That only 6 people have survived rabies. Rabies has a 99% Mortality rate.
只有6个人从狂犬病中幸存。狂犬病的致死率是99%。
你可能在得了狂犬病之后一整年都没有症状，但是一旦你开始出现症状，就已经太晚了。可能在出现症状之后几天之内你就会死掉。
More than a year, it can lay dormant for several years. You go on a camping trip and wake up noting you have a scratch on your arm. You put a band aid on and think no more about it. A couple of years later you feel unwell. You're already dead, there's nothing to save you.
不止一年，它可以在休眠状态好几年。你可能出门去野营，醒来之后发现胳膊上多了个划伤。你贴了张创可贴，然后就再也没想过这件事。几年之后你突然觉得不太舒服。那你就已经死了，根本没有什么能救你的。
狂犬病真的吓人。
Dragonflies accelerate at up to 4G and corner at up to 9G
蜻蜓加速时的加速度可达到4G，拐弯时的加速度可达到9G
Dragonflies are also the most efficient hunter, catching up to 95% of prey
蜻蜓也是最有效率的猎人，能成功抓住95%以上的猎物。
And that’s why Formula 1 teams partially base their car designs on dragonflies.
所以一级方程式赛车的队伍会部分借鉴蜻蜓来设计自己的车辆。
The Australian Funnel Web Spider is often regarded as the world's deadliest and hasn't had a confirmed kill in over 40 years since the antivenom was created.

In 1995, a man named MacArthur Wheeler robbed two banks at gunpoint, he was arrested mere hours later because he didn't wear a mask. instead, he decided to coat his face in lemon juice because he read that lemon juice can be used to make invisible ink. His logic, was that it would make his face invisible. And reportedly, he said to one of the tellers "don't worry, I have a face, it's just invisible". The only thing he did when he was arrested was sigh dejectedly and say "but I wore the juice!". His case is actually still in academic journals regarding the fact that people with low intelligence do in fact believe that they're smarter than everyone else.
在1995年，一个名叫麦克阿瑟·惠勒的人持枪抢劫了两所银行，他几个小时之后就被逮捕了，因为他没有戴面具。他决定用柠檬汁涂满自己的脸，因为他不知从哪听说柠檬汁可以用来制作隐形墨水。据报道，他对其中一个银行柜员说，“别担心，我长了脸，只不过脸是隐形的”。他被捕之后做的唯一一件事就是垂头丧气地叹气，说“但是我抹了柠檬汁呀！”他的这桩案子仍然记录在学术期刊里，证明了低智商的人确实相信他们比别人都聪明。
编辑：那个男人当时他妈的45岁。
"Should I test this out before I try to rob a bank? Nah, I'm sure it works."
“我抢银行之前是还不是应该先试试？用不着，肯定好使。”
I used to work with some of those people.

Oxford university is older than the Aztec empire.

It's also about 74 years away from its millennium anniversary.
而且牛津大学还有大概74年就要迎来千年校庆了。
建立于1088年的博洛尼亚大学，比牛津大学还要早建校6年，因此还有66年就要迎来千年校庆了。
我不觉得我能活到牛津的千年校庆，但是努努力应该能撑到博洛尼亚大学的。
105 billion people have lived so far. 7.9 billion of us are currently alive.

我记得我之前在哪听说过，150年前的一只松鼠可以从密西西比河一棵树挨着一棵树地跳过去，一路跳到美国的东海岸，不需要着地。
Tsutomo Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip and on the day he was supposed to leave, the atomic bomb dropped. He survived with minor injuries and returned to his home in Nagasaki where he went to work 3 days later. As he was describing his experience to his supervisor, the second bomb was dropped and he survived without any injuries. He ended up living into his 90s.
广岛核爆那天，山口疆正在广岛出差，在他本来该走的时候，核弹炸了。他活了下来，只受了轻伤，于是回到了自己在长崎的家，三天之后就去上班了。他跟自己的上司描述自己经验的时候，第二颗核弹又炸了，他又活了下来，并且毫发无损。他活到了九十多岁。
My favourite detail about this story is that he took the train from Hiroshima to Nagasaki. Trains were still running in the aftermath of a nuclear strike.
我对这个故事最喜欢的细节就是他坐着火车从广岛去了长崎。核打击之后火车竟然还在开。
Every human could fit into a cubic mile.

Dinosaurs are older than grass.
恐龙的历史比草更悠久。
你所看到的的每个恐龙在草地上行走的艺术家假想图都是错的。当时绝大多数地表植被都是蕨类或者开花的灌木，而不是草。
And what was pollinating those flowering bushes? Bees. Yep, bees have been around since the dinosaurs.
又是什么在给这些开花的灌木传粉呢？是蜜蜂。没错，蜜蜂的历史和恐龙差不多久。
*flowering bushes are also younger than most dinosaurs
开花灌木也比绝大多数的恐龙更年轻

