第一篇:环境保护与英语
环境保护与英语
如今,英语与很多方面都有联系,如文化、科技、环境、经济、教育等等。就经济来说实行对外开放之后,中国的经济迅速发展,各发面得到了很大的提高,国与国之间的合作也增多了,而这中间无疑就需要和外国人交流,而交流就用得到英语。而对于教育来说,由于经济的快速发展,我们国家就需要更多高端的科技人才,我们的教育要提高,要与经济的发展相适应,所以我们需要学习国外的科学、技术、先进思想,从而就会有愈来愈多的人会想去留学,而这中间就用得到英语。那下面我就环境来具体谈谈它与英语的关联。
1972年6月,我国政府代表团参加了联合国人类环境会议,会议通过了《人类坏境宣言》,环境保护开始摆上国家议事日程。尽管中国参加了此次会议,但是由于当时的中国环境问题不是那么的突出,所以并没有引起太大的反响。人们还像原来一样过着日子。在农村人们还是乱砍滥伐,森林的覆盖率在一天天地减少,环境被不断地破坏着,环境问题被一天天的突出。到20世纪90年代环境问题引起了政府的注意并在1998年成立了环保协会而且在2008年升格为环境保护部。
从20世纪80年代到90年代中间有10几年的时间,在这几年的时间里中国人以牺牲环境来发展经济,经济的发展是建立在破坏环境的基础上。而在90年代人们终于知道了破坏环境的后果。于是开始寻求方法来解决,开始就环境与国外交流观点,意见与方法。开始了解各个国家是如何来看待和解决这个这个问题的。而就在这时英语在其中起到了很大的作用,很多国家的人都说的是英语,即使不是说的是英语,但都懂一些,因为英语是作为一门国际语言的,到任何的国家,只要会说英语都不成问题。而现在中国要与世界各国交流就得使用英语与之交流。
后来经过我国学者对美国的环境保护方面的研究发现,美国在1880年罗斯福是总统的时候就开始保护美国的土地了。并且美国环保协会早在1968年就成立并开始参与了美国的环境保护工作。而且美国民众在1960年就开始关心化学物品对环境造成的危害。面对这样的发现对中国无疑是一个沉重的打击,因为当时的中国对环境根本没有过任何的环境保护的工作,人民群众对于破坏环境也没有任何的行动,根本就没有人关心环境造成的危害。面对这样的情形,中国政府赶紧采取行动。在社会工作中不停地告诉人们破坏环境所带来的危害影响,并且进行了一系列的退耕还林的号召和在全国各地不断的宣传,必要时还采取了用法律途径来解决。在一定程度上缓解了当时的环境破坏严重的情况。
由于中国政府的不断努力,不断改进,不断的与不同国家的交流,探讨和创新应对环境破坏的方法,向不同的国家吸取他们应对环境的策略。中国取得了一定的成就,环境也得到了改善。并且由于不断的宣传外国民众对环境保护所采取的行为和翻译了一些外国的一些关于环境的著作如《寂静的秋天》等等,中国的民众也开始慢慢的意识到环境的重要性和破坏环境所带来的影响。所以他们也开始付诸于行动,他们慢慢地不再乱砍滥伐,尽量少使用塑料袋并且由于政府的这种对环境的强烈的态度很多工厂也慢慢的减少排放污水,废气和改进了他们的设备;在农村里,人们不再使用以前的那种暗暗的黄黄的灯而是使用节能灯,人们也学会了保护森林,鸟和珍稀动物,懂得了在地球上只有与大自然和谐相处才能让我们的生活更加的美好。如果破坏了大自然,自然界的生物链,生态系统,人们将会无法在地球上生存,或许人类会灭亡就像恐龙一样永远消失在地球上。总而言之,人们的环境意识愈来愈强,在日常的生活中人们随口都会谈到环境问题,环境问题成为了一个热点的问题,成为了人们饭后的闲谈话题,这给中国的环境保护带来了很大程度上的帮助。
随着环境问题渐渐成为国际热点话题,国际上也在为保护环境在不断地努力着,各国也为更好的营造生活环境而努力,努力地减少污水,废气,沙尘暴和空气污染而努力。因此人们也在不断的接触一些相关的英语单词,词组,这些单词在我们的生活中随处可见。如Only
one Earth 只有一个地球、One Earth One Family 一个地球,一个家庭、Give Earth a Chance 让地球充满生机、Green Cities-Plan for the Planet!营造绿色城市,呵护地球家园、国家环境保护总局 State Environmental Protection Administration(SEPA)、白色污染 white pollution、垃圾填埋场 refuse landfill、水土流失 water and soil erosion、森林覆盖率 forest coverage、防风林 wind breaks、防沙林 sand breaks、温室效应 greenhouse effect、绿化面积 afforested areas;greening space、绿化面积 afforested areas;greening space、空气污染浓度 air pollution concentration等还有很多。
虽然中国为应对环境破坏做了很多的努力,但我觉得还存在一些问题。如,在中国很多高校有商务英语,经济英语的专业,但好像没有针对环境保护的的相关的英语的专业,现在环境问题成为一个热点,而我们如果想要改变我们的环境的话,我们需要借鉴其他国家的方法,而如果我们没有相关知识作为基础的话,我们根本就读不懂更别说借鉴,所以我觉得应该开设相关的专业,以此来更好的借鉴和学习,除此之外,虽然我们国家翻译了一些相关的著作,但是远远不够,还应该翻译更多的这方面的书籍来供人们阅读。而这也跟英语相关。
英语作为一门语言,如果我们不懂不学,我们就无法和他国进行最基本的语言交流,也不能学习到他国的看法,观点,不能学习到他们为环境保护而采取的种种措施,也不能使中国人看到外国的相关的著作,去学习他们好的方面。所以英语与环境保护有很大的相关性。
