地球——我们的母亲-The Earth——Our Mother
The Earth——Our Mother
Pcople often say that the earth is like our mother. She gives life to all the living things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential things we need for living.
Once she was beautifhl and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is due to what we have done to her. Please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction of the forests and wild life, and the depletion of the ozone layer…
Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear too see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering so much? Isn＇ it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?
Floods, draughts, acid rain…,these are the punishments from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth, lfwe go on treating her like this, it won＇ t be fit for us to live in any longer. It＇ s time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. We should save the earth so as to save ourselves.
地球——我们的母亲
人们经常说地球就像我们的母亲。她给了地球上所有生物生命，给我们提供生活所必需的空气、食物、水和一切基本的需要。
曾经她美丽富饶，而现在她变得越来越脏，越来越贫脊，那都是我们造成的。请好好看一看她：受污染的江河湖海、扩张的沙漠、森林和野生生物的毁灭、臭氧层的耗尽……
她能忍受她的孩子到处乱扔废弃物吗?她能忍受她的孩子砍伐树木、毁坏草原，让酸雨毁灭一切吗?我们能忍受她遭受这样的痛苦吗?我们该问问我们自己，这就是我们对待母亲的方式吗?
洪水、干旱、酸雨……这些都是自然对我们的惩罚。每个人都应该清楚人类只有一个地球。如果我们继续这样对待她，她将不再适合我们居住了。是该我们好好爱她、照顾她、治疗她的时候了。我们应该拯救地球，以便拯救我们自己。