For 60 million years, there was no bacteria, fungus, anything to decompose trees. They just got crushed under the weight of other dead trees. This is where about 90% of coal comes from.
有六千万年的时间，没有任何细菌、真菌之类的东西分解树木。那些树木被其他倒伏枯树的枝干压碎了。大约90%的煤就是来自这个时代。
The Loudest Sound In Recorded History Was The Krakatoa Volcanic Eruption Of 1883
历史上有记录的最响的声音是1883年的喀拉喀托火山喷发。
火山喷发正中心之外40英里的人的耳膜都被震碎了，产生的声波绕了地球七圈，短短一万英里之外的纽约市都听得见。
I still do not understand how this is possible. And how we haven’t been able to hear something similar since.
我仍然无法理解这怎么可能。以及我们为什么此后没听到过类似的巨响。
Read Simon Winchester's book "Krakatoa" and prepare to be amazed. You know it was a hell of an event if an entire book can be written about it. What I loved learning is how the ash affected the appearance of skies all around the earth for years, creating all the vibrant sunsets we find in paintings from that era. It's just stunning, but all his work is.
读一读西蒙·温切斯特的书《喀拉喀托》，做好被吓到的准备吧。如果某件事情能够专门写一本书出来的话，那你就肯定知道这件事特别大。我最喜欢的就是火山灰让世界各地的天空改变了好几年，导致了当时绘画作品中多姿多彩的日落。真的令人惊讶，但他的整本书都是如此。
It's also theorized that the orange sky in The Scream is what the sky looked like in Europe after the eruption of Krakatoa in Southeast Asia
还有理论认为《呐喊》里橙色的天空就是在东南亚的喀拉喀托火山喷发之后，欧洲的天空的样子。
I guess I’m more confused on how they were able to measure that at the time
我感觉让我更疑惑的是他们是怎么在当时那个时代测量出这些东西的。
The US has a 1.4 billion pound cheese surplus. It’s all stored in the Cheese Cave in Missouri
美国有14亿磅的奶酪盈余。全都储存在密苏里州的一个奶酪洞里。
I live in Springfield, Mo where the cheese is stored. Full time guards and no one is allowed in the underground unless you work there or you have someone that will sign for you. Basically like a military installation. It's not a cave either. It's a limestone mine that's still being mined and it's bigger than you could ever imagine. I think there are some YouTube videos that show the inside. Springfield underground is what it's called.
我住在密苏里州的春田市，那些奶酪就储存在这里。24小时都有保安，除非你在那工作或者有人给你签证明，否则没人可以进入地下设施。基本上就是个军事基地。也不是山洞，其实是个石灰石矿坑，今天仍然在开采，规模比你能想象的还要大。我记得YouTube上有展示里面的样子的视频。我们都管它叫春田地下基地。
That’s a lot, but not as much as you’d think. Americans consume 10x that amount annually, and the stock in the caves is constantly rotated out for consumption.
确实是很大的数量，但也没你想象的那么大。美国人每年消费的奶酪是那里储藏的10倍，并且洞穴里的储备是经常轮换出去卖给消费者的。
Clouds weigh hundreds of thousands of pounds, full of water, effortlessly floating above our heads. No support, No structure, just weight, floating around above us and we're like, yep totally believable, because they're clouds, duh.
云彩，重达几十万磅，全都是水，轻轻松松地飘在我们的头顶。没有支撑，没有结构，就是单纯的重量，飘在我们的头顶上，我们却觉得完全可以相信，因为它们是云彩。
I would love to understand more about this. Never even crossed my mind but that seems pretty amazing now that I think about it.
我很想了解更多，从来都没想起过这件事但是现在一想起来我觉得这还挺厉害的。

AKA they were SUPER small, driven by hand and designed to make what they were already doing faster and easier on the mother.
其实它们最开始特别小，是手摇的，并且发明的目的是让他们在产妇身上做的活计快一点。
不是把什么斯蒂尔牌15马力的柴油锯拖进妇产科。
They cut the damn pubic bone apart. Yes, through the pussy and all.
他们用那个把耻骨切开。对，从批里面切开。
They weren't the giant ones used for cutting trees. They were very small and were used to cut part of the pubic bone away if a baby got stuck in the birth canal. This was before C-sections were a thing. If a C-section was performed back then, the mother almost always died. And if the baby stayed stuck it would suffocate and the mother would die a slow death from exhaustion or infection from either trying to push the baby out for days or the dead baby rotting inside her. So this was the best option they had at the time, cut the pubic bone away to make more space for the baby to get pulled out.
不是用来砍树的那种，一开始非常小，是当孩子被卡在产道的时候用来切除部分耻骨的。这是在剖腹产流行之前，因为当时如果进行剖腹产，母亲基本上100%会死。但是如果婴儿卡在里面，婴儿就会知悉，母亲就会要么死于精疲力竭，要么死于生产导致的感染，或者死婴在她的体内腐烂。所以这是他们当时最好的选择，把耻骨切掉来让孩子有更大的空间生出来。

There is more debt than money in the world.
世界上的债务比钱还多。
It's simpler than most people think too. Sally loans Joe $10, Joe turns around and loans that $10 to Bob, and Bob then loans it to Billy. There's still only $10 in the system, but $30 of debt.
而且背后的原理也比绝大多数人所想的要简单。比如萨莉借乔十块，乔转手把十块钱借给鲍勃，然后鲍勃再借给比利。整个系统里只有十块钱，但是出现了三十块的债务。

One I think of frequently, my ancestors have never once failed to reproduce. For since the dawn of time, all possible material sequences that can be sexted have been positively sexted to create me, and if I were to not reproduce, I would be the first one to not reproduce.
我经常想起的一件事，就是我的祖先们未曾繁殖失败过哪怕一次。自从人类的曙光开始，我的降生所需要的所有物质都选择好了，所以如果我不繁殖的话，我将会是这些人里第一个决定不繁殖的。
100% of your direct genetic ancestors lived long enough to successfully reproduce
你的直系先祖有100%都活得足够长，能够成功地繁殖。
Also, no matter what historical event you can think of, you had an ancestor alive during that time period.
此外，不论你在思考哪个历史阶段，你当时都有一个祖先活着。

That nothing touches anything really. On a molecular level, the electrons’ negative charge repels other electrons in other obxts, and nothing really touches. Even your fingers, pushing them hard up against each other, actually doesn’t touch.
没什么东西是真正的彼此接触的。在分子水平上，电子的负电荷会与其他物体中的电子互相排斥，没什么真的会碰到一起。就算是你的手指，彼此结结实实地按在一起，其实也没有互相接触。
