环保是我们这个时代充满争议的流行词，但同时是保护环境中极其重要的一点，我们如何做到环保，如何最环保，怎样才算环保呢，在以下内容中，我们将知道。

环保是指环境保护。环保是指人类为解决现实的或潜在问题，协调人类与环境的关系，保障经济社会的持续发展而采取的各种行动的总称。

现在，我们生活活中，最严重的环保问题就是土壤遭到破坏，气候变化和能源浪费。据参考消息报道，110个国家可耕地的肥沃程度在降低。在非洲，亚洲和拉丁美洲，由于森林植被的消失、耕地的过分开发和牧场的过度放牧，裸露的土地变得脆弱了。大地母亲已经变的面黄肌瘦，请好好保护我们的大地母亲!有专家预计，在不久的将来海平面将升高，很多岛屿都将会被淹没。

那我们该如何制止这一切的发生呢?其实，保护环境并没有想象中的那么难，只要我们从小事做起，就一定会让地球焕然一新的，比如：多使用环保袋，尽量避免用塑料袋;尽量坐公交车，尽可能的减少汽车排放的废气;平时多步行，骑自行车，锻炼身体又保护环境……除此之外，还有很多很多，只要我们从小事做起，积少成多，积沙成塔，就一定会让地球重还以前的面貌。

让我们为地球的将来而奋斗吧!

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。

We need to protect the small animal, especially this kind of small animal chicken, because chicken morning to wake us up, can have a round egg, can also provide for us to eat chicken.

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。

One time, my mother and I heard the food market, an old woman shouted: "chicken, chicken fat and tender today!" Mother said: "today, we bought a chicken soup to drink at home." I said: "OK." But think again: if we eat chicken, so cant eat the egg, the mother said: "no, not eat chicken egg to eat." "Silly boy, what do you care ah!" Mother allowing no explanation to put me into the chicken. The old woman was a chicken, she pulled out the hair on the neck, a knife in the neck with a few strokes under. Blood sprayed around chicken, struggled and died. "So cruel, I dont eat chicken!" I asked my mother loudly protested. "Well, do not buy, we went to buy some vegetables." Maybe mom was cruel, also agreed.

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。

If we live without the animal, the world will become very lonely. We must protect the animal, start from their own: eat less meat, less wear fur sweaters; see others bully animal, we should stand up to persuade them.

保护动物，人人有责!

Animal protection, everyones responsibility!

In a sunny afternoon, the air was fresh, coconut particularly lush, xiao gang holding tank and nets, walked at a brisk pace, happily to catch frogs.

Xiao gang came to the pond, the skylight, just caught a crock of frogs. He happily ran home, sitting on the sofa, drinking beverages, listening to the tape recorder, want to relax, and behold, a passage from the recorder "again today to the voice of the animals, play time, please dont catch frogs to protect the frog." Xiao gang wish: everyone in catch frogs, why not let me catch! Xiao gang is very angry, he took out the animal encyclopedia started flipped up and found that it turns out that the frog is secondary to protect animals, and was little tadpoles mom, I used to love this book "little tadpole looking for mom".

Ashamed, at once, xiao gang immediately ran out of the house, run out whole body energy, rushed to the pond and the frog and little tadpoles released, little frogs in the pond croaked and cried, as if to say: "thank you!" Xiao gang also said softly: "go, go find your loved one!"

Through this story, I know a small token, that is: to protect the frog, everybody is responsible for.

在一个风和日丽的下午，空气十分清新，椰子树格外茂盛，小刚拿着鱼缸和鱼网，迈着轻快的步子，开开心心地去捉青蛙了。

小刚来到池塘边，费了九牛二虎之力，才捉了一缸青蛙。他高兴地跑回了家，坐在沙发上，喝着饮料，听着录音机，想放松放松，不料，录音机中传出一段话“今天又到了动物之声的播放时间，请大家不要捉青蛙，要保护青蛙。”小刚心想：大家都在捉青蛙，为什么不让我捉!小刚十分生气，他拿出《动物百科》开始翻阅起来，发现，原来，青蛙是二级保护动物，而且竟是小蝌蚪的妈妈，我以前最爱看《小蝌蚪找妈妈》这本书。

顿时，小刚感到羞愧万分，立即跑出家门，用尽全身力气，冲向池塘边，把小青蛙与小蝌蚪放生了，小青蛙在池塘边呱呱地叫着，好像在说：“谢谢你!”小刚也轻声说道：“去吧，去找你们的亲人吧!”

