10 Nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state, even if these areas could be developed for economic gain

Nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state,even if these areas could be developed for economic gain.

Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.

文勇五问:

(1)这个建议会产生什么好的结果和坏的结果?通过制定法律条文来保护现存的原生态地区,有利于保护环境,保护物种多样性;但采取过于强制性的手段也可能失去灵活性,使更多的价值难以得到开发,限制当地的经济发展。

(2)这个建议会获得哪些人的支持?会受到哪些人的反对?环境保护者会支持这个政策,但是一些希望从中获取经济利益的商人可能会反对。

(3)人类发展的历史,是否就是开荒拓土、破坏自然的历史?如果是,那么什么时候应当停止这种破坏?一定是现在吗?或者说现在已经来不及了?

(4)经济发展一定会破坏自然吗?如果人类在发展经济的同时注重对自然环境的保护,减少对环境的污染,提高废弃物的循环利用,建立生态自然区,保护生物的多样性,人与自然是否就能和谐共处?

(5)请写出一两个因为发展经济而破坏自然、造成严重后果的例子。例如:雾霾天气的形成就是因为大力发展工业、排放不达标废弃物造成空气的污染。请写出一两个为了保护自然而影响经济发展的例子。例如:为了保护温带森林生态系统、自然历史遗迹和珍稀动植物,中国的长白山自然保护区成为政府重点保护区域,一定程度上影响了当地经济的发展。

翻译练习:

人类通过将荒野地区开发成旅游区来获取大量利润的例子有很多。然而,虽然这一做法的确大大地增加了他们的短期经济收益,从长远来看,这将被证明会给他们及其经济带来灾难性的后果。

参考答案:

Cases abound in which human beings gained huge profits from developing wilderness areas into tourist sites. However, while such practice did significantly increase their immediate economic benefits, in the long run, it will prove to be disastrous both to them and to their economy.
