The general struggle for existence of animate beings is not a struggle for raw materials—these are for organisms in ample supply—nor for energy which exists in plenty in any body in the form of heat, but a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transition of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth.
生物普遍存在的生存斗争不是为了原材料——这些对生物来说是充足的——也不是为了能量,能量以热的形式在任何物体中都大量存在,而是为了熵,熵是通过能量从炽热的太阳转移到寒冷的地球而变得可用的。

我不害怕风暴,因为我是学习如何驾驶我的船。
