大进化

The piling up, taking apart and reassembling of objects thus becomes a metaphor of entropic and evolutionary movements.

於是对物体的堆砌、拆解和重组被比喻成熵和进化（熵是指系统运行有序和无序的程度，维持一个系统的有序必然破坏另一个系统，越无序，熵量越大）。

Flowering plants, while diverse, had been previously restricted to disturbed habitats such as those uprooted by elephantine dinosaurs or ravaged by fire, but by now had gradually evolved to include a range of forest-canopy trees and understorey bushes.

在此之前，尽管有花植物种类繁多，但是由于外界环境的扰动，它们的生存受到很大的限制：不是被巨大的恐龙连根拔起，就是丧身火海。但是现在它们已经逐渐进化了，从遮天蔽日的大树，到身材矮小的灌木。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
