Translation

Exercise 1

What makes us so drawn to the ocean? Why are we willing to spend a lot of money, drive for hours, and plan our days carefully just to find time to get close to the ocean? The health benefits are great and breathing in the ocean air is bliss. But there must be something more to our passion for water activity which prompt us to invest more time and energy. A recent article I read helped to explain these feelings that are often hard to put into words. Simply put, our brains really enjoy the water. Wallace J. Nichols is a marine biologist who wants to learn what happens to us when we are on, in, or near the ocean. Specifically he wants to understand what on earth triggers our emotional reactions to the ocean. In brief, Nichols’ goal is not to impart to us the knowledge about ocean, but to find out exactly why we love the ocean so that we can use that as a tool to protect it through public policy.

Unit 2

Structure Analysis

Part 1: A general introduction of LA’s house price and its tangible threats. (Paras

1-3)

The prelude: the author bought a house in LA in 2008.

House price situation: home prices in Los Angeles are more than double those in other major cities.

Reason analysis: the quality of life rather than the inherent productivity of working here that

drives up the home prices.

The tangible threats: hotter summers, smoggier air, more fires, and less water

Part 2: Will Los Angeles lose its cool? (Paras 4-8)

LA’s current climate advantages: cool summers and warm winters (Para 4)

Its future climate change and the influence (Paras 5-8)

Researchers’ prediction: LA will become 13 degrees F warmer on average in July by 2070

Comparison: cities in Florida will experience improvement in climate bundle.

Conclusion: LA will lose much of its climate uniqueness and its climate amenity premium will

vanish.

Part 3: How should LA adapt to climate change? (Paras 9-10)

Fact: the poor and immigrants are easily exposed to heat waves and extreme temperatures.

Example: the Chicago heat wave in 1995

Reason: those people don’t have air conditioners and fear opening windows due to crime.

Measure: public service announcements for information esp. from some community-based

NGOS.

A case in point: the Esperanza’s Community Health Programs

Climate change is predicted to _______________ much of California’s climate uniqueness and the housing price boost that comes with that climate.

Translation

Exercise 1

Los Angeles, located in California, is a great place to live. Pleasing climate and high-quality life make the home prices here more than double those in other major cities. However, climate change poses tangible threats and amenity havoc. Climate researchers predict that the temperature of LA will be 13 degrees F warmer on average in the future. Climate change will strip away much of the city’s climate uniqueness. Therefore, home price declines and cli mate amenity premium vanishes (bad news for the real estate owners). How can LA adapt to the climate change? On the one hand, LA should learn to adapt to the change by improving public service to reduce the harm to its residents. Community-based NGOs have stepped up to fill this void. On the other hand, it’s pressing to protect the environment to maintain the city’s climate amenity. Of course, the future of Los Angeles is closely interconnected with the global climate change.

Unit 3

Structure Analysis

Directions:Fill in the blanks with the information from the text.

Part I Introduction: whales seem to stir up strong feelings (para 1)

Anti-whalers: believe that whales have been in urgent need of protection since the middle of last century

Pro-whalers: present themselves as protectors of traditional culture, diets and the rights of

indigenous people

Part II The nasty situation of whaling (para 2-4)

In theory: a global moratorium, proclaimed by the International Whaling Commission (IWC), has been in force since 1986.

In practice: whales are still killed in large numbers. Roughly half are killed by whalers from Japan, mostly off Antarctica.

Diplomatic standoffs: The IWC has become a battleground between the two pro-and anti-whaling camps and the body's 88 members joined in the past decade—helping to make it deadlocked and dysfunctional.

Physical stand-offs: In January there was a collision between a Japanese ship and a trimaran from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

In February Australia threatened to take Japan to the International Court of Justice unless it stopped whaling off Antarctica.

Part III The measure which can be taken to fight against the nastiness - A “peace plan” was proposed and pro-whalers’ objections to the “peace plan” (para 5-9)

The content of the “peace plan”: the moratorium would be lifted for a decade, but whalers would agree to a sharp reduction in their catch, stricter enforcement measures and a ban on all cross-border commerce in whale products.

