关于保护熊猫的英语(汇编20篇)

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.

Although people are now said to protect animals, but there are a lot of people wrong-headed, continue to hunt animals, cause many animals to the road to extinction. Humans and animals to see, sold at the same time, made from animal skins coat... But these people ever think, if you are an animal, are hunted by humans, what would you think? Some people say: "Im not a animal." But now hunted animals, animals would like to have? No, never. Although some people know how to care for the animals, but they will only pretending to go to the education of others, and themselves but also damage the environment, killing animals, so enthusiastic tasting animal meat is delicious. Take the puppy around us, for instance, although not a national secondary other rare animals, but also our good partners, whether master how to use it, it still is very dedicated, but humans find dog meat is delicious, began to kill the dog.

Now, some animals have almost extinct, take the crocodile, for instance, although it is very fierce, but humans are more fierce. And in the eyes of human beings, crocodile skin can be made into the luggage, handbags, wallets, shoes and other goods. Because of some organs from animals has the prominent economic value, thus become a subject of human plunder use, become the main factor of extinct animals. So the crocodile, has now become almost extinct animals.

Animal friends, a lot of destruction of human will have serious adverse consequences, ecological environment caused by serious imbalance, so that the human living environment is destroyed. Eliminate animal, is to eliminate human oneself, if one day the animals in the world are gone, that human can survive? To protect animals, cherish this nature of every creature! Let us start from now, to protect animals, make the world a better place!

虽然人们现在都说要保护动物，但是还有很多人执迷不悟，继续猎杀动物，导致许多动物都走向了灭绝的道路。同时人类还拿动物来观赏、卖钱，用兽皮做大衣……但这些人有没有想过，如果你是一只动物，却遭到了人类的猎杀，你会怎么想?有些人说：“我又不是动物。”但是现在人类大量捕杀动物，动物会愿意吗?不，永远不会。有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物，可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人，而自己却照样破坏环境，猎杀动物，照样兴致勃勃的品尝动物鲜美的肉。就拿我们身边的小狗来说吧，虽然不是国家一二级别的珍贵动物，但也是我们身边的好伙伴，不管主人怎么使唤它，它仍然很兢兢业业，可是人类发现狗肉鲜美，就开始捕杀小狗。

现在，有些动物已经快要灭绝了，就拿鳄鱼来说吧，它虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。而在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

朋友们，动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态环境严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己，如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧!让我们从现在做起，保护动物，使世界变得更加美好吧!

The panda is one of the animals most in danger.There are about 1,000 pandas living in nature reserves today.Zoos and research centres look after about 160 pandas.Scientists are studying how they live and more baby pandas are born in the zoos.

熊猫是最濒危动物之一。大约有1000只大熊猫生活在自然保护区的今天。动物园和研究中心照顾大约有160只熊猫。科学家正在研究它们怎样生活，更多的熊猫宝宝出世在动物园。

Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China.The mainly live on bamboo,and each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day.The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different reasons ,so pandas have less and less land to live on .Pandas don’t have many babies,and baby pandas often die,The situation is becoming very serious.

熊猫生活在中国西南部的森林和山脉。主要以竹子为生，每只熊猫每天需要吃大量的竹子。竹子的地区越来越小为许多不同的理由，所以熊猫居住的土地越来越少。没有很多婴儿熊猫，小熊猫经常模具，情况变得非常严重。

Our govemment is working hard to save pandas.There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough .The government has made a new plan to help pandas.The nature reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow better.Then the pandas will have enough food to eat and enough places to live in.Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.

我们的政府正在努力拯救大熊猫。有30个自然保护区来保护大熊猫，但这些是不够的。政府已经制定了一项新计划来帮助熊猫。自然保护区将会变大，竹子将更好。那么熊猫将有充足的食物和足够的地方居住。熊猫在动物园出世可以回到自然保护区生活。

Most people love pandas.The panda is one of the best-known animals in the world.It is the symbol for the World Wide Fund For Nature.The WWF works to protect all animals in danger,so the panda has become the symbol of all animals in danger.There is still a long way to go to save the panda.Think of other animals in danger such as tigers ,whales,turtles and elephants-we need to save the panda,and we need to save them,too.

