聽(tīng)媽媽講那過(guò)去的事情

　　The drawing portrays a tragic scene in which a rabbit is telling a story to her son, with numerous fresh tree stumps surrounding them. It seems that the tree stumps are lamenting the loss of their paradise as well.

　　The picture aims at assailing a serious environmental problem—deforestation, for which several factors are responsible. In the first place, no one can ignore the fact that wood is an indispensable raw material for industrial production and daily life. In the second place, the expanding human population requires more living space, and forests are always the first choice humans decide to sacrifice. As a result, forests have experienced, and are experiencing fatal destruction worldwide.

　　Currently, people in increasing numbers come to realize the forests’ fundamental role in sustaining ecological balance, and their damage will result in irreversible harm to the world’s environment. Therefore, urgent and effective measures should be implemented so as to prevent deforestation. For instance, there are already some steps that have proved useful, say, the establishment of reserves of natural lands, the creation of substitutes of wooden products. The preservation and restoration of forests is a complex project that calls for more concern from the human society. （203 words）

　　這幅圖描繪了一個(gè)悲劇的場(chǎng)景：森林中，一只兔子正向幼兔講述過(guò)去的事情，在它們周?chē)�到處都是剛被砍掉的大�?shù)留下的樹(shù)樁，而且這些樹(shù)樁仿佛也在悲嘆失去的生活天堂。

　　這幅漫畫(huà)的目的在于質(zhì)問(wèn)一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的森林環(huán)境破壞問(wèn)題，這其中有許多原因。首先，沒(méi)有人可以忽略這一事實(shí)，木材是工業(yè)生產(chǎn)和人們生活中不可或缺的一種原材料；其次，不斷擴(kuò)張的人口規(guī)模需要更多的生存空間，而森林往往是人類(lèi)需求的第一個(gè)選擇。因此，在全世界范圍內(nèi)，森林正在經(jīng)歷致命性的毀滅。

　　現(xiàn)在，越來(lái)越多的人開(kāi)始意識(shí)到森林對(duì)于保持生態(tài)平衡所起的重要作用，而對(duì)森林的破壞將會(huì)對(duì)全球環(huán)境造成不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的影響。因此，我們必須采取緊急和有效的措施來(lái)制止這一砍伐森林的趨勢(shì)。例如，我們已經(jīng)有一些被證明為有效的措施，如建立自然環(huán)境保護(hù)區(qū)，發(fā)明替代木材的產(chǎn)品等。另外，森林的保護(hù)和恢復(fù)是一項(xiàng)復(fù)雜的系統(tǒng)工程，需要全社會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)保問(wèn)題的共同和全面的關(guān)注。
