动物 Animals

一、是否该有动物园

1 Keeping animals in zoos is an unnecessary restriction to their physical freedom.

把动物圈养在动物园里是一种对它们身体自由的不必要的限制。

2 Another point is that, most of the time, animals are punished to induce them to perform unnatural acts.

另外一点是,大部分时候,为了诱导动物表演不自然的动作,动物会遭受惩罚。

3 Finally, some animals find it hard to breed in captivity.

最后,一些动物在囚禁状态下很难繁殖后代。

4 The breeding of pandas in captivity has been a topic of interest among animal scientists and researchers for quite some time.

关于熊猫在囚禁下的繁殖状态已经成为动物学家和研究人员长时间感兴趣的话题了。

5 Currently, this animal belongs to the endangered species list.

目前,这种动物已经属于濒危物种之列。

6 I firmly believe that animals should be left free to roam and run in the wild, instead of being kept in captivity for any purpose.

我坚信,动物们应该自由地在野外漫步和奔跑,而不应该因为任何原因而被囚禁起来。

7 For that reason, people should uphold the rights of animals to live freely in this world.

因为这个原因,人们应该支持动物在世界上自由生存的权利。

8 In addition, people must support laws that prohibit poaching and the illegal fishing or killing of animals for profit.

另外,对于限制偷猎和非法捕鱼以及为盈利目的残杀动物的法律,人们应该支持。

9 All living things have the right to live.

所有的生物都有生存的权利。

10 Life, in any form, should be respected.

生命,不管以何种形式存在,都应该受到尊重。

二、动物实验

1 Animals are sometimes used in order to assess the effect of medicines and cosmetics on humans,but to what extent are they necessary?

动物通常被用于测试人类药物和化妆品的效果,但是在多大程度上,它们是必要的呢?

2 The most common argument against such experiments is that they are cruel.

反对这种实验最常用的论据是它们太残酷了。

3 Cruelty suggests that the animals used in the experiments undergo some kind of pain, discomfort or deformity.

残酷意味着这些实验中用到的动物需要承受种种痛苦、不适,或者变成残疾。

4 This is understandably upsetting to many, who imagine the rabbit, mouse or frog that they cared for as a child having to endure such things.

对于那些把饲养的小动物如兔子、老鼠或青蛙视为小孩子一样照料的人们来说,听到这些动物要遭受这样的痛苦,感到悲痛是可以理解的。

5 The fewer cosmetic products people use, the fewer animals they have to slaughter.

人们用的化妆品越少,屠杀的动物也会越少。

6 I do not think of a single item of toiletry which would justify pain or death to an animal.

我想不出任何一种化妆用品能证明动物(在实验中)经受的痛苦甚至死亡是合理的。

7 There should be a body to monitor such experiments, paid for by the companies and organizations conducting them.

需要有一个主体监控这类实验,费用由进行此类实验的公司和机构支付。

8 It is an undeniable fact that animals play a vital role in maintaining the subtle balance of the earth's ecological system.

动物在维持地球生态平衡方面扮演着重要的角色,这是一个不可否认的事实。

9 The gaining of first-hand knowledge and information about certain species provides adequate justification for continuing the killing of animals in laboratories.

获得关于某一物种的第一手知识与信息,成为继续在实验室杀害动物的合理辩护理由。

10 The protection of human beings from certain epidemics at the cost of lives of some animals justifies the work of researchers.

以一些动物的生命为代价是为了保护人类免受传染病之害,这也成为维护研究人员此类工作的辩词。

11 They cite the accumulated knowledge about those animals as contributing to their survival.

他们举证说明逐渐积累起来的关于这些动物的知识也会为它们的生存做出贡献。

12 For the people who wish to see the legal prohibition of such experiments, animal rights, especially the right to exist on the same planet with human beings, is always at the top of their list.

对于那些希望法律禁止此类动物实验的人来说,动物权益,尤其是动物与人类生活在同一星球上的权利,是他们的首要观点。

13 They worry about species that are already on the verge of extinction.

他们担心那些濒临灭绝的物种。

三、动物角色的变化

1 The roles of animals in present society have become more diverse.

在现代社会中,动物的角色变得越来越多样化。

2 Some animals are currently being used in detective work, while others are used to comfort those in distress.

一些动物被用于侦探工作中,而另一些则被用于帮助人们缓解压力。

3 In my opinion, animals make unique contributions to humanity.

在我看来,动物为人类做出了独一无二的贡献。

4 Studies have proved that animal petting or companionship helps lower the distress or anxiety levels in humans.

研究已经证明,宠爱动物或者有动物的陪伴能够帮助人们减少压力和焦虑。

5 Another point is that, animals assist those who are disabled.

另外一点是,动物能够帮助残疾人。

6 Guide dogs serve as the“eyes”of blind people.

导盲犬堪称盲人的眼睛。

7 Lastly, there is a growing need for trained animals in police and detective work.

最后,警务工作和侦探工作中需要大量受训的动物。

8 The uses of animals in society are diverse and advantageous.

动物在社会中的使用广泛且有益。

9 People should continue to explore and appreciate the contributions of animals in society.

人们应该继续探寻和珍惜动物在社会中做出的贡献。 wEJYdChjoRku31lNo2tYvjHFUfzdRifjJQ3TK26+ic4HeBw+74L3eD8v/ChRCIzO
