The two graphs tell us something about population growth and wildlife extinction in the U.S. 

這兩張圖告訴我們一些關于美國人口增長和野生動物滅絕的信息。

From 1800, the American population has been growing all the time. 

從 1800 年開始，美國人口一直在增長。

In the 100 years from 1600 to 1700, the number of wildlife species remained almost stable, with the next 200 years witnessing a growing trend in wildlife extinction. 

從 1600 年到 1700 年的 100 年間，野生動物物種的數量幾乎保持穩定，接下來的 200 年野生動物滅絕的趨勢越來越大。

It can be easily seen that the more the human beings, the fewer the animal species.

不難看出，人類越多，動物種類就越少。

There may be several reasons for this effect. 

這種影響可能有幾個原因。

First, as human population expands, more and more wild animals are hunted for food. 

首先，隨著人類人口的增長，越來越多的野生動物被獵食。

Second, due to all kinds of pollution and the damage of ecosystem caused by man, some animals have nowhere to live. 

其次，由于人類造成的各種污染和生態系統的破壞，一些動物無處生存。

Third, some animals are of greatmedical value, so they become the targets for making money.

第三，一些動物具有很高的醫療價值，所以它們成為賺錢的目標。

 It is time we took some measures to stop this disturbing trend. 

現在是我們采取一些措施來阻止這種令人不安的趨勢的時候了。

On one hand, the government should pass some laws and regulations to prevent people from killing more wild animals and forbid further damage to our environment. 

一方面，政府應該通過一些法律法規來防止人們捕殺更多的野生動物，并禁止對我們的環境造成進一步的破壞。

On the other hand, we should cultivate the awareness that animals are our friends and their extinction poses a threat rather than brings benefits to us. 

另一方面，我們應該培養這樣一種認識，即動物是我們的朋友，它們的滅絕對我們構成威脅而不是給我們帶來好處。

Only when human beings live in harmony with all kinds of animals can we really build a beautiful and healthy world.

只有人類與各種動物和睦相處，才能真正建設一個美麗健康的世界。

Human Population &Wildlife  Protection

The two graphs tell us something about population growth and wildlife extinction in the U.S. From 1800, the American population has been growing all the time. In the 100 years from 1600 to 1700, the number of wildlife species remained almost stable, with the next 200 years witnessing a growing trend in wildlife extinction. It can be easily seen that the more the human beings, the fewer the animal  species.

There may be several reasons for this effect. First, as human population expands, more and more wild animals are hunted for food. Second, due to all kinds of pollution and the damage of ecosystem caused by man, some animals have nowhere to live. Third, some animals are of great medical value, so they become the targets  for making money.

It is time we took some measures to stop this disturbing trend. On one hand, the government should pass some laws and regulations to prevent people from killing more wild animals and forbid further damage to our environment. On the other hand, we should cultivate the awareness that animals are our friends and their extinction poses a threat rather than brings benefits to us. Only when human beings live in harmony with all kinds of animals can we really build a beautiful and healthy world.
