Parson Malthus predicted mass starvation 250 years ago, as the population was growing geometrically, doubling each generation, while agricultural production was going arithmetically, by 2 percent or so a year.

The writing, however, is lackluster; melodramatic without being truly exciting, and very few of the many characters Mortenson meets come to life, although the cultural details can be intriguing- the book's title comes from a local proverb that 'The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger.

不过文笔沉闷呆板；带有戏剧性的传奇色彩，但并非激动人心，莫特森所遇许多人物中栩栩如生的屈指可数，但是文化细节引人入胜——书名来自当地谚语第一次跟巴尔蒂人喝茶的时候，你是陌生人。

As a result, it integrated incense with beauty.The long-standing and well established Chinese culture, after the Japanese developed it into Japanese incense culture, has become the most important social activity in the Japanese beau monde today.There are a few researches about the incense and its industry. Besides, not only the minority circulation about the industry or research of the incense culture of the product among the workshops deviates from the orthodox incense cultural spirit, but also it always focuses on the raw materials of the incense only.

但如此源远流长之中华文化传至日本后发展为日本香道，成为今日日本上流社会中最重要的社交活动，但在我国社会竟未被彰显，大众对於香的意义探讨上多只直接联想到祭祀功能，关於香或香产业的研究实在屈指可数；而坊间少数流通关於品香文化之产业或研究，不是背离正统香道文化精神，就是多只著墨於香料之探讨研究。

And although while they simulate piety they are not of the Church, yet they are considered to be in the Church, just as traitors in a state are numbered among its citizens before they are discovered; and as the tares or darnel and chaff are found among the wheat, and as swellings and tumors are found in a sound body, when they are rather diseases and deformities than true members of the body.

虽然他们在模拟的虔诚，他们是不是教会，但他们却认为是在教会，正如叛徒，在一个国家已经屈指可数，其公民在他们所发现的，并且随著tares或darnel和箔条发现其中小麦，并作为肿胀和肿瘤被发现在一个健全的身体，当他们，而不是疾病和畸形，比真正的机构成员。

I use an example quoted by Hu Jiaqi:"It is reported that America separates the DNA of a kind of virus by making use of genetic technology and combines it with another kind of DNA. Finally, they get a kind of virulent biological agent called a "pyrotoxin". Someone discloses in private that 20 grams of such a kind of biological agent could result in the global death of 6 billion people due to infection."

我在这里例举胡家奇所引用过的例子："据报道，美国利用转基因技术，将一种病毒的DNA分离出来，与另外一种DNA进行结合，拼结成一种剧毒的"热毒素"生物战剂，且私下有人透露，这种生物战剂只需20克，就可以导致全球60亿人全部感染死亡。"
