从太空遥看地球,真是美极了!蓝色的水球,云遮雾障、气象万千!然而,今天的地球实在经不起细看。美国佛罗里达州沿海的海牛吃足了污染之苦,一股“红潮”,几乎要让在地球上生活了五千万年之久的海牛“断子绝孙”! 文章还向读者提供了两百多年前的一个鲜为人知的事实: one relative of the manatee,the 25—foot—long Steller’s sea cow,was hunted toextinction by 1768,just 27 years after its discovery. 再过两百多年,我们的后人是否会以同样的笔调来记叙今天发生的一切呢?不同之处,也许仅在遣词:…was hunted or poisoned extinction by the year.... 让读者感到欣慰的是,美国人把海牛当作自己的真正的朋友,为了拯救海牛做了大量工作。人类已经渐渐看清:人类和一切野生动物,从本质言,都是同一星球的居民,彼此理应成为“芳邻”!人类可不能欺“邻”太甚了! 本文有较强的可读性,尤其是对海牛那一段与“美人鱼”有涉的美丽传说,又让我们感到:人和动物本不可离。 文章的结束语振聋发聩: And so few manatees exist that each one saved,like Englewood,has an importantimpact on the survival of the species. 我们顿悟:为什么美国人对每一头患病海牛都全力以赴进行抢救。同时,上句又让我们联想到别
It’s so beautiful to see the Earth from space! Blue water polo, cloud cover, and meteorology! However, today’s earth cannot afford to take a closer look. The manatees on the coast of Florida in the United States have eaten enough of the pollution, and a “red tide” has almost to make the manatee who has lived on the earth for 50 million years “absolutely great!” The article also provided readers with a little-known fact more than two hundred years ago: one relative of the manatee, the 25-foot-long Steller’s sea cow, was hunted toextinction by 1768, just 27 years after its discovery. For more than two hundred years, will our descendants write about what happened today with the same tone? The difference may be only in the words:...was hunted or poisoned extinction by the year.... Yes, Americans treat sea cows as their true friends and do a lot of work to save the sea cows. Humanity has gradually seen that humans and all wild animals, from the essence of words, are residents of the same planet and should be regarded as “fang neighbors” for each other! Human beings cannot bully “neighborhood” too much! This article has a strong readability, especially the legend of the manatee that relates to the “mermaid”, let us feel: people and animals are inseparable. Our concluding remarks: And so few manatees exist that each one saved, like Englewood, has an important impact on the survival of the species. We came to understand: Why do Americans go all out to rescue every diseased sea cow? At the same time, the above sentence reminded us of the difference
