关于保护动物高中英语作文1：Animals Need Protecting

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

关于保护动物高中英语作文2：Protect animals

I am a student from Xinhua High School in Chongqing，China. Informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, I cannot resist my inner excitement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals .

In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. I have been a panda lover since my childhood. Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country. Unfortunately，such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies.

关于保护动物高中英语作文3：How tu protect animals

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.

节约水资源英语作文【1】

We can save water in many different ways, but to understand how these ways help save our environment, we must understand that all things can be linked together. For example, by planting trees, we can reduce the amount of soil that enters and pollutes our waterways. You can start saving water by:

Using buckets instead of a hose when watering the garden

Taking a shower instead of a bath, but using water saving shower heads would be even better.

Installing half-flush toilets.

Fixing leaky taps

Placing an object such as a brick in the toilet or adjust the arm on the toilet.

Planting native Australian plants

Resuing greywater (thats what we call the water from the laundry, etc.

These are only some of the endless ways that we can help our environment.

节约水资源英语作文【2】

As we know, water is very important to man, we can’t live without water. The amount of water which is suitable to drink is less and less. But some people don’t care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. Even worse, they pour dirty water into rivers. They throw rubbish into rivers, too. Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted. Something must be done to stop the pollution. And I think it’s a great shame to waste while millions are in great need of water. I think what we can do is that we have to save every drop of water as possible as we can. For example, we must turn off the tap immediately after we use it. We can use a basin to wash our hands and faces. It’s also a good idea to encourage my friends and family members to join me! Only in this way can we live happily. If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of us. I believe if everyone makes a little effort, we can make a big difference.

我是水，纯净的、美丽的、清雅的、高尚的水，我从雪地来，我从山中来，慢慢地、缓缓地，穿透高山，跨过平原，汇入大海。

我是水，晶莹的雪，是我的前身，甜甜的雨，是我的兄弟，苦涩的泪，是我的姐妹。我的足迹遍布地球，我的臂膀爱抚着每个角落。

只因为有了我，生命才会如此完美;只因为有了我，世间万物才如此完善。我不但是田地丰厚的“营养品”，是农作物的“增长剂”，更是人类必有的东西。淘米洗菜需要我，洗衣灌溉需要我，人们渴时喝的是我，脏时洗的是我，急时用的是我，但是不断破坏的也是我。

我给人类带来了幸福，可人类为什么这样对我?我默默地，无私地哺育着大地。我在山的腰间潺潺流动，在草原的中间快乐奔腾，在大海的怀抱中汹涌澎湃。我是善良的、忠诚的。我把一切都奉献给人类，面对人类的冷漠无情，我会不由自主地发怒，泛滥成灾，能够主宰万物的是人物，可破坏生态环境，也是人类当今中国正面临着两大问题：一是资源问题，二是环境问题，其中资源问题中，中国人均水资源占有量是世界人均占有量的一半。环境问题中，我的污染程度更是不言而喻了，我受到“侵犯”，就会影响水生物和家作物的生长，增加疾病疾病的传播，危害人体的健康。因此，保护环境是刻不容缓的事实，实施可持续发展战略是是加快社会主义现代化的必然捷径。人类只有一个家园，请爱护这个唯一的摇篮。

因此，我希望得到人类的珍惜，更希望得到人类的保护。请停手吧，不要再折腾我了!

青山绿水今何在?

幕幕往事,还是易如反掌地时时浮现。

记忆中的家乡的水，很美!平淌静如画，与青山相互照应，所以青如山之绿;有的会成溪，随处可见。那便是家乡的水。

当你伸出手轻抚它时，它便从手指间滑过，柔柔的，清凉可人。在我第一次到那的时候，天天到那儿去用那水洗脸。那时正是炎夏，我便和爸爸在里面游泳。“扑咚!”一声跳进水里，顿时洗去了所有的疲惫，清凉遍布全身，犹如在人间天堂一般。

又一次，在五年之后，我和爸爸、奶奶再次来到了这里。一到河边，就被眼前的一切惊呆了。我竟难以相信这就是我深深难忘的家乡水。

还有湖南著名的湘江也是

听父母说，以前，湘江水特别明澈，一到炎夏就有很多人来游泳。人们亲切的称它为“绿色之河”。

然而现在，古老的湘江已经被吞噬了，只见河面上浮满了塑料、药瓶、白色污染……发出令人恶心的臭味。享有“绿色之河”之称的湘江已成为了一条“死河”。

忽然，我明白了，今日的人们一味的追求发展，而忽视了保护环境，保护水资源的重要性。

整条河上回响起河水的叹息声：“人们摧残了我的躯体!”

