Whiteley said: 'We aim to understand the echolocation process that bats have evolved over millennia and employ similar signals and techniques in engineering systems.(懷特利表示：“我們的目標是理解經過N多年的進化后的蝙蝠的回聲定位法的過程，以便能把類似的信號或技術用在我們的工程系統上。”)

The sense you gain is that while the circumstances of mankind have changed dramatically over the millennia, human nature is relatively constant.(你從中體會到：人類的生活環境在幾千年間發生了翻天覆地的巨變，人性卻相對穩定。)

Lack of oxygen inhibited decay, and heat and pressure over millennia turned the wood into solid quartz colored by impurities like iron, carbon, and manganese.(缺乏氧氣的抑制衰減，熱量和壓力，幾千年來，把木材變成堅實的石英色彩的雜質一樣，鐵，碳，錳。)

Falling water levels are not the only changes at Lake Suguta over the past several millennia.(在過去的幾千年里水位下降并不是蘇加塔湖唯一的變化。)

So over millennia, we developed a reward system that causes us to seek and change our behavior so we can capture rewarding things to counterbalance the pain.(所以在這一千年中，我們發明了這項獎勵制度，它能使我們尋找并且改變我們的行為以至于我們能夠獲得獎勵的東西來平衡那些疼痛。)

By Darwinist thinking, giraffes got their long necks over millennia because genes for long necks had, very slowly, gained advantage.(據達爾文理論，長頸鹿幾千年來的長脖子，是由于長脖子基因在漫長的演變過程中，逐漸占據上風。)

He and his team suspect that the microbes survived over the millennia thanks to an algae called Dunaliella, which also became trapped and encased in the salt.(他與他的團隊推測這些微生物之所以可以存活一千年是由于一種屬于杜氏藻的海藻，這種海藻也被困在鹽中被鹽包裹。)

The descendants of long-time urban dwellers show increased genetically-driven resistance to tuberculosis, due to evolutionary selection pressure over millennia. Christopher Intagliata reports.(長期生活在城市的居民，其后代的遺傳基因里，對肺結核的抵抗力更強。究其原因，是幾千年來城市生活進化選擇的壓力為人類所做出的貢獻。)

We have been watching grisly death on screen for over a century, and for millennia on stage.(我們在銀幕上觀看可怕的死亡已經超過一個世紀了，在舞臺上也超過了一千年。)

The descendants of long-time urban dwellers show increased genetically-driven resistance to tuberculosis, due to evolutionary selection pressure over millennia.(長期生活在城市的居民，其后代的遺傳基因里，對肺結核的抵抗力更強。)
