So you have heard many of life's curiosities, but did you know that cashews grow on apples?

你或許聽說過很多生活中的奇聞趣事，但你知道腰果其實長在蘋果上嗎？

情態副詞

In this case the apple is simply an accessory fruit, with the cashew growing on top.

在這種情況下，蘋果其實只單純是長在腰果下方的一個附屬水果而已。

基礎被動語態

Trees, they actually grow out of the air, not the ground.

樹其實是從空氣中，而不是從地上長出來的。

Though they receive some minerals from the soil, the carbon dioxide from air goes into the tree and with the help of the sun removes the oxygen.

雖然它們會從土壤中吸收一些礦物質，但空氣中的二氧化碳會被吸進樹木裡，然後在太陽的幫助下去除掉氧氣的部分。

This carbon is left with water to create the substance of the tree.

留下來的碳與水一起共同形成了樹的實際物質部分。

And yet the number of synapses in your brains' cerebral cortex alone, about one hundred and twenty five trillion, is the amount of stars that would fill 1500 milky way galaxies.

But an atom is around 99.99% empty space, making everything in the universe mostly nothing.

但一個原子中大約有 99.99% 的部分是空的，而這使得宇宙中的萬物大多都都是空的。

Including your body, which by the way, is constantly replacing its cells.

這也包括你的身體。順帶一提，你的身體會不斷地更換細胞。

So much so, that every 10 years your entire body has replaced itself.

以至於每隔 10 年，整個身體的細胞就會全數更換一次。

Every atom in your body is different now, meaning you have no more in common with your previous self than any other human being that has lived or will ever live.

你身體裡的每個原子都不一樣了。也就是說，你與以前的自己之間的差異，其實和曾經活著的另一個人或即將出生的另一個人差不多。

All the while, there are more bacteria cells in your body than actual somatic body cells.

於此同時，你體內的細菌細胞比實際的體細胞還要多。

And if you've made it to age 18, you have, on average, 3200 to 3500 weekends left in your lifetime.

從時間上看，霸王龍距離現在，比劍龍還在地球上漫遊時更近。

To the same token, Cleopatra lived closer to the first moon landing than to the construction of the pyramids.

同樣的道理，埃及豔后還活著的年代比起金字塔建造的年代，距離人類首次登月的時間更近。

And just for fun, when I say it, you are now breathing manually.

單純好玩想鬧你一下，當我這麼說的時候，你會忍不出開始有意識地呼吸。
