anthropocene

" Anthropocene geology " is the best science to the general .

“人类世地质学”即是这种科学走向的最好概括。

The vote saw 29 members of the AWG support not only the new Anthropocene designation but also a favored start date - the mid-twentieth century .

在这次投票中，29名AWG成员不仅支持新的人类世命名，而且还支持以20世纪中期作为人类世的开始。

We enter the Anthropocene , the era of human beings .

我们迎来了人类纪，即人类的纪元。

This idea that we 've entered a new Anthropocene epic was first proposed in 2002 .

我们进入人类世的这种说法第一次是在2002年提出。

And one of the messages of the Anthropocene is that piecemeal actions can quickly add up to planetary change .

人类纪传达出的一个信息即是：人类的琐碎行为加起来就能很快使地球发生改变。

We 're now living in the Anthropocene epoch .

我们如今正生活在“人类世”纪元。

Whatever the case , the human influence on the world has become overwhelming and it 's high time to take responsibility for nature in this Anthropocene . - David Biello

无论如何，人类对世界的影响已经变得无处不在，是时候在这个人类时代承担责任了。

The challenge of the Anthropocene is to use human ingenuity to set things up so that the planet can accomplish its 21st-century task .

人类纪的挑战在于运用人类智慧让地球能够完成21世纪的任务。

Mismanagement of water resources is a hallmark of this new human-dominated era in the Earth 's geologic history , known as the Anthropocene .

水资源的管理不善是地球地质历史（称作人类纪）上新人类统治时代的一个标志。

It 'll be future researchers who have better perspective and will be able to really draw a line between the Holocene and the Anthropocene epics .

但是将来的研究人员会有更好的视角并能将全新世与人类世划分开来。

Many scientists feel that human interference in the way the earth works is now so great that the Holocene is history and a truly separate Anthropocene has dawned .

许多科学家感到人类对地球的影响巨大，全新世已经成为过去，一个真正独立的地质年代人类世已经开始。

And that 's the kind of techno-fossil that may prove to be a hallmark of the Anthropocene age , this time of humanity shaping the planet .

而就是这种技术导致的化石类物质也许能作为地球人类时代存在过的标记，我们人类影响着自己所生活的这颗星球。

Although the technologies are still nascent , the idea that humans might help remove carbon from the skies as well as put it there is a reasonable Anthropocene expectation ;

尽管技术尚不成熟，人类可能从天空去除碳，也能将碳放到天空这一想法可能是合理的人类纪展望。

The 11700-year-old geological Holocene epoch has ended , scientists say , and we 're now living in the Anthropocene : an era defined by humanity 's influence on the world around us .

如今，地质学界打算用地质术语来确认这些影响。科学家表示，长达11700年的全新世已结束，我们现在正生活在“人类世”：即人类活动对地球施加影响的时代。

The panel outlined ten golden spike candidates , which could be used to differentiate the Holocene from the Anthropocene , including a cave in northern Italy and a lake in China .

该小组列出了十个金钉候选地点，它们可以用来区分全新世和人类世，包括意大利北部的一个洞穴和中国的一个湖泊。

Now there is growing evidence that the presence of humans has altered the earth so much that a new epic of geologic history has begun-the Anthropocene epic , a new human-influenced epic .

现在有越来越多的证据显示人类的存在已经很大程度上的改变了地球，以至于开始了地质历史的一个新纪元-人类世，一个全新的人类主导的时期。

Although farms have changed the world for millennia , the Anthropocene advent of fossil fuels , scientific breeding and , most of all , artificial nitrogen fertiliser has vastly increased agriculture 's power .

尽管农业改变世界已有千年历史，人类纪出现的化石燃料、科学繁殖以及最重要的人工氮肥极大地加大了农业的力量。

Rather than placing us still in the Holocene , a peculiarly stable era that began only around 10000 years ago , the geologists say we are already living in the Anthropocene : the age of man .

地质学家们称，我们已经生活在人类纪——人的时代，而不是仍将人类放在约1000年前开始的特别稳定的年代——全新世。

Last week , a panel of scientists voted in favor of classifying the age we are living in as a new geological epoch - the " Anthropocene " - after reviewing available evidence on the issue .

上周，一组科学家在审阅了现有证据之后，投票赞成将我们所处的时代划分为一个新的地质时代——人类世。

The Anthropocene is different . It is one of those moments where a scientific realisation , like Copernicus grasping that the Earth goes round the sun , could fundamentally change people 's view of things far beyond science .

人类纪就不一样了，像哥白尼掌握了地球围绕太阳运转那样，它是科学认识可以从根本上改变人们对远远超乎科学事物看法的时刻。

What is clear is that the impact of extinction reverberates down through the millennia , a clear signal that we 've been living in the Anthropocene for a while . - David Biello

现在很清楚的是，经过了数千年之后，这些大型动物灭亡带来的影响正在减弱，我们已经在人类纪生活了有段时间了。

on our species ' impact on the planet . " The Anthropocene works as a geological unit of time , process and strata , " Zalasiewicz told Nature.com . " It is distinguishable . It is distinctive . "

扎拉塞维奇告诉自然杂志网站说：“人类世是时间、过程和地层的地质单位。它是可辨别的，也是独特的。”

But the 34-member Anthropocene Working Group ( AWG ) chaired by Jan Zalasiewicz , of the University of Leicester in the UK , decided that humans are having such a profound impact on our planet that the term is a valid one , Nature.com reported .

据自然杂志网站报道，人类世工作组（AWG）确定，人类对地球产生了如此深远的影响，这一说法是有理有据的。人类世工作组由英国莱斯特大学的简·扎拉塞维奇担任主席，共有34名成员。

Now that the vote has been done , we 'll see a few years of site sampling to figure out the best Global Standard Stratigraphic Age ( GSSA ) to date the start of the Anthropocene , which will then be presented to the International Commission on Stratigraphy .

纪元变更的投票结束后，工作组在未来几年会利用现场勘测数据计算出最佳的全球标准低层年龄（GSSA），并确定“人类世”的开始日期，届时会把研究结果呈递国际地层委员会。

Most scientists who support the Anthropocene designation favor the later start date , and the AWG panel agreed based on the fact that rapid population growth and industrialization in the mid-twentieth century - which led to greater natural resource use and greenhouse gas emissions - mark a " Great Acceleration "

大多数支持人类世命名的科学家更倾向于以1945年为起点。由于20世纪中叶人口的快速增长及工业化消耗了更多的自然资源并产生了更多的温室气体，标志着人类对地球物种的影响“大加速”，AWG支持这一起始时间。