通过这个故事，我知道了一个小道理，那就是：保护青蛙，人人有责。

Important to save water

Water is a kind of liquid. It has no taste or smell. It is transparent, too. Water is useful and is important to us. Why? For example, we use water to water the plants. We use water to wash our face or to have a bath. We drink water or we will die…Water is also very important for China. There are 2.8 hundred millions of steres of water in China, but everyone can only use 2300 steres. It is only twenty–five per sent in the world.

Not too long ago, there was a man called Jacques Cousteau. He loved the beautiful colors, and the beautiful fish in the sea. However, when he returned some years later, the colorful coral reefs were dead and grey because the factory near the sea poured waste water into the sea. Jacques Cousteau decided to tell people how important it was to save the environment under the sea. He started the“ Cousteau Society ” to help protect life in the sea. Now there are over 30000 members all over the world. Since water covers most of the earth, Cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean. We should not litter the sea, and should clean up the dirty parts. As water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take part in protecting our lakes, rivers, sea and ocean.

There are still a few people who are not protecting the water now in the world. For example, some factories pour waste things into the rivers, lakes or into the sea near by. The water there has become very dirty and we can’t use them at all. Although there are seventy–five per sent of water in the world, we can only use fresh water, that there is only a little. So we should use little water when we need to use it. For example, I do not use too much water when I am washing my face or having a bath… It is important for us to keep the water clean. You may ask yourself, have I ever poured or thrown dirty things into the water? If your answer is “No”, that means you have already helped to protect the environment. It is our duty to protect the environment. You may ask yourself again, have I ever helped to clean up the water? If your answer is “Yes”, that means that you have already done something useful to improve the water. If we use up all the water, it is difficult for us to get it from anywhere, including the universe. It is terrible to think that people are too thirsty to live! I believe, that if everyone helps to protect the water, the water must be protected. You do not want to “kill” your son or your grandson, do you? So now let us to protect the water! Please don’t let the last drop of water on the earth is we human’s tear!

There are more and more endangered animals at present，so how to protect them has been our task of top priority .Its wrong for people to hunt animals for their meat and feather，for they are our good friends。We should protect them instead of killing them。Giant pandas，which are one of the endangered animals，live in the forests and live on bamboo lealves。They can just live safely in the natural protection zones。We should stop killing animal and protect them。

各盛市野生动物保护区：

近年经常有不法分子非法猎杀，食用野生动物。大家都知道动物是人类的朋友，野生动物更是大自然的精华，国家也颁布了保护野生动物的法律，可有些不法分子还是大量捕杀野生动物。这样会导致野生动物灭绝，还会破坏生态平衡。

人们猎杀野生动物主要是因为人们为了美食而大量捕杀野生动物。对于保护野生动物，我提出以下几点建议：

1、禁止人类使用一切野生动物，干扰野生动物的栖息、生活。

2、各盛市野生动物保护区加强对野生动物的保护，对捕杀野生动物的不法分子严厉惩罚。

3、禁止人类近距离接触一切来历不明的野生动物，以免爆发瘟疫，造成大量的人生损失和财产损失，以至扑杀大量野生动物。

4、医务部门要做好防御瘟疫病毒的措施，以免爆发瘟疫时扑杀太多野生动物。

以上建议是否可行，请大家多考虑。

此致

It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.

Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if peoples lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution ?

不可否认环境恶化已成为当今世界最大的问题。土地资源在不断减少,因为水土流失。废气污染着我们呼吸的空气。河流和湖泊被工厂的 倒出来的废弃物所污染。这可以毫不夸张地说,环境质量的恶化威胁着人类的生存。

有些人认为环境问题是我们因为经济发展而必须要付出的代价。但我不认为这种观点是有效的。毕竟,经济增长的重点是什么?如果人们的生活环境被日益恶化、被严重污染了，那还有什么意义?

