关于保护动物的英语作文(经典20篇)

尊敬的广大市民朋友：

“十八大”报告明确提出建设美丽中国的新构想，把生态文明建设放在突出地位，凸显了人与自然、人与社会和谐共生的重要性。大家知道，我们生活在一个庞大的生态系统中，许许多多的生物组成了我们周围的生态系统，野生动物就是其中的重要组成部分，是人类的朋友，保护发展和合理利用野生动物资源，对改善自然环境，促进人与自然的和谐，保持生物多样性，维护生态平衡，建设美丽中国有着重要意义。近年来由于人类不加限制的开发利用，导致了大量物种灭绝，资源种类减少，生态环境退化，人类生存环境日趋恶劣。为了缓解人与自然的矛盾，顺应自然发展规律，我们必须行动起来，从我做起，从现在做起，伸出我们的双手，献出我们的爱心，以实际行动保护和拯救野生动物，建设好美丽家园、美丽中国。

每年5月是野生动物保护宣传月。每年5月3日-5月8日是爱鸟周。

阜康市林业局是我市野生动物资源保护管理的职能部门，长期以来在宣传普及野保知识及法律法规和查处野保案件方面做了大量工作，市内野生动物生存、发展环境得以改善，野生动物物种逐年增多。但目前社会对保护野生动物的认识不足，滥捕、滥猎、滥食野生动物时有发生，保护野生动物的氛围亟待加强。因此我们呼吁全体市民行动起来，积极参与支持野生动物保护，为此我们提出如下倡议：

一、 全民动员，奉献爱心，保护和珍爱野生动物。

二、 不非法猎捕、杀害野生动物;

三、 不在集贸市场和其他场所非法销售野生动物及产品;

四、 餐饮行业不将野生动物及产品作为菜肴进行销售、广告，餐馆的名称不以“野味”字样冠名;

五、 客货承运业主自觉拒运野生动物及产品;

六、 广大市民自觉拒吃野生动物及其产品;

七、 广大市民积极举报非法捕杀、贩卖、食用、运输野生动物及产品的行为。

百虎围村，这场惊心动魄的人与野兽的博弈结果如何？带着好奇我翻开了《百虎围村》这本书。愚昧的村民为了改善生活肆意破坏森林、打猎打虎，终于在一次捕捉了虎崽后彻底激怒了老虎们——百虎围村。村民们失去了所有牲畜，而老虎们也遭受了灭顶捕杀，野生华南虎从此杳无踪迹。

带着对百虎围村夺幼崽的敬佩和对华南虎几近灭绝的惋惜，我继续阅读，一个个惊险感人的动物故事跃然纸上：雄林麝为救妻子奋不顾身；兔狲屡战恶人报恩少女；丛林猫护子心切智杀蟒蛇……

大开眼界的同时我被深深地震撼了：动物是充满灵性的，它们有情有义、机智勇敢、爱憎分明，丝毫不比自诩为“高级灵长类动物”的人类逊色。当人类爱护它们时，它们会涌泉相报；然而当人类为了一己私欲不给它们留活路时，它们也不会给人类留活路。我不禁想起了林肯的话——“我对人权和动物权益一样重视，这也应是全体人类该有的共识。”我希望越来越多的人能够敬畏自然、保护动物，我相信如果我们与自然和平共处，大自然也会毫不吝啬地馈赠我们。

Animals Need Protecting

Everyone knows animals are our friends。 So we should be friendly to them。 But some people kill the rare animals， such as pandas， golden monkeys and so on in order to get money。 It will cause these animals to disappear soon。 I think our government should punish those people severely who kill the rare animals。 It is our duty to protect the endangered animals。

water is very important for us.

we must drink water everyday. we can’t live without water. water is everywhere around us. at home, we use water to wash clothes, to wash dishes, to cook rice, to clean the flat, to have showers, to make drinks, to clean our teeth, to have a bath and so on.

at work, people use water to put out fires, to grow vegetables, to make things in factories and so on. we also can swim in the sea.

water is important for us, isn’t it?