第二篇:英语辩论环境保护与经济发展
Which should receive priority in china? Environmental protection or economic growth.:Good morning everyone!We are here now debating about whether environmental protection or
economic growth should take priority in china;we think its economy growth should be chosen.I have three reasons to prove this point.:First, as a developing country, the economy power is far behind the developed countries, so the urgent
affair of china is to develop our economy.:Second, Economy growth doesn’t necessarily conflict with environment protection.We can develop
our economy without environmental pollution.:Third, when our economy strength become strong, we can spend more money and energy on
environment protection, till then it will be a win-win.In a word, considering the current situations, economy growth should take priority in china.:We agree economic growth is needed.But think about the past decades, we followed the old model of
“first pollution, last treatment”, however, how did it come out? The environment problems have become increasingly prominent, and some local regions’ environment has been polluted to a dangerous extent that poses a great threat to our existence.:What’s more, the cost was too high and the effect was not up to much by this means, it placed us in a
completely passive position.At the same time the people started voicing new values: quality of life, urban conservation and the environment.:So, we must get to the bottom of the problem and learn from the past, which is to say, in the course of
development, we should consider the effect of pollution and receive environment protection in first priority.Only in this way can we solve the environmental problems in the future reasonably.:We all know that in many places of china like many poor countries, where the environment is pretty
good, but there are thousands people lack of money for the food or clothes.Even in the city like Dalian, how many people can’t afford of the expensive price of house.Do you think the problems like these can be solved by environmental protection?
:But opponent debaters can’t ignore the fact that most areas of china have solved the problem of food
and clothing at present.Furthermore, the level of economic development in many cities in eastern china is very high.But the pollution is pretty serious accordingly.We have money, but being under the sub health condition.Does it make any sense, opponent debaters?
