|
| I'm going to talk about religion. |
我打算谈一些关于宗教的事情 |

但是宗教是一个宽泛,并且非常微妙的事物 所以我必须给我自己一个范围。 |
|
delicate:adj.精致的,微妙的,脆弱的,熟练的,柔和的;
|
| And therefore I will limit myself to only talk about the links between religion and sexuality . |
因此我将研究限定为 宗教和性之间的某些联系 |
|

|
| (Laughter) |

| This is a very serious talk. |

|
| This is indeed important, because everyone understands that there is some sort of limit on how many people we can be on this planet. |

| And there are some people who say that the world population is growing like this -- three billion in 1960, seven billion just last year -- and it will continue to grow |
另外,有些人 声称世界人口数量是这样增长的 1960年,地球上有30亿人口 但仅仅去年人口便达到70亿 而且,它将会继续增长 |
| because there are religions that stop women from having few babies, and it may continue like this. |
因为,一些宗教阻止妇女少生孩子。 所以,世界人口可能这继续下去 |
| To what extent are these people right? |
但是,这些人的说法在什么范围内是正确的呢 |
|

| When I was born there was less than one billion children in the world, and today, 2000, there's almost two billion. |

儿童的数量会每年都增加,并且持续15年吗？ 或者它会保持与现在相同的增速 直到世界上有40亿的儿童呢？ |

在我的演讲结束时,我会告诉你答案 |
| But now, what does religion have to do with it? |

classify:vt.分类;分等;
|
| You go to Wikipedia and the first map you find is this. |
当你查询维基百科时,你看到的第一张图是这样的 |
|
Wikipedia:维基百科;

|
Eastern:adj.东方的;向东的;东部的;东方国家的;n.东方人;东正教信徒;
|
| So we went on and we looked in Wikipedia, we found this map. |
因此,我们继续看维基百科,便看到这张图 |
| But that subdivides Christianity , Islam and Buddhism into many subgroups , which was too detailed. |

|
Christianity:n.基督教;基督教精神,基督教教义; Buddhism:n.佛教; subgroups:n.亚组,[数]子组(subgroup的复数形式);副全宗;

| And that is most countries in America and Europe, many countries in Africa and a few in Asia. |
大多数信仰基督教的国家在美洲和欧洲 非洲的很多国家以及亚洲的一小部分 |
| The white here are countries which cannot be classified , because one religion does not reach 50 percent or there is doubt about the data or there's some other reason. |

|
classified:adj.机密的; v.将…分类; (classify的过去分词和过去式)
