But in the battle to preserve the mangroves -- and in the long run, perhaps Bangladesh itself -- the difficulties are increasing. Dhaka has green-lit the construction of a large, Indian-backed, coal-fired power station at Rampal, on the edge of the Sundarbans, a move that could pave the way for other polluting industries. China is proposing more dams in the Brahmaputra basin, potentially jeopardizing the mangroves' remaining freshwater supply. And the climate keeps on changing, bringing ever more erratic rains, storms, and temperature swings.

但在保衛(wèi)紅樹(shù)林的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中--從孟加拉國(guó)的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看來(lái)--面臨的困難還在逐漸增加。達(dá)卡在孫德本爾斯邊界的朗帕爾開(kāi)了一家大型燃煤發(fā)電廠，它也得到了印度政府的支持，這一舉動(dòng)給其它污染性產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展開(kāi)辟了道路。中國(guó)仍在提倡在雅魯藏布江建更多的大壩，這將會(huì)進(jìn)一步影響紅樹(shù)林僅存的淡水供應(yīng)。而氣候變化的加劇使得當(dāng)?shù)氐慕涤炅亢蜌鉁馗硬环€(wěn)定。

As the troubles mount, some locals wonder: In the land that mangroves built, will climate change be king?

隨著問(wèn)題的累積，一些當(dāng)?shù)厝藛?wèn)道：在這片紅樹(shù)林生長(zhǎng)的地區(qū)，氣候變化會(huì)成為最后的王嗎？

"The Sundarbans built this country," Bulu Haldar said. "Perhaps the Sundarbans" -- or the loss of this forested region -- "will destroy it."

“孫德本爾斯造就了這個(gè)國(guó)家，”布魯·哈爾達(dá)說(shuō)道?！耙苍S也是孫德本爾斯--或者這片森林的消失--會(huì)最后毀掉它?！?/p>