大多数人都喜欢大熊猫。熊猫是世界上最著名的动物之一。它是世界自然基金会的象征。世界自然基金会旨在保护所有濒危动物，所以熊猫已成为所有濒危动物的象征。还有很长的路去拯救大熊猫。认为危险，如老虎，鲸的其他动物，海龟和大象，我们要拯救大熊猫，也我们需要拯救他们。

[英语作文：保护学校环境

Cars and Air Pollution

Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death.

One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars completely replace the traditional ones. Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.

On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.

ladies and gentlemen, i want to say something about trees. as we know now trees are very important to human beings. first of all, they benefit our health.

[保护环境为题目的英语作文

可爱的大熊猫同学们，你们知道人们经常说的“中国国宝”是谁吗?啊哈，那就是憨态可掬的大熊猫。

大熊猫是世界上最珍贵的动物之一，数量十分稀少，属于国家一级保护动物。现存的大熊猫主要的栖息地在中国四川，陕西，甘肃等周边山区。熊猫其实是杂食动物，多数人认为熊猫只吃竹子，其实熊猫也吃水果，肉类，饿的时候也会吃一些小动物。 暑假里，妈妈带我去动物园。在动物园里，看到了许多动物，但最好玩的就是那憨态可掬的大熊猫。 它胖乎乎、圆滚滚的，很逗人喜爱。他们的头部和身体都是白色的，只有眼圈、耳朵、肩部和腿是黑褐色的。特别是那一对黑黑的眼圈长在白白的脸上，像是带着一副墨镜，加上那笨拙的动作和走起路来东张西望的神情，显得非常可爱。

动物园里的大熊猫，经过训练，还会表演许多节目呢!我最喜欢看大熊猫翻跟斗。它缩成一团，活像个大皮球。 熊猫睡觉时，也不老实。有时，它用前爪轻轻地拍着肚子;有时，它两腿一蹬，就翻个身。我还以为它睡醒了，其实它还在睡。它睡醒了就翻身起来，用手揉揉眼睛，好奇的望望人们。 熊猫吃东西的时候，常常直着身子盘腿坐下，前爪抓住鲜嫩的竹子往嘴里送。它爱吃鲜嫩的竹叶。吃饱了，还得用水润润喉咙。它走到水池边，俯下身子，前腿靠着池边，低下头，咕嘟咕嘟的喝起来。看它那副模样，真是让人发笑。 熊猫是世界上的珍贵动物，是动物园中的宠儿。它的一举一动，都会给成千上万的游人增添无穷的乐趣。

同学们，让我们一起来保护熊猫吧!

Animals are our friends.But how to protect them? government is working to protect all animals in danger,and has made lots of plans to save animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals.We should keep them away from our dinner. That way,there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer.

Last, we should protect the environment.We should stop people from cutting trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their home. And we will lose our animal friends. All of us should try our best to protect animals.

We need to protect animals better.We should give them fresh water to drink.We should make the forests bigger for animals in danger to live in.We should advice people not to kill animals beacause they are our friends!

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people can afford a car。 As a result， our roads are more often than not crammed with cars。 However， with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars， the problem of air pollution bees even more serious。 So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life。

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars。By riding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment。 Why not have a try， my dear friends?

在我家后面有一棵郁郁葱葱的大树，有鸟爸爸、鸟妈妈和鸟宝宝组成的一家住在大树上。

There is a big tree behind the house a wild profusion of vegetation, there is a big bird, bird in the father mother and baby birds consisting of.

一天，我吃完饭来到后院散步，一只饥饿的小猫咪正往树上爬，它心想：我一定要吃掉树上这几只肥嫩的小鸟，就不用饿肚子了。它不怀好意的偷笑着，它一边笑一边爬。这一幕刚好被我看到了，我心想：不能让小猫伤害了小鸟一家。我顺手拿起一块石头向小猫丢去，小猫咪“喵”的一声吓跑了，小鸟一家得救了。

One day, I went to the backyard for a walk after dinner, a hungry cat climbing the tree, she thinks: I must eat the tree of the few fat birds, not hungry. Its a harbour evil designs laughing, laughing and climb it. This scene is just I saw, I thought to myself: dont let the cat hurt a bird. I picked up a stones throw to the cat, the cat "meow" sound off, a bird saved.

