在那樣的年紀(jì),我會找任何借口做些估測或者小算術(shù)。我會計算油耗還有雜貨花銷等雞毛蒜皮的小事。我聽過一個有關(guān)吸煙的廣告。我記不得細(xì)節(jié)了,但是廣告大意是說,每吸一口香煙會減少幾分鐘的壽命,大概是兩分鐘。無論如何,我決定為祖母做個算術(shù)。我估測了祖母每天要吸幾支香煙,每支香煙要吸幾口等等,然后心滿意足地得出了一個合理的數(shù)字。接著,我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的頭,又拍了拍她的肩膀,然后驕傲地宣稱,"每天吸兩分鐘的煙,你就少活九年!"
At that age, I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details, but basically the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, "At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your life!"
表演是一種活出自己瘋狂的方式。
我不是榜樣,我只是個唱歌的人。
I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.
Technology can be our greatest ally in creating a sustainable fishing industry.
If you're not doing some things that are crazy, then you're doing the wrong things.
可持續(xù)性不僅僅是一個流行詞;它是我們海洋未來的基礎(chǔ)。
Profitability and sustainability can—and must—coexist.