我也是一知青挖家族的一员，我从小就痛恨人们，整天跟着妈妈东躲西藏，一天我来到青蛙学校，校长说：“今我们不是学习怎么样捉害虫，而是学习怎么逃避人类的毒手……”校长的话还没有说完，一只大手就把我和他抓住了。我嚎啕大哭起来。坏人把我和校长放在一个麻袋里面，那里还有许多我的同类，他们都在悲伤地哭泣。

坏人把我们背到街上去卖，公安民警看见了，把他抓了起来，我也不知道把那人怎么处理了，我就听到有人在宣布一句话：“我国法律规定，不允许乱捉青蛙，违规者罚款三千元，”又对他进行了一番思想教育……

我们被放回了池塘，在民警的保护下，我们的日子算好过多了。我们一边捕捉着害虫，一边还是小心翼翼地学习保护自己的绝招……

On Water Shortage

No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected peoples daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.

A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical ones. First, with the development of agriculture and industry, an increasing amount of water is needed. Secondly, the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides, the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. Whats worse, pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly, people should enhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken, it is reasonable

for us to expect a brighter future.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is clearly shown in the bar chart, the kinds of wild animals have decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced on average each year, there were only 1.5 million left till 2010.

There are several reasons accounting for this problem. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters, illegal killing is an important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for fashion and a big profit, which can be seen vividly from the right picture. This has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion, it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. A national public campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some firm laws to forbid abuse killing. Only in this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

许多动物都面临灭绝的危险。显然这个柱状图所示,野生动物的种类急剧下降在过去的几十年。每年平均30000野生动物减少,只剩下150万到2010。

占这个问题有几个原因。除了环境污染和自然灾害,非法捕杀是一个重要的原因。人类正在试图猎杀野生动物对于时尚和一个很大的利润,从右边可以看到生动的画面。这导致了动物的数量急剧减少。

在我看来,我们是时候采取快速行动保护他们。国家公共活动应该推出给动物一个良好的生活环境。此外,政府应该通过一些公司法律禁止虐待杀害。只有用这种方法我们才能与野生动物和谐相处。

亲爱的同学们：

动物是我们人类的朋友，我们应该保护它们。

动物们需要好的生活环境，但是环境已遭到了严重的破坏。汽车排放的废气使得全球气候变暖，南北极的冰雪开始融化，可爱的企鹅也不能生存了，工厂排放的废水流进了江河湖海，让许多生活在水里的动物没有生活的家了。我们一定要保护好我们的环境，让那些可爱的动物有更好的生活环境。

大家都非常喜欢那些可爱的动物，但是大家在观赏动物的同时，请不要把喂食变成了坏事，因为饲养员为他们准备好了食物，动物吃太多的东西会生病的呀!因此我们不能随便把自己所带的东西投放到动物园中。

现在，人们的餐桌上仍有那些珍稀的保护动物，大家应该减少和杜绝捕杀和食用这些保护动物。

让我们携起手来一起保护这些珍稀而又可爱的动物吧!

同学们、老师们：

亲爱的全体同学：

野生动物是人类的朋友，是自然生态系统的重要组成部分，是大自然赋予人类的宝贵自然资源。保护野生动物，维护自然生态平衡，不仅关系到人类的生存与发展，也是衡量一个国家、一个民族、一个地区文明进步的重要标志。

我国是一个野生动物资源非常丰富的国家，但是由于生态环境的恶化，野生动物栖息地的人为破坏，致使我国野生动物的数量，分布范围正日益缩小，许多种类已处于濒临灭绝的状态。近几年，滥食野生动物的现象屡禁不止，使得许多已经处于濒临灭绝的野生动物的处境更加艰难。最近，有记者采访调查表明:很多地方滥食野生动物的现象还十分严重，滥食野生动物的行为也正受到越来越多人们的谴责，要彻底改变滥食野生动物这种不文明的行为，需要社会各界的共同努力。

为此，我们倡议:加大《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》的普法力度，媒体和社会各有关部门，要进一步加强对保护野生动物的普法宣传教育工作，使《野生动物保护法》的宣传家喻户晓，深入人心。

我们倡议:保护野生动物是全社会共同的责任，林业、工商、卫生检疫、公安、交通等有关部门认真履行职责，相互配合。坚决打击非法盗猎、非法运输、非法经营野生动物的违法行为，全社会也要积极行动起来，举报并协助执法部门，坚决与各种破坏野生动物的违法行为作斗争。

我们倡议:为了保护生态环境、为了保护野生动物资源、为了我们的身心健康，不食野生动物，树立饮食新观念，摒弃不良饮食陋习，保护野生动物从餐桌做起。争做文明、守法、有爱心的公民。

朋友们，为了人类共同的生存环境，让我们共同努力，一起行动起来，从我做起，从小事做起，让大地处处充满生命的绿色，让野生动物与我们在同一片蓝天下平安地生活。

让我们携手共创21世纪人类与野生动物和谐共存的美好家园!