唉!青山绿水今何在?

如果失去水……

人们啊人们!

如果失去了水，你喝什么?用什么来灌溉每一寸土地，用什么来滋润每一株小草?如果没有如此美丽的水，又哪来苏轼的千古佳句“水光潋滟晴方好”?如果没有水，世间万物又何在?

当我们面对这样的水时，您还会歌颂它的美丽，感叹它的生机吗?面对摆在眼前的事实，难道还不足以给人们敲响水之患的警钟，敲醒人们的觉悟吗?

俗话说：“失去了，才懂得珍惜!”

人们，难道真的要让最后一滴水成为人类伤心欲绝、悔

Pandas are my favourite animals. In fact, all the people like pands as well. Pandasliving in the wild can live for 20 years while the pandas that live in the zoos can have a life of more thqn 30 years. Pandas are really lovely. They can not only climb trees but also swim. However, the number of pandas is decreasing sharply. It is said that there are only 1000 pandas remaining in the world at present. It is sad news for all of us. Therefore, we are supposed to take measures to protect pandas in order to prevent them from dying out.

Environmental protection is a big project, but we can start from around things, do a lot of things to protect the environment.

Our paper every day, do you know the paper is how to? Is made of trees to make paper. Every year around the world to cut down many trees to make paper. I have seen a special TV, save 1500 sheets of paper, you can leave a big tree. The tree is our good friend, it can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, can reduce the noise, can block the sand, can prevent water loss and soil erosion... Starts from me, saving every piece of paper, children all over the world can save a lot of a lot of paper, you can retain a lot of trees, you can leave a big forest, desert, less and less, more and more pure and fresh air, green more and more. How I wish my hometown mountain more green, and blue, the water environment of our lives forever charactizing a fine spring day.

We used in battery life; it contains lead, if throw it carelessly, section 1 waste batteries can lose one square metre of soil utilization value forever. In many countries, many areas have carried out recycling of waste batteries. In Germany, to buy a new battery, used batteries must be pay back. So, we should to find a "home" for waste batteries. I hope we panzhihua environmental protection departments also set up waste battery recycling. Thoroughly protect the soil so that it can always grow crops.

Save a piece of paper, recycling waste battery section... Although we do is small, but it made great contribution for environmental protection. I hope my classmates from now on, all to do an environmental small guards. There is only one earth, we have to take care of it.

环保是一个很大的工程，但我们可以从身边的小事做起，为保护环境做很多事。

我们每天都要用纸，你知道纸张是怎么来的吗?是用大树来造纸的。全世界每年都要砍掉很多树来造纸。我看过一个专题电视，节约1500张纸，就可以保留一棵大树。大树是我们的好朋友，它可以把二氧化碳变为氧气，可以降低噪音，可以挡住风沙，可以防止水土流失……从我做起，节约每一张纸，全世界的小朋友可以节约很多很多纸，就可以保留很多很多大树，就可以留下一片大森林，沙漠越来越少，空气越来越清新，绿色越来越多。我多希望我的家乡山更青、水更绿，我们生活的环境永远鸟语花香。

我们生活中用到的电池，它含有铅，如果把它随手乱扔，1节废电池可以使一平方米的土壤失去永远的利用价值。很多国家、很多地区都开展了废电池的回收。在德国，购买新电池的时候，必须将废旧电池交回来。所以，我们应该给给废电池找个“家”。我希望我们攀枝花的环保部门也设立废旧电池回收站。好好的保护土壤，让它可以永远长出庄稼。

节约一张纸、回收一节废旧电池……我们做的虽然是小事，但却为环保做了大贡献。我希望我的同学们从现在开始，都来做一个环保小卫士。地球只有一个，我们都要好好爱护它。

Protecting the Environment

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better. Let’s change from ourselves.

