大家好。在我的家族中长大,可以带给人一定的历史感。我是我们家族 几十代人中的晚辈。这棵橡树靠近温莎城堡,900 多年间,我的家族有 39位君主曾居住在此,欣赏着这些美丽的风景。

I’ve walked here many times myself, and it always amazes me that some of the trees planted here, living organisms, dependent on soil, rain and sunlight, were here as they laid the first stones of Windsor Castle. That makes some of the oaks here almost 1,000 years old. These trees germinated (发芽) during the reign (当政期) of William the Conqueror in 1066, from a simple acorn (橡子) like this.
worth n 价值 air travel 航空旅行
sequence v 按顺序排列 [sequ (跟随) + -ence] (名词动词化)
escape v 冲破;摆脱
innovation n 创新;革新
acceleration n 加速
Over my grandmother’s lifetime, the last 90 years or so, our impacts accelerated so fast that our climate, oceans, air, nature and all that depends on them are in peril. This oak has stood here for centuries, but never has it faced a decade like this.
Hello, everyone. Growing up in my family gives you a certain sense of history. I’m simply the latest in a line that can be traced back generations. This oak tree is close to Windsor Castle, which has been home to my family for over 900 years. Thirty-nine monarchs (君主) have lived here and enjoyed these beautiful surroundings.
By the time that Henry VIII lived here, they’d grown into mature,
impressive giants. And amazingly, some of those very same trees still survive here today. They’re a bit gnarled (多节瘤的) and hollowed-out (空心的), but they’re still very much alive.
亨利八世住在这里的时候,它们已经长成了参天大树。令人惊讶的是,其 中有些橡树今天依然存活着。尽管它们已饱经风霜,躯干早已残缺不堪, 但是仍然绽放着顽强的生命力。
by the time ……时

impressive adj 给人深刻印象的 (impress + -ive)
我曾多次造访这里,这里的一些树木总是令我叹为观止。在温莎堡刚刚破 土动工时,它们就已扎根在这里,沐浴阳光雨露。有些橡树已有近千年的 历史了。1066 年,在征服者威廉统治时期,这些树木就开始从这样不起眼 的橡子中生根发芽。
amaze v 使惊奇 it amazes sb that 使某人感到惊讶 organism n 生物;有机体 (organise + -ism) living organisms 生物 (be) dependent on 依靠;依赖 lay v 放置 (同义词place)
在这些橡树的生命周期中,约有350 亿人陆续生活在我们的星球上。那是350亿 个生命承载的希望、爱、恐惧和梦想。在此期间,人类发明了航空旅行、疫苗 和计算机。我们已经探索了世界的每个角落,完成了人类基因组测序,甚至成 功的冲破了地球的大气层。我们的创新速度令人难以置信,但是,我们的影响 也在加速。
live one’s live 生活
giant n 巨型植物
amazingly adv 令人惊讶地 (amazing + -ly)
survive v 存活
While these oaks have been growing, around 35 billion people have lived their lives on our planet. That’s 35 billion lifetimes’ worth of hope, love, fear and dreams. In that time, humankind has invented air travel, vaccines and computers. We’ve explored every part of the globe, sequenced the human genome ( 基 因 组 ) and even escaped Earth’s atmosphere. Our speed of innovation has been incredible, but so, too, has the acceleration of our impact.