I have a dog, it is lovely, it is called Mimi. Every time I go home from school, Mimi always cruising around me, I will go to the kitchen to get a piece of meat to it, it lay on the floor to eat. My legs and then jump to bark "Wang "called, so I picked up Mimi, it is the opportunity to lick my hand, making me laugh.

I like Mimi, like puppies.

我有一条小狗，它很可爱，它叫咪咪。每当我放学回家时，咪咪总是围着我绕圈，我便去厨房拿一片肉给它，它就趴在地板上吃。然后跳到我腿上汪汪汪地叫，于是我抱起咪咪，它就乘机舔我的手，逗得我哈哈大笑。

我喜欢咪咪，喜欢小狗。

Four little short legs, a fat, body, and a thorn and a small head and soft abdomen. Gather together a lovely and clever little hedgehog.

Little hedgehog is very cute, its whole body, in addition to the abdomen, the other parts are all full of thorns, like a small ball. Is everybody loved them.

Hedgehog thorns but its weapons, whenever meet enemies, it will shrink into a terrible thorn ball, even ferocious wild boar with it cant.

Hedgehog claws have sharp eagle claw, so, this is a hedgehog capture one of the good helper of other small animals!

In melon field, it is known, "a thief steal melons" it "steal" the melon method can and human picking melons method is not the same as well - when night falls, the little hedgehog will sneak up to melon field, the skin will be back into the "steel stab", then, a turn, they slipped behind the melon.

Hedgehog still have a kind of magic power, it is not only can swim, can catch a snake in the water! A hedgehog can swim because it lives in the bushes, afraid of hot, so can swim. It will catch a snake because it not only like to eat snakes, and the snake is cartilage, is afraid of the hedgehog.

I really want to know why the hedgehog has so many hard thorns? Did they to protect themselves, and evolve? Should be like this? Every time see little hedgehog, I think so.

This is my idea of a small animal, a hedgehog. Needless to say how much I like it.

四只小短腿，一个胖乎乎，并带刺的身体，加上小巧的脑袋和柔软的腹部。凑成了可爱机灵的小刺猬。

小刺猬很可爱，它的全身，除了腹部，其他部分全都长满了刺，像一个小刺球。真是人见人爱。

刺猬的刺可是它的武器，每当遇到天敌时，它就会缩成一个可怕的刺球，就连凶猛的野猪也拿它没办法。

刺猬的爪子有老鹰的爪子那样锐利，所以，这还是刺猬捕捉其他小动物的好帮手之一呢!

在瓜地里，它还是远近闻名的“偷瓜贼”，它“偷”瓜的方法可和人类摘瓜的方法不一样哦——每当夜幕降临，小刺猬就会偷偷窜到瓜地里，将瓜皮刺进背上的“钢刺”里，然后，一翻身，就背着瓜溜走了。

刺猬还有一种神奇的本领，就是不仅会游泳，还会在水里抓蛇!刺猬会游泳是因为它生活在灌木丛内，怕热，所以会游泳。它会抓蛇是因为它不仅仅喜欢吃蛇，而且，蛇是软骨组织，是怕刺猬的。

我很想知道刺猬为什么身上有那么多的硬刺?难道是它们为了保护自己，而演化出来的吗?应该是这样的吧?每当看到小刺猬时，我都这么想。

这就是我心目中的小动物——刺猬。不用说我是多么喜欢它了。

Marine biological environment is a complex system including sea water, sea water, soluble matter and suspended matter, seabed sediments and marine organisms. The rich biological resources, mineral resources, chemical resources and power resources in the sea are indispensable human resources treasure houses, which are closely related to the survival and development of mankind.