在过去的几十年里，我们的地球已经极度污染，比如大气污染，水污染以及噪音污染等等。近几年，极地气候越来越频繁。冬天越来越暖，夏天越来越热，还经常下雨。所有的这些都警示我们保护环境是一件严肃紧迫的事。作为普通老百姓，我们应该形成合适的生活方式。我们应该注意节约水电。出门的时候我们应该首选公共交通。最重要的是我们必须意识到我们可以做很多事情来保护我们的环境。使我们的家园变得更美好是我们的责任。让我们从自己开始改变。

[初中英语作文及翻译：保护环境

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。

亲爱的叔叔阿姨们：

现在，中国科技发展日新月异：发明了核武器、神七升天、成功举办了奥运会……人们都过上了幸福安康的生活。但是，人门是否想过祖国的环境正在一步一步的恶化?

就拿水资源来说，虽然地球上70.8%的面积被水覆盖，但世界水资源中有97.2%是海，剩下的70%是固体冰川，也就是说，真正可以被利用的水资源还不到1%。这真是少得可怜。尤其是我国人口众多，淡水资源并不丰富，每到秋冬季节，就有几十个省市，几千万人口受到干旱的威胁。

听大人们说，以前的湘江清澈见底，一到夏季人们就会涌进江水中，与江水快乐的嬉戏，江水也成为了人类的朋友。而现在，一些工厂不注意保护水资源，不加节制的抽取江水，再把工业废水排入江中，造成了水资源的严重污染。还有大型挖沙船不断挖取河沙，造成了水土流失。前几天，我和同学们去岳麓山球友，经过湘江大桥，我放眼望去，只见裸露的河床被晒得发白了。几窝浅浅的水嵌在河床中，似乎马上会被抽干，没有水，我们怎么活啊?我痛苦地想!

我经常能在马路边发现有人端着高压水枪对着汽车长时间冲洗，地下一片汪洋，也能看到滴水的消防栓，爆裂的水管如喷泉般涌出自来水，马路成了溪流;现在的小学生也不把水资源放在眼里，每当我走到水龙头附近，就会听见“哗啦哗啦”的响声，仿佛是水滴痛苦的呻吟。如果我们再不加以节制的话，恐怕人类的眼泪就要成为世界上的最后一滴水了。

所以，为了保护水资源，节约用水，我向大家提出以下建议：

第一，少去洗车房，可以提一桶水给自己的爱车进行擦拭。

第二，用淘米水洗菜，再用清水清洗，不仅节约了水，还有效地清除了蔬菜上的残存农药。

第三，在洗手、刷牙、洗脸不需要水时，要关闭水龙头。

第四，请自来水公司及时检修消防栓和水管。

第五，关闭污染严重的沿江企业。

为了不让眼泪成为世界上的最后一滴水，让我们一起行动起来吧!

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！

龟裂的大地，干涸已久的塘库以及重旱区千百万双渴望的双眼，无时无刻不撞击着我们的心灵。目睹这些惨象，我们，这些离他们遥远的都市人又会怎么能品味到这种缺水的那种痛，那种渴望。

滴滴甘露，悠悠我心。脑海里不由想起报纸上一位贵州晴隆县大田乡苗族村的5岁小男孩---张德江。他和伙伴们每人总用水量仅有一瓶水。忘不了他那脏兮兮的小花脸，忘不了他眼神中所折射出的刺眼渴望。在他们眼中，每一滴水都是渴望。

在灾难面前人类是多么被动和渺小，而面对灾情，人类的团结互助却能使灾难变得渺小。举国上下的‘爱心’‘雨滴’救助筹资活动，四面八方的关注支持，爱心在不停涌动。在巨大的灾情面前，来自五湖四海的帮助，汇成了一条爱心不止的河流，在我们心中流动，更滋润着灾区人们焦渴的心。

电视屏幕上那些因缺水而脸色枯黄的人们，那些没有水分而早早变黄的大片整整的油菜花，我的心不由一震，一种说不出的焦虑涌上心头。虽然距离将我与灾区拉远，但有些东西可以被空间所遮蔽，但有些东西是无法被距离遮蔽。那些来自四面八方的支援不正是体现了这一点吗？在那遥远地方的旱灾，却让我们感到旱灾离我们并不遥远，我们的心与灾区人们的心永远联系在一起。

