牛津英语8b课文翻译 Chapter3 The Green Consumer

Question

The Young Green Consumer Guide says that our world is in danger. We must do something to save Earth. There are many environmental problems. What are they?

The greenhouse effect
The writers ask us to imagine Earth inside a kind of greenhouse. The atmosphere around Earth acts like the glass. It lets sunlight in and keeps much of the warmth from getting out. It is important to us all. 'Without it, Earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon .'
'The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals -- in the form of gases -- and it is keeping in too muchheat!' This will cause the level of seas to rise and drown cities and even countries.

Destruction of rainforests
The burning and cutting down of trees is making the greengouse effect worse because tree take in harmful gases. It will also cause floods because trees can help hold soil together,and soil absorbs water when it rains .

Bad habits
Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. this creates mountains of rubbish and it pollutes our land and seas. For example, people throw away as many as ten nillion bottles in the UK every year. That is enough to reach all the way from Earth to the moon.

How can we save earth?
In prder to save Earth, the book is aksing us to become 'green consumers'. That is, we should only buy and use 'environmentally friendly' things. These things will not damage the environment.

Answer 1

The Young Green Consumer Guide says that our world is in danger. We must do something to save Earth. There are many environmental problems. What are they?
青年人绿色消费指南上指出我们的世界正处于危险之中。我们必须为拯救地球而采取些行动。现在存在许多的环境问题，他们都是什么呢？

The greenhouse effect
The writers ask us to imagine Earth inside a kind of greenhouse. The atmosphere around Earth acts like the glass. It lets sunlight in and keeps much of the warmth from getting out. It is important to us all. 'Without it, Earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon .'
'The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals -- in the form of gases -- and it is keeping in too muchheat!' This will cause the level of seas to rise and drown cities and even countries.
温室效应
笔者让我们把地球内部想象成一种温室。包围地球的大气层则起着玻璃罩的作用，大气层让阳光照射到地球上并且防止温度消散，它对我们都很重要。“没有大气层，地球会向月球上一样冰冷，毫无生气。”“但问题在于我们的大气层正在起变化，因为我们人类正在用气体形式的各种化学物质污染它——并且现在的大气层正在积聚大量的热量！”这种变化会导致海平面上升从而淹没城市，甚至是国家。

Destruction of rainforests
The burning and cutting down of trees is making the greengouse effect worse because tree take in harmful gases. It will also cause floods because trees can help hold soil together,and soil absorbs water when it rains .
雨林的破坏
烧毁和砍伐树木加剧了温室效应，因为树会吸收有害气体。烧毁砍伐树木还会引起洪灾，原因在于树木可以加固土壤，在下雨的时候，土壤则会吸收雨水。

Bad habits
Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. this creates mountains of rubbish and it pollutes our land and seas. For example, people throw away as many as ten nillion bottles in the UK every year. That is enough to reach all the way from Earth to the moon.
坏习惯
我们人类的许多习惯导致了污染，特别是我们使用一次性制品的习惯，这会造成堆积如山的垃圾并且污染我们的陆地和海洋。例如，每年在英国，人们会扔掉相当于一千万个的瓶子。这个数量加起来足以构成从地球通往月球的距离。

How can we save earth?
In prder to save Earth, the book is aksing us to become 'green consumers'. That is, we should only buy and use 'environmentally friendly' things. These things will not damage the environment.
我们如何拯救地球？
为了拯救地球，这本书上要求我们成为“绿色消费者”。也就是说我们应该只购买和使用“有利于环境”的东西。这些东西不会毁坏环境。

Answer 2

The Young Green Consumer Guide says that our world is in danger. We must do something to save Earth. There are many environmental problems. What are they?
《青年人绿色消费指南》指出，我们的世界正处于危险之中。我们必须采取行动来拯救地球。（现在世界上）有许多环境问题。他们都有哪些呢？
The greenhouse effect温室效应
The writers ask us to imagine Earth inside a kind of greenhouse. The atmosphere around Earth acts like the glass. It lets sunlight in and keeps much of the warmth from getting out. It is important to us all. 'Without it, Earth would be as cold and lifeless as the surface of the moon .'
作者让我们想象一下在一种温室效应里的地球。包围着地球的大气层就像玻璃一样。它使阳光投射进来而防止大部分的温暖散发（大气的保温作用）。这对我们所有生物来说是重要的。如果没有了它（即指大气的保温作用），地球就会像月球表面那样冰冷、没有生气。
'The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals -- in the form of gases -- and it is keeping in too much heat!' This will cause the level of seas to rise and drown cities and even countries.
问题是我们的大气层正在改变，因为我们正用化学物质污染它——以气体的形式——而且大气中保持着过多的热量。这将会使得海平面上升，从而淹没城市甚至国家。

Destruction of rainforests热带雨林的破环
The burning and cutting down of trees is making the greenhouse effect worse because tree take in harmful gases. It will also cause floods because trees can help hold soil together,and soil absorbs water when it rains .
树木的焚烧和砍伐正在加剧温室效应，（make sth. worse本意是使……更糟糕）因为树木可以吸收有害的气体。它同时也将引发（cause本意为造成）洪涝灾害因为树木可以帮助防止水土流失。
Bad habits不良的（生活）习惯
Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. This creates mountains of rubbish and it pollutes our land and seas. For example, people throw away as many as ten nillion bottles in the UK every year. That is enough to reach all the way from Earth to the moon.
我们的许多生活习惯会造成污染，尤其是我们使用一次性物品后就扔了他们的习惯。它会造成垃圾堆积成山，而且会污染我们的土地和海洋。举个例子，在英国，每年人们要扔掉一千万个或十万亿个塑料瓶。【因为我不知道这里原文到底是billion还是million，请你去看一下课文。million百万，billion 1.(在美国、法国)十亿 2. (在英国、德国)万亿）】把这些瓶子连起来足够从地球到达月球。

How can we save earth?我们如何拯救地球？
In order to save Earth, the book is asking us to become 'green consumers'. That is, we should only buy and use ‘environmentally friendly' things. These things will not damage the environment.
为了拯救地球，指南上要求我们成为“绿色消费者”。也就是说，我们应该只购买和使用“环境友好型”产品（即对环境无害的，不污染环境的产品）这些产品将不会破坏环境。
