forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of
creatures and even whole societies 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) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings.
This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the
world of make-believe(虚假). But have we gone so far in
creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that
already 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(隔离的) lives. In a study of British schoolchildren,
it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters
from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without
modern technology, a small 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
even 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 necessarily
bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we
are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living
world. Other wonderful 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.
