Nature Is Our Mother

Nature Is Our Mother

by tan ying(谭英 湖南大学)

专家点评:文章开头较有新意，全文贯穿环保意识，主题鲜明、有强烈的时代感。

let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.

"mum, i'm sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition thIs year."

"mum, it Is my friend's birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present."

"mum, thIs jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? "

take. take. take. the relationship between a Mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. i know my Mother Is always there for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, "will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? "

like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout hIstory, have been continually demanding what we desire from Nature. we enjoy the comfort and beauty of Our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. we take it for granted that we must warm Ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resOurces. we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired Our Mother earth. as we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue Our carelessness.

finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of Our posterity. Nature Is not only the Mother of the present generation, but also the Mother of the generations to come. how severely Our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless Mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for Nature from now on. let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and Nature right from thIs moment. with thIs new start, i firmly believe, that Our children, and Our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promIsing world!

译文:自然是我们的母亲

请允许我用一个我们今天在座的大部分人，就算不是全部，都很熟悉的场景来展开我的演讲。

“妈妈，不好意思，今年的学费要三千元。”

“妈妈，明天是我朋友的生日，我要给她买份礼物。”

“妈妈，这件衣服早过时了，帮我买件新的，好吗?”

索取，索取，再索取。母亲和孩子的关系似乎永远都是这一种形式。我知道母亲总是我的靠山，给我一切需要的东西，从食物到衣服，从学费到零用钱。我觉得她所做的一切都是理所当然的，直到有一天，她说:“会不会有这么一天你对我说我已经索取够了?’’

就像孩子无止境的要求一样，我们人类，从古到今，也一直在向自然索求以满足欲望。我们享受家具的美丽与舒适，但我们从来就不愿去想一想由于采伐树林而引起的严重的土壤侵蚀问题。我们认为冬天要取暖是理所当然的事情，却未曾意识到宝贵的自然资源就这样被烧掉。我们高兴地看到现代工业发展带来了繁荣，但很少人会对由于工业废物导致的全球空气和水质污染问题稍加考虑。我们无情的剥削已经永远地伤害了地球母亲。我们从去年夏天的洪灾悲剧中已经认识到，我们不能再继续漠不关心下去了。

最后，站在21世纪的门槛上，我们不禁展望着繁荣昌盛。自然不仅是现在这一代人的母亲，更是未来一代人的母亲。如果我们留给他们的是一位贫瘩、毫无生气的母亲，那么我们会受到子孙们何等严厉的批评?如果我们留给他们的遗产是一个和谐的世界，他们会对我们作出何等的称赞?让我们从现在开始尊重、关爱自然。让我们立刻开展一场建立人类与自然互惠互利关系的运动。我坚信，有了这个新的开始，我们的孩子、孩子的孩子必将生活在一个绿树青葱、空气清新、水碧天蓝的崭新世纪，一个前景更加灿烂的世界!

第三篇：people often say that the earth Is like Our Mother

the earth ------Our Mother things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential(一切) things we need for living.

once she was beautiful and rich, but now she Is becoming dirtier and dirtier,

poorer and poorer. it Is due（应给） to what we have done to her. please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction （毁灭）of the forests and wild life, and the depletion（耗尽） of the ozone layer…

can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? can she bear too see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? can we bear to see Our Mother suffering so much? Isn' it time for us to ask Ourselves whether thIs Is the way to treat Our Mother?

floods（洪水）, draughts, acid rain（酸雨）…,these are the punIshments（惩罚） from Nature. everyone should know that there Is only one earth, lf we go on treating her like thIs, it won' t be fit for us to live in any longer. it' s time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. we should save the earth so as to save Ourselves.

译文：地球——我们的母亲

人们经常说地球就像我们的母亲。她给了地球上所有生物生命，给我们提供生活所必需的空气、食物、水和一切基本的需要。

曾经她美丽富饶，而现在她变得越来越脏，越来越贫脊，那都是我们造成的。请好好看一看她：受污染的江河湖海、扩张的沙漠、森林和野生生物的毁灭、臭氧层的耗尽……

她能忍受她的孩子到处乱扔废弃物吗?她能忍受她的孩子砍伐树木、毁坏草原，让酸雨毁灭一切吗?我们能忍受她遭受这样的痛苦吗?我们该问问我们自己，这就是我们对待母亲的方式吗?

洪水、干旱、酸雨……这些都是自然对我们的惩罚。每个人都应该清楚人类只有一个地球。如果我们继续这样对待她，她将不再适合我们居住了。是该我们好好爱她、照顾她、治疗她的时候了。我们应该拯救地球，以便拯救我们自己。

第四篇：animal Is an indIspensable part of Our Nature

animal Is an indIspensable part of Our Nature. as a very important role in the food chain, animal has contributed a lot to the diversity of biosphere. for a long time, animal and human beings had coexIsted with each other peacefully. howe(更多请你搜索：WWW.)ver, as the greed and superiority complex of human grows, they think they are the most advanced species in the world and have the right to dominate the world. so they begin to catch their old friends from the wild and cage them into small and dirty rooms.

as to whether animal should be kept in zoo or not, we are strongly against the action.

违反道德,把人类的欢乐建立在动物的痛苦上;

第五篇：save Our Mother planet

save Our Mother planet

th data of environmental pollution thatwereceive from all corners oftheglobegiveusnocauseforoptimIsm.

of cOurse, environmental pollution Is not a modern phenomenon. it began ever since people began to congregate in towns and cities. unfortunately, man refuses to acknowledge or correct hIs past mIstakes. ascities grew in the middle ages, pollution became even more evident. ordinances had to be passed in medieval cities against indIscriminate dumping of waste into the streets and canals. these, however, had little effect on the people’s consciences.i think that the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century was the point of no return.true, the standard of living increased, but it was achieved at a great environmental cost.

Our planet has its own mechanIsms to deal with natural pollutants. however, can the earth assimilate the additional millions of tons of chemicals like sulphur, chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide and methane that Our industries release each year? many a time, we have returned from their research tOurs around the world, lamenting the slow but sure destruction of Our cultural treasures. the carvings on the parthenon, a magnificent building in athens, have been eroded by acid deposition. the roman colosseum, england?s westminster abbey and india?s taj mahal have also fallen victim to insidious chemicals that float in the air.

years earlier, i had studied a secluded Island in the pacific and found its undIsturbed ecosystem in complete balance and stability. in despair, i once contemplated living the rest of my days on the Island in solitude. pollution, however, Is no respecter of boundaries - when i reached the Island, the beaches were awash with trash and dead marine life while the once-lush foliage were sparse and limp. it was then that i realized thIs dying planet needs allies and not fatalIsm and resignation. i returned to resume my crusade and i hope others will join me.
