保护动物的初二英语作文20篇

我曾经听到过这样一句话：“每一个生命都有一段故事，每一个生命都是一个不朽的传奇。”或许你会说：“有谁在意过一只小小的蚂蚁?它虽有生命，但不值一提。”如果你这样想就错了，每一个生命来到这个世界上都不容易，所以，请尊重每一个生命。

10月5日下午，我跟着德州晚报的小记者去德州人民公园里的动物园去看那些大自然的精灵——动物们。一进门就看到一只大灰狼，懒懒地趴在笼子里的地上。老师说：“它是狗的近亲。”嘿，长得还真像一只大狗。它对我们的到来一点儿也不感兴趣，眯着双眼理都不理。别看它现在老实，可是我知道，在草原上可是连豹子都不敢轻易招惹它的，威风得很呢。继续往前走，我们还看到了高大的双峰驼、笨重的黑熊、健壮的果下马、美丽的孔雀、凶猛的老虎、强壮的狮子。小时候，我走到这里就不敢走了，跟个老鼠似的躲在爸爸怀里，不敢抬头。现在想起来还挺不好意思呢。一会儿就来到了我最喜欢的猴山，里面有好多猴子，你追我跑，爬上爬下，一个个玩得兴高采烈，猴王高高地坐在山顶，傲然地看着它的子民，还真有大王的样子呢。我们都哈哈地笑了起来。

出了动物园，我们又去了旁边的趣味园。这是让游人和动物们亲密接触的地方，人们在这里可以亲手喂动物吃东西，还能轻轻地抚摸它们呢。

这次参观动物园我有了深深地感触：动物们也是地球大家庭中的一员，它们和我们一样也有生存的权利，它们是我们的朋友，是我们的邻居。我们应该去了解它们，爱护它们。这样我们的地球才能健康、美好，才能更加丰富多彩!

导语：熊猫不仅是中国最稀有的珍贵动物，而且已成为世界上最珍贵最稀有的动物，世界各大动物园内每种有绝灭危险的珍稀动物笼前要悬挂熊猫为图案的徽志。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

The giantPanda(Ailuropoda melanoleuca) ("black-and-white cat-foot") is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wild and over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China (another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221[4])， with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg (253 pounds)。 Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg (220 pounds)。 Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.[citation needed]

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

Diet

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.

大熊猫(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)(“黑白猫脚”)是哺乳动物被分类在熊的家族，熊科，原产于中国西部和西南部的中央。这是很容易认识到它的大，独特的黑色斑块周围的眼睛，耳朵和圆身体上的。虽然技术上的一种食肉动物，熊猫的食物98%是竹子。然而，他们可以吃其他食物，如蜂蜜、鸡蛋、鱼和山药。

大熊猫是一种濒危的动物;大约有3000只野生大熊猫和180报道住在囚禁在2006八月在中国大陆，二十只大熊猫生活在中国，[引文需要]然而，报告显示，野生大熊猫的数量正在上升。

大熊猫一直是最喜欢的公众，至少在部分上事实上的物种一个吸引人的婴儿般的可爱，使它看起来像一个活的泰迪熊的帐户。事实上，它通常描绘安静地吃竹子，而不是狩猎，也增加了其无辜的形象。虽然大熊猫是因为他们经常认为温顺可爱，人们一直认为他们会攻击人类，通常认为是刺激而不是掠夺行为。

大熊猫有一个非常独特的黑白外套。成人测量约1.5米长，约75厘米高的肩膀。雄性的体重可达115公斤(约253磅)，雌性通常比雄性小，有时体重可达100公斤(约220磅)，大熊猫生活在山区，如四川、甘肃、和西藏。而中国龙历来为中国国徽，下半年的第二十世纪以来，大熊猫也已成为中国的一个非正式的国徽。它的形象出现在大量的现代中国纪念银，金，白金硬币。

大熊猫有一种不寻常的爪子，用拇指和五指;“拇指”实际上是一个修改sesamoid骨，这有助于保持竹子熊猫吃。斯蒂芬·杰·古尔德写了一篇关于这个的文章，然后用熊猫拇指的书名作为一本有关进化论和智能设计的论文。大熊猫有一条短尾巴，长约15厘米。大熊猫通常可以活到20-30岁，而生活在圈养。

