Biomimicry 仿生学
Wandering along the waterfront lane in our botanical park, you are bound to resign yourself to enjoying the beauty and purity of nature. Dragonflies land atop open lotus flowers; mulberry trees bow beneath decent amount of fruit; algae grow and spread in the pond. Most people take these plants and animals for granted without realizing how humanity have taken inspiration from them.
This approach, called biomimicry, imitates nature’s designs to seek solutions to human problems. By imitating the wings of a dragonfly, for example, small drones can fly agilely. By mimicing the way spider silk works, people created water-proof swimsuits. Inspired by bats’ echo-location, scientists improved radar, which is currently employed by physicians in evaluating patients’ livers, kidneys and lungs.
The building in our park is also credited with being a superb example of biomimicry. Superficially, it’s merely a rough cottage in rural areas. Actually, we employed architect in architecture frontier to construct it. The tiles on its roof are shaped to resemble the surface of a pine cone. Its plumbing system is identified with that of a termite mound. Its walls are covered in panels that contain algae, which can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Withdrawing from depressive contemporary life and drawing wisdom from nature is a must for all citizens. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in our botanical park, where you can live deliberately, sow vegetables and feed domestic animals, being at ease with nature and attaining personal well-being and fulfilment. Personally, it takes considerable efforts to reject the park’s attraction and once you come, it won’t be minutes before you become reluctant to depart.
二、核对译文
沿本植物园的滨水小路漫步,你定会安于欣赏自然的美丽和纯洁。蜻蜓落在盛开的荷花顶上,桑树被相当数量的果实压弯了腰,水塘中水藻滋蔓。大多数人认为这些动植物都是理所当然,意识不到人类是如何从它们身上获得灵感的。
这种被叫做仿生学的方法通过模仿大自然的设计以寻求解决人类问题。例如,通过模仿蜻蜓的翅膀,小型无人机能够敏捷地飞行。通过模仿蜘蛛丝的工作原理,人们创造出了防水泳衣。在蝙蝠回声定位的启发下,科学家们改进了雷达,这种新设备被内科医生应用于评估病人的肝,肾和肺。
作为极佳的仿生学范例,本园中的建筑十分出名。从表面上看,它只不过是一座简陋的农村木屋。事实上,我们聘用了建筑前沿的建筑师来建造它。屋顶上瓦片的形状跟松球表面完全一样;木屋的排水系统被认为等同于白蚁蚁丘的;木屋的墙壁覆盖着含有水藻的嵌板,这种水藻能把二氧化碳转化为氧气。
从令人抑郁的当代生活中抽身并从自然中汲取智慧是所有市民的必做事项。本植物园最能说明这一点。在这里你能不慌不忙地生活,种植蔬菜,喂养家畜,与自然放松悠闲地相处,获得个人幸福和满足。在我看来,需要耗费巨大的努力才能拒绝本园的吸引力,并且一旦你来了,用不了几分钟你就不愿意离开了。
