因果

The bold claims of Lamarck, Vernadsky, and Lovelock seem ludicrous at first, but in the calculus of lateral causality make fine sense: that all we can see around us -- the snow-covered Himalayas, the deep oceans east and west, vistas of rolling hills, awesome painted desert canyons, game-filled valleys -- are all as much the product of life as the honeycomb.

拉马克、沃尔纳德斯基还有洛夫洛克之流大胆的主张乍看起来似乎荒谬可笑，但推算其横向因果关系得出的结论颇有道理：我们周围目所能及的一切——白雪皑皑的喜马拉雅山，从东到西的深海，逶迤起伏的群山，色调阴森的荒漠峡谷，充满乐趣的溪谷——与蜂窝一样都是生命的产物。

拉马克、沃尔纳德斯基还有洛夫洛克等人大胆的主张开始时貌似荒谬，但经过侧面推算其因果关系颇为成立：我们周围目所能及的一切——白雪皑皑的喜马拉雅山，从东到西的幽深大洋，逶迤起伏的山丘，壮丽的荒漠峡谷，充满乐趣的溪谷——与蜂窝相差不多，都是生命的产物。

I think that this point is significant for understanding the nature of the Matrix, and I will try to show why below, with reference to Leibniz's account of causation.

我认为这一点对于理解Matrix的本质是很重要的，我也会在下面试着联系莱布尼茨的因果律。

When contemplating an effort to change the direction of social behavior, what kind of process works better: a direct approach or an indirect one Direct action presumes simple linear causation: A causes B.

当我们在思考如何努力改变社会行为的方向时，哪种类型的过程效果更好：一种直接的进路还是间接的进路？直接行为假设简单的、线性的因果关系：A导致B。

With Death guitarist Schuldiner adopting vocal duties, the band made a major impact on the scene.

随着死亡的吉他手Schuldiner接受主唱的职务，乐队在现实中树立了重要的影响。

But he could still end up breakfasting on Swiss-government issue muesli because all six are accused of nicking around 45 million pounds they should have paid to FIFA.

不过他最后仍有可能沦为瑞士政府&议事餐桌&上的一道早餐，因为这所有六个人都被指控把本应支付给国际足联的大约4500万英镑骗了个精光。
