    0420 🌍 Google的首席永續官想要讓你看到世界的變化

In orbit, our home looks surprisingly tiny and fragile, surrounded by darkness; as Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell put it in 1968: “The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring, and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth.” 大多數人永遠不會進入到外太空或體驗到「總觀效應」的衝擊，一種很多太空人在外太空遠處看到地球時都會體驗到的效應。隨著軌道行駛的家園，意外的小巧脆弱，四周被黑暗包圍住。阿波羅八號的太空人吉姆·洛維爾在1968年就說到，「遼闊的孤寂是如此的不可思議，讓你一瞬間意識到地球上所擁有的一切。」 -orbit: 軌道 -fragile: 脆弱 -vast: 遼闊的 -awe-inspiring: 令人驚嘆的 👀 Many astronauts have returned home with a renewed passion for protecting our fragile planet, and scientists have long tried to recreate the overview effect for citizens using virtual reality, isolation tanks, and videos. Seeing is believing—especially when it comes to abstract concepts, whether it’s Earth’s place in the universe or irreversible climate change. 很多太空人回到地球後就會重新燃起對於保護地球的熱情，科學家也一直努力地想要透過虛擬現實、隔離室和影片去為大眾重現這個總觀效應。眼見為憑，特別是針對抽象的概念，像是地球在宇宙中的處境或不可逆轉的氣候變遷。 -renewed: 重新的 -recreate: 重現 -isolation: 隔離 -irreversible: 不可逆轉 📷 Google Earth’s new TimeLapse feature was inspired by a desire to show us precisely what climate change looks like. Using 24 million satellite images representing quadrillions of pixels compiled over the course of 37 years (thanks in large part to NASA), TimeLapse is an interactive, 4-D experience that illustrates how certain areas of the planet have changed incredibly quickly. Google Earth最新的縮時攝影功能就是源自於一個想要展示氣候變遷具體樣貌的渴望，將過去37年來的2400萬衛星圖片（大多來自美國太空總署）也就是4.4兆像素集結成一個4D互動性體驗，展現地球的某些區域是如何在短期內經歷驚人的變化。 -satellite images: 衛星圖片 -compiled: 季節 -interactive: 互動性 -illustrates: 展現 ⭐ Watch how sea ice in Greenland has melted as the planet warms, contributing to global sea level rise; how deforestation in the Amazon has intensified in the past 20 years; how the Aral Sea has dried up to a fraction of its size since the early 2000s; how decades of bushfires have impacted Yellabinna, Australia. You can watch skylines pop up seemingly overnight in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, and Dubai, UAE, alluding to the environmental costs of rapid urbanization. 透過縮時攝影，我們可以看到格陵蘭的海冰是如何因全球暖化而融化，造成全球海平面上升；亞馬遜的森林砍伐在過去二十年加劇行動；鹹海從2000年代初至今縮水了好幾倍；澳洲的Yellabinna是如何被數十年的叢林大火摧殘。我們也可以同時看到奈比多、緬甸、杜拜和阿拉伯聯合大公國是如何在如同一夜之間造起城市，意指快速都市化的環境成本。 -deforestation: 森林開發 -intensified: 加劇、更加嚴重 -fraction: 極小的部分 -decade: 十年 -skyline: 天際線 ⭐“These kinds of poignant visuals play a really important role in the environmental movement. I think a lot about the ‘Earthrise’ image the Apollo 8 crew took in 1968, with the earth rising over the lunar horizon—people often credit that as a catalyst of the modern environmental movement, because we suddenly [grasped] the fragility and preciousness of the planet. We think about TimeLapse as having a similar power to educate, inspire, and show people visually what’s been happening on our planet. 「這些動人的圖片在環境保護運動中扮演了重要的角色。我經常在想阿波羅八號太空人在1968年拍的地球升起圖，圖中的地球從月亮的地平線緩緩升起-這張圖經常被視為現代環境保護運動的催化劑，因為我們瞬間體會到地球的脆弱和可貴。我們相信縮影攝影也有具備相同的力量，可以教育、啟發和提供大眾一個具體的圖片，讓大家了解地球經歷的那些事。」 -poignant: 動人的 -lunar: 與月亮相關的 -credit (v):歸功於 -catalyst: 催化劑
