如何保护濒危动物的英语作文【汇总20篇】

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。

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。

Why should we protect wildlife animals?

Do you know of any endangered animals?Why are they in danger?

I think there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers and pandas.When farmers cut down trees,tigers can no longer hide and hunt.Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money.And there are few places where pandas can live.We are not alone in the world.We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us.So protecting wildlife animals are very important.We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed.If each of us can plant a tree and build a birdhouse,the world will be more beautiful.It is very easy but useful.

导语：人类正试图猎取野生动物以获取更大的利润，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As is often read in the newspaper reports, wild life especially the rare species is threatened with extinction. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit., which, of course, results in a sharp decrease in the number of animals. So it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. First of all, its quite necessary for every citizen to realize the importance of animal protection. Only by knowing its importance can people develop a sense of responsibility. People will surely take it for granted to have the duty to prevent any killing of wild animals. So a national publicity campaign should be launched, thus giving animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some laws to forbid any hunting of rare animals. We dont expect anything harmful to wild life to happen again.

If everyone is involved in the protection of wild life, were sure man will be a good friend of animals rather than their enemy.

【参考译文】

正如报纸上经常看到的那样，野生生物特别是稀有物种面临灭绝的危险。人类正试图猎取野生动物以获取更大的利润，当然，这会导致动物数量急剧减少。所以现在是我们采取行动保护他们的时候了。首先，每个公民意识到保护动物的重要性是很有必要的。只有认识到它的重要性，人们才能产生责任感。人们一定会想当然地认为有责任阻止野生动物的捕杀。开展全国性宣传活动，为动物创造良好的生存环境。此外，政府应该通过一些法律，禁止猎杀珍稀动物。我们不希望发生任何对野生动物有害的事情再次发生。

如果每个人都参与野生动物的保护，我们相信人类将是动物的好朋友，而不是敌人。

panda is one of the scarcest animals. people in the world like it very much.

there used to be many pandas in china long ago. as the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, pandas became less.

Whenever I go to school, she will always send me a little way, until I pretended to be angry hit it two or three, it quietly ran home. It not only can drive me to school, also like to race with me, very fast, sometimes, left me for a long walk. At ordinary times, it seems very timid, but when he saw a stranger, but not brave to open eyes of a strangers every move, also called out when key,

When I come home from school, but a dog is the most happy time. As long as the dog at home, Im on my way home from school to home some way can always see the dog at the door waiting for me. It saw me, will be shaking his tail to me on the way to here. And then bouncing around after my people predecessors. So clever dog can not likable?

I wish to raise the dog to the white white fat, because its so cute.

我喜欢的小动物是一只小狗，它全身长满白色的毛，像一团棉花糖;眼睛是圆溜溜的，像两颗宝石;耳朵是半圆形，鼻子是黑色，尾巴短短的，很可爱。

我给它爱吃的骨头，它会一块一块，一小段一小段地啃。它啃完骨头后，就会汪汪地叫几声，好像在说：“小主人，谢谢你。”

每当我去上学，她总是会送我一段路程，直到我假装生气打它两三下，它才乖乖地跑回家去。它不但会送我去上学，还喜欢和我一起赛跑，跑得十分快，有时，把我落了一段路程。平时，它看起来很胆小，但看见陌生人时，却又不失威猛地睁着双眼紧盯着陌生人的一举一动，关键时还会大声叫，

它真是一只机灵又尽忠职守的小狗啊!

我放学回家时，可算是小狗最开心的时候。只要小狗在家，我在放学回家的路上离家门口还有一段路总可看见小狗在门前等着我。它看见了我，就会摇着尾巴往我这里飞奔而来，然后在我人前人后蹦来蹦去。这么机灵的小狗能不讨人喜欢吗?

我很希望把这只小狗养得白白胖胖，因为它实在太可爱了。

我们的祖国虽然资源、物产比较丰富。可是，你知道吗?光光这些都还不够，更重要的是要注重环保!

Although our motherland is rich in resources, products. But, you know? Only these are not enough, it is more important to pay attention to environmental protection!

我觉得，政府应该多多提倡环保，多多参与环保工作，为环保做贡献，组织好环保是最关键的。你们说，是吗?

I think, the government should take to promote environmental protection, actively participate in the environmental protection work, make a contribution to protecting the environment, organization of environmental protection is the key. You say, yes?