This fish earned its name by utilizing evasion as a way to escape its predators. It bodily leaps from the ocean, reaching a speed of about 35 miles per hour and a recorded gliding time of up to thirty seconds. This can take them as far as 200 meters from their point of exit from the water, which may be far enough to escape pursuit or confuse predators. Fishermen favor these types of fish, but due to their sheer numbers in the wild, none of the 40 different species of flying fish are listed as endangered. While they can be found foraging seasonally along the outskirts of warm water reef complexes, flying fish are primarily pelagic, and favor tropical or subtropical open waters around the equator.

飞鱼得名于它独特的避难方式。遇到捕食者时，飞鱼会采用一种独特的逃跑方式：它会纵身一跃，跳出海面。此时它的速度可达到每小时35英里，在空中滑翔长达30秒。这一跃能使它们飞行200米，足以使它们全身而退或者迷惑捕食者。渔民们很是钟爱这种鱼，野生飞鱼数量众多，所以40种飞鱼中没有一种濒临灭绝。人们发现飞鱼有时会季节性的在温水区近郊地带的杂礁灰岩附近觅食，不过它们属浮游类鱼类，喜欢在赤道附近的热带，亚热带地区的公海活动。

Subsisting mainly on a diet of plankton and small marine life, flying fish are schooling fish that hunt primarily at night. While some sources may find this counter-intuitive, given the ease with which the fish are drawn to light sources, this actually makes perfect sense. Many of the plankton and marine resources the fish favor are slightly luminescent, especially by moonlight, making them easily seen in the darkness. This also provides cover, given the coloration of the fish—blue or grey on top, silvery white on the bottom—so that they are not easily seen from above or below as they feed on the clouds of marine flora. Flying fish generally mate during the autumn or spring, when currents are at their weakest. Females will deposit their eggs on the surface, attached to flotsam, and males will fertilize the eggs. Schools at this time can number in the millions, and constitute a major resource for species that feed on the fish. Because they only tend to live about five years in the wild, their flesh is prized for its purity—free of the heavy metals often found in longer-lived species.

飞鱼主要以浮游生物和小型海洋生物为食，主要在夜间以集群的方式进行捕食。有些人会觉得下面这个说法有悖常理，因为鱼类易被光源吸引，这么说也不无道理。许多浮游生物和鱼类自身都会发出微弱的冷光，尤其是在月光照射下，更是清晰可见。但这同时也为鱼类提供了一层防护，让它们有了保护色：一般在上部会呈现蓝色或灰色，下部呈现银白色。凭借这些保护色，当飞鱼在海底植物中进食时就很难发现它们。飞鱼通常会在春秋时节进行交配，因为这个时期洋流的活动最为和缓。雌性飞鱼会将卵产在海面上，让其依附在漂浮物上，雄性飞鱼再让鱼卵受精。此时在飞鱼的集群中，会有数以百万的成员。而这也为以鱼类为生的动物们提供了主要的食物来源。由于野生飞鱼只有5年的寿命，它们不会像长寿的鱼类一样体内留有大量重金属物质，因此飞鱼肉被人们视为珍品。

Dear headmasters,teachers,classmates and friends:

I’m very proud that I have chosen to speak to you all today, I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people ,so please forgive me if it shows.

As we all know,the environmemt around us is getting worse and worse .In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. .But what can we do? How to protect our environmemt ?For example ,we can go to school on foot or by bike . we can use shopping basskets not plastic bags .when we go shopping and we can use both sides of the paper when we write .In a word ,if everyone pays more attention to our environment ,there will be less pollution and our life will be better.

“There is only one earth”,I hope everyone will protect our environment well. Thanks!

上午，平平想养青蛙，于是，他拿了网和水桶出发了。

平平捉完青蛙，回家了，把小水桶放在桌上了。第二天平平要看看青蛙。青蛙没什么同样，只好听录音机。录音机里说了“请保护青蛙”平平不明白，就到书房里找书，他找到一本《动物百科知识》书，书里写着“青蛙是有益的动物”，我们要保护它。青蛙专门吃田里的害虫，是保卫田野的卫士。

平平知道自己做错了，便脸红了，他回到了池塘边把青蛙放了，一边对青蛙说：“小青蛙快回家吧！”

小朋友，我们要向平平学习，要保护小动物。

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. But at present, the number of pandas is increasing year by year. there are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them.

Nowadays, the biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan. there is a research centre for nature and wild life there. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.

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?

Environmental Protection

环境保护

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.

