What is so incredible, it is deemed real day 490?
真正的第490天什么是如此难以置信？（啥和啥啊，什么490天）

Victoria Ng

For many people they think money is something to be gained in significant amounts and they thrive and work hard to bring in the mass fortunes, doing everything possible to become wealthy.
对很多人来说，他们认为钱是从重要的账户中来的，然后人们努力发展努力工作，收货大量财富，从任何可能中变得富有。

There is a time to stop with the greed, if there is enough for yourself and to share with others.
当你有足够的财富，足够到可以同其他人分享，这就是摒弃贪婪之时。

Some people could not part with money, even if it is a small amount. Then there are those like Ronaldo, one of many heroes who donated to causes to help the poor.
有些人不会处理钱财，甚至是小账户。还有些人，就像罗纳尔多捐钱给贫困人民，很多这样的英雄。

These people understand wealth gained is to ease other’s pain. My heart ached for this baby and her family. Clearly you can see the distress the mother is in.
这些人理解金钱能够抚平贫困者的伤痛。我的心关心着婴儿和他的家人。你可以清晰德看到这位母亲的悲惨。

The money could save her baby’s life. This profound gesture of compassion makes me so happy to know that there are still good people out there who cares without monetary value.
金钱可以救她的孩子的命，这种同情的行为，让我很高兴这世界上还有很多不因为金钱价值才关心人的人。

This is so incredible, and deemed real. Thank you Ronaldo for being a good sport and a hero!
这并不根难以置信，并且听起来很真实。谢谢罗纳尔多，你是个很棒的球员，也适合英雄！

"Caught this little sucker in my basement this morning.
今天早上我抓到了这个小家伙。

I thought I'd break his little neck for sure as soon as I got a hand on him.
当我把他抓饭手里时，我想我应该立即扭断它的脖子。

But then as I looked into his pathetic, cute little face, I began to question this entitlement I had to whether another creature should continue existing or not just because he had been occupying the same space as me...
但是当我看向它可怜又可爱的小脸，我开始质疑，当这样一个其他生物占据本属于我的空间时，他是否有资格继续存在？

Long story short: I caught a mouse in my basement, stared at it for a really long time, and then walked it to the park. We are all blessed to share this air today...breathe deep." ❤❤❤

How long does it take for a dog to completely forget about its owner?
一条狗需要多久才能完全忘掉它的主人？

Thomas Tran
托马斯·陈

Your dog will not forget you forever. This is a myth. The only time a dog forgets its owner is when it is mistreated for a prolonged period of time.
你的狗狗将永远不会忘掉你。这其实是虚构的。只有一种情况狗狗会忘掉它的主人，那就是它被虐待很长一段时间。

It may be a few days, weeks or even months. But a dog will never forget its master, no matter how long it is separated from him.
可能持续几天，几周，甚至几个月。但是狗狗不会忘记它的主人，无论狗狗离开了他多久。

And if you treat your pet with love, there is no reason for it to forget you. Dogs are incredible beings.
如果你用心复合词你的宠物那么它将没有任何理由忘记你。狗狗是令人难以置信的生物。

They are man’s best friend. They can understand us much better than we understand them.
它们是人的最好的朋友。它们可以比我们人类理解它们那样，更理解我们。

They are just like us — they deserve love and care. They are the most affectionate and lovable creatures ever to live on this earth.

What would happen if a python swallowed a porcupine?
如果一条巨蟒吞一头箭猪会发生什么呢？

Luise

It's probably not the best idea to swallow a porcupine in most cases.
在任何时候，任何生物吞食箭猪，都不像个好主意。

A giant python had to experience this firsthand.
一条巨蟒曾这样做了。

A cyclist , who was on the road in a nature reserve in South Africa, discovered this strange snake.
一个人在南非的自然保护区骑自行车时，发现了一条奇怪的蛇。

He told the rangers. No one could imagine what the snake might have eaten.
他告诉了巡林员这件事。没人能想象到这条蛇吞了什么。

But it really looked like a big prey. One guessed a small warthog or something similar.
但它真的很像吞了什么巨大的猎食者，有人猜是疣猪，或者是什么类似的生物。

Less than a week later, this giant snake died.
不出一周，这条巨蟒死了。

It was opened and found that it had swallowed a 15 kilo porcupine.
人们将它解刨发现，它吞了一头15公斤的箭猪。

The snake itself was barely 4 meters long.
巨蟒本身是罕见的4米身长。

Her intestines had been literally shredded by the spikes. The body had tried to digest the spines, but it was futile.
她的肠道被箭直接扎碎了，她的身体试图消化这些箭，但是徒劳无功。

A published study from 2003 shows that the spines of such an animal can pierce any part of a snake's body.
一个2003年的文献记录，箭猪身上的箭可以刺穿蛇类身体的任何角落。