首先，应该告诉市民，要关注每一件环保的事，积极做环保工作，不要随手扔垃圾、看到垃圾要及时捡起。其次，要把废旧电池该扔哪的问题解决好，应该把这件事给做得更完善：在一些地方分放一些回收废旧电池的筒，每天都有专门负责的人去取。这样一来，不管是住在偏远地区，还是住在热闹的地方，都可以很方便的把废旧电池处理了，再也不会发生人们不知道废旧电池怎么处理，就把废旧电池扔进垃圾箱里的事了。最后，政府应该增加一个环保工作者的职务，让更多的人投身于环保工作当中!

First of all, should tell the people, pay attention to every green thing, to do environmental protection work, do not readily throw garbage, garbage to pick up see. Secondly, to throw the waste batteries which to solve the problem, should put this thing to do better in some places put some recycling waste batteries, cylindrical, every day there are responsible for people to get. In this way, whether it is to live in the remote areas, or in the bustling place, can be very convenient to the handling of used batteries, and it wont happen again and people dont know how to deal with the waste batteries, waste batteries thrown in the garbage again. Finally, the government should increase a environmental protection worker job, let more people involved in environmental protection work!

为了环保，行动起来吧!

To be environmentally friendly, action!

"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking, calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention, but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now, streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind, isnt it?

那天我听完法制讲堂《动物也要受法律保护》以后，我对《动物保护法》有了一定的了解。我认识到了保护动物的重要性。

从我小时候和爸爸妈妈一起去动物园，我看到了我们的国宝——大熊猫。我马上就喜欢上了它们，大熊猫憨态可掬的样子很是招人喜欢。

但是，你们知道吗?所有生物都是需要保护的，其中当然也包括熊猫啦!大熊猫之所以珍贵，不仅因为它体态可爱，数量稀少，更重要的是，它是有着300万年历史的古老动物，对科学工作者研究古代哺乳动物具有珍贵的价值。因此，大熊猫有着“活化石”之称化石。汶川地震，熊猫基地的每一只小熊猫的生命都牵动着我的心。

我们一定要好好保护这一濒临灭绝的大熊猫，好好保护所有的动物。。

Environment for us, it is very important, its like a big umbrella, zhefengdangyu for us to protect our homes, if left the magic umbrella, that our home will be like the Sahara desert, a lifeless, desolate. So I want to give meaning to the world, let us together to protect the environment!

Now our side, however, the environment is worsening, I once saw a man on the side of the road just lost a piece of paper, I was very sad, think if everyone throw a piece of paper, then the world will be what are the consequences? Is terrible, and the world will become a white tips, more think more terrible, I quickly pick up the pieces of paper, thrown into the garbage can. At another time, I saw on TV a report about the environment: fujian on the other side of the river water turbidity is not clear, the fish died in the river, floating in the river every fish mouth blowing, the river still waving white trash, have small bags, candy. The scene is really horrible. Improvement in living standards of people, and their environmental protection consciousness is on the decline. And those without morality of tree, they may have thought about the benefits of trees give us? Tree for we pay so much! So many trees for our block of sandstorm and fearful tornado, these trees should have quietly thoroughly self-reflection, if there are no trees, our living environment is what? Visible at the moment we bad environment, also issued a warning to us, remind us take good care of the environment is urgently needed! I think good care environment, everyone duty, so we have to start from now, start from the side, do not spit everywhere, dont throw the paper scraps, less use notebook, can when checking the finished with the book, read the newspapers to practice calligraphy. To protect the environment as the most important work, set up environmental protection consciousness, the guardian to protect the environment.

"To protect the environment, everyone duty." I am going to put this sentence in mind, take this sentence as a seed, I will use attentive to watering it, let it grow, let the "care for the environment, everyone duty" this sentence. I believe that as long as we work together, in the near future, our environment will be getting better and better.

环境对于我们来说，是非常重要的，它就像一把大伞，为我们遮风挡雨保护我们的家园，如果离开了这把神奇的伞，那我们的家园就会像撒哈拉大沙漠一样，一片死气沉沉，荒无人烟。所以我要向全球发出意示，让我们一起保护环境吧!

然而现在我们身边，环境越来越恶化，有一次我看见一个大人在路边随便丢了一张纸，我非常伤心，心想如果每个人都丢一张废纸，那么这个世界会是什么后果呢?真是太可怕了，整个世界就会变成白色的垃圾站，越想越可怕，我急忙把这个纸片捡起来，丢进垃圾桶里。还有一次，我在电视上看见一篇有关环境的报道：福建那边的江水浑浊不清，江里的鱼都死了，浮在了江面，每条鱼的嘴里都吐着白沫，江边还飘着白色垃圾，有小食品袋，糖果皮。这一景象真是惨不忍睹。人们的生活水平在提高，自身的环保意识却在下降。还有那些没有道德的伐树者，他们可有想过树给我们带来的好处呢?树为我们人类付出了那么多!那么多树为我们挡住袭来的沙尘暴和可怕的龙卷风，这些伐树者真应该静静的好好的反省一下，如果没有了树，我们的生活环境又是什么样子呢?可见目前我们环境的恶劣，也是在向我们发出了警告，提醒我们爱护环境刻不容缓!我认为爱护环境，人人有责，所以我们要从现在做起，从身边做起，不要随地吐痰，不乱丢纸屑，少用本子，用完的本子可以当验算本，看完的报纸可以练习毛笔字。把保护环境当做最重要的工作做下去，树立环保意识，做环保守护者。

