GM Crops:Food of Future?

转基因作物：未来的粮食？

Genetically-modified crops have made a big splash in the news lately.

转基因作物最近在新闻中引起很大轰动。

During the Oxford Farming Conference, held in London early this month, the British government’s chief scientist, Professor John Beddington, warned that Britain must embrace genetically-modified(GM) crops and cutting-edge developments to avoid catastrophic food shortages and future climate change (The Guardian, 7January 2010). 本月初，在伦敦举行的牛津农业会议上，英国政府首席科学家John Beddington

教授警告说，为了避免灾难性的食物短缺和未来气候变化英国必须接受转基因

作物和发展前沿（卫报，7january 2010）。

This announcement came under fire from farmers, academics and environmental groups.

这一通告受到农民、学术界和环保组织的强烈批评（攻击）。

They fear that GM seeds will erode traditional farmers’ rights and practices, contaminate seed supplies, and increase farmers’ dependence on private monopolized agricultural resources.

他们担心转基因种子会侵蚀传统农民的权利和做法，污染种子供应，增加农民

对私人垄断农业资源的依赖。

In recent years, hundreds of millions of acres around the world (the US tops the list followed by Canada) have been planted with GM seeds.

近年来，世界各地有数亿英亩土地(美国位居首位，其次是加拿大)已经种植了

转基因种子。

These seeds derived from organisms whose DNA has been modified through genetic engineering.

这些种子来源于通过基因工程改造DNA的生物体。

They are altered using lab techniques that make a particular crop drought-

tolerant,resistant to pests, or richer in a particular nutrient.

它们通过实验室技术改变作物，使作物具有耐旱性、抗虫性，或者在特定营养

物质中更丰富。

There are many concerns about GM foods, including issues relating to health, the environment and contamination.

人们对转基因食品有许多担忧，包括与健康、环境和污染有关的问题。Environmentalists and farmers fear that genetically-engineered insect-resistant crops could harm beneficial insects and upset-ecosystem balances.

环保人士和农民害怕转基因抗虫作物会伤害有益的昆虫，破坏生态平衡。Some scientists share their concern that genes inserted into plant or animal foods may inadvertently create new allergens (substances that cause allergies in some individuals) or toxins.

一些科学家也担心植入动物或植物中的基因可能无意中产生新的过敏原（引起

某些人过敏的物质）或者毒素。

There are also concerns about the overall threat to the seed diversity and the healthy diversity of our food supply.

也有人担心对种子多样性的全面威胁以及事物供应的健康多样性

Climate change and its current and potential impacts on food supplies have an increasing profile globally.

气候变化及其现状和食物的潜在影响在全球有越来越多的情况(侧面信息) Increasing global population and urbanization combined with the need to combat climate change, means the world will need to produce more food over the next decades, using less land, less water, less fertilizer and less pesticide.

随着全球人口和城市化的增加以及应对气候变化的需要，世界将需要在未来几

十年中用更少的土地、更少的水、量少的农药来生产更多的粮食。

In the race to tackle the problems of climate change, a growing number of countries are viewing GM crops as a vital tool for feeding a growing world population from a limited supply of agricultural land.

在应对气候变化问题的竞赛中，越来越多的国家把转基因作物看作是从有限的

农业供应量中养活日益增长的世界人口的一个重要工具。

According to Eldis, a database and email service of information source on international development, ‘Transgenic crops, with a traits like drought-tolerance or the ability to use nitrogen more efficiently, are proposed as vital tools to enable farmers to adapt to a warmer,direr climate.’

据Eldis说，一个数据库和国际发展信息源的电子邮件服务，“转基因作物，具有抗旱性状或利用氮的能力更高最近，提出了重要的工具，使农民适应温暖的气候，更加可怕。”

Eldis 认为，一个数据库和国际发展信息源的电子邮件服务，具有抗旱性的转基因作物或者更有效使用氮的转基因作物提出了一个使农民适应温暖气候的工具，气候干燥剂。

UK-based PG Economics recently confirmed that genetically-modified(GM) crops had significantly reduced the release of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural practices through less fuel use and additional soil carbon storage from reduced tillage associated with GM crops.

最近，总部设在英国的PG经济学指出：转基因作物大大减少了在农业实践中减少燃料使用的温室气体的排放量的释放以及与转基因作物相关的减少了耕作，增加了土壤中碳的储藏量。

Critics of GM point out that GM crops are ineffective in tacking the underlying political and economic causes of food insecurity including the lack of access to land, water and energy.

转基因作物的批评者指出，转基因作物在解决粮食不安全的根本政治和经济原因是无效的，食物不安全的原因包括缺乏土地、水、和能源

They argue that GM food could be disastrous for small-scale farmers as the costs are much higher and they risk falling into debt.

他们认为转基因食品对小规模农户来说可能是灾难性的，因为成本太高，他们有可能陷入债务。

Many farmers also believe that the profit of the agrochemical industry is main force behind the emergence of GM crops.

许多农民还认为，转基因作物出现后农药行业的利润才是主力军

Genetically-modified crops could provide more and better choices for farmers, but so far, they represent a limited genetic ownership.

转基因作物可以为农民提供更多更好的选择，但到目前为止，它们代表了呈现出了有基因限制的所有权。

Four multinational corporations----Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science and Dupont ---- now control most of the GM seeds and pesticides market----pesticides are made by the same companies that engineer the seeds.

