  • Hey everybody! Welcome to The Brain Scoop.

    嘿,大家好!歡迎來到 The Brain Scoop 。

  • Today I'm gonna answer some questions about what my favorite things are,

    今天我會回答一些有關我最喜歡的東西的問題

  • because in Ask Emily episodes you ask me a lot of what my favorites are and I didn't know.

    因為在「艾蜜莉問答」裡你們問了我很多有關我喜歡的東西可是我不知道

  • But now I do.

    現在我知道了

  • When I visited the paleobotanical collection, the collection's manager, Ian Glasspool, showed me a vial of ash,

    Erin,@familiarwldrnss 問: 你個人覺得最寶貴的博物館收藏是什麼?

  • which happened to be the first known evidence of a fire ever burning on the planet

    當我參觀古植物學收藏時,收藏管理員伊恩·格拉斯普給我看了一小瓶灰燼,

  • meaning that some 419 million years ago, when photosynthetic bacteria was forming into a kind of fungus,

    這些灰正好是火在這個星球上第一次燃燒的證據——

  • it caught on fire and we have the physical evidence of that event happening.

    這表示說大約在4.19億年前,當光合細菌形成某種真菌,

  • The idea that we can trace such a significant event back to the physical evidence of its happening

    然後它著火了,而我們有這件事發生的實物證據。

  • opened up my mind to the possibility that we can potentially answer any question conceivable of mankind.

    我們可以追踪像這樣重要事件到它實際發生的實物證據的想法

  • Sauropods! Especially Amphicoelias, which was an enormous dinosaur

    讓我覺得我們有可能回答人類所有可以想像的任何問題

  • only known from a handful of fossils that were found and described in the 1870s before being accidentally misplaced.

    thundertwig 問: 你最喜歡的恐龍是什麼?

  • If this animal were to have existed, it could have been up to 60 meters, or 200 feet, long,

    蜥腳類(Sauropods)!尤其是雙腔龍(Amphicoelias),一種巨大的恐龍

  • which seems a little ridiculous that we wouldn't be able to find more evidence of it

    我們只從少數在1970年代發現的化石中描述過這種恐龍,接著不小心的被遺失了。

  • considering it was about the length of five and a half school buses put together end-to-end.

    如果這種動物真的存在過,它可以高達60公尺或是200英尺長,

  • Somebody just turned the lights off.

    這似乎有點可笑說我們找不到更多的證據

  • It's hard to beat insect adaptationslike how the bombardier beetle can fire out a cocktail of catalytic compounds in defense against predators.

    因為它的長度跟5.5輛校車放在一起一樣長

  • This vaporic acid comes spewing out of its rear end at about 100°C, or 212°F.

    有人把燈關掉了

  • Take that.

    Tobias Würzburger,@CrimsonWizard 問: 你有最喜歡的一種動物大絕招嗎?

  • I really enjoyed painting class with Mr. Gulbransen because he let me set up an easel in the back of the classroom

    很難有比昆蟲適應能力還要厲害的——像是放屁蟲(bombardier beetle)可以射出多種催化化合物來防禦掠食者。

  • and would tell me stories about how after college he lived in a tipi in Wyoming with his girlfriend.

    這種從它尾端射出蒸氣般的酸液可以達到約100℃,或是212°F。

  • He also helped me get a bunch of scholarships to go to school and had a huge positive impact on my life.

    接招吧

  • So thanks, Mr. G.

    kimchi-kimi 問: 你在高中時最喜歡的課是什麼?

  • I really enjoyed visiting the International Museum of Surgical Science here in Chicago. In addition to having a rare working iron lung on display,

    我真的很喜歡哥佈蘭森老師的繪畫課,因為他讓我在教室的後面架了一個畫架,

  • they also have 20th century recreation of an apothecary shop, and surgically removed kidney stones the size of your fist.

