臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
But it turns out high birth rates and the population explosion are not permanent features of some cultures or countries. But rather a part of a four-step process the whole world is going through, The demographic transition. Most developed countries have already made the transition, while other countries are doing it right now.
但結果發現:高出生率及人口爆炸對于某些文化或國家來說并不是永久的現象,這現象僅只是整個世界所經歷的四階段程序的其中一個階段:人口分布的改變。大部分的發達國家都已經歷過,而其他國家只是正在經歷這個階段罷了。