现如今我们的自然环境已经成为一个重要问题。世界人口增长如此之快以至于世界已经变得过于拥挤。我们在消耗自然资源的同时危险化学物品污染着我们生存的环境。如果我们继续这样下去，地球上的生物将不能生存。

Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.

相关人士在环境保护方面做出了一些进展。许多国家的政府已经建立法律来保护大气，森林和海洋资源以停止环境污染。

Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve(保存) our natural resources and recycle(再循环) our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

同时更应该采取措施来解决环境问题。应该进一步教育人们认识到问题的重要性，应用现代的生产控制方法来节约我们的自然资源和实现产品的再循环。我们相信在将来我们会拥有一个更好的更干净的生存之地。

导语：保护动物珍爱生命的作文怎么写?以下是小编精心为大家整理的有关保护动物珍爱生命的作文，希望对大家有所帮助，欢迎阅读。 保护动物珍爱生命作文篇一：

如果你看到了那用生命搭成的桥，你会不会放下你手中的枪;如果你看到了那因同胞而死去的蚁国英雄，你会不会放下你手中灭蚁的工具。

是的，有时生命是那么的渺茫，渺茫的就象大海里的细沙。在夏天，当你在草丛中奔跑你那随脚一跳，你知道会有多少生物会从这世界上逝去吗?我可以负责任的告诉你：你那一脚对昆虫来说，就等于八磅C4炸药!八磅C4炸药可以一口气炸掉一座摩天大厦!你想象的到吗?

世界上平均每隔5分钟就会灭绝0.002种生物!地球在变暖，冰河在融化，我们美丽的地球将不再是一个家……动物的种类在逐渐减少，人类将渐渐变的孤独;如果我们还不觉悟，难道以后动物园也要用机器来制造动物吗?!

所有的少先队员们，请和我一起呼吁：爱护生命是少先队员应尽的责任，我们要珍爱生命，保护动物! 保护动物珍爱生命作文篇二：

今天下午，我校全体师生去观看了短剧《男子汉行动》。下午一点，我们坐上了公交车，去电影院观看短剧。走在路上，我们一边观看窗外的景色，一边嬉笑着。窗外，时不时的吹来丝丝凉爽令人惬意的微风。春天已经来临，大地万物都孕育着新的生命：小草悄悄地探出了土壤，有些迟开的花儿争先恐后地竞相开放，柳树如羞涩的少女般抽出了枝条……啊!好一派醉人的春天景色!不知不觉之中，车已经来到了影视城，我们陆续地下了车，走进了影视城……《男子汉行动》讲述的是一所学校的四名学生打算植树造林，保护环境，他们把这个行动称之为“男子汉行动”。

但是，他们在路边遇到一个卖艺人，卖艺人利欲熏心，为了赚得更多的钱财，从森林里捕捉一只猴子，并残忍地“训练”和虐待它。这些“男子汉”看不过去卖艺人的这种偏激的行为，便改变了原来的计划，开始了他们新的计划——企图解救小猴子菲菲，把送回自己的家——大森林。为了实现这一目标，他们经历了偷钥匙、找钥匙、装扮猴子、解救猴子等一系列周折，最后凭借着不懈努力与团结互助的团队精神战胜了困难，取得了圆满的结局。这部影片给予我们的启迪很多，仔细回忆影片的内容，也很发人深省：一个和谐的自然环境是由人类、动物、植物联手搭建的，可以说这三者都缺一不可，所以我们必须要像保护自己一样来保护它们。近些年来，由于人类的滥杀和自然的破坏，有许多动物已经灭绝了，虽然有一些动物还没有灭绝，但其数量已是屈指可数，所以珍爱它们的生命，保护生态已成为摆在人类面前的难题。

如果人们不再保护植物，那么若干年后，我们也许就看不见这美丽的春景了;如果人们不再保护动物，最后灭亡的将是我们人类自己……同学们，让我们去唤醒人类的善良本质，珍爱生命，保护动物;让我们努力学习，用我们的智慧去促进人与自然的和谐发展。

(2)a lot of measures have been taken …

(3)however, the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved.

the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. for example , forest destruction results in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather. in addition, man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.

a lot of measures have been taken. planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment. besides, laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and achieved good results.

however, the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved. on the one hand, the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world. on the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. in a word, there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.