但，我们为什么总是要在灾难发生后才去紧张地救援呢？我想人类是智慧的。既然有‘未雨绸缪’为什么不能‘未旱绸缪’呢？水资源是珍贵的，节约用水是我们义不容辞的责任。倘使我们每个人都在生活中真爱每一滴水，那么就会使像这种旱灾发生的可能性降到最小。假若我们在生活中都珍爱每一滴水，那么旱灾离我们就会远了。

现在，每天面对这些珍贵的水，我都似乎负有一种罪恶感。只要一想起灾区的人们，我的心就揪了起来，恨不得马上亲临旱区，将自己的水双手递给那些苦于水的人们，愿他们的脸上露出甜甜的笑容，愿他们心中的渴能及时解了。

让我们献出自己的一份微薄之力，关爱旱区。从现在做起，珍爱每一滴水，让旱灾远离我们。

The earth is our home, but also our mother. Earth free supply us all kinds of resources, but we still for a little petty profit, regardless of the consequences of wanton to destroy her. As the only one earth, "the article said, we cant count on destroyed the earth moving to other planets, the earth if lost, then fell to the earths fate will eventually befall humans. So we too late, too late, to protect our earth, care for the environment, I suggest you to do the following:

1. Cherish now every mouthful of air, as far as possible to reduce the number of the factory, industrial waste gas will be less. The good news is, we see the government has put many polluting factories, rectification within a time limit or migration. We also know that every household use of coal gas has been changed to natural gas, advocating walking with less cars, this is to protect the atmosphere. We more afforestation, forest not only can breathe fresh air, also can purify the air. To stop deforestation behavior, less destruction of nature.

2. Dont abuse of various resources, such as coal, ore, wood, water... If these resources are endless, is bound to form all kinds of resources depletion, when people do not have the resources, we could not survive.

3. The water is the source of life, but it is too small. Although the surface looks large area on earth is covered by water, but with less than one over ten, an acute shortage of water in many cities, so, we should save water. At present, the school advocates our toilet cistern in home put a mineral water bottle, isnt it the measures to save water? Use to wash the dishes, the water that clean out rice water the flowers, use wash clothes water to flush the toilet, isnt it a to save water!

As long as everyone to do the above, the earth has been already saved!

地球是我们的家，同时也是我们的母亲。地球无偿的供给我们各种资源，而我们却还为了一点蝇头小利，不顾后果的肆意去破坏她。正如《只有一个地球》那篇文章所说的，我们不能再指望破坏了地球移居到别的星球上去，地球如果灭亡了，那么降临到地球上的命运终究也会降临到人类身上。所以我们亡羊补牢，为时不晚，保护我们的地球，爱护环境，我建议大家做到如下几点：

1.珍惜现在的每一口空气，把工厂的数量尽可能的减少，工业废气也会随之减少。可喜的是，我们看到政府已将许多重污染的工厂叫停，限期整改或迁移。我们还知道每家每户用的煤气已改成了天然气，倡导步行少用汽车，这都是保护大气的举措。我们还要多植树造林，森林不仅能呼出新鲜空气，还能净化空气。要制止乱砍伐森林的行为，要少破坏大自然。

2.不要滥用各种资源，如，煤、矿、木、水……如果这些资源被无止境的开采，必定会形成各种资源的枯竭，当人们没有资源时，我们就无法生存了。

3.水是生命的源泉，但是它又实在太少了。虽然表面看起来地球上大面积都被水覆盖，可是能用的却不到十分之一，许多城市严重缺水，所以，我们要节约用水。目前，学校倡导我们在家里的马桶水箱里放一个矿泉水瓶子，不正是节约用水的举措吗?用洗菜、淘米的水浇花，用洗衣服的水冲马桶，不正是为节约用水尽一份力嘛!

只要大家做到以上几点，地球就有救了!

人们总以为淡水是取之不尽的，实际上淡水资源是很有限的。请谈谈你的看法。

It is generally believed that there is a good supply of fresh water. But to our disappointment, the fact is just the opposite.

As we can see, the world population is growing rapidly day by day. So enough fresh water is needed to feed such a big population. Whats more, with the development of industry, factories and vehicles produce poisonous gases or wastes, which consequently results in the pollution of water. Though fresh, a good amount of it can no longer be used. Only quite limited fresh water resource is available to human beings. So its high time for us human beings to take quick action to protect water resource. Stop pollution and save water, otherwise, we cannot survive on the earth.

