Whilechina’sGDPhasrisenatanannualrateof8to12percentsincethenationembarkedonopeningandreforminthelate1970s,environmentaldamagehaseatenawaybetween8to13percentofthatGDPgrowtheveryyear.

Thisisbecausevirtuallyallofthecountry’skeyindustriesmining,textiles,paper,ironandsteel,chemicals,petrochemicalsandbuildingmaterialsconsumelargeamountsofenergyandcreatagreatdealofpolution.

Therefore,theChineseeconomyremainsdominatedbyresource-hungryandinefficientpolluters.

Inadditon,manyprovinceshavefailedtomeetthemajorenvironmentportectiontargetsofthe10thFive-YearPlan（2001-2005）,althoughtheyhaxemetandexceededtheplan’sGDPtargetsinadvance.

True,injust30years,ChinahasmadeeconomicadvancesthattookWesterncountriesacenturytoaccomplish.ButitisequallytruethattheenvironmentalproblemssufferedbyWesterncountriesoverthose100yearshavevisitedupon（对…进行惩罚）Chinawithinjustthreedecades.

Developednationsgenerallytackledtheirenvironmentalproblemswhentheirpercapita（每人）annualGDPreachedbetweenUS$8000andUS$10000.Butwecannotwaitthatlongtosortout（整顿、解决）ourenvironmentalwoes（悲哀）.

Itispredictedthattheenvironmentalcrisiswillintensify（加剧）whenChina’spercapitaannualGDPreachesjustUS$3000.Bearingthisinmind,wemustdoourutmost（竭尽所能）toresolvetheseenvironmentalproblemsassoonaspossible.

China’senvironmentalproblemsaretheresultofverycomplexcauses.Butinthefinalanalysis（总之，归根结底）,theycanultimatelybeattributedtoourone-sidedunderstandingofMarxismbetweenthe1950sand1970s.

Atthetime,wetreatedMarxismexclusively（排外的，专有的）asaphilosophy（哲学、人生观）ofclassstruggle,overlooking（1忽视，2原谅，3管理监督4俯视）itsotheraspects.Thiswascompoundedbythemisunderstandingthateconomicdevelopmentcouldcureallofourills.

Later,thepursuitofmaterialgainseemedtobecomesociery’ssoleobjective,resultinginadeclineinmoralstandards.Traditionalculture,whichlaysgreatstresson（把重点放在）harmonybetweenhumanbeingsandnature,wasregardedasastraitjacket（紧身衣）limitingeconomicgrowth.

TOmakemattersworse,whilewediscardedthesefineelements（原理，基础）oftraditionalChineseculture,wefailedtoabsorbmanyofthebetteraspectsofmoderncivilization（现代文明）.Forinstance,theconceptofrightsandobligationsandthatofthesocialcontract（民约论,社会契约论），whichstandforthemostessentialvaluesinamodernsociety,thosewhichconstitutethemostimportantpreconditions（前提，先决条件）forenvironmentalprotectiontoday,golargelyignoredbysomeChinese.

Asaresult,theboundariesofrightsandoligationgsintermsofenvironmentalprotectionoftenbecomeblurred（模糊）.Andenvironmentalprotectionprojectsoftenfailtobeincludedinthecalculationofproductioncosts.Inaddition,theenvironmentalrightsofdisadvantagedgroupsaredeprived.

Duetothefailuretotaketheenvironmentintoaccountinoururbanplanning,China’sbigcitiesareexpandingatrapidpace,usinguppreciouswaterresoursce,andresultinginworseningtrafficcongestion（交通堵塞）andairpollution.

Meanwhile,environmentalproblemshavebeencausedinmanyprovincesduetotheirfailuretotakethefragile（脆弱得，经不起折腾得）ecologicalsystemintoaccountwhenplanningtheconstructionofpowergenerationandchemicalplants.

Inviewofallthis,weshouldincludeenvironmentalfactorsinourmacro-economic（整体经济）planning.This,inturn,requiresthatamorerationalstrategybemappedout（筹划、安排某事；详细提出）inplanningthedistributionofmajorindustrialprojects（在建的工业项目，工业施工设计）andenergy-hungry（耗能多的）undertakings（任务、事业）.Thisshouldfollowacarefulstudyoftheavailableenergy,land,mineraldeposits（矿床）andbiologicalresources.Excessiveandchaotic（混沌的，一团糟的）exploitationshouldbeturnedintoproperandorderlyuse.

Weshouldalsooverhaul（彻底检查，赶上、追上）thewayinwhichlandplanningisconducted.Thismeansthatsector（部门、领域）monopolyandadministrativeboundaries（行政疆界）shouldbebrokenupandthatregionalandsectoraldevelopmenttargetsbesetaccordingtothepopulationindifferentareas,theirpotentialandcurrenteconomicgrowth,thevolumeofresourcesandtheenvironment’scapacitytoabsorbpollution.

Weshouldalsodeviseanewenergystrategyassoonaspossible.Industrializednationshavedevelopedandmadegreatuseofnewenergyresources,suchasnuclear,solar,windandbiogas（生物气）.

Incontrast,China’stechnologicaldevelopment（技术开发）inthisregard（在这点上）notonlytrails（被..拖在后面，跟踪追踪，输失败）thatofdevelopedcountriesbutalsolagsbehindthatoffellowdevelopingnationssuchasIndiaandPakistan（巴基斯坦）.Usingnewenergyistheonlywaywecanpursueeconomicgrowthwithoutdoingirreparable（不能修复，不可弥补）damagetoourenvironment.Thereissimplynoalternative.

Thepublichasthebiggeststake（股份，利害关系）inenvironmentalprotectionandis,therefore,thebiggestdrivingforcebehindenvironmentalundertakings.Therefore，localcommunities（地方社区）,non-governmentalorganizations,businessandenvironmentalprotectionbodiesallneedtodotheirbit（做自己分内的事，做有益的贡献）.Theirinvolvement（参与）shouldnotbelimitedtothetraditionalmethodsoflegislation,supervisionandmakingappealstotheauthorities.Manyotherwaysshouldbeintroduced,includingpublichearings（公平）,publicwelfare（社会公益）lawsuits（诉讼）,enhancedmediacoverage（增强的媒体新闻报道量）andvoluntaryactivities.

全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。

例如汽车污染的空气影响了人们的呼吸，工厂释放污染的气体，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排人河里。

另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。

事实上，污染正威胁我们的生存。

　　地球是我们的家园，我们有责任为我们自己和我们的后代去照顾好它。

庆幸的是，愈来愈多的人们已经意识到这些问题。

政府已经采取了很多措施去解决这些问题，法律已被通过以制止污染。

我希望这些问题在不远的将来能得到解决，我们的家园变得越来越好。

　　全世界的环境问题在变得越来越严重。

随着工农业的发展，汽车制造噪音、排放毒气，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排入河里。

另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。

整个地球生态平衡正在改变，环境的巨大破坏已带来负面影响，甚至对人类生存带来巨大威胁。

　　我们必须面对现实，采取行动解决环境问题。

例如必须通过新的法律严格控制工业污染问题，大众必须接受污染危害的教育等。

我们希望这些措施的有效实施能带给我们一个健康的环境。
