Paul: So have you seen all these freakish weather events on the news all around the world?
保罗:你看到全世界都出现反常天气的报道了吗?
Amy: Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to pay attention, yeah. It's been pretty bad in some places. I think, it's been the wettest January on record in the UK at the moment.
艾米:看到了!C+RXS+PpL9。我一直在关注这个问题W&Y#9PHUpFstS。有些地方的情况非常糟糕QuhkXks~L#83。现在是英国有史以来最潮湿的一月份wllPtCoO;qLI
Paul: Right, right, right. So do you think it's kind of indicative of climate change? Are you a climate change believer or a climate change denier?
保罗:对,没错)LZvAWgr8@8##+q*Fc!v。你认为这是不是表明出现了气候变化?你是气候变化相信者还是气候变化否认者?
Amy: I think it's hard to deny really. I think what humans do to the planet is going to have some effect and science is science, you know. It's backed up by evidence and facts and scientists don't tend to say things until they know it's true or as true as it can be. So yeah, I'm definitely a believer in climate change, I think. We are affecting things on the planet. How about you?
艾米:我认为很难去否认Dk5OZ358,-%NP。人类对这个星球所做的事情一定会产生影响,科学就是科学.nr350R8SWu8c9*jF[。这是由证据和事实支持的理论,科学家在弄清楚事实以后才会公开说明(]%Csm2j^c。我当然相信气候变化VG;gwTbX*=vZzakJritL。我们正在影响这个星球SMkfUE~OL9Yh,Ui1。你呢?
Paul: I've read quite a lot about it. And yes, there is a science to support it but there's also a lot of science to — not to deny it but there's definitely a lot of questions that aren't answered yet. It's a very sort of complex issue. I mean, these global systems of weather and you've got all these like organic processes going on that we just don't really understand. And then trying to explain all these complex events by saying it's climate change, it's...I mean, what worries me is that by denying it, it seems to also be a sort of justification for us to continue living the way we are, which worries me a lot. Whether it's true or not, I think we need to be thinking about how we can live better. And that means, living in ways that are less, sort of, damaging on our environment.
保罗:我看过很多相关文章s&@UdKt|%5l5c]Va;O.|。有科学支持这种说法,但是也有很多科学依据……虽然没有否认气候变化,但是现在仍有很多问题没有答案1q(+I1]izj;N。这是一个非常复杂的问题n9&*ouTtT*@A-.5dy*RB。我们并不太了解地球的天气系统,还有这些有机过程P3rrZn_20.7K!+。不能仅仅用气候变化来解释如此复杂的事件,令我担心的是,如果否认气候变化,这就好像成为了我们继续这种生活方式的正当理由,这令我非常担心pD*W2G%^Tn.Tw。无论气候变化是真还是假,我认为我们都要认真思考怎样才能过更好的生活O[29.R**l#i7ZZk7K&s。也就是说,用对环境损害较小的方式去生活C-cZzVjr9BkeM5-@H
Amy: Yeah, I agree. I agree. I've also read a bit about weather systems that are perhaps not—because of climate of change, every planet has weather systems that come and go. And I understand that part but I also fully agree that we have to stop being so destructive. I think it's pretty clear. You can't continue cutting down acres and acres and acres of really valuable resources like the rainforest. I mean, we need that to breathe, so it just doesn't make sense. Yeah, I think we definitely have to stop being so destructive.
艾米:对,我同意MldlP@l4vbN8nD*。我同意你的观点q.DX&W(sW]Z@2。我也看过一些有关天气系统的文章,作者认为可能这并不是气候变化,因为每个星球都有变化无常的天气系统JO5&UC[E8Ix]F-]。我理解这点,但是我完全同意我们必须要停止这种极具破坏性的行为A@iFEPMp)V-%(].i7,8i。我认为这很明显TLW-xd5wi*m。不能再继续大面积砍伐热带雨林等宝贵的资源了T_pQaHm=yCGynFxqp.&。我们需要树木改善我们的呼吸,所以砍伐森林这种行为没有道理0giRn_96(Y_=-)hY。我认为我们必须停止这种破坏性行为O41|mxF&8P
