轉承詞

We talk about inventions and innovation as though the best things out there are the Internet, iPads, or smart phones.

當我們談到發明和創新的時候好像世上最棒的發明就是網路、 iPad 或是智慧型手機

情態副詞

Which one has had the most impact on society?

Well, some would say, "Nope, not really, it's farming."

有些人會說：「錯，答案是農耕」

如果沒有農耕 我們現在會在哪裡?

That's right, farming is the seed of civilization.

Not quite literally, but without early man's discovery

也不完全是啦，但如果前人沒有發現

we wouldn't have much of anything we have today.

Growing your own food changed everything.

Sure, hunting and gathering worked just fine

But when hunters and gatherers started planting seeds,

一旦獵人和採集食物的人開始耕種

even if it's planting a half dozen tomato plants in your backyard,

In other words, not everyone needed to be farmers.

Farming and food surpluses led to the division of labor.

農耕加上多餘的食物帶來了分工

But with so many people contributing to the community,

But, civilization is just that - advanced, complex societies.

不過文明發展就是這樣 有許多進步，複雜的聚落

And without farming, they would not exist.

Cities are just one of the basic features of a civilization,

urban planning of roads, bridges, and public works,

Developing expertise in various types of occupations

allowed for innovative ways of doing things,

led to the growth of things we readily use today,

So without farming, we'd still be hunting and gathering.

所以，沒有農耕 我們現在還得打獵採集
