It is a talent we have only barely begun to grasp.
這樣一種技巧，我們才剛剛開始掌握。
We have arrived at this position of eminence in a stunningly short time.
在不太長的一段時間里，我們已經達到了一個優(yōu)越的位置。
Behaviorally modern human beings—that is, people who can speak and make art and organize complex activities——have existed for only about 0.0001 percent of Earth's history.
從行為科學的意義上說——也就是能夠說話，從事藝術，組織復雜而又豐富多彩的活動——現代人類存在的時間只占地球歷史的萬分之一——實在短得可憐。
But surviving for even that little while has required a nearly endless string of good fortune.
但是，即便是存在如此短暫的時間，也需要一連串差不多永無休止的好運。
We really are at the beginning of it all. The trick, of course, is to make sure we never find the end.
我們確實還處于起始階段。當然，問題的關鍵是要確保我們一路走好，并且永無盡頭。
And that, almost certainly, will require a good deal more than lucky breaks.
而這一切，幾乎可以肯定的就是，僅僅有好運相伴是遠遠不夠的。