The aim of the “peace plan”: to buy time for countries to come up with a longer-term agreement, while reducing the number of whales that are killed.

Pro-whalers’ objections to the “peace plan” (para 7-9)

New Zealand’s foreign minister calls the proposed quota for Antarctic waters unrealistic and unacceptable.

Japan’s fisheries minister deems the limit “too drastic” and wants it raised.

Japanese officials counter that the 1946 convention never anticipated a moratorium on all commercial whaling.(para 9)

Part IV The provisions under the IWC proposal and the attitudes of the pro-whalers and anti-whalers towards the IWC proposal. (para 10-11)

Provisions:

1. Japan would halve the number of whales it kills off Antarctica, and face further cuts over the five years thereafter.

2.A South Atlantic sanctuary, barred to all whaling, would be rigorously enforced.

3. Countries that do not already hunt would not be allowed to start.

4. IWC monitors would be placed aboard every vessel to document the kill and take DNA samples.

5. Japan would be allowed to hunt 120 minke whales in its coastal waters as a sop to local sentiment in four ports.

Attitudes:

Green activists and anti-whaling countries are calling the deal a victory for whaling nations.

Pro-whalers certainly do not see things that way.

Masayuki Komatsu believes the proposal may mark the beginning of the end for Japanese whaling.

3. amounted to

4. No wonder

5. hammer out

Translation

Exercise 1

As with foxhunting in Britain, all sides seem never to reach an agreement on whaling. Since 1986 the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has imposed a moratorium on commercial whaling. Yet every Antarctic summer, Japan sends a whaling fleet south to catch hundreds of whales for “research”. But whales are still killed in large numbers; in recent years the annual slaughter has reached almost 2,000. To avoid the extinction of whales, IWC proposed a “peace plan”. According to the proposal, the moratorium would be lifted for a decade, but whalers have to agree to a sharp reduction in their catch. The conservationists would definitely complain or criticize the resumption of commercial whaling. Even so, any compromising deal would be far better than continued stand-off.

Unit 4

Structure Analysis

Part 1: A shift toward “Blue job” fisheries is urgently needed. (Paras. 1-3) Fish numbers are no match for need of human beings for two reasons:

1. growing human appetite: About three billion people count on fish and other marine

species as their primary source of protein.(Para. 2)

2. the ultra-efficient fisheries: the mid 20th century industrial fishing operations have

used ever-improving technology to fish farther, faster, and longer.(para.3)

Part 2: Sustainability is the key concept for successful management of both fish stocks and fisheries jobs themselves. ( Paras. 4-8)

How blue job fishery will do to keep sustainability:

1. use science-based stock management programs and only harvest sustainable levels of

fish.. (Paras. 5-6)

2. Blue fishermen also use environmentally friendly methods and gear. (Paras.7-8) Part 3: Fishing problems and aquaculture. (Paras. 9-16)

Why we have fishing problem:

Politics come into it, economics come into it. And most of the time we overdo

it .Global factors are also growing the problem.(Paras.10-12)

Aquaculture, also known as fish farming, can help to fill the gap. (Paras 13-14)

Aquaculture cannot take the place of our oceans, it is only complimentary to wild

fisheries.(Paras.15-16))

Part 4: What people should do. (Paras. 17-19)

choosing sustainably caught fish, even choosing to eat fish less often.. (Paras. 17-18) Vocabulary

Playgrounds for children are _________ all over the place.

We have visited this island _________year in year out and we never get bored.

I was ____________ him at tennis.

She _______his wounds and ran away.

Heavy traffic had _________ the surface of the track.

