Being terrestrial creatures, humans got used to see and perceive the surroundings from the surface of the Planet. Walking or driving the streets, we can see the trees, buildings, yards, and other people around us in relatively great details. However, our vision is limited and we cannot perceive the entire image of the district or town, we live in, other than by looking at the map. Rising up into the sky on board of a plane allows a human to see the world from an absolutely different angle. It is like scaling down the image inGoogle Earth application – we just omit the smallest details, such as houses or cars, concentrating on the entire image of a particular locality.
作為陸地生物,人類習(xí)慣于觀看和感知地表周圍的事物。在街道上行走或驅(qū)車,我們能將樹、建筑、庭院和其他的人看個究竟。然而,我們的視覺也有局限,除去查看地圖之外,我們無法看到自己所居住地區(qū)或城鎮(zhèn)的全貌。乘坐飛機(jī)升到空中,人便能以完全不同的角度來打量這個世界。這就像Google Earth應(yīng)用中按比例縮小的圖一樣,我們只是省去了那些最小的細(xì)節(jié)(如房子或汽車),集中關(guān)注于特定地點(diǎn)的全景圖。
