And I would expect that, if our human civilization carries on, then maybe in the next century people will be asking, why on earth did these people today in the year 2003 not see the obvious things that they were doing and take corrective action?
我想，答案应该是这样的：假设我们的文明能够延续下去， 那么也许到了下一个世纪，那时的人们同样会好奇： 那帮生活在2003年的人怎么可能没有注意到 （注：2003年为此篇的演讲时间） 他们所犯下的如此明显的错误，他们怎么就不迷途知返？
