英语翻译
Feeling blue about the world?“Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley.“The world has never been a better place to live in,and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”
　　Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational,because he's carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic,because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good.And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book,The Rational Optimist.He views mankind as a grand enterprise that,on the whole,has done little but progress for 100,000 years.He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.
　　Here's how he explains his views.
　　1 ) Shopping fuels invention
　　It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone.Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty,our own generation has access to more nutritious food,more convenient transport,bigger houses,better cars,and,of course,more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things.The more we specialize and exchange,the better off we'll be.
　　2) Brilliant advances
　　One reason we are richer,healthier,taller,cleverer,longer?lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food,clothing,fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper.Take one example.In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work.In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for.In 1950 it was eight seconds.Today it's half second.
　　3 ) Let's not kill ourselves for climate change
　　Mitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village,where the use of fossil?fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well?meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world,is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change.If climate change proves to be mild,but cutting carbon causes real pain,we may well find that we have stopped a nose?bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.

感觉蓝色的世界?“振作起来.”科普作家马特·里德利说.“世界上还从来没有生活在一个更好的地方,它将继续对人类和自然的更好.”
雷德利要求自己一个合理的理性的乐观主义者,因为他仔细衡量证据;乐观,因为证据显示人类的进步是不可避免的,良好的.这是他证明在他最近的一本书,理性的乐观主义者的观点的独特之处.他认为人类作为一个大企业,总体上,做了10万年的不多,但进展.他支持他的研究结果,通过多年的研究,收集确凿的事实.
下面是他如何解释他的观点.
1）购物燃料发明
据悉,仅在伦敦销售不同的产品有超过10亿.即使允许许多人仍生活在贫困中的人,我们这一代更富有营养的食物,更方便的交通,更大的房子,更好的车,和,当然,更多的英镑和美元摆在我们面前的生活比任何人访问.这将继续只要我们用这些东西做其他的事情.越多,我们的专业和交流,我们会更好.
2）辉煌的进步
之前,我们更丰富,更健康,更高,更聪明,不再?和生活比以往任何时候都更自由的原因之一是四个最基本的人类需求的食品,服装,燃料和住房已经长大了不少便宜.举一个例子.一个小时的蜡烛光在1800年花费6个小时的工作.从油灯的光在1880年花了15分钟的工作来支付.1950年,它是8秒.今天,它是半秒钟.
3）我们不杀自己对气候变化
缓解（减轻）气候变化可能证明正如损害人类福利气候改变自己的.一个孩子死在一个小村庄,从室内烟雾使用的化石?燃料（化石燃料）电力被禁止?绿色政治运动,试图拯救世界的意义,只是作为一个伟大的悲剧由气候变化引起的洪水中死亡的孩子.如果气候变化证明是温和的,但切割碳造成真正的痛苦,我们可以发现,我们已经停止了鼻子?出血止血带（止血带）把我们的脖子周围.
