Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low,it adds up over time ,and becomes a near certainty in the next 1000 or 10000 years
Hawking said in the speech
万维刚的翻译:尽管在每一个特定年份里,地球遭受重大灾难的可能性都非常低,但是在此后1000年或者1万年内,至少遭受一次重大灾难的可能性就很高了。
新华社在《地球只能维持1000年?听听霍金怎么说》也引用了这段原文,但是它的翻译错误了。
这是在万维刚的得到专栏里面看到的