Translation

Exercise 1

In recent years, due to environmental pollution, overfishing and other factors, the fisheries resources are in the course of recession. It should be said that the state not only set the period of time each year fishing moratorium but also restrict fishing nets specifications in order to protect marine fisheries resources to achieve sustainable development. However, the fishermen take some more extreme ways to fish in order to increase revenue so that the chain between the reproduction and development of fishery resources have been artificially cut off, which greatly damaged the marine ecological environment and a direct consequence of the destructive effects can not yet be predicted precisely. Wild fish has been unable to meet the growing needs of mankind. Aquaculture will be increasingly important in the future, but it can not save us. Blue fish farmers are needed. As consumers, we can choose to limit the number of fish in order to ensure that our future generations will also have fish to eat.

Unit 5

Structure Analysis

Part 1: There is great concern about the use of chemicals in the waters. (Paras 1-5)

The Bay of Fundy is featured by booming salmon farms which have enlarged wild marine diversity and biomass. (Para 1)

The lobster kill last year traced to an illegal chemical used in salmon farming.

(Para 2)

Two questions for discussion (Para 3):

1. What ecological toll does salmon farming exact on the greater marine

environment?

2. How can salmon aquaculture proceed sustainably?

Remarks by Fred Whoriskey and Matt Abbott (Paras 4-5):

Fred: Chemicals used to kill sea lice also affect other marine lives.

Matt: If the status quo remains it’s going t o harm and kill marine ecosystems. Part 2: Recent deltamethrin sea lice pesticide trials in the Bay of Fundy were halted. (Paras 6-9)

Supporting details:

1. Preliminary pesticide experiments resulted in dead lobsters. (Paras 6-7)

2. Lobster larvae concentrate near the water surface where the pesticides are,

and are far more sensitive to lower concentrations of the pesticide. (Para 8) Part 3: Salmon farms have deleterious effect on lobster fisheries. (Paras 10-13) Examples:

1. Dumping chemicals in the water is suicide to the lobster fishery. (Para 12)

2. As soon as you put in a fish farm that bottom is no longer suitable for

settlement of lobster larvae. (Para 13)

Part 4: Explaining the relation between wild and farmed salmon, meanwhile offering examples to show different fisheries can live harmoniously within a larger community network (Paras 14-20)

About 60% of salmon consumed globally are farmed. (Para 14)

According to Abbott, aquaculture isn’t just like any other farming. It’s farming carnivores in the water. It’s a totally different equation. (Para 15)

While salmon farming is booming, many populations of wild salmon are dwindling rapidly. (Paras 16-18)

Examples:

1. Wild salmon stocks have plummeted in North America and in the Bay

of Fundy.

2. A 50% reduction in the survival of wild salmon is associated with

salmon farming.

However, in New Brunswick different fisheries don’t function as zero sum competitors, and salmon farmers are part of the working waterfront. (Paras 19-20)

Translation

Exercise 1

At present, eutrophication is becoming a serious problem in most of the mariculture areas in China. It can induce red tide and aquaculture animal disease, and result in heavy losses to intensive aquaculture industry. Some large seaweeds such as kelp, Gracilaria lemaneiformis and Porphyra yezoensis are of very high productivity and may absorb large quantities of C, N, P and other biogenic elements as they grow. Seaweeds play a very important role in the carbon cycle of aquatic ecosystems and in decreasing eutrophication. In addition, seaweed products could be widely used as food, fodder, industrial raw materials and organic fertilizers, thus considering as commodities of high value. Large-scale cultivation of seaweeds could be a good solution to the problem of eutrophication due to their capability of removing nutrients.

Unit 6

Structure Analysis

Directions:Fill in the blanks with the information from the text.

Part I Introduction: the lab experiment and studies are mentioned to introduce the impact of the ocean acidification (para 1-5)

Sam Dupont’s urchin test:

The chance finding refers to the fact that Sam Dupont found accidentally that some species can cope with extremely low PH values in the short term.

The chance finding emphasizes how much scientists have yet to learn about the growing threat of ocean acidification.

The impact of ocean acidification

1. Some regions have already become corrosive enough to inhibit the growth of corals and other species for part of the year.

