But have we really ushered in a new geological era, the so-called Anthropocene?
但是,我们真的迎来了一个新的地质时代,所谓的“人类世”吗?
Rather than placing us still in the Holocene, a peculiarly stable era that began only around 10, 000 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。