大树看到了，树枝摇动着，仿佛在说：“这真是一个懂得爱护动物的好孩子啊!”

The tree branches saw, shaking, as if to say: "this is really a good child know how to care for the animal!"

Now, some animals have disappeared, and then take crocodile is close to extinction, though very fierce, but humans are more fierce. Because of some organs from animals has the prominent economic value, thus become a subject of human plunder use, become the main factor of extinct animals. Crocodile with sharp teeth, and huge appetite for food, we all said the crocodile, but more afraid of human, the crocodile in the eyes of human, the crocodile can be made into the luggage, handbags, wallets, shoes and other goods, so the crocodile, has now become almost extinct animals.

Animal friends, a lot of destruction of human will have serious adverse consequences, ecological environment caused by serious imbalance, so that the human living environment is destroyed. Eliminate animal, is to eliminate human oneself, if one day the animals in the world are gone, that human can survive? To protect animals, cherish this nature of every creature! Let us start from now, starts from me, to protect the animals, make the world a better place! To protect animals, is to protect human oneself.

现在，有些动物已经灭绝了，就拿快要灭绝的鳄鱼来说，虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。鳄鱼长着锐利的牙齿，和硕大的食物胃口，我们都说鳄鱼可怕，但鳄鱼更怕人类，在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品，所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

朋友们，动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态环境严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己，如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧!让我们从现在做起，从我做起，保护动物，使世界变得更美好吧!保护动物，就是保护人类自己。

Environmental protection is everyones responsibility, we all know! But now the environment is not optimistic, such as: someone spit on the ground, someone littering, still pulling weeds, folding flowers. These are nothing, because some people, not only protect the environment, but also damage the environment. Because of the existence of this kind of person, so only in the sharp deterioration in environment, so we should protect the environment, more to damage the environment should be discouraged. In this way, the tree will be much, grass and flowers also lush, natural, such as dust storms disaster would not have happened!

Today, I let you see how should protect the environment. Some people might say, put a few piece of propaganda to protect the environment in the city brand is not good, in fact, this idea is wrong. Someone may say: this is not a propaganda to protect the environment? Of course not, because there are two reasons: 1, some people may watch brand every day, so I wont join the team to protect the environment. Will likely continue to destroy the environment and bad habits. 2, is the man looking at, but he didnt want to join the ranks to or dont want to protect the environment. From these two points can illustrate just a few propaganda brand is useless. Which someone may be eagerly asked: what! Method is very simple, as long as their faith to protect the environment, the people around will follow suit yourself!

The first step to protect the environment: learn how to protect the environment. Requirements: oneself to voluntarily protect the environment, not even in your environment, so that you even pipe request wont be able to reach others. To protect the environment the second step: advice others to protect the environment. Requirements: if see people littering or spitting, etc., should be up to dissuade immediately. Of course also want tube that yourself! To protect the environment the third step: make a collective to protect the environment. Requirement: let the dozens of people and as a collective, and protect the environment. If you do this at 3 o clock, then you are an "environmental small guards"!

This is my idea of protecting the environment. I now are trying to protect the environment, and you?

保护环境是大家的职责，大家都知道吧!但是现在的环境状况却不容乐观，比如：有人在地上吐痰，有人乱扔垃圾，还有人拔草、折花。这些都不算什么，因为还有些人，不仅不保护环境，而且还破坏环境。因为有这种人的存在，所以环境才在急剧恶化，因此我们要多加保护环境，对破坏环境的人应该劝阻。这样，树就会多了，草和花也茂盛了，自然，沙尘暴之类的灾难就不会发生了!

今天，我就让大家来看看应该怎样保护环境。有些人可能会说：在城市里放几块宣传保护环境的牌子不就好了吗，其实，这种想法是错误的。有人可能会说了：这不是在宣传保护环境吗?当然不是，因为这里有两点原因：1，有一些人有可能每天都不看牌子，所以就不会加入到保护环境的队伍中去。习惯差的，还有可能继续破坏环境。2，那个人看是看了，但他不想加入到这个行列中去或是根本就不想保护环境。从这两点可以说明光是几块宣传的牌子是没用的。哪有人可能会急切地问道：那该怎么办!办法很简单，只要自己要保护环境的信心，自己身边的人也会跟着做的!

