程度副詞

嘿，三角形鮑勃，你怎麼這麼小隻。

你是不是又動我的縮小光線了？

I see now that you totally did, judging by the looks of this room.

看這房間的樣子，我現在明白了，你絕對有。

Hey, Animator, any chance we could resize Triangle Bob?

嘿，動畫師，有沒有辦法幫三角形鮑勃調整大小啊？

Itty Bitty Bob here has me thinking of a fun video idea.

小小鮑勃讓我想到一個有趣的影片點子。

What's the smallest size humans have ever been?

人類有史以來最小的身材是多小？

And how would it impact our world if humans were smaller?

如果人類變小，對我們的世界會有什麼影響？

Time to go on a journey through the land of human heights.

Welcome to Life Noggin First Station, Neanderthals.

歡迎來到 Life Noggin 第一站，尼安德塔人。

These stubby folks stood about 5ft 5 inches tall and roamed around from 400,000 to 40,000 years ago.

這些矮壯的族群身高約 5 呎 5 吋，活躍於 40 萬年前到 4 萬年前。

Then we've got Homo floresiensis at just 3ft 6 inches tall.

接著是佛羅勒斯人，身高僅 3 呎 6 吋。

When it comes to modern folks, the Pygmies of Central Africa stand at around 4ft 11 inches.

至於現代人，中非的皮吉米人身高約 4 呎 11 吋。

Compare that to the European guys 10,000 years ago who averaged 54ft 4 inches, a good 5 inches shorter than today.

跟一萬年前的歐洲人比起來，他們平均身高是 5 呎 4 吋，比現在矮了 5 吋。

Much taller than our Itty Bitty Bob here.

The average height for a little person or person of short stature is 4ft.

身材矮小症患者或身材矮小的人，平均身高是 4 呎。

While the shortest person ever recorded was a Nepalese man named Chandra, measuring 1 foot 9 and a half inches.

而有紀錄以來最矮的人是一位名叫 Chandra 的尼泊爾男子，身高是 1 呎 9.5 吋。

An Iranian man named Afshin is the shortest person alive today, standing at 2ft 2 inches tall.

一位名叫 Afshin 的伊朗男子是目前在世最矮的人，身高 2 呎 2 吋。

是什麼造成了這些身高差異呢？

On one hand, poor nutrition can stunt growth, but

一方面，營養不良會抑制生長，但

by limiting energy and protein necessary for cell development and by causing deficiencies in essential micronutrients required for various growth functions.

這是因為限制了細胞發育所需的能量和蛋白質，並造成了維持各種生長功能所需的微量營養素缺乏。

But another reason for some of these smaller heights are short stature disorders.

但造成一些人身材矮小的另一個原因，是身材矮小症。

They're usually caused by genetic or hormonal factors that alter a person's development and bone growth.

這些通常是由基因或荷爾蒙因素引起的，這些因素會改變一個人的發育和骨骼生長。

Achondroplasia is one of the most common forms of a short stature disorder, accounting for 70% of cases.

軟骨發育不全是身材矮小症最常見的一種，佔了 70% 的病例。

This genetic mutation affects the growth of cartilage in the bones of a person's arms and legs, resulting in a larger head in proportion to the rest of the body and shorter limbs.

這種基因突變會影響人四肢骨骼中軟骨的生長，導致頭部與身體其他部位相比顯得較大，四肢較短。

So how would life look if humans were smaller now?

那麼，如果人類現在變小了，生活會是什麼樣子呢？

Well, the average human is 56 for a male and 52 for a female.

嗯，男性平均身高是 56 英吋，女性是 52 英吋。

Everyone being just a little smaller might have some impact.

每個人都稍微小一點，可能會有些影響。

Currently, you humans need about 25 to 30 calories per kilogram of body weight to maintain your weight.

目前，你們人類每公斤體重需要大約 25 到 30 卡路里來維持體重。

But if human bodies were smaller and needed less food to fuel their diminutive daily activities, it would mean less food production is needed, and

但如果人體變小了，需要更少的食物來供應牠們日常渺小的活動，這意味著需要的食物生產就更少，

that would lead to fewer carbon emissions.

The present food system is responsible for approximately 26% of worldwide greenhouse emissions, encompassing various stages like agriculture, packaging, and

目前的糧食系統約佔全球溫室氣體排放的 26%，涵蓋了農業、包裝和

Reducing the size of individuals might also result in decreased emissions, particularly in transport, which currently accounts for a significant 16% of total emissions.

將個人縮小，也可能減少排放，特別是運輸方面，目前佔總排放量的 16%。

Car manufacturers have already started producing lighter vehicles to enhance fuel efficiency and lower emissions, so applying the same principle to humans could yield similar benefits.

汽車製造商已經開始生產更輕的車輛來提高燃油效率並降低排放，所以將相同的原則應用到人類身上，也能帶來類似的好處。

But to all my short kings out there, you're beautiful just the way you are.

但對於所有身材矮小的男性們，你們本身就很美了。

Itty bitty Bob, you are beautiful the way you are right now.

小小鮑勃，你現在的樣子就很美。

But you want to probably go back to how you were.

但你可能還是想回到原本的樣子。

After a few adjustments on my patent pending Resize erator, it's time to fix Triangle Bob.

在我專利申請中的「調整大小機」做了一些調整後，是時候來修復三角形鮑勃了。

I'll just keep firing until he looks a bit better, okay?

我會一直開著，直到他看起來好一點點，好嗎？

Oh, after running some polls, it seemed like our audience really wants us to focus on science videos about movies and games.

所以，在做了一些民意調查後，看來我們的觀眾真的很想讓我們多做一些關於電影和遊戲的科學影片。

所以請在下面的留言區告訴我。

Right now, what is your favorite all time game and favorite all time movie?

現在，你最喜歡的遊戲和最喜歡的電影是什麼呢？

Do you think that it would make for a fun Life Noggin video?

你覺得這會是一個有趣的 Life Noggin 影片嗎？

Let's see the Life Noggin audience's taste, shall we?

讓我們來看看 Life Noggin 觀眾的品味吧，好嗎？
