Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the
worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even
whole socicties beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal look at the efforts that
scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and
the popularity of fantasy(幻想) litcrature or movies like The lord of the Rings, This
sense of wonder drous us to each other, to the world around us, and to the
world of make-believe. But have we gone to far in creating worlds of fantasy
that we are missing the phcasure of other worlds that alrewly exist all around
us?
Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an
inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms, However, people,
especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lices. In a study of
British schoolchildren, it was found that children bye age eight were much more
familiar with hurmans for television shows and cideo games than with common
wildlife. Without modern technology ,a amall pond could be an amazing world
filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects,birds,and animals. When we lack
meaningful interaction (交互) with the world around us, and sometimes ecen with our families and
friends , we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in
our imaginations or on a computer screen
The world of make-believe is not neccsanly bad, But when
the world of famsity becomes the only outlet (出路) our sense of
wonder ,then we are really missing something, We are missing a connection with
the living world. Other wonderful worderful worlds exist all around us. But
even more interesting is that if we look closely enough ,we can see that these
worlds, in a broad sense , are really part of our own.
