保護環(huán)境是每個人的責(zé)任,首先是政府要讓人們認識到環(huán)境的重要性。在很大程度上,這種責(zé)任應(yīng)由政府和當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣窆餐謸?dān)。
It is quite obvious that all people should do their part in taking care of the local environment, but there are always some people more committed to their environmental obligations than others. One important reason is that those who do less harbor a misconception that individuals can do little or nothing to make a noticeable difference. In fact, all individuals have created the environmental problems by neglecting the environment, and that must mean that together they can fix most problems, whether they are making large or small contributions. Another reason is that, in the name of economic development, people pollute the local rivers and lakes by putting into them dirty water or industrial wastes.
很明顯,所有的人都應(yīng)盡自己的責(zé)任照顧當(dāng)?shù)氐沫h(huán)境,但總有一些人比其他人更誠心來履行其環(huán)境義務(wù)。一個重要的原因是,那些做得較少的人有一種誤解,認為個人做不了什么,改變不了什么。事實上,所有的個體都通過忽略環(huán)境而制造了環(huán)境問題,這就意味著如果一起努力,他們能夠解決大多數(shù)問題,無論是做大還是小貢獻。另一個原因是,以經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的名義,人們將臟水或工業(yè)廢物放進當(dāng)?shù)睾恿骱秃?,從而污染它們?/p>
Then, apart from enforcing regulations and using penalties or fines as a means to hold individuals accountable for their damage to the environment, the government should do more to alert people to the way the environment is going, then people would be more likely to do their bit. If people are not reminded of the risks that affect their own local environment, they will often forget. Unless there is a particular crisis going on, it is always the case that the public will become immune to shocking statistics or terrible photos, for they have seen too many of them and tend to neglect them. It is, therefore, the job of the government to keep informing the public (through television or other media) of the current environmental issues.
因此,除了執(zhí)行法規(guī),并以處罰或罰款作為手段來追究個人對環(huán)境造成的損害,政府還應(yīng)采取更多措施,提醒人們注意環(huán)境的現(xiàn)狀,這樣,人們將更有可能盡好他們自己的職責(zé)。如果不提醒人們注意影響當(dāng)?shù)丨h(huán)境的風(fēng)險,他們往往會忘記。除非有某個危機發(fā)生,公眾往往對那些令人震驚的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)或可怕的照片無動于衷,因為他們已經(jīng)看過太多這樣的東西,往往會忽視它們。所以,政府的工作就是不斷(通過電視或其他媒體)向公眾宣傳當(dāng)前的環(huán)境問題。
To a great extent, the responsibility for looking after the local environment must be shared by the government and individuals. The government should let the public know that environmental protection is everybody’s business. Otherwise, what seems to be everybody’s business would become nobody’s business.(330 words)
在很大程度上,保護當(dāng)?shù)丨h(huán)境的責(zé)任必須由政府和個人共同承擔(dān)。政府應(yīng)該讓公眾知道環(huán)境保護是每個人的事。否則,似乎是每個人都該管的事就會變成人人都不管的事。
