Voice 2: Footprints can have a big effect. Footprints affected Josh's small garden. But our eco-footprints can have an even larger effect on the earth. Today's Spotlight is on eco-footprints.
聲音2:足跡可以產(chǎn)生重大的影響。足跡對(duì)喬什的小花園造成了影響。而我們的生態(tài)足跡甚至可以對(duì)地球產(chǎn)生更大的影響。今天重點(diǎn)報(bào)道節(jié)目就來談?wù)勆鷳B(tài)足跡。
Voice 1: An ecological footprint, or eco-footprint, is not an actual mark on the ground. Instead, it is an idea to understand a person's effect on the earth. Every person on the earth uses resources to live. We use the earth to grow food. We cut down trees to build houses. And we use coal to create electricity and heat. We use these resources to support ourselves.
聲音1:生態(tài)足跡并不是指留在地上的印跡。而是指?jìng)€(gè)人對(duì)地球產(chǎn)生的影響。地球上的每個(gè)人在生活中都要使用資源。我們用土地種植食物。我們砍掉樹木建房子。我們用煤發(fā)電和供熱。我們使用這些資源來維持生活。
Voice 2: People need land to produce natural resources. They also need land to break down waste into smaller parts. A person's eco-footprint measures how much land a person needs to do this. Many people in the world would need more land than we have on the earth. We are using too much of the earth's natural resources. Our eco-footprints are too big.
聲音2:人們需要土地生產(chǎn)自然資源。需要土地分解廢棄物。一個(gè)人的生態(tài)足跡可指一個(gè)人在做這些事時(shí)需要的地域空間。世界上有很多人需要的地域空間超過其在地球上所擁有的。我們使用了地球上太多的自然資源。我們的生態(tài)足跡太太了。