With fresh water, the world will be prosperous.

刚刚过去的水资源污染就轮到到了今日的空气污染呢？舌尖上的安全已经成为了一个非安全的事实了，为何今日又来到了各种各样的环境污染的各种问题？不用任何的解释，那就是人类的错！！！

不容忽视！我可不希望这个地球的生命只有短短的100多年。

工业、工厂的排出来的废水为什么都要直接排到各种河流、湖泊、大海？你们可知道地球上的水很多很多，据估计水的总体积约为13．8亿立方公里。如果将这些水平均分布于地球表面，相当于地球整个表面覆盖着一层平均深度为2650米的水。但是十分可惜，这些水98％是咸水，主要分布在海洋中。淡水只占地球水总量的2％，约有3000万立方公里，而这2％的淡水也不能全为人类所应用，因为它的88％被冻在两极的冰帽和冰川里，剩下的12％即河流、湖泊和能开采的浅层地下水才可为人类应用，其中绝大多数又为地下水，不开采不能应用，可直接应用的河流湖泊中的水，只占淡水总量的0．04％。地球上的水，总是处在变化之中，海洋和陆地上的水蒸发到大气中，再形成雨或雪落回大地，滋养万物，补充河流、湖泊或注入大海。水还会渗入地下，汇入地下蓄水层。极深的地下水不能补充，也不能开采，被称为原生水，因而不能再生。正因为水资源的这种流动性质，因而形成陆地的水涝或干旱，造成水资源分布不均衡，世界上每年约有65％的水资源集中在10个国家里，而人口共占世界总人口的40％的80个国家（其中9个国家在近东和中东）却严重缺水！！珍惜水资源是我们每个合格公民应该做的事！警告各位无良工厂不要乱排水！

保护水资源刻不容缓，从小事做起！

[以水资源保护为题的作文

水，是人类的生命之源，它像人的血液一样必不可少。它无色无味，它无处不在。它不求人类和生物的回报，它只默默的为地球服务，奉献自己的一生。但人类一点也不在意它，如果人类没有了水，就会死亡，各种生物也会灭绝，地球就会变成一个荒废的土地。

现在地球的人类在大量的污染水。目前严峻的现实在我们面前，水资源先天不足，水资源短缺和污染的问题相当突出，一些地方，因为人类不保护水资源，造成水土流失，土地沙化，沙尘暴等仍在加剧，更严重的是水土流失使土壤的肥力显著下降，造成农作物大量减产，越是减产，就越要多开垦荒地，越开垦荒地，水土流失就越严重，严重的影响了生态平衡。威胁到我们的家园，危害到人类的身体健康，严重影响经济.社会的持续发展。这都是人类的错，是人类伤害了地球妈妈，得到了严重的报应。

人类啊!觉悟吧，这些对地球环境的伤害都是人类造成的呀，大家只要节约了一滴水，就可以救活更多无辜的人。只要没有了水，地球就会死亡，人类就会不存在。要是没有了水，就没有那些顽皮可爱的动物。要是没有了水，就没有美丽的家园。人类，珍惜水资源，从我做起。

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth.

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?

【我们知道,校园是老师和同学们工作、学习的场所,优良的校园环境,可以给我们以心旷神怡、美好的感觉.我们的校园虽然面积不大,但绿化还算不错,绿树成荫、花香鸟语；教室外面、过道走廊张贴了古今中外的名人名言.我们都在努力营造一个健康、和谐、催人奋进的环境,使同学们在优良环境中受到感染与熏陶,在潜移默化之中树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观,让大家在优美、整洁、温馨的环境中一天天健康地成长,做一名文明的社会公民!】

保护学校环境（二）

The protection of the border is not a new problem for us, and our government has long proposed clear targets for governance. As every ordinary person in real life, although it is impossible to work directly in environmental protection, we can start from small things and start from me. Can you raise your hand when you see the tap in the bathroom? When the battery runs out, can you classify it instead of throwing it away? How about when shopping doesnt use ultra-thin plastic bags? ...... Small things are small, but they reflect how much environmental awareness we have.

