人类能超越自身天赋吗?

Hong Kong was the staging point for a conference described as Asia's first "transhumanism" event, in late 2011.

2011年底，香港举办了据说是亚洲第一个“超人类主义”（transhumanism）活动。

(Note: don't bother to check the English-Chinese dictionary. This word is not there. The closest is "transhumance" which is the seasonal moving of livestock — e.g. sheep — from one place to another.)

（注：别费心查英汉字典了，里面根本没有这个词。和它拼写最相近的字是transhumance，意思是牲畜的季节性迁徙，比如羊。）

The two-day event, "Humanity + @ Hong Kong", was the first in a series of three conferences convened in Hong Kong which were designed to explore the human condition, with "out-of-the-box" thinking. The second in the series was TEDx Hong Kong, and the final one, The Asia Consciousness Festival.

这个为期两天的活动以“Humanity + @ Hong Kong”为主题，是在香港举办的三个专场会议的第一场，旨在以另类思维探索人类状况。第二场的主题是TEDx香港（TED是英文technology- 技术、entertainment-环境、design-设计三个单词首字母的缩写——译注），最后一场则是亚洲意识节（The Asia Consciousness Festival）。

The vice-chairman of the organizing committee was quoted in one local newspaper as saying: "Ultimately one of the things humanity is about is going beyond the legacy condition of humanity and becoming more than what nature has given us."
