问题    Interpret the following passages from English into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear each passage only once. Now, let’s begin.
We have come together to lend our voices to the growing global effort to combat the illegal wildlife trade — a trade that has reached such unprecedented levels of killing and related violence that it poses a grave threat not only to the survival of some of the world’s most treasured species, but also to economic and political stability in many areas around the world. I have said before that we must treat the illegal wildlife trade as a battle, because the rising and insatiable demand has provided an economic incentive for trafficking of wild animals. It has become increasingly criminalized and professional.
   Organized bands of criminals are stealing and slaughtering elephants, rhinos and tigers, as well as large numbers of other species, in a way that has never been seen before, pushing many species to the brink of extinction. They are taking these animals using the sophisticated weapons of war — assault rifles, silencers, night vision equipment, and helicopters. Unarmed park rangers are no match for these organized gangs and high-powered equipment. Tragically, many brave rangers have lost their lives while trying to save those animals.
   I hope you share my belief that it is shocking that future generations may know a world without these magnificent animals and the habitats upon which they depend. This year, I have become even more devoted to protecting the resources of the earth for not only my own son but also the other children of his generation to enjoy. I want them to be able to experience the same Africa that I did as a child. It is, of course, even more important for each child growing up in countries where these animals live. It is nothing less than immoral that they are losing their birth right to fuel the greed of international criminals.
   My profound belief is that humanity is less than humanity without the rest of creation. The destruction of these endangered species will diminish us all. Allow me just to give you some sense of the scale of the problem with a few staggering numbers: More than 30,000 elephants were killed last year — amounting to nearly 100 deaths per day. In the past 10 years, 62 percent of African forest elephants have been lost. If this rate continues, the forest elephant will be extinct within 10 years. As recently as 100 years ago, there were as many as 100,000 wild tigers living in Asia. Today, it is believed there are fewer than 3,200 left in the wild.
   Despite the terrible crisis that we face, we continue to be optimistic that the tide can be reversed. We have been impressed by the brilliant work already being done on the ground to improve enforcement and in consumer countries to stop the demand for wildlife products. We are also extremely encouraged that this issue is starting to receive the attention it deserves at the highest levels of governments. It is especially heartening that many African leaders are proactively developing plans of action and seeking solutions.
   We are hopeful that this meeting will lead to tangible results on the ground. Neither governments, international organizations, nor private companies can tackle this enormous task alone. It will take action from all of us to beat back this highly organized criminal activity. In the face of such a threat, it is natural to feel powerless, but I have seen the extraordinary impact of advances in protection on the ground and the power of social media in reducing demand for these products. Each one of us can help by raising our voices to support them. We have to be the generation that stops the illegal wildlife trade and secures the future of these magnificent animals and their habitats, for if we fail, it will be too late.

选项

答案    今天我们在这里,为扩大全球打击非法买卖野生动物的声势,发出共同的声音。非法买卖野生动物的犯罪已经达到了空前的地步,对世界珍稀野生动物的杀戮和暴力不仅危及了它们的生存,还威胁到世界上很多地区的经济和政治稳定。我说过,我们必须把反对非法野生动物买卖视为一场战斗,因为不断增长和无法满足的需求给野生动物贩卖带来经济刺激,使其变成了犯罪行为,而且越来越专业。
   有组织的犯罪者采用前所未见的手段疯狂盗猎大象、犀牛和老虎以及大量其他动物,把它们逼到濒临灭绝的危险处境。他们用最先进的战争武器,如突击步枪、消音器、夜视装备和直升机来猎杀野生动物。非武装的公园守护人员根本敌不过这些有组织的盗猎者和先进装备。可悲的是,许多英勇的守护人员为了抢救这些动物献出了自己的生命。
   我们的后代所知道的世界里很可能没有这些美丽的动物和它们赖以生存的栖息地了,这真的令人震惊。我希望你们同意我的这一看法。今年,我更加积极地投入地球资源的保护工作,不单是为了我自己的儿子,也是为了他这一代所有的儿童。我希望他们能看到我孩提时代所看到的非洲。当然,对于那些本来就生活在野生动物天堂的非洲儿童,这更为重要。为了满足国际盗猎罪犯的贪婪,这些孩子正在丧失他们与生俱来的权利,这是非常不道德的。
   我坚信,没有与其他造物共生的人类是不完整的人类。对这些濒危物种的破坏最终也将毁灭我们人类。为了说明问题的严重性,让我给你们一些惊人的数据:去年,3万多头大象遭到猎杀,几乎是每天死亡100头。过去的10年间,62%的非洲森林象消失了。如果这种情况继续下去,非洲森林象只需10年就会彻底灭绝。在亚洲,大约一百年前有十万只野生老虎,而如今,野外生活的老虎还不足3200只。
   尽管面临严重危机,我们仍然乐观,坚信这种局势能够得到扭转。在加强执法,禁止进口和购买野生动物制品等方面,基层有关人员做了大量出色的工作,非常了不起。许多国家的政府最高层也开始重视这个问题了,这让我们很受鼓舞。尤其令人振奋的是,许多非洲国家领导人正在积极制定行动计划,寻求解决方案。
   我们希望这次会议能产生切实的成果。无论是政府,国际组织,还是私人企业,都难以独自承担如此艰巨的任务。只有大家一致行动才能击败这种高度组织化的犯罪。在这种危害面前,感到力不从心是很自然的,但是我看到了基层在保护动物方面取得进步所产生的巨大影响。我也看到了在减少野生动物制品消费的宣传方面社会媒体的力量。我们每一个人都可以发出声音,表达我们的支持。我们这一代人必须制止非法野生动物买卖,保护这些珍惜动物的将来和它们的栖息地,因为一旦失败,将为时过晚。
