Now, as if this was not enough -- to just bend the curves and understanding the accelerated pressure on the planet -- we also have to recognize the fact that systems do have multiple stable states, separated by thresholds -- illustrated here by this ball and cup diagram, where the depth of the cup is the resilience of the system.
现在，仿佛这还不够-- 仅仅是改变曲线走向和了解到这颗星球上的急剧增加的压力-- 我们也要意识到一个事实 那就是系统有多种稳定状态， 在曲线上由一个个槛区分开来--我在这个用球杯图来表示， 杯子的深度代表了系统的适应能力。
