Are you concerned about environmental issues?

Yes, I am very concerned about environmental issues, especially the endangerment of species and habitat fragmentation.

是的，我非常關注環境問題，尤其是物種瀕危和棲息地破碎化問題。

Due to deforestation and overexploitation, many rare species are in danger of extinction.

由於森林砍伐和過度開發，許多珍稀物種瀕臨滅絕。

Governments should take action to halt the destruction of ecosystems and reverse the trend of species loss.

各國政府應採取行動，制止對生態系統的破壞，扭轉物種減少的趨勢。

What do you do to help protect the environment?

I try to make small but meaningful changes in my daily life to reduce my environmental footprint.

我努力在日常生活中做出微小但有意義的改變，以減少對環境的影響。

For example, I install energy-efficient light bulbs, use properly insulated walls, and ensure my home has fully sealed windows to save energy.

例如，我安裝節能燈泡，使用適當隔熱的牆壁，並確保家裡的窗戶完全密封，以節約能源。

I also carpool with a co-worker or use mass transit whenever possible to reduce substantial carbon emissions.

我還儘可能與同事拼車或乘坐公共交通工具，以減少大量碳排放。

Describe an environmental campaign that you know about.

描述你所知道的一項環保運動。

You should say what the campaign is, when and where it takes place, what its goal is, and explain how effective you think it is.

你應該說明活動的內容、時間和地點、目標，並解釋你認為活動的效果如何。

One environmental campaign that I know about is the Green Movement, which aims to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness about climate change.

我知道的一個環保運動是 "綠色運動"，其目的是推廣可持續做法，提高人們對氣候變化的認識。

This movement started decades ago and continues to grow worldwide.

這一運動始於幾十年前，並在全球範圍內持續發展。

Every year, organizations under the Green Movement launch an annual campaign to encourage individuals and businesses to take environmentally friendly actions.

每年，"綠色運動 "下的組織都會發起年度運動，鼓勵個人和企業採取環保行動。

One of the key focuses is reducing the use of pesticides, which can devastate soil quality and cause hazardous materials to enter the respiratory system.

重點之一是減少殺蟲劑的使用，因為殺蟲劑會破壞土壤品質，並導致有害物質進入呼吸系統。

The campaign also educates people on alternative approaches to food production, such as organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers.

該運動還教育人們採用其他方法生產糧食，如用有機肥料代替化肥。

Another important goal of this campaign is to combat pollution.

這項運動的另一個重要目標是治理汙染。

It emphasizes fuel efficiency and encourages people to use mass transit, switch to a daily bicycle commute, and avoid fossil fuel combustion.

它強調燃油效率，鼓勵人們使用公共交通，改用自行車上下班，避免燃燒化石燃料。

By making these small changes, individuals can significantly reduce substantial carbon emissions and help in the restoration of the environment.

通過這些微小的改變，個人可以大大減少大量碳排放，幫助恢復環境。

I believe this campaign has been quite effective.

In response to public pressure, many governments have introduced new environmental policies and stricter laws to halt the destruction of forests and wildlife.

迫於公眾壓力，許多國家的政府出臺了新的環境政策和更嚴格的法律，以制止對森林和野生動物的破壞。

Sometimes, these changes are planned, but often they happen without warning.

有時，這些變化是有計劃的，但往往是在毫無徵兆的情況下發生的。

Many unintended consequences come from actions that seem harmless at first.

許多意想不到的後果來自於起初看似無害的行動。

One major issue is how humans introduce foreign elements, either intentionally or accidentally, into a given biological landscape.

一個主要問題是人類如何有意或無意地將外來元素引入特定的生物景觀。

When animals or plants from another place are brought into a new setting, they can out-compete native species.

當來自其他地方的動物或植物被帶到一個新的環境中時，它們可能會超越在地物種。

This may alter a habitat and disrupt delicate ecological balances.

這可能會改變棲息地，破壞微妙的生態平衡。

For example, certain fish or insects may prey on smaller creatures that have no genetic protections against them.

例如，某些魚類或昆蟲可能會捕食那些沒有基因保護的較小生物。

In serious cases, this leads to outright extinction of native species.

在嚴重的情況下，這會導致在地物種徹底滅絕。

As scientists explain, even a small number of foreign organisms can devastate something like a marine ecosystem or terrestrial species.

科學家解釋說，即使是少量的外來生物，也會對海洋生態系統或陸地物種造成破壞。

Another threat comes from livestock farming, which produces substantial carbon emissions and damages scarce water resources.

另一個威脅來自畜牧業，它會產生大量的碳排放，並破壞稀缺的水資源。

Large farms use chemical fertilizers, which cause soil erosion and the drainage of wetlands.

Reducing fossil fuel combustion is key, since it produces gases that affect the respiratory system of both animals and humans.

減少化石燃料燃燒是關鍵，因為燃燒產生的氣體會影響動物和人類的呼吸系統。

我們節約的每一滴自來水都很重要。

In some areas, people don't have purified water or are constantly short of water.

在一些地區，人們沒有純淨水或經常缺水。

For example, unrestricted whaling was banned in response to public pressure.

例如，在公眾壓力下，無限制捕鯨被禁止。

Many charitable trusts now support the restoration of the environment and aim to halt the destruction of endangered species.

現在，許多慈善信託基金都支持恢復環境，並致力於阻止對瀕危物種的破壞。