直到最近，科学家们还认为大熊猫独自度过了大部分的生命，只有在繁殖季节，雄性和雌性才会相遇。最近的研究描绘了一幅不同的画面，其中一小群熊猫共享一大片领土，有时在繁殖季节外相遇。

和大多数亚热带哺乳动物一样，但与大多数熊不同，大熊猫不冬眠。

饮食

在华盛顿国家动物园的大熊猫吃竹子，d.c.despite分类学分类为一种食肉动物，熊猫有饮食主要是草食性的，其中包括几乎全部的竹子。这是进化上最近的适应。熊猫缺乏适当的酶来有效地消化竹子，因此从中获得的能量和蛋白质很少。

而主要食草，大熊猫仍然保留果断的牙齿，要吃的肉，鱼，蛋当可用。在圈养，动物园通常维持大熊猫的竹子的饮食，虽然有些将提供专门配方饼干或其他膳食补充剂。

在生活中，每个人都知道“保护动物，人人有责”!可是真正做到保护动物的人，却只有很少很少。我也伤害过动物。

前几天，学校门口有卖乌龟和乌龟蛋的小贩。出于好奇，我也买了一个乌龟蛋玩玩。椭圆形的小龟蛋光滑极了，摸上去特别有趣。一路上，我开心地把玩着这小小的龟蛋，脚步也加快了不少。回到家里，当我拿着龟蛋正准备装沙子时，突然手一滑，龟蛋像一块石头似的落到了地上。可龟蛋终究是龟蛋，龟蛋终究不是石头。只听“啪”的一声，龟蛋早已粉身碎骨。看着碎了一地的龟蛋，我并没有对它有任何同情之心，也没有对自己的行为感到惭愧，反倒为那一元钱觉得可惜。我不禁对龟蛋责备道：“好你个乌龟蛋，害我白白花了一元钱，买什么不好，偏偏要了你这么个小东西……”

今天，突然接到老师的通知，要我写一篇关于保护野生动物的征文。我突然回想起几天前发生的事情，心里充满了后悔。是呀，动物是我们的朋友，我们应该保护它们。龟蛋破了并不是龟蛋的错，而是我的错。如果不是我从小贩那儿把它买来，它又怎会遭到“粉身碎骨”?如果不是小贩把龟蛋从沙滩上带来卖，龟蛋又怎么会离开父母?如果不是……太多的如果，弥补不了我对小乌龟造成的伤害。

“保护动物，人人有责”，从今天开始，让我们一起来保护动物吧!让它们也能自由、快乐地成长!

Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.

We need to protect small animals, especially chickens this kind of small animals, because chickens can call in the morning we wake up, can have another round of eggs, chicken can also provide for us.

On one occasion, my mother and I serving market, hear an old woman Shouting: "chicken, chicken fat and tender today!" Mother said: "today, we buy a chicken home, stew to drink." I said: "ok." But wanted to think: if we ate chicken, then you cant eat eggs, he said to mother: "no, eat the chicken, there is no egg." "The silly child, you fuck what blind heart!" Mother threw themselves to pull me to the other side of the chicken. Granny is kill chicken chicken, she plucked chickens neck hair, the knife in chicken neck hard a few strokes. Chicken blood spray to the surrounding, struggled for a few times and he died. "So cruel, I dont want to eat chicken!" My mother to protest loudly. "Well, dont buy, we will go to buy some vegetables." Maybe my mother also feel cruel, agreed.

If our life does not have the animal, the world will become very lonely. , we need to protect animals from oneself: eat less meat, less wear leather sweater; See someone humiliate animal, to bravely to come forward to persuade them.

To protect animals, everyone duty!

