篇
Man
and His Environment
人和环境
Throughout history man has changed his
physical environment in
order to
improve his way of life
。
With the tools of technology he has
altered many physical features of the
earth
。
He has
transformed
woodlands and prairies into
farms and made lakes and reserviors out of
rivers for irrigation purposes or
hydroelectric power
。
Man has also
modified the
face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting
through
mountains to build roads and
railways
。
人类有史以来不断改变自然环境，
以改善自我的生活方式。人类借助技术工
具改变了地球的许多自然特征。他将林地和草原
改造成为农田，使江河变成湖泊
和水库，用于灌溉或用于水力发电。人类还经过给沼泽地
排水、凿石劈山、修建
公路和铁路等方式，改变了地球的面貌。
However
，
man's changes to the physical
environment have not
always had
beneficial results
。
Today
，
pollution of the air and water is an
increasing danger to the health of the
planet
。
Each day
thousands of
tons of gases e out of the
exhausts of motor vehicles
。
Smoke from
factories
pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the
surrounding areas
of the
countryside
。
The
pollution of water is equally
harmful
。
The
whole
ecological balance of the sea is
being changed and industrial wastes have
already made many rivers
lifeless
。
然而，人类改变自然环境并不总带
来有益的结果。今日，空气和水的污染给
地球的健康造成越来越严重的危害。每一天机动
车辆的排气管排出成千上万吨废
气。工厂释放的烟雾污染了工业区和周围乡村的空气。水
污染同样有害，海洋的
整个生态平衡正在受到破坏，工业废水已使许多河流的生物死亡。
Now environmental protection is more
pressing than ever before
。
As
we
know
，
massive
destruction of environment has brought about
negative effects and even poses a great
threat to man's existence
。
Indifference to these problems will
mean mitting suicide
。
Therefore
，
effective measures should be taken and
laws passed to conserve
environment
。
Otherwise
，
man is
certain to suffer from the serious
consequences caused by this lack of
care for his living
surroundings
。
此刻，环境保护比以往任何时候都
更为紧迫。我们明白，对环境的大规模破
坏已经带来负面影响，甚至严重威胁到人类的生
存。对这些问题漠不关心将意味
着自我毁灭。所以，应采取有效措施并经过法律来保护环
境。不然的话，人类势
必遭受因其不关心生存环境而引起的严重后果之苦。