保护环境英语作文篇3

There are many diseases that are harmful to human health and even threaten human life. Human into the 21st century, the world has occurred in the number of amazing changes. In the people for the rapid development of science and technology, but also experienced a better anxiety and even disaster. In addition to the panic of the development of high-tech, especially biotechnology, war and disease seem to bring mankind directly to the door of hell.

Water pollution on the human body harm, the body in the process of metabolism, with drinking water and food, the water of various elements through the digestive tract into the various parts of the body. When the lack of water in some of the human life process necessary elements, will affect human health. For example, in some areas of water iodine deficiency, long-term consumption of this water, it will lead to "big neck disease", is the medicine called "endemic goiter." When the water contains harmful substances, the greater harm to the human body. Carcinogenic substances can be consumed by eating contaminated food (food, vegetables, fish, etc.), into the human body, but also through the water into the human body. According to the survey, drinking contaminated water, suffering from liver cancer and gastric cancer and other cancer incidence, than drinking clean water is about 61,5% higher. When the sewage contains mercury, cadmium and other elements into rivers and lakes, the aquatic plants put mercury, cadmium and other elements to absorb and enrich them, fish eat aquatic plants, and in its body to further enrichment, people eat poisonous Fish, mercury, cadmium and other elements in the human body enrichment, so that the human body and death. In this way, from the aquatic plants → aquatic small animals → small fish → big fish → the body, forming a food chain. The body eventually became mercury, cadmium and other elements of the "foothold."

Water pollution hazards to aquatic organisms Water lives in a variety of aquatic animals and plants. Biological and water, between biological and biological complex material and energy exchange, from the number to maintain a dynamic balance. But under the influence of human activities, this balance has been destroyed. Some of the beneficial aquatic organisms are poisoned when humans release pollutants into the water, and some of the stained aquatic organisms will multiply, consume a lot of oxygen dissolved in the water, so that the beneficial aquatic life is forced to relocate due to hypoxia Or death. In particular, some toxic elements, both difficult to dissolve in water and easy accumulation in the body, causing great harm to humans. Such as mercury in the water content is very low, but the content of aquatic organisms is very high, the content in the fish is also surprisingly high. Assuming that the concentration of mercury in the water body is 1, the concentration of mercury in the aquatic organisms is about 700, and the concentration of mercury in the fish is as high as 860. Thus, when the water is contaminated, on the one hand led to biological and water, biological and biological balance between the damage, on the other hand some of the toxic substances continue to transfer and enrichment, and ultimately endanger human health and life.

Our environment is getting worse and worse now. People throw their garbage here and there. Factories make more and more dirty water that has polluted the rivers and lakes. What should we do?

We must find ways to stop pollution. Waste water must be cleaned before it is poured into the river. People shouldn‘t throw away rubbish here and there. We should pick up the garbage around us. We‘d better plant more trees.

I‘m sure if we take care of our environment, our world will be more beautiful!

现在我们的环境越来越糟。人们把他们的垃圾这里和那里。工厂使越来越多的脏水污染了河流和湖泊。我们应该做些什么呢?

我们必须找到方法来制止污染。废水必须清洁之前倒进河里。人们不应该到处扔垃圾。我们应该捡起身边的垃圾。我们最好种植更多的树木。

我相信如果我们照顾我们的环境,我们的世界将会更美丽!

When I was a child I want to tap water, water has been flowing nonstop not? Mom and dad always told me what was recently and drought.

动物是我们人类的好朋友，我们不能伤害它们，但有些人却为了自已的利益，不顾那些可怜的小动物的生命，去践踏它们，捕杀它们。

记得那是今年暑假的一天，我和姥姥在公路的一边坐着聊天，我看见一只小猫想穿过马路去吃对面的一块肉，谁知，小猫刚走到马路中间，一辆大卡车过来了，司机先生一边按喇叭，一边嘴里骂道：“死猫走开。”小猫还没理解了司机的意思，司机先生已不耐烦了，他一踩油门，一个小生命就这样死在了满载货物的大卡车的车轮下。我看着这一幕又气愤又伤心，为了纪念这只可怜的小猫，所以我想把这一天——7月2日设立为保护动物节。