Recycling one ton of waste paper can regenerate 800 kg of paper, can save 17 tree. 20 waste recycling boxes can create a beautiful pen container. Recycling one glass bottle to save the energy, can make the bulb light for four hours. Recycling one aluminum can is to save the half oil cans. So we should place the garbage classification, reproduction by the relevant department after recycling reuse!

As long as we start from oneself, starts from the minor matter, everybody joint efforts, perseverance, we will be for the society, also a piece of clear water, blue sky for yourself, I hope everybody can voluntarily protect the environment, to make our environment more beautiful life.

境保护对我们来说并不是一个新问题，我国政府也早就提出了明确的治理目标。作为现实生活中的每一个普通人，虽然不可能都直接从事环保工作，但我们完全可以从小事做起，从我做起。当看到洗手间的水龙头在滴水时，是不是能够举手关上呢?当电池用完后能否分类收藏处理而不是随手扔掉呢?当购物时能否自觉不使用超薄塑料袋呢?……一件件小事虽然都很不起眼，但却体现我们究竟具备了多少环保意识。

回收1吨废纸可再造出800千克好纸,可以挽救17棵大树.回收20个废餐盒可以造出一个漂亮的笔筒.回收一个玻璃瓶节省的能量,可使灯泡亮4个小时.回收1个铝罐就等于节约了半个铝罐的石油.所以我们应将垃圾分类安放,由有关部门回收后再生产再利用!

只要我们从自己做起，从小事做起，大家共同努力，持之以恒，就一定能为社会、也为自己留下一片碧水蓝天，我希望人人都能自觉保护环境，让我们的生活环境更加美好。

Last week, I visited the geological museum with my best friend, Liu Bing.

It was my first time to go there. The moment we arrived there, we found that the

building was grand. When we walked into it, there was a big hall in front of us.

And then there were several rooms to show different kinds objects. There was a

room for collecting scripts and paintings. There was another room to store

clothes and shoes in the old times. The next room was for collecting the daily

necessities in the old days. In a word, all the things in it had a long history.

I learnt some knowledge from it.

The trickle of water was crystal clear, accompanied by the sound of the "ding dong" of the spring. The undulating mountain stands erect, majestic and overwhelming; The green trees, towering above the tops of the mountains, are not afraid to be afraid; The wild flowers, which are in the top of the mountain, are full of beauty and beauty, and the fresh flowers are pleasing to the soul. But that was all have become memories, is facing a murky water, batteries, plastic bags have polluted the land, industrial waste gas, automobile exhaust pollution the air, trees and flowers are hard to meet again, only can see is just a weak looking trees flowers and plants, all everything has disappeared, the earth on a red alert. The presidents of all countries have been together for three days and three nights... "The whole people moved to the moon," they were consulted, and they issued such an order. According to the scientists observed earth damage is too severe, human will not far from the end of the world, if you dont leave the earth, mankind had to count the days such as dead. The present moon, which has been constructed by human ancestors and modern humans, has been transformed.

The lush woods, the crystal clear water, the blue sky, and the various shapes of flowers and animals. "Wow! This is like a new earth, and it brings us back to the old days." people dont sigh. Yes, the moon has now and once the earth is almost the same as the air around the moon, the moons gravity, and thick atmosphere around the moon, everything seemed to go back to the once upon a time, people are living down here... "Wow! There are so many trees here! ", "wow! There are so many rivers here!" Greed once again led the human hand into the abyss...

For a long time, the moon returned to the earth and the earth was devastated, and everything on the moon was dead. All the pollution to the moon, the atmosphere became thin almost close to zero, tragedy staged again, once upon a certain day a diameter of 40 kilometers meteorite broke into the moon, because the moons atmosphere is too thin, almost no resistance, is this meteorite is easy to break into the moon, because there is almost no resistance, meteorite impact force is very big, hit ground surface cracked a big hole, the hot, liquid mass of molten rock from cracks in shock... Facing death of that a moment, human beings finally wake up, but the wake up, now is just unable to struggle, ridiculous human this time really redeemed himself again. The world has been destroyed, mankind has perished.

How to protect the environment

Good environment can make people feel happy and fit . To improve the environment means to improve our life.

We should plant more trees and flowers around us . We shouldn’t cut them down . We should stop factories from pouring waste water into the river and waste gas into the air.

Whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into dusbins. Never spit in public. Don’t draw on public walls. It’s our duty to protect the environment.
