And where better to start than the most tectonically active place on the planet?

还有比球上构造活动最活跃的方更好的起点吗？

This is because tectonic plates on our planet repeatedly recycle the surface, burying evidence from before the time life formed.

这是因为球上的构造板块在球表面反复循环，掩埋了生命形成之前的证据。

This type of rock forms in abundance on Earth only thanks to our planet's liquid water and active plate tectonics; the moon lacks both.

这种岩石在球上大量存在，完全益于们星球上的液态水和活跃的板块构造；而月球上则缺乏这两样东西。

And my mind keeps flitting back to this parallel construction of these circuits were built in infancy and childhood and adolescence.

而的思绪不断回到这样一个平行构造上：这些电路是在婴儿期、童年期和青春期建立起来的。

We think plate tectonics may have been really important for life on Earth, for the evolution of complex life on Earth.

们认为板块构造可能对球上的生命，特别是复杂生命的进化起到了非常重要的作用。

And we read on here, that's valuable considering that within the park are Southeast Asia's oldest mountain formations and one of the world's oldest rainforests.

们继续读到这里，考虑到公园内拥有东南亚最古老的山脉构造和世界上最古老的雨林之一，这一点为珍贵。

Luckily for me, I recently teamed up with my friends from Howtown on an episode for their channel all about plate tectonics.

幸运的是，最近与Howtown的朋友们合作，在他们专注于板块构造的频道上共同制作了一集节目。

And that on some early geological formation that was later erased by time, they migrated first into Asia and then finally into Europe.

在某些早期质构造上，这些生物首先迁移到了亚洲， 随后最终迁徙至欧洲， 然而这些痕迹随着时间的推移已被抹去。

Iceland sits on a tectonic plate boundary that continually splits apart, pushing North America and Eurasia away from each other along the line of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

冰岛位于不断分裂的构造板块边界上，沿着大西洋中脊线将北美和欧亚大陆分开。

Now, Iceland sits on a tectonic plate boundary between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, and that plate continually splits farther apart, pushing North America and Europe farther apart.

现在，冰岛位于北大西洋和北冰洋之间的构造板块边界上，该板块不断分裂，将北美和欧洲推越来越远。

With the end finished product there's no difference between a human construction and a robotic construction except the robotic construction is overall a little more accurate.

对于最终成品，人工构造和机器人构造之间没有区别，只是机器人构造总体上更准确一些。

On this orange, I've split the peel into different pieces, each of which can move independently, just as the tectonic plates are arranged on the Earth.

在这个橘子上，把果皮分成不同的部分，每个部分都可以独立移动，就像球上的构造板块一样。

On the placid, plateless moon there is no such mechanism and it has been easy to assume that basalt is for the most part all the planet has to offer.

在平静且没有板块构造的月球上，不存在这样的机制，因此很容易认为玄武岩就是这颗星球所能提供的全部。

Don't let us hamper ourselves by despising those brains comparable in volume, as well as in construction, to wrens' eggs, but let us at once enter fully into the object of our conference.

不要让们轻视那些在体积和构造上与鹪鹩蛋相当的大脑而束缚自己，而是让们立即完全进入们会议的目标。

Instead, their brains might be the limiting factor after all – even though the physical pieces are mostly in place, their neural circuitry just doesn’t give them the fine level of control they need to mimic human language.

相反，他们的大脑可能是真正的限制因素——尽管身体上的构造基本到位，但他们的神经回路并没有提供足够精细的控制， 使它们能够模仿人类语言。