保护环境第一步：自己学会保护环境。要求：自己要自觉地保护环境，不能连自己都在破坏环境，这样你就连管别人的要求都达不到了。保护环境第二步：劝告别人保护环境。要求：如果见别人乱扔垃圾或吐痰等，应该立即上去劝阻。当然自己也要管得知自己哟!保护环境第三步：让一个集体保护环境。要求：让几十个人并成一个集体，并保护环境。如果你这三点都做到了，那你就是一个“保护环境小卫士”了!

这就是我保护环境的观点。我现在也在努力保护环境，你呢?

Tiger is one of the most valueable animals to human beings today. It is somehow like a cat, but much bigger than it. It lives in the forest, and feeds on small animals.

Nowadays, the number of the wild tiger is becoming small and small. Maybe there will be no tiger any more if people continue cutting the trees, destorying the living environment or hunt the tiger just for the skin. We must stop all these mistakes. We should protect them, because the world without tiger is not a completed one.

老虎是现在对人类最有价值的动物之一。它的外形有点像猫，但是比猫大很多。它生活在林中，以小动物为食。

现如今，野生老虎的数量越来越少。如果人类再不停止砍伐树木，不停止毁坏生存环境，不停止为虎皮而猎杀老虎，也许有一天老虎就会灭亡。我们必须终止这些错误。我们应该保护老虎，因为没有老虎的世界不是一个完整的世界。

Low-carbon life means a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

Then，how can we live a lowcarbon life?Firstly，we should recognize that the lowcarbon life is not only a kind of lifestyle but also a life attitude.Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases in our daily actions.To combat climate change we have to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.Secondly，we should develop good habits in our daily life.Paper cups are made from cutting forests.We should try not to use them because trees can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce greenhouse gases.Similarly，lights should be turned off when they are not used，which will greatly reduce electricity consumption.

In a word，small actions above can make a big difference.

The animal is the friend of our human beings. We live in the same earth.

Animals and human beings can’t be separated from each other. But some animals

are getting less and less. So it’s necessary for us to protect animals,

especially wild animals. Some people kill wild animal because of money. It’s

illegal. Beside, because of the development of society, human needs more space

to live in, so we explore the forest. Animals have less space to live in. The

number of wild animals decreases year by year. It’s high time to take actions to

protect wild animals.

At that time, I was in first grade, also do not understand love small animals.

That day, my mother bought me two little ducks. I am very happy, put the two little ducks in the box, hearing the cry of them, my mood is very good.

The next day, I want to let my classmates to my house to see my duck, I call the classmate, let him come. He looked at the duck, also feel very funny. We put a small duck on the ground, it took a few steps forward and then fell down, it caught up, and fell down, and we laughed. We play enough, threw the little duck into the box, to play with toys.

In the afternoon, my father and I went to see the little duck, saw a duck belly up, wings and feet in the shaking, its called the voice is very big, like crying. Dad hand a little duck, duck down again. I suddenly remembered I throw little duck into the box, ah! I am a murderer! I cried. Little duck finally died, I was sad.

From then on, I began to take care of small animals.

那时，我才上一年级，还不懂爱护小动物。

那天，我妈妈给我买了两只小鸭子。我很高兴，把两只小鸭子放在箱子里，听着它们的叫声，我的心情非常的好。

第二天，我想让同学到我家看看我的鸭子，我给同学打电话，让他来。他看了鸭子，也觉得很好玩。我们把一只小鸭子放在地上，它向前走了几步就摔倒了，它抓了起来，又摔倒了，我们哈哈大笑。我们玩够了，就把小鸭子扔进了箱子里，去玩玩具了。

下午，我和爸爸去看小鸭子，看见一只鸭子肚子朝上，翅膀和脚在抖动，它叫的声音很大，好像在哭一样。爸爸把小鸭子扶起来，小鸭子又倒了。我突然想起来我把小鸭子扔进箱子里的事，呀!我是杀人凶手呀!我哭了。小鸭子最后死了，我很伤心。

从那时起，我就开始爱护小动物了。

We live in nature, nature is very important to us. If we dont take care of it, the natural disaster will befall mankind.