2. Most creatures with calcium carbonate shells could run into problems within a few decades.

3. Ocean acidification could impede the growth of important groups of plankton, thus endangering entire marine ecosystems.

4. Creatures without hard shells might be threatened with unexpected problems.

Part II the process of ocean acidification and the impact of PH changes (para 6-12)

The process of ocean acidification

CO2 enters the ocean CO2 reacts with water to produce carbonic acid

Release positively charged hydrogen ions

Extra ions cause problems by binding with dissolved carbonate ions to form bicarbonate.

Examples of the impact of PH changes (P9-10)

1. A dramatic rise in oyster industry in hatcheries off Oregon and Washington.

2. It may cause some of the recent shellfish problems.

Environmental changes confronting marine life (para 12)

Ocean acidification, ocean warming, pollution, fishing pressure, sea-ice loss and shifting patterns of currents and mixing of deep and shallow water.

Part III the analysis of the variables influencing animals’ reactio n to ocean acidification based on more experiments and studies (Para 13-18)

More experiments and studies

1. Dupont’s four month experiment with a range of marine organisms.

It suggests: Some species can not cope with extremely low PH values for longer exposures and higher temperatures.

2. A separate study of two populations of spider crabs.

It suggests: How animals respond to acidification depends on their climate zone.

3. One lab study of blue mussels

It suggests: even individuals from the same species and climate zone can react quite differently. 4. A study off the Indian island of Ischia

It suggests: where nutrition is less abundant, populations seem to decline when faced with increased acidity.

Part IV. To conclude the passage with the introduction of EPOCA project.

One of the priorities of EPOCA project: to determine whether there are any tipping points, beyond which any increase in acidity would hurl marine ecosystems towards catastrophic changes. Vocabulary

Translation

Exercise 1

Ocean acidification refers to the decrease in the pH value of the oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Scientists say the more carbon dioxide we emit, the more oceans absorb and the more acidic the water becomes, and this may cause a range of potentially devastating consequences for marine organisms. For instance, the increasing acidity may reduce the immune responses of blue mussels, slow the growth of corals and cause it hard for some planktons to survive, moreover, it may pose a threat to the food chains connected with the oceans. Given current concerns about the ocean acidification through global carbon dioxide emissions, it is more important than ever that we understand how the acidity balance of the sea is normally maintained. And it is more urgent that we raise our awareness of curbing the emission of carbon dioxide, which is the effective way to solve or mitigate ocean acidification for the time being.

Unit 7

Exercise 1

El Ni?o is an unusual weather phenomenon caused by a wide range of rising water temperatures in the Pacific waters near the equator. El Nino and other extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and its intensity is increasing. Scientists believe that the occurrence of El Ni?o is related to deteriorating natural environment by human beings and a direct result of increased global warming. In 1998 El Nino caused by the global rise in sea temperatures produce a large area of coral bleaching events. All of the coral reefs are affected. Coral reefs on the planet are becoming a first class ecosystem which has been completely destroyed by human beings. Coral reefs are the permanent or temporary home of perhaps a quarter of all marine species.

Although El Nino events are not caused by human activities, but the harsh reality suggests human potential impact of marine organisms.

The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it hard for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers. 8. English had come royally into its own. English received proper recognition and was used by the King once more. 9. The phrase has always been used a little pejoratively and even facetiously by the lower classes.

The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there. As the early Saxon peasants , the working people still have a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class. 11. There is always a great danger that “ words will harden into things for us. “ There is always a great danger , as Carlyle put it , that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.

She meant that human lives are more important than material possessions. 8. How did the community of Gulfport act after Hurricane Camille was over?

The place has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever bothered it. The house was built in 1915 and since then no hurricane has done any damage to it. 3. We can batten down and ride it out. We can prepare ourselves for the hurricane and manage to survive it without much damage. 4. The generator was doused, and the lights went out. Water got into the generator, and it didn't work. As a result, the lights were put out. 5. Everybody out the back door to the cars! Everybody go out though the back door and get into the cars. 6. The electrical system had been killed by water.
