I want to--and this is just really --Oops.

我想说这真是
I shouldn't do that. This is really wrong.

我不应该这么做的这完全不对
It's [the text on the slides] even in red.

幻灯片上的字甚至都红了
And what this fails to do is make a distinction

这个观点的问题就在于没有

把终极导因和引信导因区分开

这两个术语的意思是终极导因是指
the reason why something is there in the first place,

某事物在数百万年的历史中
over millions of years of history.

存在的第一原因
Proximate causation is

引信导因是指
why you're doing it now.

现在做某事的原因
And these are different. Obviously, for instance,

这二者不同很明显比如
animals do all sorts of things

动物会做各种事情