“保护环境，人人有责。”我要把这句话铭记在心，把这句话当作一颗种子，我会用细心去浇灌它，让它茁壮成长，让“爱护环境，人人有责”这句话传递下去。我相信，只要我们齐心协力，在不久的将来，我们周围的环境一定会变得越来越好。

从小，我就特别喜欢动物，我总觉得他们和我们人类一样是有感情的，有思想的，所以，无论什么时候我都尽可能的与他们好好交流，用我微薄的力量关心爱护着它们。每次周末，只要时间允许的话，我都会和爸爸妈妈到郊外去郊游，说是游玩，在欣赏美景的同时，我们会给许多需要帮助的动物搭个窝，留点食，或者宣传宣传保护动物的意义。

又是一个天朗气清的周末，我和爸爸妈妈决定去郊游。我们就在动物园旁边的草坪上野餐。中午时分，阳光照在身上暖洋洋的，躺在青青的草坪上，感受着这郊外的鸟语花香，多惬意啊!我双手叠在脑后，眼睛眯了起来……

突然，动物园里传来了一阵响声，只见一只只动物一个接着一个浩浩荡荡地跑了出来。我顺着它们跑的路线跑过去，看见同一类的动物站在一排，而高高在上的是两只狮子。两只狮子一左一右地坐着，还戴着漂亮的皇冠。这时，两只狼士兵发现了我，把我推到了两头狮子的面前。原来它们是动物国的国王、王后。不可思议的是，我能听明白它们说什么。国王打量了我一眼，就认出了我，非常尊敬我，因为我是他们最尊贵的客人。接着让兔子侍女给我换了一件用百鸟的羽毛加下百兽的毛发编织而成的七彩衣。这一打扮我还觉得自己真美，我觉得自己就是一只金孔雀了。兔子侍女把我扶上了宝座后，所有的动物都向我请安，他们轮流感谢我提供给他们的帮助，希望有更多的人类能像我这样关心他们。我答应他们，一定让更多的人类来关爱动物。他们高兴极了，一起高高地举起了我，把我抛向空中，表示他们的热情。

我笑了，笑声在整个天空中回荡……这时，妈妈拍醒了我，问我睡梦中笑什么，我这才知道刚才是我的梦境。

在人和动物在大自然面前是平等的，这种思想不是每个人都会有，因而虐待小动物的现象却时有发生。而你知道么，人类的祖先就是从这些毫不起眼的小动物演变来的。因此我们原本和这些小动物们是一家，一家人就应该其乐融融，互相帮助，帮助那些在外流浪的小猫小狗。既然这样那我们又何必自相残杀呢！动物是人类的好朋友，我们为什么要伤害它呢？就拿下面这件事来说吧！

在一个风和日丽的午后，我和洋洋还有几位好朋友一起去老林子里探险，一到那里就在一座山洞里发现了一只被被褥包裹起来的一个像娃娃一样的东西，叫大人过来一看，哇！是一只已经面目全非的小狗，白色的绒毛下有几道深深的疤痕，好像是被人殴打过一样，拿鞭子抽过，脖子上还有一道肋痕。狗毛零零散散的铺在草坪上，看着特别让人心痛。

回家后，我想了很多：有些人只会当打着保护动物的招牌的冷面杀手，他们不会站在小动物的立场上来想，只会顾自己的快乐，把自己的快乐建立在别人的痛苦之上，这几年有人大肆捕捞鲨鱼，只为一碗昂贵的鱼翅汤和一件鲨鱼皮泳衣。只要自己快乐，别的一切事情好像都与自己无关。小动物也是有生命的，别看那些海洋和陆地杀手，它和人一样都需要得到关爱。如果地球上没有动物，那将会是一个没有活力的世界。就好比我们只能看到一望无际的蓝天，而看不到空中形态各异的白云一样乏味。所以让我们都来保护动物吧，这样我们的家园才会变得更美好！

[写保护动物作文二年级

对人有益的动物有很多，例如有蜻蜓、青蛙等等。

There are a lot of useful animal, such as dragonflies, frogs and so on.

