Carl Safina on World Oceans Day 2010

EarthSky

It’s June, and that means World Oceans Day 2010.

現(xiàn)在是六月，這意味著2010年世界海洋日已經(jīng)來了。

Carl Safina: We are blessed with a magnificent and miraculous world ocean on this planet. But we are also stressing it in ways that we are not even close to bringing under control.

卡爾·薩芬娜：人類是非常有福的，因為地球上存在著如此神奇壯麗的海洋。然而人們并沒有好好珍惜這上天賜予的寶貴財富，他們不斷給海洋環(huán)境制造壓力，并不加以控制。

That's marine ecologist Carl Safina. He's a MacArthur Prize-winning scientist and author who co-founded the Blue Ocean Institute in 2003 with the goal of protecting Earth’s oceans. There are lots of reasons to protect them – including every breath we take. Worldwide, Safina said, about half of the oxygen we breathe in is from microscopic plankton that live in the ocean.

您剛才聽到的是海洋生態(tài)學(xué)家卡爾·薩芬娜的講話。他是麥克阿瑟天才獎獲獎科學(xué)家及作家，2003年與人合作創(chuàng)立了海洋保護機構(gòu)“藍色海洋研究所”。人類有充分的理由保護海洋，它與人們的呼吸息息相關(guān)。薩芬娜說，全世界范圍內(nèi)，人們吸入的氧氣有50%來自細小的海洋浮游生物。

Carl Safina: The most important thing people need to know about the world’s oceans is that we live by it. Without the oceans, we wouldn’t have enough oxygen to breath. The planet would never be able to sustain life.

卡爾·薩芬娜：關(guān)于海洋，人們最需要了解的一件事就是，它是人類賴以生存的根本。沒有海洋，人類就沒有充足的氧氣呼吸。地球上也不會再有生命存在。

Of course, Safina said, the oceans today are stressed. He mentioned pollution – and overfishing. Dr. Safina told EarthSky his thoughts on World Oceans Day.

薩芬娜表示，目前海洋環(huán)境的確面臨著很大的壓力。這些壓力包括污染和過度捕撈。他接受EarthSky記者采訪時談到了自己對世界海洋日的看法。

Carl Safina: I think that we need it more than once a year, because we’re not doing a good enough job at keeping the oceans in mind. And of course we have this terrible situation in the Gulf of Mexico now, which is just taking a lot of attention and a lot of emotion as we watch it unfold.

卡爾·薩芬娜：我覺得世界海洋日僅僅一年一度是不夠的，因為人們沒有很好地意識到海洋的重要性。當然現(xiàn)在墨西哥灣漏油事件是大家關(guān)注的焦點，但這也只是因為人們見證了這一事件的發(fā)生。
