The two graphs tell us something about population growth and wildlife extinction in the U.S. 

這兩張圖告訴我們一些關(guān)于美國人口增長和野生動(dòng)物滅絕的信息。

From 1800, the American population has been growing all the time. 

從 1800 年開始，美國人口一直在增長。

In the 100 years from 1600 to 1700, the number of wildlife species remained almost stable, with the next 200 years witnessing a growing trend in wildlife extinction. 

從 1600 年到 1700 年的 100 年間，野生動(dòng)物物種的數(shù)量幾乎保持穩(wěn)定，接下來的 200 年野生動(dòng)物滅絕的趨勢(shì)越來越大。

It can be easily seen that the more the human beings, the fewer the animal species.

不難看出，人類越多，動(dòng)物種類就越少。

There may be several reasons for this effect. 

這種影響可能有幾個(gè)原因。

First, as human population expands, more and more wild animals are hunted for food. 

首先，隨著人類人口的增長，越來越多的野生動(dòng)物被獵食。

Second, due to all kinds of pollution and the damage of ecosystem caused by man, some animals have nowhere to live. 

其次，由于人類造成的各種污染和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的破壞，一些動(dòng)物無處生存。

Third, some animals are of greatmedical value, so they become the targets for making money.

第三，一些動(dòng)物具有很高的醫(yī)療價(jià)值，所以它們成為賺錢的目標(biāo)。

 It is time we took some measures to stop this disturbing trend. 

現(xiàn)在是我們采取一些措施來阻止這種令人不安的趨勢(shì)的時(shí)候了。

On one hand, the government should pass some laws and regulations to prevent people from killing more wild animals and forbid further damage to our environment. 

一方面，政府應(yīng)該通過一些法律法規(guī)來防止人們捕殺更多的野生動(dòng)物，并禁止對(duì)我們的環(huán)境造成進(jìn)一步的破壞。

On the other hand, we should cultivate the awareness that animals are our friends and their extinction poses a threat rather than brings benefits to us. 

另一方面，我們應(yīng)該培養(yǎng)這樣一種認(rèn)識(shí)，即動(dòng)物是我們的朋友，它們的滅絕對(duì)我們構(gòu)成威脅而不是給我們帶來好處。

Only when human beings live in harmony with all kinds of animals can we really build a beautiful and healthy world.

只有人類與各種動(dòng)物和睦相處，才能真正建設(shè)一個(gè)美麗健康的世界。

Human Population &Wildlife  Protection

The two graphs tell us something about population growth and wildlife extinction in the U.S. From 1800, the American population has been growing all the time. In the 100 years from 1600 to 1700, the number of wildlife species remained almost stable, with the next 200 years witnessing a growing trend in wildlife extinction. It can be easily seen that the more the human beings, the fewer the animal  species.

There may be several reasons for this effect. First, as human population expands, more and more wild animals are hunted for food. Second, due to all kinds of pollution and the damage of ecosystem caused by man, some animals have nowhere to live. Third, some animals are of great medical value, so they become the targets  for making money.

It is time we took some measures to stop this disturbing trend. On one hand, the government should pass some laws and regulations to prevent people from killing more wild animals and forbid further damage to our environment. On the other hand, we should cultivate the awareness that animals are our friends and their extinction poses a threat rather than brings benefits to us. Only when human beings live in harmony with all kinds of animals can we really build a beautiful and healthy world.
