早在1992年，约1700位前沿科学家就曾发出警告，这是其增补信。自第一次发布警告信后，除了臭氧层空洞问题，地球面临的其他威胁都已加剧。警告信中称，人类如果再不采取行动，大规模物种灭绝、海洋中死亡区形成以及新鲜食物和淡水稀缺一系列局面将成定局。

4 Albert Einstein’s Theory of Happiness Sells for $1.3 Million 爱因斯坦的亲笔便条拍出130万美元高价

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Happinessfetched[卖出]$1.3 million at aJerusalem[耶路撒冷]auction[拍卖会].

The Nobel-winning scientist’smusings[沉思], handwritten on a note, may not be as famous as hisgroundbreaking[开创性的]Theory of Relativity, but they stillshed light on[阐明]one of the great modern minds.

Winner’s Auctions and Exhibitions said Einstein was traveling in Japan in 1922 when he was told he would be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. In Tokyo,Einsteinscribbled[潦草地写]the note in German to abellboy[行李员]after he did not havecash[现金]to give him atip[小费].

“A calm andmodest[谦逊的]life brings more happiness than thepursuit[追求]of success combined withconstant[持续不断的]restlessness[不安定],” it reads.

在耶路撒冷的一场拍卖会上，写有爱因斯坦《幸福观》的便条卖出了130万美元（折合人民币约860万）的高价。

诺奖得主爱因斯坦写在便条上对于幸福的沉思或许没有他那开创性的《相对论》有名，但我们同样能从中窥探到爱因斯坦伟大思想的星星点点。

拍卖公司（赢家拍卖展览公司）说，1922年爱因斯坦得知自己获得诺贝尔物理学奖的时候正在日本旅行。当时他在东京，因为没有现金给行李员小费，就用德语写了张便条赠给他——

“宁静淡泊比终日蝇营幸福得多。”
