大名鼎鼎的马斯克，一个传奇的人物。人类历史上首位身价过3000多亿美元的人，拥有私人航天公司，做到了火箭回收、平稳落地，而且一个私人航天公司竟然做到了一箭上百颗卫星，那个梦想登上火星的男人。今天分享的是马斯克的一段关于思考生命意义的讲话，你是否能从中得到一定的启发？
Elon Musk : When I was kid, I was wondering kind of what’s the meaning of life? Like why we were here? What’s it all about?
埃隆·马斯克：当我还小的时候，我就开始思考类似于 “生命的意义是什么？”、“我们为什么在这？”、“我们活着是为了什么？” 这样的问题。
And then I came to a conclusion that what really matters is try to understand the right questions to ask. And the more that we can increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions.
然后我得到了一个结论：真正重要的是我们要努力弄明白我们要问出正确的问题是什么？并且我们越是提升人类意识的范围和规模，我们就能更好地提出这些问题。
And … so I think the certain things that are necessary to ensure that the future is good. And … some of those things are in the long term having long term sustainable transport and sustainable energy generation. And to be a space exploring civilization.
并且…… 所以我认为，我们需要确保未来是美好的。 其中一些就是长期的，有长期的可持续运输和可持续的能源生产。成为一个星际探索文明。
And for humanity to be out there among the stars is important for the long term survival of humanity. And, that’s one reason, kind of like life insurance for life collectively. Life as we know it. But then the part that I find personally most motivating is that it creates a sense of adventure, and it makes people excited about the future.
对于人类来说，成为星际生物对人类的长期生存是非常重要的。这是一个原因，有点像人寿保险。正像我们所知道的生活。但是，然后我个人发现最激动人心的是创造一种冒险的感觉，并且它让人们对未来是充满激情的。
If you consider two futures, one where we are forever confined to earth until eventually something terrible happens. Or another future where we are out there on many planets, maybe even going beyond the solar system.
如果你考虑两种未来，一种是我们永远局限于地球直到最终发生可怕的事情。或者另一个未来，我们在许多行星上，甚至可能走出太阳系。
I think that space invasion is incredibly exiting and inspiring. And there need to be reasons to get up in the morning. You know, life can’t be about solving problems. Otherwise, what’s the point? There’s got to be things that people find inspiring and make life worth living.
我认为太空移民令人难以置信地兴奋和鼓舞人心。每天早上都要有让你起床的理由。你知道，生活不能是解决问题。否则，有什么意义？一定有一些事情让人们觉得很鼓舞人心，让生活变得有意义。
