+ 加入清单Environmental problems are being more and more serious all over the world。
For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and
poisonous gas is given off by factories。 Trees on the hills have been cut down
and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers。Furthermore, wherever
we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed。 Pollution is, in fact,
threatening our existence。
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves
and for our later generations。 Fortunately, more and more people have realized
these problems。 Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the
government。 Laws have been passed to stop pollution。 I hope the problem will be
solved in the near future and our home will bee better and better。

全文共 7064 字
+ 加入清单Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup
Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.
在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右,也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候,鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝,一直活到了今天。
The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.
这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于,在中国人眼中,请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口,并且中国人一天比一天富裕,吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅,人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候,人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来,然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里,任由它们死去。
The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.
加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案,但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑,州参议院还未对其投票表决。
What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.
人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题,也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么,不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉,印度教徒不吃牛肉,而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。
Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.
西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑,有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类:吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉,或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。
Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.
美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中,有个女人在卖兔子,她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”,她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”,她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。
The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.
社会越是富有,往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半,我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲,人们通常是吃这些的,而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言,中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。
Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.
这么说来,想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不,我们可以反对,而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%,少数几个种类的数量减少了90%,例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们,生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近,鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少,魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎,使这些物种的数量迅速减少。
Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.
鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里,便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼,或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港,上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承,他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉,并且他表示,鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍,这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。
Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.
不错,鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样,要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物,比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化,尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。
Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.
值得庆幸的是,在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中,许多都是中国人,比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明,就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港,鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴,但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外,在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天,鱼翅的身价已大不如前。
In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.
在加拿大,许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率,在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了,为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些,我们的朋友也不介意,再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值,”她表示。“所以,我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实,这有什么必要呢?

+ 加入清单shark-skin like swimsuit
A new high-performance swimsuit,developed by mimicking the skin of sharks,will be worn by top athletes in Athens from this week.
The revolutionary new fabric,developed by Speedo,is the result of four years of research and development that began with the study of shark skin at the Natural History Museum .
The new swimsuit,called Fastskin FSII,increases a swimmers speed by reducing passive drag through water by up to 4% more than the next best swimsuit.
Research into shark skin texture and movement through water was carried out under the guidance of Natural History Museum fish expert Ollie Crimmen.
Tiny teeth cover the surface of a sharks skin and the shape and positioning of these teeth vary across the body to manage the flow of water.
With these findings Speedo created a full bodyskin with different fabrics on different parts of the body and for the first time,male- and female-specific and stroke-specific swimsuits.

+ 加入清单Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to
improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many
physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into
farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or
hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining
marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。
However, mans changes to the physical environment have not always had
beneficial results。 Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing
danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of
the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of
industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution
of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being
changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。
Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know,
massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even
poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will
mean mitting suicide。 Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws
passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise,man is certain to suffer from the
serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living
surroundings。

There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be
unlimited。
Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up
our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If
we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive。
We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be
none left。 Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught。We
know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear。 Yet, we
continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that
if rivers are polluted with waste products, we will die。 Yet, waste products
are
still put into rivers。
We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a
few years, there wont be enough food。What can we do to solve these
problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available。
Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are
kept。
Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods
of birth control。
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a
better and cleaner planet in the future。

studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild
giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that
made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant
panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not
true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and
they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the
policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is
increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it
is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the

+ 加入清单Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can
see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will
continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.
Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece
of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not
see these animals in the near future.
From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of
animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of
fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and
these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals
in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of
nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal
action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws
to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to
protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our
environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and
our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a
sustainable development.

+ 加入清单Recently, our efforts to protect wild animals was questioned by the public,
because the news is keep reporting that more and more wild animals was killed by
human beings, especially the very precious one. Innocent animals was dead for
their meat, fur and tooth, it was just used to fill up human beings desire. In
my point of view, the wild animals were protected effectively still has a long
way to go.
Firstly, people should try harder to make a better place for animals. The
land where the wild animals live was deprived by human being. For hundreds
years, people cut the trees to make land for their living and farming, wild
animals homeland was took, they have no choice but run away. What is more,
human beings break the food link in nature; wild animals can not find enough
food to keep alive. There is no doubt that the destruction of nature has become
a big problem to kill wild animal, for instance, a polar bear was starved to
death because of the greenhouse effect, the ice was melt away, the seadog and
fish that polar bear like to eat are far away from them. For those reasons,
people should protect the environment first if they want to protect wild animals
effectively.
Second, no buying, no killing. Some rich people like to wear fur coat, they
treat it as a status symbol, especially for rich woman, they think animal fur is
beautiful and warm, they will never consider that the fur they wear for years is
the skin that animal wear for their whole life, and they knew how bloody when
people took the fur from animal but they choose to ignore it. If people do not
buy the fur and tooth, lots of wild animals will be survived.
In sum, wild animals are our friends, we should give back and protect their
homeland, and stop buying their body part, or our future generations will see
them in zoo and museum.

+ 加入清单Chinahas a very long and brilliant history, whose people are so friendly
and hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to
the environment and nature. In many places of the countryside, rivers have
become stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs
the scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles
and bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some
towns, rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use,
making cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the
rubbish.
This lack of consideration for nature in general is extremely detrimental
to children’s education, toChina’s image, to public health, to tourism and to
the future.Chinais the common treasure of all Chinese, and we should live up to
be a member of this big family, a descendant of 5000-year-plus ancient civilized
country. I think the environment must absolutely be strictly protected by all
means. This protection should go at the same pace as the marvelous development
of the nation.
In this respect,Germanyis a rare model and leaves me a very deep
impression. After you have an exciting tour around in this country for a week or
so, it is unnecessary for you to polish your leather shoes. Personally, first of
all, the strong awareness of people’s environmental protection; then, the
advanced technology applied in the field of preserving the nature; We can learn
form others in building China into one of the most environmentally friendly