我们先说蜻蜓吧，它是益虫，它对人的益处可多了。它生活在小池子旁边，捕捉害虫。有些人，捉蜻蜓，捕蜻蜓，捉住后到处卖。我们应给立一个保护蜻蜓法，如果他们再敢捉蜻蜓，捕蜻蜓，就是知法犯法，交给警察叔叔处理。

We first dragonflies, it is good, it can be more benefit to the people. It lives in the small pool, to catch pests. Some people, to catch dragonflies, catching dragonflies, caught after selling everywhere. We should give up a dragonfly, if they dare to catch dragonflies, catching dragonflies, is to break the law, to the police uncle treatment.

青蛙也不例外，它也是捕捉害虫的能手，不过，它生活在庄稼附近的池子旁边，有时候，它也到庄稼地，旁边捕捉害虫，人们都称它保护庄稼的好帮手。有的小朋友，到池子旁边，捕捉青蛙，回家后，吃青蛙。我们应该在池子旁边树一个牌子，上面写着“保护青蛙，人人有责”，这样就不会有人捕捉青蛙了。

The frog is no exception, and it is also catch insects but it lives in crops near the pool, sometimes, it is also next to catch insects to crops, crop protection, people call it a good helper. Some children, into the pool, catching frogs, after coming home, eat a frog. We should be in the pool next to the tree a sign that read "protect the frog, is everybodys responsibility", so no one will catch frogs.

如果没有这些有益动物，害虫就会增多。这样，连农药和灭害灵都不行了。我们应给共同保护动物。

If none of these beneficial animal pests will increase. So, I can not even spirit pesticides and pest. We should to protect the animal together.

A sunny Sunday, usually every day and sleep until the sun father-drying bottoms climb to get up early and get up in red, wake up my mother. Drowsily mother slowly said: "Today what the section, from Why so early?" Little Red said excitedly: "Mom, do not install confused, you said that today took me to the park!"

Came to park, mother and son were two beautiful scenery attract: kids, some kite-flying, and some shooting while playing ball ...... red bumper cars, while also playing slippery slides, played with enjoying themselves, was sweating profusely.

Little Red hobbled down to holding mothers hand while walking while singing. Suddenly, a banana peel, a red block of the avenue, little red slip banana skin reminded once again to see if the banana peel to her protest, then do not fight a gas, the foot kicked the banana peel. Mom saw, as if aware of her mind like, and did not criticize her, she just pulled the banana skin side next to her while saying with great earnestness: "I know you have been slipping on banana peel, very angry, but you should From the perspective of others think that if you somehow accidentally stepped on a banana peel how to do? red listened to, very ashamed, the banana peel thrown into the bin.

Little Red looked at the move, my mother smiled.

Yes ah! Would it not everyone should be protected?

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?

The environment is very important to human beings, but some people dont care for the environment, also do not know the importance of environment for human.

You see, many people dont care for the environment, they throw garbage everywhere, some people think: what is a garbage? However, many a mickle makes a muckle, and neighborhood became a dump the most beautiful place. Some people cut trees to build houses dig mountain, beautiful hill into desert and house. Some people dont have time to cook, just walk outside in the fast-food restaurant to buy rice, I eat, after dinner they also put the disposable lunch box, disposable chopsticks thrown to the ground. Some people in order to display their own home is very rich, driving a car on the road around. They didnt realize that both environmental pollution and waste of energy. Some factories take some sewage, smoke into the rivers and the sky.

Will exhaust waste water is introduced into the ground, dont show how rich, attention should be paid to energy conservation and emissions reduction.

环境对人类十分重要，可是有些人不爱护环境，也不知道环境对人类的重要性。

你看，许多人都不爱护环境，它们随地扔垃圾，有些人认为：一个垃圾算什么?可是积少成多，小区里最好看的地方成了垃圾站。有些人为了建房子挖山砍树，美丽的小山变成了沙漠和房子。有些人没时间做饭，就在外面快餐店买了饭一边走一边吃，吃完饭后他们还把一次性饭盒，一次性筷子丢在地上。有些人为了展示自己家里很有钱就开着跑车在路面上到处跑。他们没有意识到既污染环境又浪费能源。有些工厂将一些污水、浓烟排入江河和天空。

为了我们的环境，为了我们的生活，我希望人们可以把垃圾扔进垃圾桶，少砍树多造林，尽量回家吃饭。将废气废水引入地下，不要展示自己多么有钱，要注意节能减排。

相信在大家的努力下不远的将来，我们的城市会更美!
