介绍： Pale Blue Dot
《暗淡蓝点》
—— by Carl Sagan
That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

那是我们的家园，我们的一切。你所爱的每一个人，你认识的每一个人，你听说过的每一个人，曾经有过的每一个人，都在它上面度过他们的一生。
Every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. How frequent their misunderstandings, how fervent their hatreds.
年轻的情侣、母亲与父亲、满怀希望的孩子、人类历史上的每一个圣人与罪犯，都住在这里——一粒悬浮在阳光中的微尘。他们的误解何其多也，他们的仇恨何其强烈。
Our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
我们的妄自尊大，我们在宇宙中拥有某种特权地位的错觉，都受到这个苍白光点的挑战。在庞大的包容一切的暗黑宇宙中，我们的行星是一个孤独的斑点。
In all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
我们无从知晓，在这广袤宇宙中是否会有来自别处的帮助把我们从自己手中拯救。不管你喜欢与否，就目前而言，只有地球是我们的立足之地。
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
除了这张从远处拍摄我们这个微小世界的照片，大概没有别的更好办法可以揭示人类妄自尊大是何等愚蠢。对我来说，这强调说明我们有责任更友好地相处，并且要保护和珍惜这个淡蓝色的光点——这是我们迄今所知的唯一家园。
