五問(wèn)：

（1）這個(gè)建議會(huì)產(chǎn)生什么好的結(jié)果和壞的結(jié)果？通過(guò)制定法律條文來(lái)保護(hù)現(xiàn)存的原生態(tài)地區(qū)，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，使更多的價(jià)值難以得到開(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)政策，但是一些希望從中獲取經(jīng)濟(jì)利益的商人可能會(huì)反對(duì)。

（3）人類(lèi)發(fā)展的歷史，是否就是開(kāi)荒拓土、破壞自然的歷史？如果是，那么什么時(shí)候應(yīng)當(dāng)停止這種破壞？一定是現(xiàn)在嗎？或者說(shuō)現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)來(lái)不及了？

（4）經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展一定會(huì)破壞自然嗎？如果人類(lèi)在發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)的同時(shí)注重對(duì)自然環(huán)境的保護(hù)，減少對(duì)環(huán)境的污染，提高廢棄物的循環(huán)利用，建立生態(tài)自然區(qū)，保護(hù)生物的多樣性，人與自然是否就能和諧共處？

（5）請(qǐng)寫(xiě)出一兩個(gè)因?yàn)榘l(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)而破壞自然、造成嚴(yán)重后果的例子。例如：霧霾天氣的形成就是因?yàn)榇罅Πl(fā)展工業(yè)、排放不達(dá)標(biāo)廢棄物造成空氣的污染。請(qǐng)寫(xiě)出一兩個(gè)為了保護(hù)自然而影響經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的例子。例如：為了保護(hù)溫帶森林生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、自然歷史遺跡和珍稀動(dòng)植物，中國(guó)的長(zhǎng)白山自然保護(hù)區(qū)成為政府重點(diǎn)保護(hù)區(qū)域，一定程度上影響了當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。

翻譯練習(xí)：

人類(lèi)通過(guò)將荒野地區(qū)開(kāi)發(fā)成旅游區(qū)來(lái)獲取大量利潤(rùn)的例子有很多。然而，雖然這一做法的確大大地增加了他們的短期經(jīng)濟(jì)收益，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，這將被證明會(huì)給他們及其經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來(lái)災(zāi)難性的后果。

參考答案：

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.
