从猴子到人

大约在5亿年前，不，也许在7亿年前，在银河系之外，有一个文明高度发达的星球——M星球。M星球也像地球一样有大气保护，有山有水，风调雨顺。陆地上生活着一种生命，我们姑且把它命名为WAIN吧，WAIN在M星球生活、繁衍大约有3亿年的历史。

About 500 million years ago, no, maybe 700 million years ago, outside the galaxy, there was a highly civilized planet, planet M. Planet m, like the earth, has atmospheric protection, mountains and water, and good weather. There is a kind of life on the land. Let's call it Wain. Wain has a history of about 300 million years of life and reproduction on planet M.

在M星球，一个屋顶周边呈11个角、总体大致是圆形的建筑物里，几十位WAIM分成两排面对面席地而坐。初看，他们与地球上的人并无两样，只是手臂与腿要比人短得多。从他们严肃的神情看，他们正在讨论一个棘手而必须要解决的问题。原来，据M星球的科学家预测，大约在1亿年后，有一个星球将与M星球激烈碰撞，WAIN将面临灭顶之灾。怎幺办？与会的WAIN们形成了一致的认识：在宇宙间寻找适合WAIN生存的星球，把WAIN移居到这个星球上去。？

On planet m, dozens of waims sit face to face on the ground in two rows in a building with 11 corners around the roof. At first sight, they are no different from people on earth, but their arms and legs are much shorter than people. From their serious looks, they are discussing a difficult problem that must be solved. It turns out that, according to the scientists of planet m, in about 100 million years, one planet will collide with planet m intensely, and Wain will face the disaster of extinction. What to do? The participating wains formed a common understanding: to find a suitable planet for Wain in the universe and move Wain to this planet.?

经过上百年探索与研究，WAIN发明了一种叫FT的宇宙航行器，这种圆形宇航器直径有10多米，分为里外两层，外层能够高速旋转，宇航器就是借着外层的高速旋转而产生的力飞行，速度比火箭还要快100多倍。WAIN选出了8名宇航员，WAIN的未来就寄托在这8名宇航员身上。？

After hundreds of years of exploration and research, Wain invented a kind of space vehicle called ft, which has a diameter of more than 10 meters and is divided into two layers inside and outside. The outer layer can rotate at a high speed. The space vehicle is flying with the force generated by the high speed rotation of the outer layer, which is more than 100 times faster than the rocket. Wain has elected eight astronauts, and the future of Wain depends on these eight astronauts.?

漆黑的夜晚使辽阔的戈壁滩显得更加无边无际，戈壁滩上停着即将飞行的宇航器，夜色的浓重使它看上去是一个庞然大物。8名宇航员鱼贯登上坐仓，其它工作的WAIN很快离开现场。十多分钟后，FT高速旋转，扬起的尘土、沙砾笼罩了方圆几公里，WAIN们只能见到它模糊的影子。几分钟后，整个宇航器由于与空气的摩擦变得通红，四周笼罩着一团红晕。忽地，FT升空而起，瞬间便消失得无影无踪。？

The dark night makes the vast Gobi Desert seem more boundless. On the Gobi desert, there is a space vehicle about to fly. The thick night makes it look like a giant. Eight astronauts fish into the cabin, and the other work of the Wain soon left the scene. More than ten minutes later, the FT rotated at high speed, and the dust and gravel raised covered the area for several kilometers. The wains could only see its faint shadow. A few minutes later, the whole spacecraft became red due to friction with the air, surrounded by a red halo. Suddenly, FT rises and disappears in a flash.?

当FT停落在地球上时，立时，四周形成一片焦碳，五个多小时后，一条梯子从FT上伸了出来，宇航员步出了坐仓。？

When the FT stopped on the earth, a coke formed around it. More than five hours later, a ladder stretched out from the FT, and the astronauts stepped out of the cabin.?

宇航员在地球上考察了十多个昼夜，发现地球上满是低级的动物，没有高级的生命，这些动物在本能的驱使下穿梭于丛林，奔跑在原野。对于“入侵者”，它们感到恐慌，但很快恢复了常态。看到地球上的动物，宇航员们比画着，讨论着，似乎显得异常的兴奋：地球是适合生命居住的星球！但随着考察的深入，这些M星球上的WAIN们发现地球上缺乏适合他们的食物，如果要把WAIN移居到地球，必须先在地球上培植可以让WAIN获取食物的植物。但这并没有让这些宇航员沮丧，他们捕捉了几只小动物，步履似乎显出几分踌躇登上了FT。

Astronauts have investigated the earth for more than ten days and nights, and found that the earth is full of low-level animals, without high-level life. Driven by instinct, these animals shuttle in the jungle and run in the field. They panicked at the intruders, but soon returned to normal. Seeing the animals on the earth, the astronauts compared and discussed, which seemed to be very excited: the earth is a suitable planet for life! However, with the further investigation, the wains on these m planets found that there was a lack of food suitable for them on earth. If we want to move the Wain to the earth, we must first cultivate plants on the earth that can let the Wain get food. But it didn't frustrate the astronauts. They caught a few small animals and seemed to hesitate to climb the FT.

