例如，为什么人不可能睁着眼睛打喷嚏或人体中最强壮、最有力的肌肉是舌头。今天，我们将探索这些惊人的科学事件。

For example, why is it impossible for a person to sneeze with their eyes open or the strongest and most powerful muscle in the human body is the tongue. Today, we are going to explore these amazing scientific events.

你知道正常人的眼部肌肉每天平均运动10,000到15,000次吗？我们都眨眼，有的多，有的少。一般来说，成人每分钟眨眼 12 至 15 次，儿童可能更多。这样一来，一个人每天眨眼10000次以上。

Do you know that the eye muscles of a normal person move an average of 10,000 to 15,000 times a day? We all blink, some more, some less. In general, adults blink 12 to 15 times per minute, and children may have more. In this way, a person blinks more than 10,000 times a day.

人为什么要眨眼？这其实是一种生理需要。眨眼时，眼泪可以均匀地分布在角膜和结膜上，使眼球不至于干燥，还可以清除眼内的灰尘和细菌。如果不眨眼，眼球上的泪膜会很快蒸发，我们会感到眼睛干涩难受，甚至刺痛流泪。

Why do people blink? This is actually a physiological  need. When you blink, the tears can be evenly distributed on the cornea and conjunctiva, so that the eyeballs will not be dry and can also remove the dust and bacteria in the eyes. If you don't blink, the tear film on the eyeballs will evaporate quickly, and we will feel dry eyes uncomfortable and even stinging and tearing.

眨眼的次数也与人的心理状态密切相关。紧张的时候眨眼多，注意力集中的时候眨眼少。人们在使用电脑时，眨眼频率可低至每分钟3次。

The number of blinks is also closely related to people's psychological state. When we are nervous, we blink more, and when we concentrate, we blink less. When people use computers, the blink frequency can be as low as three times a minute.

Do you believe that theage of water has been 300 million years since ancient times? When the water on the earth was first formed, no matter whether it was a lake or an ocean, the amount of water was not very large.

随着地球内部产生的水汽不断被送入大气层，地面上的水量不断增加。地球经过亿万年的演化，终于最终形成了我们现在看到的河流、湖泊和海洋。地球有46亿年，水当然有3亿年。

As the water vapor generated inside the earth was continuously sent into the atmosphere, the amount of water on the ground continued to increase. After billions of years of evolution of the earth, finally, the rivers, lakes and seas we see now are formed. The earth is 4.6 billion years old, of course water is 300 million years old.