But, because of a shortage of people environmental protection consciousness, there are some people throwing garbage everywhere, some pet, or at the side of the road. There are some busy people to go outside to eat fast food, leftovers lost carelessly. There are some people throwing paper everywhere, those paper lying on the road, just like a damage to the environment of the devil. There are some factories at the thick black smoke, the sky got dark. Some factories discharge wastewater flow into rivers, leading to the river black and stink, lots and lots of fish died. Some people are disorderly cut down trees, land became bare. Without trees, the air quality is affected, many living things disappear from lack of oxygen. There are some people in the river after eating, was thrown into the river, originally the clear river water becomes dirty and smelly ditch, passing all over your nose.

For the sake of our environment, I want to be with those people say: "please dont damage the environment, or natural disaster will befall mankind. If again so continue to destroy, the whole earth will disappear. The end of the world will always be coming.

The earth is my home, to protect the environment depends on everybody. Let us act together to protect our lovely earth!

我们生活在大自然里，大自然对我们非常重要。如果我们不爱护它，自然灾害就会降临到人类。

可是，由于人们环保意识不足，有一些人就随地扔垃圾，一些宠物就在路边随地大小便。有一些工作繁忙的人就到外面吃快餐，剩饭剩菜随手乱丢。有一些人随地扔纸团，那些躺在公路上的纸团，就像一个个破坏环境的魔鬼。还有一些工厂冒着浓浓的黑烟，把天空弄得黑乎乎的。有些工厂里排放出来的污水流进江河里，导致河水变黑、变臭，许许多多的鱼死亡。有些人就乱砍树木，土地变得裸露了。没有了树木，空气质量受到影响，许多生物因为缺氧而消失。有一些人在河边吃完东西，就往河里扔，原本清澈的河水变成了又脏又臭的水沟，路过的人都捂鼻而过。

为了我们的环境，我要跟那些人说：“请你们不要再破坏环境了，否则自然灾害就会降临到人类。如果再这样继续破坏的话，整个地球就会消失。世界末日始终会到来。

地球是我家，保护环境靠大家。让我们一起行动起来，保护我们这个美丽可爱的地球吧!

大熊猫，乃是国家之宝，全世界只有1000多只。熊猫胖胖的身体，肥肥的爪子，贪吃的嘴巴，总会给我们大家留下很深的印象。

大熊猫五分像熊，五分像猫，怪不得人们叫它熊猫。它胖胖的身体，肥肥的四肢，还有那特大号“墨镜”。可能是熊猫经常熬夜，熬出来的黑眼圈吧。熊猫的毛看着非常光滑，毛茸茸的耳朵不时地伸缩，好像在倾听什么。熊猫的尾巴很短。四肢黑黑的，走起来屁股一扭一扭的，逗得我们不笑都不行。

它吃竹子的时候也很有趣，先是紧紧地抓住竹子，生怕有人抢走了美食。接着，它左一口，右一口，津津有味地吃着。它吃竹子时从不“三心二意”我连叫了它好几声它都不理我。它吃完竹子，用那胖胖的爪子擦了擦嘴，就懒洋洋地躺在床上一动不动地。

这一幕，惹得人们合不拢嘴。突然，大熊猫坐了起来，用爪子摸摸脑袋，用好奇的眼光望着我们，好像在说：“怎么了，出了什么事情吗?你们在笑什么呢?”它这一动作更是让我们笑得前仰后合，熊猫做出无奈的样子，然后在地上翻了个筋斗，像个皮球似的在地上翻滚着。人们看到了连声叫好，大熊猫好像明白了大家的意思，迈着骄傲的步子走到围栏边，一挥手，又往回走，像领导视察似的，我们先是一愣，随后哄堂大笑。

大熊猫虽然很贪吃，但我把它那种贪吃当做可爱;熊猫虽然很笨拙，但我把它那种笨拙当做幽默。它不像狮子那样厉害，不像猴子那样机灵，但它比狮子温驯，比猴子可爱。这就是大熊猫，多么可爱啊!

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?