我们要保护小动物，特别是小鸡这类弱小的动物，因为小鸡早晨可以叫我们起床，可以生一个又一个圆圆的的鸡蛋，还可以提供鸡肉给我们吃。

有一次，我和妈妈上菜市场，听见一位老奶奶在喊：“卖鸡了，今天的鸡又肥又嫩!”妈妈说：“今天，我们买一只鸡回家，炖汤喝。”我说：“好吧。”可又想了想：如果我们吃了鸡，那么就吃不到鸡蛋了，就对妈妈说：“不行，吃了鸡就没有鸡蛋吃了。”“傻孩子，你瞎操什么心啊!”妈妈不由分说地把我拉到卖鸡的那边。卖鸡的老奶奶正在杀鸡，只见她拔下鸡脖子上的毛，拿刀用力地在鸡脖子上划了几下。血喷向了四周，鸡挣扎了几下就死了。“太残忍了，我不要吃鸡!”我向妈妈大声的抗议。“好吧，不买了，我们就去买点蔬菜吧。”也许妈妈也觉得残忍，就同意了。

假如我们的生活中没有了动物，世界就会变得很孤独。我们要保护动物，从自身做起：少吃肉类食品，少穿皮衣毛衣;看见别人欺负动物，要勇敢地站出来劝说他们。

保护动物，人人有责!

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright.I visited Beijing Zoo with my classmate， He Song.The animals were so interesting that all the people loved them.When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann， a visitor threw something to it.At once I went up to him and said without thinking，Dont do that.Its bad for it.If you really love them， take good care of them。 His face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again。

Around us a little observation , air pollution, drought, flood, global warming, tsunami, earthquake and so on, was more closer to us. Caring for our earth, imminently! Not only for ourself, but for our further generations. As a teenagers, especially a college student, there are lots of things we can do to stop damaging our environment.

The last but not the least, influence our neighbors by our behavior and let more and more people care for our motherland. Caring for our earth, all of us join together, with our heart and efforts, more blue days, cleaner water, peaceful

world ,that would not be a dream!

在这个世界上，每一分钟都会有许多动物由于人类的捕杀而失去了生命。

无论天空、陆地还是海洋，只要有人类到达的地方就会有杀戮。人们为了一碗美味的鱼翅汤而大肆捕杀鲨鱼，使鲨鱼的数量急剧减少。但据科学家说，鱼翅的营养成分还不如一个鸡蛋高。不仅如此，人们还会用一种极端残忍的方法来捕杀它们。人们把鲨鱼打捞上船，用铁棒将它们打晕，割下鳍后，又会被无情地丢进大海，被人割了鳍的鲨鱼，由于无法游动，鲨鱼也没有鱼鳔，只能沉入海底，孤独地死去。当我看到那些没有了鳍的鲨鱼用尽力气，用自己仅有的尾巴拼了命地左右摇摆时，我情不自禁地想问：这些渔民还是人吗？动物也是一条生命呀！这些人怎么能如此残忍地杀害它们呢？

对于我们人类来说，看可爱的海豚表演是一件愉快的事情，可是在这精彩的表演背后，却是一幅血腥的景象。由于海豚对声音极为敏感，很小的声音对它们来说已经是震耳欲聋了。人们就利用这一点来捕杀海豚。人们故意在海中制造出很大的声音，把几百只海豚逼到一个岸边，然后放一张大网把上百只海豚困在里面，让驯养师来挑选海豚。如果被挑选上了就会被驯养师带走，而没被选上的海豚则被罪恶的鱼叉叉死，眼前是一片血海。人们为了赚到钱又把杀死的海豚送到海鲜市场去卖，供人们享用。被挑选上去演出的海豚也会很痛苦，在它们表演时，听到人们的掌声和欢呼声时会让它们产生极大的心理压力，最终它们会由于心理压力过大而选择死亡，所以人们会在表演过后给它们打针，让它们缓解压力，而海豚表演不是为了食物而是为了一针药剂。

鲨鱼游过了五湖四海，也没游出人们的餐桌；海豚翻过了惊涛骇浪，却没能翻过人们的渔网。通过这几件事我知道了，其实最残忍的动物就是人类。动物的今天也许就是人类的明天。我们不仅要热爱自己的生命，也要关爱动物的生命。我们应少喝一碗鱼翅汤，就能多救活一条鲨鱼；少看几场海豚表演，就能使海豚减轻不少压力。动物也有生命。请记住，这个蔚蓝色的星球不单单属于人类。

科学家们把现存的人类已知的动物分为无脊椎动物和脊椎动物两大类。科学家已经鉴别出46900多种脊椎动物。包括鲤鱼、黄鱼等鱼类动物，蛇、蜥蜴等爬行类动物，青蛙、娃娃鱼等两栖类动物，鸟类以及红熊猫等哺乳类动物等。下面是小编为大家精心推荐的有关于动物的英语作文，希望大家喜欢。

Dolphin is my favourite animal.

