And there are other lifeforms called extremophiles, which can thrive in even harsher environments.

还有一种叫做“极端微”命形态，它们可以在更恶劣环境中茁壮成长。

So they took away the architecture, they kept the base of the artwork, and they built an entirely new, much more biomorphic architecture on top of that.

所以他们舍弃原先风格 保留作品底子，然后他们建造了一个全新，更具形态风格。

But thanks to billions of years of evolution we may already have a starting point in the unexpectedly biological form of bacteria.

不过多亏了数亿年来进化，我们可能已经站在了研究细菌全新形态起点。

Is it possible that a similar form of microbial life could still reside somewhere beneath the frozen surface of Mars?

这可能微命类似形态还在火星恶劣表面之下？

They were berry beings, but they're not real berries, right?

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to, because I guess, again, we're assuming aliens are these life form style creatures, and we're not finding them to your point, Neil, they're like coming to find us.

对，我就是想说这个，因为我想，再次强调，我们假设外星人是那种命体形态，但根据你观点，尼尔，实际上它们是来找我们。

One day, Regin told Sigurd the story of Otter's ransom, a pile of gold the Aesir gods paid to Regin's father, Rhaedmar, King of the Dwarves, as compensation for killing Regin's brother, Otter.

So sometimes a lure can look like a worm, or sometimes it can look like a fly, or it can look like a different number of small creatures.

因此，有时诱饵可能看起来像一条虫，有时则像一只苍蝇，又或者它可能模仿多种不同小形态。

What if you could trace a kind of evolution in those stories in much the same way that Charles Darwin has traced and evolution in physical, biological forms?

如果你能以查尔斯·达尔文追溯形态进化方式，追踪这些故事中某种演变脉络，怎样呢？

These were like worlds within worlds of microbiological gestalts which I found could then be further transcribed using my grid system to render more musical punch cards.

这些宛如微形态内在世界，我发现可以通过我网格系统进一步转录，转化为更具音乐性穿孔卡片。仿佛在一首歌中发现了隐藏旋律。

Prehistoric rock art in Africa and cave paintings in Europe are thought to represent ancient ritual practices, including the healer's transformation into a creature form.

非洲史前岩画和欧洲洞穴壁画被认为描绘了古代仪式实践，其中包括治疗者转化为某种形态过程。

The dark, high pressure abyssal reaches of the ocean produce probably the most alien  looking lifeforms out of any found on our world.

深海黑暗、高压区域孕育了可能看起来最不像地球命形态。

And so I say, if it's not flesh and blood, I believe that Bigfoot is a shape shifter.

因此，我要说，如果它不是血肉之躯，我相信大脚怪是一种能变换形态。

The unity of much of the morphogenesis of organisms from fertilized egg to adult began to be unraveled after the discovery of the homeobox genes, first in fruit flies, then in other insects and animals, including humans.

在同源盒基因发现之后，从受精卵到成虫体形态发一致性开始被解开。同源盒基因首先在果蝇中发现，然后在其他昆虫和动中发现，包括人类。

As we were saying before, I think the move from life to consciousness, the kinds of beings that would build what we would recognize as a civilization, that may be extraordinarily rare.

正如我们之前所讨论， 我认为从命到意识跃迁，以及那些能够构建出我们认知中文明形态种类，可能是极其罕见。

The serpent kept her word and gave those she transformed into humans a totem of the creature they had previously been, such as kangaroo, emu, and carpet snake.

蛇女遵守了诺言， 给予那些被她变成人类以它们原先形态图腾，比如袋鼠、鸸鹋和地毯蛇。
