阅读关于鲨鱼的文章,完成下面的实况表。
Save the Sharks!
拯救鲨鱼!
Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
很多人听说过鱼翅汤,这道著名而昂贵的菜肴在中国南方特别受欢迎。但是你意识到每次你享受一碗鱼翅汤时,你正在杀死一整条鲨鱼吗?
When people catch sharks,they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosytem.If their numbers drop too low,it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their
food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
当人们捕捉鲨鱼时,他们割掉鱼鳍,然后将鲨鱼扔回到海洋。这不但残忍,而且对环境有害。没有了鱼鳍,鲨鱼不能再游泳,并慢慢死去。在海洋生态系统中,鲨鱼处于食物链的顶端。如果鲨鱼数量下降太低,它将给所有的海洋生物带来危险。很多人认为鲨鱼不可能濒危,因为它们是食物链中最强大的。但实际上,每年大约七千万的鲨鱼被捕捉并在这个行业交易。在过去的20至30年里,有些种类的鲨鱼的数量下降了百分之九十多。
Environmental protection groups around the world,such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about "finning". They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far,no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help saye the sharks!
世界环境保护组织,如野生救援会和世界自然基金会教育公众有关“割鳍(获取鱼鳍而猎杀鲨鱼)”的行为。他们甚至要求政府完善法律来阻止鲨鱼鳍的销售。到目前为止,没有科学研究表明鲨鱼鳍对健康有益,所以为什么吃它们呢?帮助拯救鲨鱼吧!
