And more and more of them every single day. 但是我是非常有限的，而人类的数量却每天都在增长。 I start as rain in the mountains flow to the rivers and streams. And end up in the ocean. 我化身为雨水落入山中，流进小溪与河流并最终汇入海洋。 Then the cycle begins again. 然后循环再次开始。 And it will take me 10,000 years to get back to the state I am in now. 要回到我现在的状态需要一万年。 But to humans? I&`&m just water. Just there. 然而对于人类来说，我只是水，理所当然就在那里。 Where will humans find me when there are billions more of them around? 如果人口再增加几十亿，人类还能找到我吗？ Where will they find themselves? 他们自己又将如何生存？ Will they wage wars over me? 他们会为了我而发动战争吗？ Like they do over everything else? 就像他们为了其他事而做的那样？ That&`&s always an option.

Now gone forever. 有时候，我付出了全部。现在一切不复返。 But humans, they&`&re so smart. So smart. 但人类啊，他们真的很聪明，真的很聪明。 Such big brains and opposable thumbs. 这么智慧的大脑，灵巧的双手。 They know how to make things. Amazing things. 他们善于创造，了不起的创造。 Now, why would they need an old forest like me anymore? 现在，他们还需要我这片古老的森林做什么呢？ Jungles? Trees? Well, they do breathe air. 需要我的丛林还是树木？对了，他们总得呼吸吧。 And I make air. 而我制造了氧气。 Have they thought about that? 他们意识到这件事了吗？ Humans, so smart. They&`&ll figure it out. 人类，这么聪明。他们会想出办法的。 Humans making air.
