5. A few occasional flaps of the wings of a butterfly in a South American tropical rain forest in the Amazon Basin may cause a tornado in Texas, the United States two weeks later. This is because the movement of the wings of the butterfly will bring about changes in the air system around it, and also cause weak air flow, which will lead to relevant changes in the air and other systems around it. This will cause a series of chain reactions, and eventually lead to significant changes in other systems.
亚马孙盆地的南美热带雨林中的一只蝴蝶,偶尔扇动了几下翅膀,两周后在美国得克萨斯州可能引起一场龙卷风。这是因为蝴蝶翅膀的运动会导致其身边的空气系统发生变化,并产生微弱气流,而微弱气流又会引起它四周空气或其他系统产生相应的变化,由此引起一系列连锁反应,最终导致其他系统的极大变化。
“蝴蝶效应作为一种自然现象,也出现在文艺作品中。美国歌手戴维·赫尔南德斯(David Hernandez)的The Butterfly Effect 一诗开头有这样的诗句
If a butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing
could cause a hurricane off the coast of Florida,
so could a deck of cards shuffled at a picnic.
假如北京的一只蝴蝶扇动双翅
能让佛罗里达海岸外刮起一场飓风,
野餐时洗一副纸牌也能掀起飓风。
