预言大师史蒂芬·霍金再爆惊世言论！看看他都说了啥？
Will mankind leave Earth? Stephen Hawking warns the human race ’has no future if it doesn’t go to space’
双语新闻
Our days on Earth are numbered, according to Professor Stephen Hawking.
据史蒂芬·霍金教授表示，我们在地球上的日子是有限的。
The world-famous physicist has previously issued warnings to the world that robots could wipe out humanity and that leaving Earth is our only hope.
这位举世闻名的物理学家早前就向世界发出过警告，机器人可能会毁灭人类，离开地球是我们唯一的出路。
Now, in a new book, ’How to Make a Spaceship’, the physicist has warned our planet is becoming a dangerous place because of the threat of war or disease.
现在，霍金在一本名为《如何制造宇宙飞船》的新书上发出警告，由于战争或疾病威胁，我们的星球正在成为一个危险之地。
The book, written by journalist Julian Guthrie, contains an afterword by the physicist.
这本由记者朱利安·格思里写成的书籍其后记由霍金编写。
In an extract published in The Guardian, Professor Hawking describes his views on the future of space travel.
在发表在《卫报》上的一则摘录中，霍金教授陈述了他的未来太空旅行观。
’I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as a sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or other dangers,’ he said.
他表示，“我相信地球上的生命正处于一场被灾难灭绝的空前危机当中，例如一场突发的核战争、一种基因工程病毒或者是其他危险。”
’I think the human race has no future if it doesn’t go to space.’
“我认为人类若不走向太空就没有未来。”
Professor Hawking made similar comments earlier this year while recording the BBC’s annual Reith Lectures on January 7.
今年早些时候，霍金教授于1月7日在录制BBC年度里斯演讲时说过同样的话。
When asked how the world will end, Hawking said that increasingly, most of the threats humanity faces come from progress in technology.
当被问及世界是如何毁灭之时，霍金表示，人类面临的大多数威胁越来越来自于技术的进步。
The scientist, who turned 74 this year, said the threats include nuclear war, catastrophic global warming and genetically engineered viruses.
这位今年74岁的科学家表示，威胁包括核战争，灾难性的全球变暖和基因工程病毒。
’We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we must recognise the dangers and control them,’ he said.
“我们不打算停止进步或者是逆转进步，因此我们必须承认危险并且控制他们。”他表示。
To get away from these threats, humankind will have to colonise other planets, which Hawking believes will take more than a century.
为了远离这些威胁，人类将不得不殖民其他星球，霍金认为这需要100多年的时间。
