有一次，大约四年前， 我参加了大维·柯本那哇起草的宣言， 他是位有智慧的亚诺马米族代表， 宣言的内容大致是这样：
161.”Doesn’t the white man know that, if he destroys the forest, there will be no more rain?
「难道白人不知道 如果他毁掉了森林，就不再有雨？
162.And that, if there’s no more rain, there’ll be nothing to drink, or to eat?”

164.I’ve been studying this for 20 years, with a super computer, dozens, thousands of scientists, and we are starting to get to this conclusion, which he already knows!”

172.I said, “Gosh!
我说：「天啊！
173.Why am I doing all this science to get to a conclusion that he already knows?”