However, one is not quite sure what exactly caused the death of the snake.
然而，没有人确定是什么直接造成了巨蟒的死亡。

After all, it seems to have fallen off a ledge. No wonder, being so full of food.
毕竟，它更像是从悬崖峭壁摔落而死，带着被箭猪撑大的肚子。

And then the spikes in its belly could have bored into its guts from the impact.
然后它胃里的箭收到冲击，撕破了它的身体。

And why would a snake be dumb enough to eat a porcupine? I suppose it's like us sometimes: hunger drives it in.
但是，为什么一条巨蟒会饿到去吃箭猪呢？我猜测就像我们有时候一样：饥饿驱使罢了。

Isn't it realistically possible for another civilization to exist in the Milky Way that is possibly several billion years older?
有没有可能十亿年前就有另一个文明存在于银河系？

Tim Cole

In my opinion, the best possible answer is, “It’s not impossible.”
我认为：可能性最大的回答是：可能。

The Milky Way is enormous, and our most ambitious stellar position database (the Gaia 2 billion star catalog) includes less 1% of the stars in in.
银河系太大了，我们最引以为傲的恒星位置数据库（盖亚20亿星表）包括少于百分之一的星星。

We can’t possibly know what’s in our home galaxy. At this point, we haven’t detected any form of life beyond the Earth, or even any decent evidence of life.
我们可能不知道我们的家园银河有些什么。但是我们目前还没有检测出除了地球生命外的其他形式生命，甚至连任何生命能合理存在的环境都没有发现。

Considering what we don’t know, the very best we can say about extraterrestrial life is somewhat informed speculation.

Personally, I suspect that life is very common throughout the galaxy. I’d be surprised if there aren’t other civilizations in the galaxy.
我猜测生命广泛存在于银河系。如果银河系没有其他文明，我会非常吃惊。

What happens to a sheep if it is not sheared?
如果绵羊没有剪毛会怎么样？

回答者：Davide Fiore

This is Shrek.⁣这是史莱克。

He was just your everyday, average, run-of-the-mill Merino sheep living in South Island, New Zealand when he decided to escape from his enclosure and make a break for it to some nearby caves.
它仅仅是你每天常见的，生活在新西兰南岛的生产线上的美利奴羊，它逃离了羊圈，并弄了个大洞通往附近的洞穴。

He managed to live on his own for 6 years before he was eventually tracked down by his owner John Perrian, who had this to say when he finally found him, "He looked like some biblical creature."⁣
在被他的主人约翰佩利安追捕回之前，他努力独自生活了6年，他的主人抓到他时顺，他看起来想圣经中的动物。

⁣While some sheep breeds naturally shed their wool, (i.e. Bighorn sheep in North America) Merino sheep never do. Their wool will continue to grow until it completely engulfs them and even impair their vision (what you would call "wool blind"). Domesticated sheep have evolved based on the way humans have groomed them for thousands of years.
某些品种的羊天生生产羊毛，（例如北美大角羊）但是美利奴羊不是这样。它们的羊毛持续生长直到完全把它们的身体盖住，甚至遮挡它们的视野（也就是所谓的羊毛致盲）。在经过人类喂养千年以来，被驯服了的它们也进化了。

The earliest domestication of sheep dates back to 11,000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, where they were primarily used for meat, milk and wool.
最早的绵羊驯化要追溯到公元前11000年的美索不达米亚，那里人们最早使用它们获取肉，牛奶和羊毛。

After 6 years without a shave, Shrek had enough wool on his body to produce 20 suits for large men. In total, his fleece weighed 60 pounds.⁣
因为6年没剪，史莱克身上的羊毛多到足够为高大的男人做20件衣服。总之，他的羊毛重达60磅。

Shrek's fleece was shaved off on national television and then auctioned off to support medical charities for children. He even got to meet the Prime Minister and has since been depicted in several children's books.⁣ Sadly, Shrek passed away in 2011 at the age of 16.
史莱克的羊毛在中央电视台直播中被剪下来后，进行了拍卖以资助儿童医疗慈善机构。他甚至得以面见首相，并且被记录在一些儿童书里。遗憾的是，史莱克在2011年离世，享年16岁。

The second and the much more important part of the ban is public perception.
关于禁止使用塑料，第二也是更重要的一点是公众的态度。

In many ways, plastics is the ideal material. Inexpensive, lightweight, strong and easy to mold, plastic is inherently suitable for a wide variety of roles.
在很多情况下，塑料是很理想的材料。廉价，轻便，强韧，并且容易塑形，塑料天生适拥有种各样的用途。

We used to think some of these roles could only ever be filled with plastics, certainly so with straws and cups.