:Some eastern cities do exist whose economy is quite developed, but you forget that china has 130
million people.The eastern cities can’t stand for the whole china.We know that environment protection need high-technology, high-tech personnel, and science research.They all need a lot of money, and money is created by economy.I want to ask my fellow debater that can we protect our environment well without strong economy strength.:Environmental protection needs money.But we can’t sacrifice the environment for the economic growth.If you drink polluted water, eat the toxic food, can we have a high quality of life? Economic development must be on the premise of environmental protection.:Economic growth is important, environmental protection is also important.And our government has
already realized the importance of the balance between the two parts, and did achieve some
good results.I think in the future there will be on a win-win situation in the economic and
environmental protection.

economic growth and environmental conservation Recently , many areas of china was battered by pretty heavy haze.besides self-mocking,it also makes more and more people realize the importance of keeping the balance between economic growth and environmental conservation.There did be contradictions between the two events.After all,we have to accept that sometimes we do sacrifice environment for the increase of GDP.If it goes on,the environment will break down sooner or later.Then,it will beat back.Global warming is the best proof.The polar bears lost their home,the sand storm continued blowing,the air pollution is increasing sever......In some degree,global warming the development of economic.Compared with developing or undeveloped countries,developed countries are more leisure in the face of environmental problems,After all,they have already went through the period of environmental degradation.Now, the mayor problems faced by the developed countries are high carbon dioxide emissions and abundant fund to deal with the pollution,However, it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment.Developed countries should make the best of their superiority to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and share their technology in environmental conservation with developing countries.Furthermore,they should provide funds to help developing countries adapt,particularly the least developed and most vulnerable countries to climate change.On the contrary,the situation of developing countries,especially undeveloped countries are worse.Many countries are struggling to solve the problem of food and clothing.they don’t have time to take environment problem into account.To make things worse,many pollution-belohing factories in developed countries have been shifted to the area of developing countries.They should pay more attention to industrial transformation and technological development.In addition,they could raise public awareness of environmental conservation.Developing countries should not blindly depend on developed countries.Global environment conservation needs global action now.The alarm bells ought to be ringing in every capital of the world.Global environmental degradation threathens our health,our economy,our natural resources,and our children’s future.It is clear we,everyone in the world must act.Just as mentioned above,we should raise out environmental protection awareness.Moreover,we could reject to use disposable goods,take public vehicles,save water and so on.By doing so,I believe the glob we love deeply will become better.
第四篇:环境保护英语
Let our earth filled with green
Everytime we sit in the bright classroom, everytime we walk on the side of clear lake, everytime we run in the court,I will feel easy and peace.However,a problem lurking around us is slowly breaking out.At that time in the future,perhaps every beauty will walk away from us.All of this are created by human themselves.Keys of the heaven and hell are in our own hands.Be
environmentally friendly and we will keep more green.If our human can make up for it in time,to protect trees and to save water,I believe things can be improved well.Firstly,we students should take an active part in public welfare
activities.Such as the volunteer activity to clean the beach that happened some time ago.I think every student here know this issue.But how many people do do it on earth?I must confess I did not participate.If there is one more chance, I will not miss it.Secondly, don’t litter.The Chinese nation has a civilization history of five thousand years.As a civilized nation,complying with the morality is our traditional virtue.As a citizen,we have duty to spread the virtue,which means we should do something to make the feculent world clear.It is never to late to mend.We must appeal loudly that we only have one earth.We must protect our home.From now,we should spare no effort to take actions,giving a green homeland back to us.

Economic Development and Environmental Protection
Different people hold different views toward the relationship between economic development and environmental protection.From my point of view, now it is time to take the environment into consideration.Nowadays, our economy has gotten a great achievement which was at the cost of our environment.For example, floods, droughts, landslides, and dust-storms have frequented our planet, the only habitat of human beings.If we pay no heed to the present destructive human activities, our planet will become of tomb instead of cozy home.In my opinion, counter measures must be taken as quickly as possible.Firstly, laws must be established to punish those who are involved in illegally destructive conducts.Secondly, our government should help citizens realizing the great importance of protecting our environment.Only in this way can we save our only habitat and meanwhile guarantee our sustainable economic development.
