1.Where there should have been gentle blue-green waves lapping against the side of the ship, there was nothing but hot dry sand – as far as I could see in all directions.极目四顾，原先那种湛蓝色海涛轻拍船舷的景象已不复存在，取而代之的是茫茫的一片干燥灼热的沙漠。

2.After it crashed through the ice, took on its new passengers, and resubmerged, I talked with scientists who were trying to measure more accurately the thickness of the polar ice cap, which many believe is thinning as a re-suit of global warming.潜艇破冰上来，载上新的乘客后又潜了下去。我也就开始同那些正设法以高的精确度测量极地冰帽厚度的科学家们进行交谈。许多人认北极冰帽由于地球气候的转暖而正在变薄。

3.Now, I wanted to see the pole it-self, and some eight hours after we met the submarine, we were crashing through that ice, surfacing, and then I was standing in an eerily beautiful snowscape, windswept and sparkling white, with the horizon defined by little hummocks, or “pressure ridges ” of ice that are pushed up like tiny mountain ranges when separate sheets collide.我们登上潜艇约八个小时后，潜艇冲破冰层浮上面。于是，我便置身于一片神奇瑰丽的冰雪世界中。雪原上寒风劲扫，银光闪耀，其边缘则是一道由连绵起伏的小冰丘或由冰席相撞、相互挤压而形成小型山脉的冰层“压脊”勾勒出的地平线。4.As it happens, some of the most disturbing images of environmental destruction can be found exactly halfway between the North and South poles – precisely at the equator in Brazil – where billowing clouds of smoke regularly black-en the sky above the immense but now threatened Amazon rain forest.凑巧的是，破坏生态环境的一些最典型的、最令人担忧的事例刚好都发生在南北极正中间的地方——巴西境内的赤道带上——那儿滚滚浓烟时常弥漫着辽阔但现又面临着破坏的亚马孙热带雨林的上空。

5.This “noctilucent cloud” occasionally appears when the earth is first cloaked in the evening dark-ness;shimmering above us with a translucent whiteness, these clouds seem quite unnatural.这种“夜光云团”偶尔出现于夜幕开始笼罩大地的时候，它呈半透明的白色，在高空中闪烁发光，看起来颇不像自然之物。

6.In the process, we are once again adding to the threat of global warming, because methane has been one of the fastest-growing green-house gases, and is third only to carbon dioxide and water vapor in total volume, changing the chemistry of the upper atmosphere.我们的这种行为更进一步地增加了地球变暖的危险，因为甲烷是一种形成速度极快韵温室效应气体，它在大气中的总含量仅次于二氧化碳和水蒸气，使高空大气层的化学成分都发生了变化。

7.There are “local” skirmishes, “regional” battles, and “strategic” conflicts.他们经常将冲突根据其发生范围的大小分为三级，即“局部性冲突”，“地区性战斗”，及“战略性对抗”。

8.The concentration of carbon dioxide and other heat-absorbing molecules has increased by almost 25 percent since World War II, posing a worldwide threat to the earth's ability to regulate the amount of heat from the sun retained in the atmosphere.自第二次世界大战以来，大气层中二氧化碳和其他一些吸热物质分子的含量已增加了近百分之二十五，这便对地球自身具有的调节太阳热量在大气层中存留量的能力构成了世界性的威胁。

9.While no single discovery has had the kind of effect on our relationship to the earth that unclear weapons have had on our relationship to warfare, it is nevertheless true that taken together, they have completely transformed our cumulative ability to exploit the earth for sustenance--making the consequences, of unrestrained exploitation every bit as unthinkable as the consequences of unrestrained nuclear war.尽管任何一项新发现对人类与地球之间的关系所造成的影响都无法同核武器对人类与战争的关系所造成的影响相比，但这些科学发现结合在一起，却是千真万确地使人类所积累的开发利用地球资源以求生存的能力发生了根本性的变化——在这样的条件下，如果人类不加节制地随意开发利用地球资源，其后果就会同随意发动核战争一样不堪设想。

10.Global warming, ozone depletion, the loss of living species, deforestation--they all have a common cause: the new relationship between human civilization and the earth's natural balance.地球气候的转暖、臭氧层的破坏、物种的消亡、森林的毁坏——这些现象有一个共同的原因：人类文明与地球生态平衡的关系的变化。
