雅思大作文题目

挽救动植物是否为时已晚?

 

“Human activities have negative effects on plant and animal species. Some people think it is too late to do anything about this problem. Others believe effective measures can be taken to improve this situation. Discuss both views and give your opinion. （2016/02/18）”

解析&审题

本题是2016年2月18日原题重现。

人类活动已经给动植物带来很多消极的影响，因此有人认为，我们现在才去保护动植物已经太晚了，而其他人则认为我们还可以采取有效措施来改进这种局面。

其实，双方都有道理。

一方面，人类已经在很大程度上破坏了自然生态环境，很多动植物都消失了；另一方面，我们的确又可以采取一些方法来补救，而且的确已经见到成效了。

最近，老雅读到一则新闻，熊猫现在已经不是世界一级濒危动物了，这就是大家采取行动的结果。

老师笔记

 

01

Human civilisation has largely destroyed the habitats of many plants and animals so that some species have disappeared entirely from the earth. This situation has caused a strong sense of pessimism among many people that it is already too late for us to do anything about it. Though people have enough reasons to hold this pessimistic view, I am still positive that we can save the situation by taking effective measures.

人类文明已经在很大程度上摧毁了许多动植物的栖息地，让一些物种完全从地球上消失了。这种情形让很多人滋生了很强的悲观情绪，认为现在已经太晚无法挽回了。虽然人们有足够的理由来坚持这个悲观的观点，但我还是相信，只要采取积极措施，我们还可以挽救这种情形。

 

解析

（1）本段先引出话题，重述题目观点，最后提出自己的观点：只要采取积极措施，我们还能挽救植物和动物。

（2）Habitat: （动植物）栖息地

（3）Pessimistic view: 悲观的观点

（4）I am positive that... 我确信......

 

02

In the name of "development" and "civilisation", human beings have long ignored the interest of plants and animals. To build a city, for instance, they will not hesitate to cut all the trees in the area and erect numerous concrete buildings in their place. When the trees are gone, all the animals have to leave or die because they can no longer survive. As the urbanisation goes on ruthlessly throughout the world, plants and animals can find less and less space to live in. This situation is bad enough, and shows no positive sign of change.

以“发展”和“文明”的名义，人类一直以来都忽视了动植物的利益。比如说，为了建一座城市，人类会毫不犹豫地砍掉这个地区里所有的树，然后建起数不清的水泥大楼。当这些树不在后，所有动物都不得不离开或者死亡，因为它们无法再活下来。随着城市化进程在全球疯狂地推进，动植物越来越无法找到生存的空间。这种情况的确很糟糕，而且没有半点积极改变的迹象。

 

解析

（1）本段写人类对动植物的破坏，着重强调破坏力之大。

（2）In the name of...：以......的名义

（3）Urbanisation: 城市化

（4）Ruthlessly: 残酷地；无情地

（5）Show no positive sign of change: 没有表现出丝毫积极变化的迹象

03

Yet, this does not mean we are helpless. Though we can not stop the city from spreading altogether, we can create a favorable environment for plants and animals to thrive on. For example, in the center of the city, we can give large spaces for trees and other plants and leave animals living there the way they like. In fact, I have already seen that many cities are running this kind of special "animal parks" which imitate the natural habitats of plants and animals and do not allow people to intrude in. More important is, of course, that people should be educated to understand that human beings themselves would suffer if the entire ecological system were destroyed. Our own existence is so dependent on the plants and animals around us that if they die, we will die, too. With this understanding deep in mind, human beings will try their best to maintain a harmonious relationship with the natural world.

然而，这并不意味着我们束手就擒了。虽然我们无法完全阻止城市扩张，但我们可以为动植物建立一个合适的居住环境。比如，在城市中心，我们可以给树和其他植物留出大片空间，让动物自由自在地生活在那里。实际上，我已经看到很多城市现在都有这种特殊的“动物公园”，公园模仿动植物的自然栖息地，而且不让人类进入。当然，更重要的是应该教育人们明白，如果整个生态系统被破坏，人类自身也会受害。我们的存在非常依赖于周围的动植物，一旦它们死亡，我们也会死亡。如果这种理念深入人心，那么人类就会尽力保持他们与自然世界的和谐关系。

 

解析

（1）本段论述我们能够做什么。首先是在城市中建立适合动植物生存的环境；其次是提高人们的动植物保护意识。

（2）Create a favorable environment: 建议一个良好的环境

（3）Intrude: 闯入

（4）Ecological system: 生态系统

（5）Be dependent on...: 依赖于......

 

03

Over the past 5000 years of human development, we do have brought negative effects on plants and animals and the situation seems to be worsening. So, for the benefits of the nature and ourselves, we should act immediately. Though keeping balance between the natural protection and human development is never easy, we can always find a way out. It is never too late to take measures to change the situation, and the earlier, the better.

在过去5000年人类发展中，我们的确已经给动植物带来了负面影响，而且这种情形还在恶化。因此，为了大自然和我们自己的利益，我们应该行动起来。虽然在自然保护和人类发展中取得平衡殊为不易，但我们总能找到出路。采取行动改变现状永远都不晚，而且越早越好。

 

解析

（1）本段是结尾段，表明自己的态度。

（2）worsen: 恶化

（3）Find a way out: 找到出路
