Section 29
Global Warming
Some people say the earth is getting warmer.
They blame something called greenhouse gasses.
The greenhouse gasses destroy the higher atmosphere that keeps our planet from getting too hot.
CFCs are the gasses that cause one of the biggest problems in global warming.
CFCs destroy some of the ozone that is in the higher atmosphere.
The ozone layer helps us by filter out some of the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.
These rays can cause skin cancer in humans.
These rays can also help to heat up our planet.
Over the polar ice caps, we now have holes in the ozone layer.
These, people believe, contribute to world’s global warming.
One of its effects could have is to speed up the melting of the polar ice caps.
If these melt too quickly, the level of the sea will rise too fast for us to control it.
The effect of a rise in the height of the sea will be dramatic.
Many of the world’s major cities will be under sea water.
So, global warming can be very dangerous to our future environment.
Section 29 Global Warming二十九 全球的暖化
1.Some people say the earth is getting warmer. 有人說地球正在變暖。
2.They blame something called greenhouse gasses. 人們把它歸結(jié)為“溫室效應(yīng)”。
3.The greenhouse gasses destroy the higher atmosphere that keeps our planet from getting too hot. 溫室效應(yīng)破壞了保護我們地球(以免地球)應(yīng)得太熱的高空大氣層。
4.CFCs are the gasses that cause one of the biggest problems in global warming. 氟氯化碳是導(dǎo)致全球變暖的主要氣體。
5.CFCs destroy some of the ozone that is in the higher atmosphere. 氟氯化碳破壞了高空的部分臭氧層。
6.The ozone layer helps us by filter out some of the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. 臭氧層過濾了陽光中的部分有害的紫外線。
7.These rays can cause skin cancer in humans. 這些射線會使人致癌。
8.These rays can also help to heat up our planet. 這些射線也會使我們的星球升溫。
9.Over the polar ice caps, we now have holes in the ozone layer. 在兩極的冰川地帶,人們發(fā)現(xiàn)了臭氧層的破洞。
10.These, people believe, contribute to world’s global warming. 人們認為這些是因為地球變暖導(dǎo)致的。
11.One of its effects could have is to speed up the melting of the polar ice caps. 其影響之一,就是加速極地冰川的融化。
12.If these melt too quickly, the level of the sea will rise too fast for us to control it. 如果這些冰川融化得太快,每平面將快速上升,讓人無法控制。
13.The effect of a rise in the height of the sea will be dramatic. 海平面升高帶來的影響產(chǎn)銷量悲劇性的。
14.Many of the world’s major cities will be under sea water. 世界上許多重要的城市將被淹沒在海水中。
15.So, global warming can be very dangerous to our future environment. 就是說,全球變暖對未來環(huán)境的影響將是十分危險的。