    還會跟我說他大學畢業後,他跟他女朋友在懷俄明州,住在一頂印第安帳篷的故事。

  • I could say it's access to amazing cultural and scientific institutions,

    他還幫我弄了一堆獎學金上學,還對我的生活產生巨大的正面影響。

  • but really it's grocery stores and their diverse selection and arcade bars where I can attempt to overcome my insatiable desire for pinball.

    所以說謝啦,哥老師。

  • That would have to be around 4.4 million years ago when early hominids stood upright and became bipedal.

    lecieltumultueux 問: 有哪些博物館是你最喜歡參觀或拜訪的呢?

  • And whether that was for freeing our arms for food- and baby-carrying purposes, wading through marshy bogs,

    我很喜歡參觀芝加哥的國際外科醫學博物館(International Museum of Surgical Science)。他們除了有展示一個非常難得還會動的鐵肺,

  • or in order to cross large distances more efficiently, perhaps it was for dancing,

    他們還有一間20世紀重建的藥劑師店和手術切除、跟你的拳頭一樣大的腎結石。

  • or the romantic notion that we wanted to walk hand-in-hand with our brethren.

    thatbelle 問: 除了博物館之外,你到目前為止還最喜歡芝加哥的什麼?

  • For whatever reason, it was a good thing we did, because now we can do so much more.

    我會說可以獲得令人讚嘆的文化和科學機構

  • Bacon.

    但說真的是它的有超多重選擇的雜貨店,還有街機遊樂場,在那裡我可以嘗試去克服自己對彈珠檯得寸進尺的的渴望。

  • I mean, the uterus as an in-house developmental baby-making factory is pretty remarkable.

    slinkspangspoink 問: 你好!你最喜歡人類進化的哪一個階段呢?

  • Probably the one where I started a Tumblr as a volunteer in a small university zoological collection

    那會是約於440萬年以前,當早期人類站起來走路,並成為兩足動物。

  • and it ended up resulting in a full-time job at a major institution. That was a good one.

    至於是為了空出我們的雙手於食物、和為了能攜帶嬰兒、涉水濕軟的沼澤、

  • Is that it exists at all.

    或為了更有效率地跨越更長的距離,也許是為了跳舞,

  • Probably that sloths have unique symbiotic relationships with certain species of algae

    或是非常浪漫的我們想和我們的弟兄手牽著手。

  • that are only found growing in the microcosmic environments of their hosts' fur.

    無論是出於什麼原因,我們做了一件很好的事情,因為這個現在我們可以做更多。

  • I mean - you guys are asking me to pick between some pretty major collections here at The Field Museum.

    fosdonut 問: 你最喜歡吃什麼動物?

  • We've got 3 million pinned beetles and that doesn't include the other 9 million specimens in the insect division.

    培根

  • We've hardly talked with Janet Voight about her work with deep-sea octopuses and other invertebrates,

    Thomas Nguyen 問: 在動物身體裡你最喜歡哪一個器官?

  • and let's not forget the major neglect to discuss molluscs on this show.

    我說,子宮作為一個內建的發育性嬰兒製造工廠還蠻厲害的耶。

  • Seriously, we need more mollusc love on The Brain Scoop.

    normalbiology 問: 什麼是你最喜歡的科學傳播經驗呢?

  • Diaphonization! Also known as clearing and staining, is a process in which a specimen is injected with enzymes that render the organs transparent.

    可能是有一次,我身為在一個小型大學動物學收藏館的志工,建了一個Tumblr部落格,

  • Then, it's submerged in a solution of dyes that either adhere to the skeleton or the muscular system,

    結果到最後讓我得到了一個在主要機構的全職工作。那經驗還不錯說。

  • resulting in a "see-through" animal with a highlighted mobility system.

    sophietheadventurer 問: 你覺得大自然最令人驚奇的是?

  • It is so cool.

    是它竟然存在

  • We got it? [Tom] We got it!

    fireeyedgirl 問: 你最喜歡樹懶的哪部分?

  • Bam! [Tom] Great.

    可能是樹懶和一些只能在它們毛裡
