中2019年翻译资格考试三级口译练习题：消费品对环境破坏的解决方案
汉译英
由于世界人口众多，对消费品的需求已达到顶点。制造这些产品的工厂和工业通常被认为是环境破坏的始作俑者。原因有很多，有一些有效的解决办法可以在很大程度上防止这种损害，本文讨论了这些问题和解决办法。
首先，很自然，庞大的人口增加了对各种消费品的需求，为了满足需求，每天都在建立新的工厂和工业。为了提供大量工厂所需的空间，树木和森林正在被砍伐。有时，农田被用来建造工厂，这对环境有直接影响。此外，几乎每家工厂都在造成全球变暖，污染空气。工厂经常消耗自然资源，排放化学废料到水里。这正在污染水源并威胁着自然生态系统的稳定。
再一次，对消费品日益增长的需求是人类开发自然资源的一个原因。塑料和类似材料用于包装是土地退化的原因。汽车、电子设备和奢侈品等消费品直接导致了气温升高和温室效应。
解决这个问题的办法必须是非常有效和长期的。其中一个解决方案是教育人们在购买商品时要节俭。政府应该严格控制工厂的位置和工厂排放的废物数量。然后，在河流、湖泊、肥沃的农田附近建立工厂应该被禁止。除此之外，应该引入环保的替代燃料，并将太阳能用于办公室和工业。其他一些解决办法，如废物回收、对奢侈品、一次性包装材料课以重税、大规模植树项目，都应该到位。最后，应该强迫工厂和消费品销售组织参与植树造林。
综上所述，自然资源的过度使用和人类的奢侈对自然环境产生了非常不利的影响。为了拯救我们赖以生存的地球，应该立即实施有效的解决方案，防止由此造成的破坏。
参考译文
With a sheer volume of the world population, the demand for consumer products has reached to the vertex. The factories and industries which are manufacturing these goods are often attributed to deteriorating the natural environment. The causes are many and there are some efficient solutions that can prevent this damage to a great extent and this essay deals with these issues and solutions.
To begin with, it is quite natural that the huge population has increased the demand for various consumer products and to meet the demands, new factories and industries are being established each day. To provide the spaces required for this overwhelming number of factories, trees and forests are being cut. Sometimes agricultural fields are being used to build such factories. This has a direct impact on the environment. Furthermore, almost every factory is contributing to the global warming and polluting the air. Factories often consume natural resources and emit chemical wastages to water. This is polluting the water and threatening the very existence of the natural ecosystem.
Again, the increasing demands for consumer products is a reason humans exploit the natural resources. Plastics and similar materials used for packaging are the reason the degradation of the land. The consumer products like cars, electronic devices and luxury items directly contribute to the temperature increase and greenhouse effect.
The solutions to this problem have to be very efficient and long term. One such solution could be educating people to be frugal while purchasing goods. Governments should strictly control the location of factories and the amount of wastages those factories emit. Then, establishing factories near rivers, lakes, fertile agricultural lands should be banned. On top of that, eco-friendly alternative fuels should be introduced and using solar power for offices and industries should be compulsory. Some other solutions like waste recycling, imposing heavy taxes on luxury items, use of disposable packaging materials and mass tree plantation projects should be in place. Finally, factories and consumer products selling organisations should be forced to participate in tree plantation.
In conclusion, the overuse of natural resources and the human luxury affect the natural environment very adversely. Effective solutions to prevent the damages caused by this should be immediately implemented to save the earth we live in.