当8名宇航员带着胜利果实回到M星球，发现M星球发生了巨大的变化，虽然宇航员整个考察过程只进行了两个多月，但M星球的时间已经过去了800多年，原来探索外星球的组织已经解散。从历史记载的资料来看，当时，他们以为这次宇宙探索计划已告失败，WAIN移居外星球恐怕已不可能成为事实。8名宇航员回到M星球后，给WAIN带来了新的希望，整个星球都在传播着这个令WAIN们鼓舞的消息。他们很快作出决定，把M星球上的作物移植到地球去。于是调动星球上所有相关的力量，进行第二次地球之旅，宇航员由原来的8名减少到6名，外加两位植物学家。？

When eight astronauts returned to planet m with the fruits of victory, they found that great changes had taken place in planet M. although the whole exploration process of astronauts only lasted for more than two months, the time of planet m had passed more than 800 years, and the original organization to explore the outer world had been dissolved. According to historical records, at that time, they thought that the space exploration plan had failed, and that it was impossible for Wain to move to another planet. After eight astronauts returned to planet m, they brought new hope to the Wain, and the whole planet was spreading this encouraging news to the wains. They quickly decided to transplant the crops from planet m to the earth. So we mobilized all the relevant forces on the planet to make a second earth trip, reducing the number of astronauts from eight to six, plus two botanists.?

他们来到地球的时候，正好赶上季节，于是播下各种种子。过了几天，种子发芽了！很快，它们长出了茎叶。他们每天都来看作物的生长情况，精心呵护……可是，六个月过后，所有的作物都慢慢枯萎，他们看不到这些作物像在M星球上一样结出所需要的果实。？

They came to the earth just in time for the season, so they planted all kinds of seeds. After a few days, the seeds germinated! Soon, they grew stems and leaves. They come to see the growth of crops every day and take good care of them However, six months later, all the crops are slowly withering, and they can't see the fruits they need as they do on planet M.?

不幸的消息使WAIN似乎感觉到末日的来临。科学家们聚集在一起，商量研究对策，最后他们绝望地作出决定：把WAIN的基因提取出来，移植到地球上某种动物身上，创造一种新的物种，使WAIN的最重要的文明能够得以保存？

The sad news made Wain seem to feel the end of the day. Scientists gathered together to discuss research strategies, and finally they made a desperate decision: to extract the gene of Wain, transplant it to some kind of animal on the earth, create a new species, so that the most important civilization of Wain can be preserved?

M星球的第三次地球之旅开始了，他们带着沉重的心情，在地球上寻找合适的动物。？

Planet M's third journey to the earth began. With a heavy heart, they searched for the right animals on the earth.?

想到WAIN如此高度发达的文明，现在只能把基因移植到低等动物身上才能保持一点痕迹，宇航员和科学家们怀疑这有多大的必要，但他们还是仔细地寻找着，反复地比较着地球上哪一种动物可以承受如此厚重的礼物，哪一种动物值得他们把整个星球的一丝脉息寄附。？

Thinking of the highly developed civilization of Wain, now we can only transplant the gene to the lower animals to keep a trace. Astronauts and scientists doubt how necessary it is, but they are still carefully looking for, repeatedly comparing which animal on the earth can bear such a heavy gift, which animal is worth them to send a trace of the whole planet. ?

他们踯躅着，来到了一个林子的边缘，看到了一只猴子的奇怪的行为，它用前肢握住一株小树的树干使劲地摇动，树枝上的果实便掉了下来；接着它捡起一块石块，把掉在地上坚果放在石头上，用石块敲开坚果，抓着果仁送进自己的嘴巴。于是，这个林子里大大小小所有猴子的血液里都流淌着M星球WAIN的基因……？

They wandered to the edge of a forest, and saw the strange behavior of a monkey. He held the trunk of a small tree with his forelegs and shook it vigorously, and the fruit fell off the branch. Then he picked up a stone, put the nut on the ground, knocked the nut open with the stone, grabbed the nut and put it into his mouth. So, in this forest, all monkeys, big and small, have the gene of M star Wain flowing in their blood?

经过几代的演变，猴子终于变成了人。？

After several generations of evolution, monkeys have finally become human beings.?
