Hey there! Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko!
大家好！欢迎收看新一期的《亲爱的宝高》！
This is the show where I answer your questions about your world and my world.
在这个节目中，我将会回答关于你的世界和我的世界的问题。
Let's get started with our first question. James Q asks DEARBLOCKO What if everyone went to sleep at the same time?
让我们开始第一个问题。詹姆斯Q问亲爱的宝高：“如果所有人都在同一时间睡觉会怎么样?”
Well, if everyone in the world decided to completely sync up their bedtimes, things would get pretty weird.
如果世界上的每个人都决定完全同步他们的就寝时间，事情就会变得非常奇怪。
To begin with, certain portions of the world would be sleeping during daylight hours.
首先，世界上的某些地方的人们会在白天的时间睡觉。
This would not only disrupt their natural circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle,
这不仅会破坏他们的自然昼夜节律和醒睡周期。
but would force them to work at night, making outdoor jobs, like construction and agriculture, very difficult.
而且会迫使他们在晚上工作。户外的工作，比如建筑和农业就会变得非常艰难。
This regimented sleep time would also affect energy production and carbon dioxide emissions.
受管制的睡眠时间也会影响能源生产和二氧化碳排放。
While everyone is asleep, power grids would feel a sigh of relief and emissions would decline.
当每个人都睡着时，电网会松一口气，排放量会下降。
But when everyone wakes up around the same time and starts using their lights and appliances,
但当所有人都在同一时间醒来，开始使用电灯和电器时，
emissions would surge due to all the power stations firing up - something critics of Earth Hour have pointed out.
由于所有的发电站都在工作，排放量会激增，地球一小时行动的批评者已经指出这一点。
And with people up and working at night, we would use more electricity for lighting than the 232 billion killowatthours the United States already consumes yearly for homes and buildings.
人们在晚上起床工作，我们将使用更多的电用于照明。而美国每年已经消耗2320亿千瓦时的能源用于房屋和建筑。
Right now, this only accounts for 6% of the country's total electrical use.
现在，这仅仅占全国总用电量的6%。
Who knows how big this percentage would grow if the world adopted the same sleep time.
如果世界采用相同的睡眠时间，谁知道这个比例会涨到多少呢？
Interested question though. Thank you for asking! Makayla H asks DearBlocko Why do people get car sick?
但是这是个很有趣的问题。谢谢你的提问！玛凯拉H问道，亲爱的宝高，为什么人们会出现晕车呢？
People that feel sick or nauseous when traveling by car, airplane, or boat are all suffering from motion sickness.
乘汽车、飞机或轮船旅行时感到恶心的人都患有晕动病。
This happens when there is a conflict between what you are seeing and what your body is feeling.
当你所看到的和你身体的感觉之间有冲突时，就会发生这种情况。
While the car is moving, your inner ear, which is responsible for your sense of balance, feels your motion.
当汽车在移动时，负责你的平衡感的内耳会感觉到你的运动。
But if you are looking at your phone instead of out the window, your eyes don't register the movement.
但如果你正盯着手机而不是窗外，你的眼睛就不会注意到手机的移动。
This mix-up can result in feelings of dizziness, cold sweats, nausea and vomiting. All of that is bad stuff...
这种混乱会导致人出现眩晕感，冷汗，恶心，呕吐。所有这些都是不好的事情...
But now for some good stuff, it's time for questions about me and my world!
但是现在说一些好事情，现在是提问关于我和我的世界的问题的时候！
Galaxy World asks DearBlocko, What would you do if you encountered an alien? Well, I've actually encountered a lot of aliens.
银河世界问亲爱的宝高，如果你碰到外星人会怎么做？实际上我已经碰到过很多外星人了。
Many aliens visit the Life Noggin world. Some are evil. Some are nice. Others are made of spiders.
很多外星人来参观脑洞大开的世界。有些外星人是邪恶的，有些是很好的。其他的则是由蜘蛛做成的。
And those are a little harder to love, for obvious reasons. Circlia does a great job of fighting off the bad aliens though. She's great.
很明显，那些外星人很难让人喜欢。圆脸娜在对抗邪恶外星人方面做得很好。她很棒。
Rice Rat Dearbloko, Have you ever had any wars in your World? Hmm I don't think so.
稻鼠问亲爱的宝高，你的世界上发生过什么战争吗？我认为没有。
Actually, come to think of it, we did have a small scuffle with a group of Alpacas, but they started it… They were just looking at me funny, you know?
实际上，回想一下的话，我们的确和一群羊驼有过一次小的混战，但是是他们开始动手的，他们就是觉得我很搞笑。
They're just weird, ok? They're weird looking. Anyway, do you have any questions about your world or my world?
他们就是很奇怪，好吧。他们看起来很奇怪。不管怎样，你有没有什么关于你的世界或我的世界的问题想问我们？
Let me know in the comment section below, and make sure you use the hashtag DEARBLOCKO so I can find it!

"Well first of, when people talk about a person's Intelligence Quotient or IQ,
“首先，当人们讨论一个人的智商时，
they're usually talking about a score they got on some tests that are thought to measure a person's cognitive abilities or intelligence compared to other people in their age group."
他们经常说的是人们在某些测验中取得的分数，这些分数被认为是用来衡量一个人与同龄人相比的认知能力或智力。”
As always my name is Blocko! This has been Life Noggin! Don't forget to keep on thinking.
我是宝高，这里是脑洞大开的生命奇想。思考不要停！