It is one of the most precious animals. Their bodies are very long, about one zhang. Dolphins live in the sea. They live on fish, shrimps and so on.

Dolphins are very friendly and peaceful. They never attack people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger in the past years. How helpful the dolphins are!

Dolphins are very clever. People often train them so that they can give a dolphin show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy.

Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins. If we don’t protect them, maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people should take actions to protect dolphins.

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?

passed away, which meant the disappearance of this lovely creature. What a great

pity. The tragedy is caused by the damaged environment, while human being must

be blamed for it, because we have done so many bad things to pollute the

rubbish and join some activities to bring the world green, like planting trees.

Every small act can make a difference. Some day, when we live with the

environment friendly, what we do is worth.

One way to get around in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai is to take a

taxi, but it’s too expensive. Many people like to go out by subway or light

rail. They are very fast and convenient. Now they are becoming more and more

popular. Buses are cheap, but they are very slow in rush hours.

If you want to see a city well, you can go out by bike. However, most

people prefer to get around in a downtown area on foot, because it’s good for

health.

these days， different ways are being taken to protect cultural identity。 obviously， not only is much contribution made to maintain old houses but also rules of laws associated with cultural protection are changed for the better。 some people even say that new buildings are right to be set up in the conventionalway。 i seem to be one of opponents who believe that the action can be unsuitable in our world。

one of the main reasons is that most of traditional buildings， in my nation， that offer provide few rooms can hardly hard to meet the demands for housing as increasing numbers of people pour into the city。 compared to before， today’s population has doubled and even trebled， which puts seriouspressure on housing supply。 as a result， new buildings must be substituted for old ones that have more efficient utility， even for some old buildings that have been damaged seriously。no doubts that building or maintaining traditional buildings is very essential to raise art sense and increase choices of people’s housing。 plus， these old houses are believed as very important resources to attract international visitors。 however， the proportionof traditional houses has to be under control， and otherwise the housing of citizens is badly affected。

overall， my view is that cultural identity is so preciousthat more efforts and measures should be taken but carefully。 the excellent tradition helps with deep understanding of history， and educates youths。 nevertheless a simple and recklessbehavior。 that new buildings are built in a typical way does more harm than good in the improvement of people’s being。

Stepping into the new century, environment pollution has become more serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as, water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on a planet which is full of pollution. Where all these pollution comes from? To a large extend, the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have more fuel, people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street, the gas stations are short of gasoline, even the government has raise the price so many times in order to control the needs of gasoline, but it’s still not working. Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance. However, the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more about the importance of environment protection. And we should find the balance between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way, our earth could be a better place to live in.

进入新世界以来，环境污染比任何时候都要严峻。有各式各样的污染：水污染，空气污染，噪音污染等等。看起来我们活着一个四周都是污染源的星球。那么，这些污染是从何而来的呢?在很大程度上，环境被破坏就是我们为快速的经济增长和人口增加所付出的惨烈代价。为了得到更多的能源，人们砍伐树木，挖更多的煤矿，但是还是难以维持日益增长的需求。不计其数的私家车充斥着公路，加油站的汽油严重短缺，政府多次上调油价也未能阻止私家车对汽油的需求。自然资源的过度利用已经影响到了生态平衡。然而，工厂依旧向外排放有毒气体，把工业废水倒入河里。人们依旧缺乏保护环境的意识。我认为人们应该做些事情了。

政府应该施行一些更为严格的法律来防止环境被进一步的破坏掉。他们应该让人们了解到保护环境的重要性。我们要在保持经济发展和环境保护中找到平衡点。在沙漠中植树造林，停止砍伐森林。禁止工厂往河流里直接排放废水。鼓励人们用交通工具上班。政府和普通民众都应该携手保护环境，让我们的家园变得干净整洁。只有这样，我们的地球才能更适合人类居住。

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。

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!

Dear editor,

I know on your school English newspaper that the readers are expected to have a discussion on the topic of protecting Traditional Chinese Culture. The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious social development. I have a strong desire to share my personal viewpoints on it.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To begin with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. What’s more, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.
