虽然都是“生态保护”,但英美文化就是不一样。——老夏考研每日一题

    生态系统(ecosystems),有利生态(eco-friendly),河流群落(river community)等等表达,都是与生态环境相关的表达。

    老夏考研“每日一题”选自《自然》,原文文章标题为“Prepare river ecosystems for an uncertain future”(为不确定的未来做好河流生态系统的准备)。

    今天这个词“resilience”是一个外刊高频词,虽然不在大纲词表内,但还是值得关注哟。

    【题目】The word “resilience” is closest in meaning to ______   

    [A] diversity.

    [B]mechanism.

    [C] reluctance.

    [D] flexibility.

    【试题】

    To maintain water supplies and avoid devastating fish population crashes, rivers must be managed adaptively, enhancing their resilience* and limiting risk. Researchers must also develop better forecasting tools that can project how key species, life stages and ecosystems might respond to environmental changes. This will mean moving beyond simply monitoring the state of ecosystems to modelling the biological mechanisms that support their survival. Today, river managers track properties such as species diversity and population abundance, and compare them with historical averages. If they spot troubling declines, they might intervene by, for instance, altering the amount of water released from dams. But by the time trends are detected, they can be impossible to check. Understanding how sensitive ecosystems might change is crucial to managing them in the future.

    【参考译文】

    ①To maintain water supplies and avoid devastating fish population crashes, rivers must be managed adaptively, enhancing their resilience and limiting risk. 为了维持水的供应和避免毁灭性的鱼类数量崩溃,必须对河流进行适应性管理,增强其顺应力并限制风险。

    ②Researchers must also develop better forecasting tools that can project how key species, life stages and ecosystems might respond to environmental changes. 研究人员还必须开发更好的预测工具,以预测关键物种、生命阶段和生态系统可能如何对环境变化作出反应。

    ③This will mean moving beyond simply monitoring the state of ecosystems to modelling the biological mechanisms that underpin their survival. 这将意味着不仅仅是监测生态系统的状态,还要模拟支撑它们生存的生物机制。

    ④Today, river managers track properties such as species diversity and population abundance, and compare them with historical averages.如今,河流管理人员会追踪物种多样性和种群丰度等属性,并将它们与历史平均水平进行比较。

    ⑤If they spot troubling declines, they might intervene by, for instance, altering the amount of water released from dams. 如果他们发现了令人不安的水量下降,可能会进行干预,例如水坝放水改变大坝的水量。

    ⑥But by the time trends are detected, they can be impossible to check.但是当趋势被探查到的时候,水量下降也不无法遏制了。

    ⑦Understanding how sensitive ecosystems might change is crucial to managing them in the future.了解敏感的生态系统可能会发生怎样的变化,对于未来管理它们至关重要。
