【本題與Day 10的前半部分和Day 125的第一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)相似】

五問(wèn)：

（1）這個(gè)建議會(huì)產(chǎn)生什么好的結(jié)果？什么壞的結(jié)果？通過(guò)制定法律條文來(lái)保護(hù)存留的原生態(tài)區(qū)域有利于保護(hù)環(huán)境，保護(hù)物種多樣性；但采取過(guò)于強(qiáng)制性的手段也可能失去靈活性，導(dǎo)致更多的價(jià)值難以被開(kāi)發(fā)，限制當(dāng)?shù)氐慕?jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。

（2）這個(gè)建議會(huì)獲得哪些人的支持？會(huì)受到哪些人的反對(duì)？環(huán)境保護(hù)者會(huì)支持這個(gè)建議，但是一些希望獲取經(jīng)濟(jì)利益的商業(yè)人士可能會(huì)反對(duì)。

（3）你能否說(shuō)說(shuō)提出這條建議的原因？是因?yàn)槿祟?lèi)的開(kāi)發(fā)破壞了自然環(huán)境嗎？

（4）除了制定法律，還有其他方式可以保護(hù)原生態(tài)環(huán)境嗎？加強(qiáng)宣傳、提高人們的保護(hù)意識(shí)可以嗎？

（5）對(duì)于原生態(tài)區(qū)域而言，法律保護(hù)與合理開(kāi)發(fā)相比，哪種方式更有利于其發(fā)展？

翻譯練習(xí)：

著名的美國(guó)作家 E. B. White說(shuō)過(guò)：“如果人類(lèi)少花點(diǎn)時(shí)間證明自己在才智上更勝于自然，而將更多時(shí)間用來(lái)品味她的甜美，尊重她的資歷，那么我會(huì)對(duì)人類(lèi)的美好未來(lái)更樂(lè)觀。”這一言論傳遞了自然所具有的鼓舞人心的力量，它所包含的不計(jì)其數(shù)的奇觀以及我們都應(yīng)該有的與它和平共處的追求。

參考答案：

E. B. White, a famous American author, says that “I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.”This is a statement that conveys the inspiring power of nature, the innumerable marvels contained in it and the quest we should all share for living in harmony with it.
