……不确定是不是这样。我觉得地球上有过某些时期（比如泥盆纪之前），整个就是个水世界（Waterworld）。Terry Pratchett 合著过一套叫《The Science of Discworld》（碟形世界的科学）的书，里面一群巫师在创造一个星球，星球经历了好多阶段，中途不断遭遇灭绝级（E.L.E.）的小行星撞击。我觉得这算是对早期地球一次充满奇思妙想的记录吧。挺有意思的书。
…not sure that's the case. I think there's been some times (like maybe pre-Devonian), where the Earth was pretty much Waterworld. There was a series of books that Terry Pratchett co-authored, called The Science of Discworld, where a bunch of wizards were creating a planet, and it went through a bunch of phases, punctuated by E.L.E. asteriod impacts. I think it was a fanciful chronicle of early Earth. Interesting books.
……识别并读出那些微妙的双关甚至三关语（比如 Nac Mac Feegles 的梗）——这说明他们和编辑并没有完全领会 Pratchett 想表达的幽默。千万别错过《The Science of Discworld》系列（第一卷 (1999)、第二卷《The Globe》(2002)、第三卷《Darwin's Watch》(2005)、第四卷《Judgement Day》(2013)），书里章节在幽冥大学（Unseen University）那些巫师的故事（由 Stephen Cohen 配音）与……之间交替进行
…recognise and pronounce the subtle double and triple entendres (e.g. of the Nac Mac Feegles) - which suggests they and the editors don't fully appreciate the humour Pratchett intended. Don't miss the "The Science of Discworld" series (book I (1999), II:The Globe (2002), III:Darwin's Watch (2005), IV:Judgement Day (2013)) where the chapters alternate between stories of the Wizzards (voiced by Stephen Cohen) of Unseen University…
如果他喜欢 Terry Pratchett 的书，那么这三本《Science of Discworld》出奇地优秀（无论是科学部分还是故事部分），我一开始还以为会像《星球大战中的科学》那种书一样，充斥着飞船剖面图之类的……
If he likes the Terry Pratchett books then the 3 "Science of Discworld" books are surprisingly good (in both science and story) when I was half expecting something along the lines of a cut-away diagrams of space ships that you might find in a Science of Star Wars book from…
我正在读《The Science of Discworld》，非常喜欢。通俗易懂、引人入胜，而且真能引发你的思考，质疑事情为什么会是现在这个样子。http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Science-Discworld-Terry-Pratchet... “Pratchett……
I am reading "The Science of Discworld" and I like it a lot. It is accessible, engaging, and makes you really think and question why things are the way they are. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Science-Discworld-Terry-Pratchet... "Pratchett…
听我一句劝：去读《Science of Discworld》系列。我认为 Terry Pratchett 关于“叙事因果律（narrative causality）”如何应用于现实生活（IRL）也有很多精辟的见解。
Do a thing: read the Science of Discworld books. I posit that Terry Pratchett also has a lot to say about narrative causality as it applies to IRL.
我是从《Science of Discworld》系列里了解到这点的，好像是第一本。如果你喜欢爵士（Sir Terry），我真是怎么推荐都不为过。
I learned about this from the "Science of Discworld" books, I believe the first one, which I cannot recommend enough if you like Sir Terry.
