetting of the ancient strata and to the ebbing of the sea after the formations of new layers.
但是,造成地球现状的革命和变化并不局限于古老地层的倾覆和新地层形成后的海平面的下降。
If you assume that it was a valid experiment, then its disintegration reveals a very substantial part of what has been found since then, including the fact that you can get heat generation at high temperature.
如果你假设这是一个有效的实验,那么它的衰变揭示了从那以后发现的一个非常重要的部分,包括你可以在高温下产生热量的事实。
The more specific idea of Evolution now reached is - a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.
现在达到的关于进化的更具体的观点是——从一种不确定的、不连贯的均匀性到一种明确的、连贯的异质性的变化,伴随着运动的耗散和物质的整合。
Evolution is true, it happens, it is the way the world is, and we too are one of its products. This does not mean that evolution does not have metaphysical implications; I remain convinced that this is the case.
进化是真实的,它发生了,世界就是这样,我们也是它的产物之一。这并不意味着进化没有形而上学的含义;我仍然相信情况就是这样。
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。
Moreover, all our knowledge of organic remains teaches us, that species have a definite existence, and a centralization in geological time as well as in geographical space, and that no species is repeated in time.
此外,我们对有机遗迹的所有知识都告诉我们,物种有明确的存在,在地质时间和地理空间上都是集中的,没有物种在时间上是重复的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
了解这个世界,了解它的运作方式,了解任何科学和人类学,这是我们生活的一个非常有趣的地方。进化是一个非常奇妙的想法,甚至比上帝的想法更奇妙。
The Theory of Evolution has more holes in it than a dam made out of Swiss cheese.
进化论的漏洞比瑞士奶酪做的水坝还多。
Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.
爱是一种神圣的能量储备;它就像精神进化的血液。
Already at the origin of the species man was equal to what he was destined to become.
在人类的起源之时,人类就已经和他注定要成为的人是平等的了。
The most telling and profound way of describing the evolution of the universe would undoubtedly be to trace the evolution of love.
描述宇宙进化最生动、最深刻的方式无疑是追溯爱的进化。
But when you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.
但是当你身在一个地方,在一个物理植物里,在一群人里,在一个共同的历史里,这就限制了你的进化和你向特定方向进化的能力。
