English: 
The Earth.
Where almost everyone who has ever lived has spent their entire lives.
Where most of us will waste a quarter of our lives Netflix and Chilling.
But how did we even get here?
And why do we like "chilling" so much anyway?
Why are there mountains in some places, and deserts in others?
And how come we're the only house in the neighborhood with running water?

Chinese: 
地球
地球几乎每个曾经生活过的人都度过了他们的一生
地球是我们大多数人将浪费四分之一的时间观看视频和“放松”的地方
但是我们怎么到这里，为什么我们还是喜欢放松呢？
为什么有些地方有山脉，有些地方有沙漠？
为什么我们在附近有自来水的唯一房子呢？

Chinese: 
这是一个长话故事的朋友。 这是一部长达45亿年的故事，有一部长达93亿年的前传。
这是一个关于岩石和水的故事。
这是一个关于火与冰的故事，以及一个关于生命本身的故事。
这是一个不断变化的故事。
这是一个不太可能的故事，因为它是我们所知道的唯一这样的故事。
我们知道这个故事的开头，我们知道中间，但我们不知道结束。
在了解我们唯一的家的历史，我们可以更好地了解今天，甚至可能预测明天。
也许，如果我们足够关心并且努力工作，我们可以确保这个故事不会成为后代告诉他们的悲剧。
所以，让我们开始吧，我们有很多东西可以覆盖。

English: 
Well, it's a long story peeps. A 4.5 billion year long story, with a 9.3 billion year prequel.
A story of rock and water...
...of fire and ice, a story about life itself.
It's a story of near constant change.
It's an unlikely story to be sure, because well, it's the only one like it we know.
We know the beginning, we know the middle, but we do not yet know the end.
In learning about the history of our only home, we can gain a greater understanding
of today and perhaps even predict tomorrow.
And maybe, just maybe, if we care enough and work hard enough, we can make sure this story doesn't become a tragedy to be told by future generations.
So let's get started. We've got a LOT to cover.

English: 
We're going to examine the Earth and stuff through the lens of Geology.
You see, Geology is the science that deals with the Earth's structure and substance,
it's history and the processes that act on it.
Geologists study things like climate and volcanoes and earthquakes, the Moon and Mars and Europa.
Geologists study the formation and evolution of life.
We answer questions like, why is the Grand Canyon so grand, where do we find more oil or aluminum or the Rare Earth Elements that make your iPhone possible?
When, where, and why did Humans evolve?
Why is New Orleans sinking while the Adirondacks are rising?
Sheldon, "Geology isn't a real science"!

Chinese: 
我们将通过地质学的视角来研究地球。
你看，地质学是处理地球结构和物质的科学，它的历史和作用于它的过程。
地质学家研究气候，火山和地震，月球和火星以及木卫二等。
地质学家研究生命的形成和演变。
我们回答这样的问题：为什么大峡谷如此宏伟，
我们在哪里可以找到更多的油或铝或稀土元素让你的iPhone成为可能？
何时，何地以及为什么人类会进化？
为什么新奥尔良在阿迪朗达克山脉崛起时下沉？
谢尔顿说，“地质学不是一门真正的科学”！

Chinese: 
地质学当然有自己的科学原理，但我们依靠其他科学的工具来帮助我们回答有关地球的问题。
例如，化学，物理和生物学。
因为在一天结束时，地球的故事是一个化学，物理，生物变化的故事，表现为地质变化。
这是一门课程，部分是在您可能在当地大学学习的入门地质或地球课程之后建模的。
我们不会有无聊的1.5小时讲座。我们只会介绍最重要的概念。
我们将看看地球的形成，它的年龄以及我们如何知道它。
我们将看看我们的月亮来自哪里。
我们将看看生命和进化的起源。 我们将看看火山和地震以及大规模物种灭绝。

English: 
Geology has its own scientific principles of course, but we rely on tools from other sciences to help us answer questions about the Earth.
Sciences like Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.
Because at the end of the day, the story of Earth is a story of chemical, physical, biological change, manifested as geological change.
This is a course that's modeled, in part, after an Introductory Geology or Planet Earth course you might take at a local university.
Except instead of doing thirty 60-minute lectures, we're just going to play the hits.
We're going to look at things like the formation of the Earth, how old it is and how we know that.
We're going to look at where our moon came from.
We're going to look at the origin of life and evolution. We're going to look at volcanoes and earthquakes and mass extinctions.

Chinese: 
我们将看看不同的岩石类型，如何区分它们，
您可能在哪里找到它们，以及这些岩石可以告诉您什么。
哇！看看这些矿物粒的大小！
我们还将谈论气候变化以及化石和水晶以及其他行星，我可能会继续几次咆哮。
所以，如果这听起来像你进入的东西，那么坚持下去。 我希望你会。
在我们继续之前，最后还有一件事，我想确保你理解每个人都欢迎。
我不在乎你的科学背景是什么，你的种族是什么，你的性别认同是什么，
你的性取向是什么，你来自哪个国家，你的政治是什么......
......我不在乎你可能会或不会相信你的上帝，欢迎你来到这里。
因此，我们将开始工作，然后系上，扣上，准备发射，拿到午餐盒和安全帽。

English: 
We're going to look at the different rock types, how to tell them apart, where you might find them, and what they might tell you about the place you find them in.
Whoa man, look at these grain sizes!!
We're also gonna talk about climate change and fossils and crystals and other planets, and I'm probably gonna go on a couple rants.
So if that's something you're into, stick around. I hope you do.
And one final thing before we go on, I want to make sure you understand, everyone is welcome here.
I don't care what your scientific background dis, what your ethnicity is, what your gender identity is, what country you're from, what your politics are...
...or, you know, what god you may or may not believe in, you're welcome here.
So strap in, buckle up, prepare for launch, get your lunchbox and your hardhat, cause we're gonna get to work!