[保护鲨鱼的英语作文

Environmental protection, the subject, is a household name, everyone knows. But in real life, some people still dont too seriously, think small, in my opinion, environmental protection should start from the pretty little things. I have experienced such two things: one day, I go to the supermarket to buy things, quickly to the door of the supermarket, see several send out flyers, see to, see cars, but some people dont, casually throw on the ground, I used the paper in the trash. Saw the two men, the propaganda time with glue on the wall, from a distance, like pieces of "psoriasis" while they do not pay attention to, and I took out my skills "tearing work", ha ha, I get rid of a large "psoriasis" is. At another time, I play in the bottom of a floor, find the distance on the grass up whereas white smoke, a closer look, it turns out that there is a group of children in our class burning grass, grass black a large, I hurriedly stop as a big brother, and about the dangers of fire and the importance of environmental protection. They are ashamed, quickly the coming water from the nearby end extinguish fire, finished burning grass action.

We human beings are living on a planet, that is the earth. On earth, have for the oxygen we breathe, there are dense forests, vast grasslands, boundless sea, all kinds of animals, constitute the beauty of nature.

I think loudly called on the people: the earth belongs to our human, belongs to all of us, as long as with our hands, starts from me, starts from everyone, protect the environment, the love of the earths natural resources, make clear pond water still flowed in the home, flowers in full bloom the flowers still.

Human ah, should be time to wake up, open your eyes and look around us, this is our home, let us from now on, wash his with their own hands, with their own wisdom, with their own conscience, for our children and grandchildren keep a harmonious and beautiful homeland, let us make an efforts to us from generation to generation for survival!

环境保护，这个话题，可以说是家喻户晓，人人皆知。但在现实生活中，一些人还是不太重视，认为微不足道，在我看来，环保要从件件小事做起。我就经历过这样两件小事：有一天，我去超市买东西，快到超市门口时，看见有几个散发宣传单的，见人就给，见车就放，可是有些人却不要，随手就扔地上，我过去将纸扔进垃圾箱里。又看见两个人用胶水将宣传单贴在墙上，远远望去，活像一块块“牛皮癣”趁他们不注意，我又拿出我的绝活“撕纸功”，哈哈，“牛皮癣”被我除掉了一大片。还有一次，我在楼底玩，发现远处草地上冒出了缕缕白烟，走近一看，原来，是我们班一群小孩在那里点火烧草，草黑了一大片，我以大哥哥的身份连忙制止，并讲了火灾的危险性和环保的重要性。他们羞愧难当，赶忙从附近端来水把火熄灭，结束了烧草行动。

我们人类都生活在一个星球上，那就是地球。地球上，有供我们呼吸的氧气，还有茂密的森林、辽阔的草原、无边无际的海洋、各种各样的动物，构成了美丽的大自然。

我想大声呼吁人们：地球属于我们人类，属于我们大家，只要用我们的双手，从我做起，从人人做起，保护环境，爱护地球上的自然资源，让清澈的塘水依旧流淌在家乡，让花儿依旧那样鲜花盛开。

人类啊，是应该觉醒的时候了，睁开眼，看看我们的周围，这是我们的家园啊，让我们从此金盆洗手，用自己的双手，用自己的智慧，用自己的良心，为我们的子子孙孙留下一个和谐、美丽的家园吧，让我们为我们世世代代的绵延生存做出一份努力吧!

It is known to everyone that the unrestrained slaughter of wild animals has diminished the number of some endangered species. More and more species are being driven to extinction every year. It is terrible to think that magnificent animals are being sacrificed to human vanity

There are already laws enacted to prevent the importation of rare animals and the products made from their flesh, skin and bones.

These laws must be strictly enforced. Violators of these laws must be severely punished .Moreover, the public must be informed about the natural treasures we stand to lose .If we don’t take immediate action, we will be depriving future generations of our most precious heritage.

In Taiwan, because most people do not understand the importance of wildlife, the wildlife is in a poor situation. We Chinese are fond of eating anything delicious, so there are many animals killed by hunters. People enjoy eating tigers, bears, birds, and lions, so there are fewer and fewer birds flying in the sky and fewer and fewer bears running here and there in the forest. Instead, we often see them for sale at the market. How poor they are! And how cruel we are!

In my opinion, we should try every possible way to preserve wildlife. First, no one is allowed to hurt any wild animal. Second, the authorities concerned should punish those who kill any wild animal. Third, we should pay more attention to those endangered species to protect them from being eaten. If we can do so, nature must become very beautiful.
