The World Wildlife Fund, an international conservation group, says more than two-thirds of the world`s wildlife could be gone by the year 2020.
世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)，這個(gè)國(guó)際保護(hù)組織，表示，截止到2020年，世界上將有2/3的野生動(dòng)物會(huì)滅絕。
The organization says there`s already been a 58 percent decrease in the number of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles since 1970. The number of elephants as we`ve reported has dropped drastically, in part because of poaching. And the WWF says overfishing could make a third of the planet`s sharks extinct.
該組織表明，自1970年魚(yú)類(lèi)、哺乳動(dòng)物、鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)和爬行動(dòng)物的數(shù)量下降了58%.我們之前報(bào)道過(guò)，由于捕殺等原因，大象的數(shù)量也急劇下降。世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)表示，過(guò)度捕撈使世界上1/3的鯊魚(yú)滅絕。
Looking at wildlife as a whole, one major reason for all this is habitat loss. A WWF conservation scientist says it`s because people are using so much of the planet and destroying so much of the animals` habitat. His organization suggests more government laws protecting the environment and that people look for more sustainable products and renewable energy.
就整體而言，野生動(dòng)物滅絕的主要的原因就是棲息地喪失。一位世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)環(huán)?？茖W(xué)家表示，人類(lèi)利用了地球上絕大面積，并且在不斷破壞動(dòng)物的棲息地?；饡?huì)建議，應(yīng)該出臺(tái)更多保護(hù)環(huán)境的政府法律，并且人類(lèi)應(yīng)該尋找更多的可持續(xù)產(chǎn)品以及可再生能源。
But not all scientists totally agree with the WWF report. A conservation ecology professor at Duke University says it`s true that wildlife is declining, but he called some of the WWF`s numbers sketchy and said its research is flawed, in part because most of it focuses on Western Europe.
但是并不是所有的科學(xué)家都同意世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)的報(bào)道。杜克大學(xué)的生態(tài)學(xué)教授表示，野生動(dòng)物的確正在減少，同時(shí)他表示基金會(huì)的數(shù)字統(tǒng)計(jì)粗略，同時(shí)研究存在缺陷，造成上述結(jié)果的原因是因?yàn)?，基金?huì)的研究的焦點(diǎn)是西歐。
As history books defined it, the Cold War started after World War II. It involved the U.S. and its allies versus the Soviet Union and its allies.
歷史書(shū)上的定義是，二戰(zhàn)之后，開(kāi)始冷戰(zhàn)。涉及的對(duì)象是美國(guó)及其盟友以及蘇聯(lián)和其盟友。
The rivalry was political, economic, ideologic, but it stopped short of an outright military conflict.
此次競(jìng)爭(zhēng)涉及政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)以及意識(shí)形態(tài)，但是沒(méi)有直接的軍事沖突。
Now, though, there`s a military buildup in Eastern Europe that`s the largest since the Cold War. The United Kingdom is planning to send fighter jets to Romania. The U.S. is set to send troops and tanks to Poland. Russia recently sailed warships close to British waters on their way to Syria.
現(xiàn)在，東歐建立了自二戰(zhàn)以來(lái)，最大的軍事組織。英國(guó)計(jì)劃派遣戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)到羅馬尼亞。美國(guó)也計(jì)劃派遣軍隊(duì)和坦克到達(dá)波蘭。俄羅斯最近將軍艦接近英國(guó)海域。
It all has international officials asking, is this the beginning of a new Cold War?
國(guó)際官員詢(xún)問(wèn)，這難道標(biāo)志著新的冷戰(zhàn)開(kāi)始嗎?