四个跨国企业——孟山都、先正达、拜耳作物科学和杜邦----现在控制了大部分的转基因种子和农药市场，杀虫剂被处理过的种子的同样的公司控制。

To purchase genetically-modified seeds, a farmer must sign an intellectual property agreement in order to prevent the duplication of the genetic enhancements

为了购买转基因种子，农民必须签署知识产权协议，以防止基因增强的重复。With the total monopoly over GM Seeds, it is impossible for independent researchers to verify how these crops are actually performing.

由于转基因种子被全部垄断，独立的研究者核实这些作物的实际运作形式是不可能的。

Under the threat of litigation, scientists cannot test a seed to explore the different conditions under which it thrives or fails.

在诉讼的威胁下，科学家无法测试一个种子，以探索其兴盛或衰败的不同条件。

And perhaps most importantly, they cannot examine whether the genetically-modified crops lead to unintended environmental side effects.(Scientific American Magazine, August 2009)

也许最重要的是，他们不能检查转基因作物是否会导致意想不到的环境副作用。（科学美国杂志，2009年8月）

Although agrochemical companies and scientists have a lot of time and money to convince people that there is really nothing to worry about, consumers have reacted strongly against GM food.

虽然农药公司和科学家有大量的时间和金钱来说服人们，没有什么可担心的，但消费者对转基因食品反应强烈。

For many, the claim that having GM crops will help to feed the world’s growing population is invalid.

对许多人来说，拥有转基因作物将有助于养活世界上日益增长的人口的说法是无效的。

Many people in the world are suffering from hunger because they cannot afford to buy food, not because it is unavailable.

世界上许多人挨饿是因为不能负担得起事物，而不是因为食物短缺

For GM crops to be seen as a solution for future food shortages, academic freedom should be guaranteed for scientists to work independently of biotechnology companies.

为使转基因作物被视为未来粮食短缺的解决方案，科学家们必须保证学术自由与生物技术公司独立工作。

Governments should also introduce competition rules to prevent private sector monopolies and effective institutions to enforce them.

各国政府还应引入竞争规则，防止私营部门垄断和有效的机构强制执行这些规则

There is also a need to increase funds to public sector agricultural research in support for sustainable, safe and farmer-led agriculture.

人们还需要增加公共部门农业研究的资金来支持可持续、安全和以农民为主导的农业。

第三课 T1. Today we are in the throes of a worldwide reformation of cultures, a tectonic shift of habits and dreams called, in the curious vocabulary of social scientists, “globalization”. (Para.1)今天我们正经历着一种世界范围文化剧变的阵痛,一种习俗与追求的结构性变化,用社会科学家奇特的词汇来称呼这种变化,就叫“全球化”. T2. Whatever their backgrounds or agendas, these critics are convinced that Western—often equated with American—influences will flatten every cultural crease, producing, as one observer terms it, one big “McWorld”. (Para.4) 不管他们的背景和纲领如何,这些对全球化持反对态度的人深信西方的影响—往往等同于美国的影响—会把所有文化上的差异一一压平,就像一位观察家所说的,最终产生一个麦当劳世界,一个充斥美国货和体现美国价值观的世界. T3. But I also discovered that cultures are as resourceful, resilient, and unpredictable as the people who compose them. (Para.8) 不过我也发现文化就如同构成文化的民族一样,善于随机应变,富有弹性而且不可预测.

农林英语翻译

现代农林英语课后翻译 Unit 1 Urban Agriculture Urban forestry involves (refers to / is concerned with) forestry activities introduced from wildness and countryside to populous cities where economy, culture, industry and business (commerce) are aggregated (clustered). Most metropolitan cities are currently prosperous but noisy (clamorous) with deteriorating ecological environment. People living in such a crowded and narrow space suffer from a worsening physical quality. To develop urban forestry can beautify living places, purify air, reduce noise and adjust local climate (microclimate), so that the living quality of urban people can be improved. Generally, urban forestry has provided a new approach to the urban environmental problems. 城市林业是把林业由野外、农村引进人口稠密的经济文化与工商业集中的城市的林业活动。目前大多数城市繁华、喧闹、生态环境恶化，生活在拥挤狭小的城市空间里的人们身体素质下降。发展城市林业可以美化环境、净化空气、减少噪音和调节小气候，改善城市人的生活质量。城市林业为解决城市的环境问题提供了一种新的途径。 Unit 2 Forestry Management With the development of both economy and civilization in human society, people have greatly improved their knowledge and understanding about forests. They therefore have also dramatically changed their social demands for forestry. As a result, more world attention has been widely paid to the function that forests play to maintain and improve environment. In 1992, UN Conference on Environment and Development bestowed priority on forestry and it became a political promise of the highest rank. In addition, it was particularly emphasized in the meeting that nothing has been more important than forestry among the problems that the world summit conferences will deal with. It is a distinct milestone in world civilization history to place forestry issues at such a high position. 随着人类社会的经济发展与文明进步，人们对森林的认识有了重大转变，社会对林业的需求也发生了很大的变化，森林维护与改善生态环境的功能在世界范围内得到了广泛的的重视和关注。1992年联合国召开的环境与发展大会以“赋予林业以首要地位”为最好级别的政治承诺，并特别强调“在世界最高级会议要解决的问题中，没有任何问题比林业更重要了”，将林业问题提高到前所未有的高度，这是世界文明发展史上一个重要的里程碑。 Unit 3 Biodiversity China is one of the countries boasting the richest biodiversity and also one of the earliest adopting the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Chinese Government has highly valued the work of biodiversity conservation by formulating and enforcing a series of related laws and regulations, so that a legal system on the conservation and biodiversity has fundamentally formed. In addition, it has established and consolidated the coordination mechanism on the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity as well as the scheme of Inter-ministerial Joint Meeting on biological species resources, laid down and issued the National Action Plan on the

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.
