I am water. To humans I am simply just there.
我是水。對于人類來說我司空見慣。
I'm something they just take for granted.
我對他們只是理所當然的東西。
But there is only so much of me. And more and more of them every single day.
但是我是非常有限的,而人類的數量卻每天都在增長。
I start as rain in the mountains flow to the rivers and streams. And end up in the ocean.
我化身為雨水落入山中,流進小溪與河流并最終匯入海洋。
Then the cycle begins again.
然后循環再次開始。
And it will take me 10,000 years to get back to the state I am in now.
要回到我現在的狀態需要一萬年。
But to humans? I'm just water. Just there.
然而對于人類來說,我只是水,理所當然就在那里。
Where will humans find me when there are billions more of them around?
如果人口再增加幾十億,人類還能找到我嗎?
Where will they find themselves?
他們自己又將如何生存?
Will they wage wars over me?
他們會為了我而發動戰爭嗎?
Like they do over everything else?
就像他們為了其他事而做的那樣?
That's always an option. But it's not the only option.
那倒是一種選擇,但并非唯一的選擇。
