Measurementshelped us to become merchants, builders,
astronomers,navigators, engineers, and scientists.
測量幫助我們成為商人，建筑師，天文學家，航海家，工程師和科學家
The need for better measurements
grew with each invention.
每項新發明都需要更精確的測量
With the adoption of standardized measurements
we created the global economy.
統一的測量體系造就了現在的全球經濟
Today, we have reached a pivotal point for humanity.
今天，我們來到了人類文明的一個關鍵節點
We no longer have to rely on physical objects
for precision measurements.
我們不再需要靠實物進行精準的測量
The rules of nature operate smoothly
From the invisible quantum world
to the far reaches of the universe
無論是隱形的量子世界
還是浩瀚杳渺的宇宙
自然法則放之而皆準
and so should our measurements.
對于測量而言也是如此
For the first time, all of the world’s measurement units
will be accurately defined by nature’s fundamental laws.
第一次，世界上所有的測量單位都將用自然界的基本法則來準確定義
In 2018, the world’s science community will come together
at Versailles to advance measurement science
for generations to come.
2018年，全球科學家將齊聚凡爾賽
為了子孫后代，共同推進測量科學的發展
Anyone anywhere will now be able to precisely measure
mass,temperature, electrical current and amount of substance
just as accurately as we already measure time and distance.
任何人在任何地方
都將能夠精確地測量質量、溫度、
電流以及物質的量
和我們現在測量時間、距離一樣準
We’ve come so far…
我們遠道而來……
…and,if history is any indication of the future,
……如果歷史可以預示未來，
Our new measurements will take us further
than we have ever imagined.
全新的測量將引領我們走得比想象中更遠
