A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
环境
Environmental
If we bestow but a very little attention to the economy of the animal creation, we shall find manifest examples of premeditation, perseverance, resolution, and consumate artifice, in order to effect their purpose.
如果我们对动物创造的经济只给予很少的关注,我们就会发现明显的预谋、毅力、决心和完善技巧的例子,以便达到它们的目的。
We assume that everything's becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that's true; our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.
我们假设所有的东西都变得更有效率了,从直接意义上说这是正确的;我们的生活在很多方面都变得更好。但这种改善是通过对自然资源的大量低效利用而实现的。
After all, sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.
毕竟,可持续发展意味着像公司一样经营全球环境公司——地球公司:拥有折旧、摊销和维护账户。换句话说,保持资产的完整性,而不是破坏你的自然资本。
I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing, but the rise of the so-called conservative, political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.
我认为,一种解决环境问题的旧方式正在消失,但是,这个国家所谓的保守派政治运动的兴起并不是走向未来的趋势,而是对我们正在经历的这种非常广泛的转变的反应。
