No matter, there is still the underlying idea that we cannot have a life of our own without concern for the ecosystem in which we live, whether in majesty or not.

不管怎样，仍然有一种基本的观点认为，我们不能在不关心我们所生活的生态系统的情况下拥有自己的生命，不管它是否庄严。

And given the idea that most of ecosystem form and process is created by and ruled by human activity, how did it get to be that way?

并且试想大多数的生态系统的组成和进程都是由人类创造和主宰的，那么它是怎么做到的呢？

The idea that the value provided by such “ecosystem services” can be represented by ecologists in a way that economists can get to grips with, though, is rather newer.

生态学家提出：这样的价值是由“生态系统服务”提供的，在某种程度上，经济学家更好的抓住了这点，尽管他们还只是初入门道。
