做一株植物需要惊人的生物创造力。为了扎根于一处却能生存并繁盛，植物演化出了巧夺天工的生存策略。近年来，科学家们逐渐发现了它们非凡的天赋：它们能互相交流、辨认亲族并展现社交行为，能听见声音，能改变体态融入环境，能存储指导其生命周期的有用记忆，甚至能诱骗动物为自身效劳。《The Light Eaters》将带你深度沉浸于绿色生命的戏剧性世界，领略这一野生而令人敬畏的生命之复杂与壮阔。

如果你觉得这个有意思，我强烈推荐 Zoë Schlanger 写的《The Light Eaters》[0]。她在书中探讨了这一发现以及植物的其他感知能力。近期的科学研究发现了相当不可思议的事情。如果我没记错的话：花朵的形状往往像盘子……
If you find this interesting, I strongly recommend the book _The Light Eaters_ by Zoë Schlanger [0]. She discusses this finding as well as other sense-abilities of plants. Recent science has found pretty amazing things. If I recall correctly: flowers are often shaped like dish…
确实如此。强烈推荐 Zoe Schlanger 探讨这个主题的《The Light Eaters》。不过这并不能作为证明汽车有意识的好论据。
This is true. Highly recommend Zoe Schlanger's "The Light Eaters" on this topic. But not a good argument for car sentience.
作者写的那本关于植物智能的书《The Light Eaters》也十分值得一读！我几个月前刚看完，是我今年最喜欢的书之一。
The author’s book The Light Eaters on plant intelligence is also well worth a read! Finished it a couple months ago and it was one of my favorite books this year.
你可能会喜欢《The Light Eaters》，它涵盖了针对植物意识的最新研究。读完后我依然非常怀疑，比如：该如何区分源于基因编程的类似自动机行为与真正的意识……
You might enjoy The Light Eaters, it covers latest studies on plants for consciousness. I’m still very skeptical after reading it, I.e. how to differentiate between automaton like behavior derived from genetic programming and consciousness…
……去界定，就像生命本身一样（比如关于病毒到底算不算生物的争论等），但边缘个案终究是特例。在我看来，目前关于植物是否具备知觉的研究支持了这一点。（参见例如《The Light Eaters》以及 Michael Pollan 关于意识的新书《A World Appears》。）冥想更加深了这种体会。我们并不能控制自己的思绪；事实上，“我们”（即自我）完全可以被看作是一种幻觉。佛学……
…delineate, just as life is (debates on whether a virus is alive, etc.) but the border cases will be the exceptions. Current research on whether plants are sentient supports this, IMO. (See e.g. "The Light Eaters" and Michael Pollan's new book on consciousness, "A World Appears".) Meditation adds to this sense. We do not control our thoughts; in fact the "we" (i.e. the self) can be seen to be an illusion. Buddhist…
