83. The intelligent biologist and athletic mountain climber were on a voyage to reach the peak where they would use their abacus to collect statistics for mathematics biology and ecology experiments in a new climate.

这位聪明的生家和健壮的登山队员处于攀向峰顶的途中，在那儿（峰顶）他们将使用算盘，为在新气候下的数生和生态实验收数据。

When you consider all of this the obvious conclusion is biologically and mathematically speaking, giant long-lived animals like elephants should have all the cancer.

当考虑所有这些，显而易见的结论是从生和数上讲，像大象这样的巨型长寿动应该患有所有癌症。

But mathematical biology is also useful for describing things we can't see.

但是数生在描述我们看不见的东西也很有用。

Why should we care about what mathematics describes in biology?

为什么我们要关心数在生中描述了什么？

What do you say when people ask, why should we care about math in biology?

当有人问为什么我们应该关注生中的数，会怎么说？

All of these are biological problems where mathematical models can help describe and predict what we see in real life.

所有这些都是生问题，数模型可以帮助描述和预测我们在现实生活中看到的东西。

And they started to wonder: Creating biological patterns using mathematics may work on paper, or inside of computers.

用数创造生图案也许在纸上是可行的，或者在电脑里也是可行的。

How arbitrary do you think our mathematical perspective is, as humans on earth?

认为作为地球上的生，我们的数视角有多任意？

I'm joined now by Professor Kit Yates from the Centre for Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath to sense check those numbers.

现在，我请来了巴斯大数生中心的Kit Yates教授，来验证这些数据。

The preexistence of the mathematical biochemical equation is the manifestation of rock, plant, air, fire, and water, which are in a basic formation.

数生化方程的先在性，体现了岩石、植、空气、火焰与水这些基本元素的原始构成。

Thus, Spinoza reduced the biological to the mathematical.

因此, 斯宾诺莎将生简化为数。

College counselor: All students have to take the prerequisite classes such as biology, math, English, history. I also strongly encourage you to take a foreign language class.

大辅导员：所有生都必须修读诸如生、数、英语、历史等先修课程。同，我强烈建议选修一门外语课。
