问题 Listen to the following dialogue and interpret it as required. After you hear a sentence or a short passage in Chinese, interpret it into English by speaking into the microphone. After you hear a sentence or a short passage in English, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the dialogue only once. Now let’s begin.
下面你将听到一段关于塑料污染的对话。
A：今年，最重要的议题是塑料问题。从食品袋到塑料吸管，再到包含在肥皂和化妆品中的各种微珠，地球己被塑料淹没，而且这种情况还会长期继续下去。那么我们能做些什么?这个问题有多严重?
B: Well, in 2015, we were able to estimate the input of plastic from our mismanaged waste around the world, and into the ocean, and that is equal to about eight million metric tons of plastic entering the oceans every year. So if you think about it, that’s equal to about a dump truck of plastic every minute going into the ocean. It’s5 very significant.
A：以我们对塑料的了解，还有望解决这个问题吗?塑料进入海洋后，需要多长时间才能溶解或降解?
B: It really doesn’t ever biodegrade that we’re aware of. And what it does instead is fragment over time into smaller and smaller pieces. So a large plastic item then ends up as many small micro plastic items.
A：我在想这些微塑料是不是最终会进入水生生物体内，因为它们认为这是食物?
B: Certainly some of this is very much like food that animals in the marine ecosystem eat. And then we know that even some of the smallest items like the microbeads can be consumed by some of the smallest animals in our food web like zooplankton .
A：每分钟就要倾倒一车的塑料，面对这么严重的问题，你我这样的普通人能否尽一点绵薄之力呢?有哪些措施是我们普通人也能做的?
B: Reusable water bottle, reusable coffee mug, reusable bag, and no straw. I know we’ve heard them before, but our research really shows, taken collectively and over a period of time, those choices really have an impact.
A：在可预见的未来，我们是不是可以研制出一些高科技材料，既能当作塑料用，从长远来看，又不会对环境构成这么大的危害?
B: Well, we’re looking at polymers now. Of course there are things that still need to be managed within our waste stream, but I do think that thinking about new materials and product design is very important.
选项
答案A: This year the issue at the top of the agenda is plastic. From grocery bags to plastic straws to tiny micro-beads in everything from soap to make-up, the earth is swamped in plastic, and will remain so for generations to come. So what can be done? What is the scale of our plastic problem? B：2015年，我们估算了因废弃物管理不善而进入海洋的塑料数量，结果发现这相当于每年约800万公吨塑料投入海洋。所以，你仔细想，如果按自卸货车的载货量来计算，这就相当于每分钟都有一车的塑料倒入海洋。数量可观啊! A: Is there anything that we know about plastic that gives us any kind of hope ? How long does it take for plastic to dissolve or degrade, as it sits in our oceans? B：就我们所知，塑料是不会降解的，只会慢慢分解成越来越小的碎片。因此，一个大塑料块，最终会分解成许多微型塑料块。 A: And these micro plastics, I’m assuming, will they end up inside aquatic life because they think these micro plastics are food? B：当然，有的塑料与海洋生态系统里的动物的食物非常相似。我们知道，甚至像微珠这样最小的塑料块也可以被浮游动物这种食物网中最小的动物吃掉。 A: When you think about a dump truck of plastic every minute, what is the impact that you and I or any human being can have on that kind of quantity? What are the steps that we can actually take to reduce that? B：用可重复使用的水瓶，用可重复使用的咖啡杯，用可重复使用的包装袋，不要用吸管。虽然是老生常谈，但是我们的研究表明，如果每一个人都能坚持这样做，量变就会产生质变。 A: In the foreseeable future, are there any technologies on the horizon that might be good substitutes for plastic that might be less harmful to the planet in the long term? B：我们现在正在研制聚合物材料。当然了，有些材料仍然要进行妥善的废物流管理，但我认为，材料和产品设计的创新是至关重要的。