到了每年的这一天，人们都要为保护动物做贡献，要让小动物轻松愉快地度过这一天，不能让它们受到伤害，小动物不管到了谁家，人们都要热情招待它们，最后，我们还要用各种不同的方式去宣传小动物对人类的帮助。让世界上的每一个人都要保护小动物。

我盼望这个节日早日诞生。

很多人多喜欢养一些小动物做宠物，那么你知道要怎么用英语介绍它们吗?下面小编为大家带来有关介绍动物的英语作文，欢迎大家学习! 介绍动物英语作文一：

[介绍动物英语作文

I have a parrot. Its my favorite animal. Its name is Gaga because it always makes sounds like that. We picked it up in the parking lot six years ago. We released a revelation but had no one to claim. It doesnt change a lot but its color becomes more and more beautiful. We say that its a handsome boy. It can imitate some simple words and phrases, like hello or greet to my grandmother. My grandmother often talks to it or plays music for it. We think that its some kind of clever, because it always makes sounds when its boring or hungry. It adds a lot of fun to our lives.

我有一只鹦鹉，它是我最喜欢的动物。它的名字叫嘎嘎，因为它总是发出这样的声音。六年前我们在停车场捡到它。我们发了启示，但是没有人认领。它没有多大的变化，但是它的颜色变得越来越漂亮了。我们说它是一个帅小伙。它可以模仿一些简单的词和词组，比如你好，或者像奶奶问好之类的。我奶奶经常和它聊天或者放音乐给它听。我们觉得它又点聪明，因为它无聊或是饿了的时候总是会发出声音。它给我们的生活增添了许多乐趣。

世界上有成千上万的野生动物，它们都是我们人类的朋友，我们应该要保护它们，关爱它们，不要伤害它们。我相信我们对它们友好，它们也一样会对我们很友好的。

比如说燕子，燕子能帮我们把田里的害虫吃掉。如果我们人类杀害捕捉它们，它们会吃掉那些常常来搔扰我们的蚊子，让我们更好地生活吗 没有了燕子，我们的周围变得很多害虫，这些害虫对我们人类有很大的坏处呀!

比如说青蛙，青蛙也能帮我们吃田里的害虫，可以说是田里的警察。我们支捕杀他们，一旦没有了青蛙，田里的害虫越来越多，害虫不断地吃菜，难道我们会有美好的丰收吗?

比如说啄木鸟，啄木鸟是森林中的医生，它可以帮我们吃掉树里的害虫，让树恢复健康。我们杀害它们，树木的害虫会越来越多，树木会慢慢地减少。地球上没有树，会发洪水、地震。

比如说猫头鹰，猫头鹰捉田鼠，是对我们人类有好处的，人类却常常捕猎它们。没有猫头鹰，田鼠会增加。田鼠吃的庄稼和菜就更多了，我们人类一样没有好的收成。

所以，我们要保护以上的动物。同时，我们还要保护其他的野生动物!

今天夜晚，我和爸爸在电脑上查了对我们有益的小动物，我们在网上找到了许多对我们有益的小动物，比如：蜻蜓、燕子、青蛙、蚯蚓、蜜蜂、蛇、猫头鹰、啄木鸟等。下面就说说它们对人类有哪些益处吧！

蜻蜓生活在水边，扑捉蚊子等小飞虫，免得叮咬人畜，传播疾病；燕子是候鸟，专门扑食空中飞虫，如；蝗虫、蚂蚱等害虫；对农作物生长有益的青蛙生活在稻田里，每天能吃70多条害虫，是农民伯伯的好帮手；啄木鸟是森林的好医生，它们可以从树掏出蛀虫来，每天吃上千条害虫，好厉害啊！猫头鹰专吃传播疾病和破坏庄稼的老鼠……。

这些小动物可都对人类有益的，为人类作出了贡献哦，它们都是我们的好朋友，我们一定要好好地保护它们。首先，我们要爱护环境，让这些小动物有安身之处；其次，我们小朋友还可以成立保护小动物的队伍，宣传小动物对人类的益处，告诉别人不要扑食这些小动物……当然，可行的措施还不止这些，希望所有的人都行动起来，为保护好小动物献计献策。

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?
