固然天威難測，但是多一分對大自然的認識，應該減少一分損失。過去數十年，國人專注於經濟發展而創造了台灣經濟奇蹟，但也忽略了對所處環境的瞭解與尊重，並堅信人定勝天，一眛地開發，而嚐到大自然反撲的滋味。 Indeed, nature (natural process) is unpredictable, but if we know more (a bit better) about the nature, we could (or should) reduce (a bit) more the loss (correspondingly). In the last few decades, we have concentrated in (put much emphasis on) economic development and created the “Taiwan economic miracle”. However, we have ignored the understanding of and respect to our environment. We firmly believed that the nature could be conquered, so continued our blind development; but in the end we are suffering from the revenge of the nature. 衡諸近年來的自然災害，有絕大部分是因為人類的愚蠢及自大而造成的。如何與大自然和平共存是一個嚴肅且必要的課題。 When the natural disasters of recent years are examined, (we have found that) the majority of them were caused by human foolishness and arrogance. How we are (are we) going to coexist with the nature becomes a serious and necessary (essential) issue to be dealt with.
