Interpret the following passages from English into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear each passage only once. Now, let’s begin.
Today, I would like to talk to you about why we need to protect our oceans which, closely connected to lakes, streams, wetlands and rivers, create a water system that covers 70 percent of the earth’s surface. The health of our oceans is also critical to our wellbeing. Let me give you an example. We humans consume over 100 million tons of food from the oceans every year. This translates into 18 percent of our protein intake. When the oceans are polluted, decrease of aquatic products will lead to rising poverty and hunger.
Climate change has caused the temperature of the oceans to fluctuate and the height of waves to increase at a very fast rate. A major tidal wave in severe weather such as typhoons and storms will have grave consequences for coastal cities. This is a big problem for our planet. Forty percent of the world’s population lives within a coastal zone, and a quarter of that total lives in a low-lying coastal area. More severe storms are going to lead to more flooding of those areas, destroying homes and businesses and causing economic disasters. Keep in mind that when I talk about coastal living, it is not just farms or fishing villages, but major cities. The number of mega cities located in coastal areas increased from just one in 1950 to more than 14 in 2011. And the trend is to keep developing in this fashion. Almost without exception, we have polluted or severely changed virtually every major river system around the world. And this invariably leads to pollution of the oceans.
We must consider what steps we should take to protect the oceans. First, we cannot possibly tame the world’s oceans, rivers, lakes, or weather patterns. It is simply unrealistic to think that we can build increasingly higher dykes to completely protect ourselves from the power of nature. Second, nature itself provides a solution. In the case of flooding, pollution, and rising tides, wetlands provide a natural buffer zone. We have destroyed these environments because we do not understand their significance. We must restore them for our own protection. Blind urban development in coastal areas should stop.
Third, there is no question that we must take steps to reduce the output of waste including fertilizers and chemicals going into our water systems and oceans. Agriculture is the biggest offender, but the reduction of these products on our lawns will have a powerful impact on the health of river systems and oceans. Another simple yet effective solution is reducing the use of plastic water bottles.
While we must take actions along rivers and coastal areas, we must not limit our vision to them. We must also focus on exploration of the deep-ocean environment. Ninety percent of the oceans are unexplored. The deep oceans have abundant natural resources that can be used for energy, food and medicine, to name a few. We must also protect whales and sharks, whose survival is threatened. They are the guards of the sea. If we listen, they tell us what is happening in the ocean environment. Understanding their immune systems can help us prepare for any adverse changes in our own environment. We must also protect the food chain in our oceans and waterways so that it will help ensure a balanced maritime environment.
Our world is an ocean planet, and so we must think about what surrounds us. We cannot take it for granted if we seek to thrive as human beings. And each and every one of us must endeavor to protect our oceans by thinking about them, caring for them and taking steps to be more in harmony with them.
选项
答案
今天,我想和大家谈一谈,我们为什么需要保护我们的海洋。海洋与湖泊、溪流、湿地以及河流紧密相连,形成了覆盖地球表面70%的水域系统。海洋健康对于确保我们的生活水平十分重要。我给大家举一个例子。我们人类每年消耗一亿多吨海洋提供的食物,这相当于我们蛋白质摄入的18%。当海洋受污染时,海产品的减少将导致贫困和饥饿的加剧。 气候变化导致海洋温度发生波动,并使海浪高度快速上升。台风和风暴等恶劣天气产生的巨浪将对沿海城市产生严重影响。这是事关我们星球的大问题。全世界人口的40%生活在沿海一带,其中四分之一生活在地势低洼的沿海地区。肆虐的风暴将导致这些地区遭受更多的洪涝,摧毁住房和企业,从而造成经济灾难。请记住,当我谈到沿海生计的时候,我指的并不只是农场和渔村,而是指大城市。1950年,只有一个超级沿海城市,到2011年,超级城市的数目已超过14个,而这一趋势将继续发展下去。我们已经几乎毫无例外地污染或严重改变了世界上几乎所有主要河流系统,而所有这一切都造成海洋污染。 我们必须考虑应采取什么措施来保护海洋。首先,我们不可能改变世界海洋、河流、湖泊,或者气象模式。如果认为可以通过修建越来越高的海堤完全保护自己免遭大自然力量的冲击,那是根本不现实的。第二,自然界本身会有解决办法。当洪水、污染和涨潮来袭时,湿地就提供了天然的缓冲区。但我们破坏了这些环境,因为我们不了解它们的重要性。为了保护我们自己,我们必须把环境恢复。应当停止在沿海地区盲目开发。 第三,无疑,我们必须采取措施,减少排放到水域系统和海洋中的废物,包括肥料和化学品。农业是产生这些废物的主要来源。但是,减少在草坪上使用这些产品,将会对保持河流系统和海洋的健康产生巨大的影响。另一个简单有效的办法是减少使用塑料瓶。 我们必须在河流和沿海地区采取行动,但决不能把目光局限于此。我们还必须重视勘察深海环境。90%的海洋尚未得到勘察。大洋深处有丰富的自然资源可用以生产诸如能源、食品和药品等。我们必须保护生存受到威胁的鲸和鲨鱼。它们是海洋的卫士。如果我们倾听的话,它们会告诉我们,海洋环境中正在发生什么。了解它们的免疫系统可以帮助我们防范我们自身环境中产生的任何有害变化。我们必须保护海洋和河流中的食物链,从而帮助我们保持海洋环境的平衡。 我们的世界是一个海洋世界,所以我们必须考虑到我们周围的海洋。人类要繁荣,就不能不重视海洋。我们每一个人都必须关注海洋、关爱海洋,采取措施与海洋保持更和谐的关系,从而尽力保护我们的海洋。
