Whilechina’sGDPhasrisenatanannualrateof8to12percentsincethenationembarkedonopeningandreforminthelate1970s,environmentaldamagehaseatenawaybetween8to13percentofthatGDPgrowtheveryyear.
Thisisbecausevirtuallyallofthecountry’skeyindustriesmining,textiles,paper,ironandsteel,chemicals,petrochemicalsandbuildingmaterialsconsumelargeamountsofenergyandcreatagreatdealofpolution.
Therefore,theChineseeconomyremainsdominatedbyresource-hungryandinefficientpolluters.

True,injust30years,ChinahasmadeeconomicadvancesthattookWesterncountriesacenturytoaccomplish.ButitisequallytruethattheenvironmentalproblemssufferedbyWesterncountriesoverthose100yearshavevisitedupon(对…进行惩罚)Chinawithinjustthreedecades.
Developednationsgenerallytackledtheirenvironmentalproblemswhentheirpercapita(每人)annualGDPreachedbetweenUS$8000andUS$10000.Butwecannotwaitthatlongtosortout(整顿、解决)ourenvironmentalwoes(悲哀).
Itispredictedthattheenvironmentalcrisiswillintensify(加剧)whenChina’spercapitaannualGDPreachesjustUS$3000.Bearingthisinmind,wemustdoourutmost(竭尽所能)toresolvetheseenvironmentalproblemsassoonaspossible.
China’senvironmentalproblemsaretheresultofverycomplexcauses.Butinthefinalanalysis(总之,归根结底),theycanultimatelybeattributedtoourone-sidedunderstandingofMarxismbetweenthe1950sand1970s.
Atthetime,wetreatedMarxismexclusively(排外的,专有的)asaphilosophy(哲学、人生观)ofclassstruggle,overlooking(1忽视,2原谅,3管理监督4俯视)itsotheraspects.Thiswascompoundedbythemisunderstandingthateconomicdevelopmentcouldcureallofourills.
Later,thepursuitofmaterialgainseemedtobecomesociery’ssoleobjective,resultinginadeclineinmoralstandards.Traditionalculture,whichlaysgreatstresson(把重点放在)harmonybetweenhumanbeingsandnature,wasregardedasastraitjacket(紧身衣)limitingeconomicgrowth.
TOmakemattersworse,whilewediscardedthesefineelements(原理,基础)oftraditionalChineseculture,wefailedtoabsorbmanyofthebetteraspectsofmoderncivilization(现代文明).Forinstance,theconceptofrightsandobligationsandthatofthesocialcontract(民约论,社会契约论),whichstandforthemostessentialvaluesinamodernsociety,thosewhichconstitutethemostimportantpreconditions(前提,先决条件)forenvironmentalprotectiontoday,golargelyignoredbysomeChinese.
Asaresult,theboundariesofrightsandoligationgsintermsofenvironmentalprotectionoftenbecomeblurred(模糊).Andenvironmentalprotectionprojectsoftenfailtobeincludedinthecalculationofproductioncosts.Inaddition,theenvironmentalrightsofdisadvantagedgroupsaredeprived.
Duetothefailuretotaketheenvironmentintoaccountinoururbanplanning,China’sbigcitiesareexpandingatrapidpace,usinguppreciouswaterresoursce,andresultinginworseningtrafficcongestion(交通堵塞)andairpollution.
Meanwhile,environmentalproblemshavebeencausedinmanyprovincesduetotheirfailuretotakethefragile(脆弱得,经不起折腾得)ecologicalsystemintoaccountwhenplanningtheconstructionofpowergenerationandchemicalplants.
Inviewofallthis,weshouldincludeenvironmentalfactorsinourmacro-economic(整体经济)planning.This,inturn,requiresthatamorerationalstrategybemappedout(筹划、安排某事;详细提出)inplanningthedistributionofmajorindustrialprojects(在建的工业项目,工业施工设计)andenergy-hungry(耗能多的)undertakings(任务、事业).Thisshouldfollowacarefulstudyoftheavailableenergy,land,mineraldeposits(矿床)andbiologicalresources.Excessiveandchaotic(混沌的,一团糟的)exploitationshouldbeturnedintoproperandorderlyuse.
Weshouldalsooverhaul(彻底检查,赶上、追上)thewayinwhichlandplanningisconducted.Thismeansthatsector(部门、领域)monopolyandadministrativeboundaries(行政疆界)shouldbebrokenupandthatregionalandsectoraldevelopmenttargetsbesetaccordingtothepopulationindifferentareas,theirpotentialandcurrenteconomicgrowth,thevolumeofresourcesandtheenvironment’scapacitytoabsorbpollution.
Weshouldalsodeviseanewenergystrategyassoonaspossible.Industrializednationshavedevelopedandmadegreatuseofnewenergyresources,suchasnuclear,solar,windandbiogas(生物气).
Incontrast,China’stechnologicaldevelopment(技术开发)inthisregard(在这点上)notonlytrails(被..拖在后面,跟踪追踪,输失败)thatofdevelopedcountriesbutalsolagsbehindthatoffellowdevelopingnationssuchasIndiaandPakistan(巴基斯坦).Usingnewenergyistheonlywaywecanpursueeconomicgrowthwithoutdoingirreparable(不能修复,不可弥补)damagetoourenvironment.Thereissimplynoalternative.
Thepublichasthebiggeststake(股份,利害关系)inenvironmentalprotectionandis,therefore,thebiggestdrivingforcebehindenvironmentalundertakings.Therefore,localcommunities(地方社区),non-governmentalorganizations,businessandenvironmentalprotectionbodiesallneedtodotheirbit(做自己分内的事,做有益的贡献).Theirinvolvement(参与)shouldnotbelimitedtothetraditionalmethodsoflegislation,supervisionandmakingappealstotheauthorities.Manyotherwaysshouldbeintroduced,includingpublichearings(公平),publicwelfare(社会公益)lawsuits(诉讼),enhancedmediacoverage(增强的媒体新闻报道量)andvoluntaryactivities.
Ecologicalandenvironmentallegislationshouldberealigned(重新排列)andreintegrated(在重新完整)toaccentuate(在突出、强调)theenvironmentaldepartments’positionintermsof(就..而言)unified(统一的)supervisionandadministration.Thisismadenecessaryduetooverlapping(重叠)legislationinthisregard,weakimplementation(执行)ofthelawandnumerouslegalloopholes(漏洞).

全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。
例如汽车污染的空气影响了人们的呼吸,工厂释放污染的气体,山上的树木被砍伐,污水不断被排人河里。
另外,无论我们走到哪里,到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。
事实上,污染正威胁我们的生存。
地球是我们的家园,我们有责任为我们自己和我们的后代去照顾好它。
庆幸的是,愈来愈多的人们已经意识到这些问题。
政府已经采取了很多措施去解决这些问题,法律已被通过以制止污染。
我希望这些问题在不远的将来能得到解决,我们的家园变得越来越好。

全世界的环境问题在变得越来越严重。
随着工农业的发展,汽车制造噪音、排放毒气,山上的树木被砍伐,污水不断被排入河里。
另外,无论我们走到哪里,到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。
整个地球生态平衡正在改变,环境的巨大破坏已带来负面影响,甚至对人类生存带来巨大威胁。
我们必须面对现实,采取行动解决环境问题。
例如必须通过新的法律严格控制工业污染问题,大众必须接受污染危害的教育等。
我们希望这些措施的有效实施能带给我们一个健康的环境。
