雅思(ielts)寫作備考：每周背誦日積月累(4)

　　Now people in growing numbers are enjoying the benefits at dinner table from the application of the new scientific advances to agriculture.

　　現(xiàn)在，越來(lái)越多的人從餐桌上就能感受到新科技應(yīng)用到農(nóng)業(yè)方面所帶來(lái)的好處。

　　They appreciatively attribute what they eat every day, from different kinds of new vegetables to new fish varieties, to the efforts of scientists.

　　人們總是對(duì)科學(xué)家的工作充滿感激，因?yàn)槭撬麄兊呐�力才使得自己能吃到各種各樣的新品種蔬菜或是新的魚類。

　　However, can further scientific advance help the world solve the problem of future food supplies?

　　但是，人類是否能進(jìn)一步借助科技進(jìn)步來(lái)解決世界未來(lái)的糧食供應(yīng)問(wèn)題呢？

　　Some people stand to it that the advance in science will keep staying ahead of the food crisis of the world and provide a needed relief for the future supplies.

　　有些人堅(jiān)信，科技進(jìn)步將會(huì)始終超前于糧食危機(jī)而發(fā)展，并為未來(lái)的糧食供應(yīng)提供必要的技術(shù)支持。

　　They base their belief on such ground as science has effected the tripling of food yields since the green revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.

　　其中他們提出的依據(jù)之一就是：科技進(jìn)步已使世界的糧食產(chǎn)量，相對(duì)于60年代和70年代綠色革命時(shí)期增加了3倍。

　　Accordingly, they believe that more money for agricultural research can lead to another green revolution. Will their expectation come true?

　　據(jù)此，他們相信，給農(nóng)業(yè)科研投入更多的資金必然會(huì)出現(xiàn)另一次“綠色革命”。他們的這種希望會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)嗎？

　　In fact, the rapid population growth and environmental pollution are changing the basis of agricultural resources for the use of new technologies.

　　實(shí)際上，人口的快速增長(zhǎng)以及環(huán)境污染正在改變著技術(shù)應(yīng)用所需要的農(nóng)業(yè)資源。

　　According to a recent report, for example, the spreading cry for protein is straining limited agriculture land and draining tight fresh water supplies around the world.

　　比如，根據(jù)最近的一份報(bào)告，世界對(duì)蛋白質(zhì)急劇增加的需求，已使有限的耕地資源變得貧瘠，加劇了淡水資源的短缺。

　　If man’s attention is only put on the potential of scientific achievements, the earth’s limited economic resources will give up along with the increasing mouths to feed.

　　如果人類的注意力仍然只放在技術(shù)開(kāi)發(fā)上，那么，地球上有限的資源將無(wú)法再供養(yǎng)不斷增多的人口。

　　As is pointed out in the report, future food supplies will depend as much on family planners as on fishermen and farmers.

　　正如那份報(bào)告所指出的，未來(lái)的糧食供給既取決于農(nóng)業(yè)耕作者，又取決于計(jì)劃生育的決策者。

　　I think that the reduction in population growth and the protection of resources and environment take the same responsibility for feeding the world as any big scientific advance does.

　　我認(rèn)為，在保障人類糧食供給方面，采取措施降低人口出生率，保護(hù)土地資源和環(huán)境，將與任何重大科技成果一樣，有著同等重要的作用。
