我們是宇宙的偉大奇蹟中英對照作文

We are great wonders in the universe

Several weeks ago, I expressed my opinion about the relationship between humankind and nature. In my point of view,we are only extremely small parts of Mother Nature and should not interfere with the eco-system or violate its laws.

I hold the belief that in the face of the unfailing power of Mother Nature，the existence of we humanbeings is just like a very tiny drop of water in the vast ocean. We are not powerful and wise enough to make the conquest of nature really meaningful to our existence and development. Actually, we have never been able to be master of our planet earth,let alone the whole universe! And what seems incredible is that it is this" drop of water" that makes the Earth radically different from what it used to be. Perhaps humankind is the most intelligent and creative creature that has ever lived in the solar system. There is nothing more wonderful to be a so complicated organism that can have such a deep understanding of the spectacular world full of wonders!

Man has for centuries tried all possible ways of putting natural resources and energy to use. Industrial revolutions driven by new technologies gave rise to the unprecedented changes on the surface of our planet,making what used to be impossible possible. However，as the saying goes：Every coin has its two sides. Science and technology is undoubtedly a double—edged nced technologies have indeed promoted our social development，but at the same time caused adverse environmental changes. Air pollution, global warming,the shortage of drinking water and food,severe deforestation and fast-growing population all pose great threats to the sustainable development of our civilization. In the solar system，most places are either too hot or too cold for life to gain a Venus for example, a planet sharing many similarities with the planet Venus is a hellish world with the temperature on its surface above 470 degrees celsius. And what is really important about the irreversible fate of Venus is that we should be fully aware of the serious consequences of the greenhouse effcet being out of control!Or it may be very likely that our home planet will become a lifeless rock like Venus and Mars!

Most of us are inclined to take it for granted that the Earth will remain unchanging and be suitable for living on all the it is very misleading. According to scientific research，the environment on the Earth used to be too hostile for life to survive about four billion years is to say,what we take for granted is actually very precious and vulnerable! It takes the Earth over three billion years to make the evolution of life successful enough to generate the organisms with such extremely complicated structures like us!

That's where the rub is.I believe nobody wants to see our earth become a dead planet as a result of the severe global warming and all sorts of pollution. After all,there is only one Earth in the Earth is a really beautiful and unique planet worthy to be cherished and protceted by all the people living on it. So if we humans want to survive the next thousand years, we'd better take environmental protection seriously！

To put it simply,it is very irresponsible of us to continue our over-exploitation without taking the interests of next generations into account. We should not be too selfish because what we are doing now may have a far-reaching impact on our grand t civilization is too invaluable to suffer its disappearance so we humanbeings must be fully aware of the importance of cherishing the chance of being in unique existence in the universe!

我們是宇宙的偉大奇蹟

幾周前，我表達了自己對人與自然間的關係的看法。在我看來，我們人類僅僅是大自然中極其微小的部分，並且我們不應該干擾生態系統或是違背自然界的法則。

我相信，在大自然無窮無盡的力量面前，我們人類的存在就好似寬廣大洋中的一滴微不足道的水滴。我們還沒有強大和聰明到可以將征服自然變得對我們的存在和發展確實有意義的地步。實際上，我們從來沒有能力成爲地球的主宰，更別說整個宇宙了！但是，令人難以置信的是，正是“這一滴水珠”讓地球和過去有了天壤之別。也許，人類是太陽系之中曾經生活過的最富智能，最有創造力的生物。（這世上）沒有比成爲一個如此複雜的`有機體更令人愉快的事了，這個有機體是如此的複雜以至於他可以對其周圍充滿奇蹟的世界有一個深刻的理解。

在近幾個世紀中，人類已經嘗試了所有可能的方式去運用自然資源和能量。由新技術驅動的幾次工業革命，在我們居住的星球表面引

發了前所未有的巨大變化，讓過去的不可能成爲可能。但是，正如一句諺語所說：每個硬幣都有它的正反面。科學技術毫無疑問也是一把雙刃劍。先進的技術的確促進了社會的發展，但同時也導致了負面的環境變化。空氣污染、全球變暖、飲用水及食物的匱乏、嚴重的毀林行徑和快速增長的人口，都對人類文明的可持續發展造成了巨大的威脅。在太陽系中，大多數地方要麼太熱，要麼太冷，生命都無法在那些地方立足。以金星爲例，一顆與地球有着許多相似點的行星。金星是一個地表溫度超過470攝氏度的地獄般的世界。金星不可逆轉的悲慘命運對我們的重要啓示是：我們人類必須認識到溫室效應失控的嚴重後果！否則，我們的家園很可能會變成像火星和金星一樣的沒有生命跡象的岩石！

我們大多數人都傾向於認爲地球會長期保持現狀並且將永遠適合生命生存，這似乎是理所當然的，但這十分有誤導性。根據科學研究，在大約40億年前，地球環境對生物的生存來說太過惡劣。也就是說，我們認爲理所當然、稀鬆平常的世界其實是非常珍貴和脆弱的存在。爲了使生命的進化足夠成功來產生像你我一樣極度複雜的有機生命體，地球花費了超過30億年的時間！

這就是問題的關鍵。我相信，沒有人願意看到我們的地球由於嚴重的全球變暖和各種污染，變成一個死寂的星球。畢竟，宇宙中只有一個地球。地球確實是一顆美麗而獨一無二的行星，它值得每一個生存在它之上的人去珍愛和保護。所以如果人類要在下一個千年中繼續生存下去，我們最好還是認真對待環境保護。

簡而言之，不考慮下一代的利益而繼續進行過度開發的行爲是非常不負責任的。我們不能太自私自利，因爲我們現在的行爲就可能會對我們的子孫產生巨大的影響。偉大的人類文明是無價的，它太珍貴了，以至於我們不能夠接受它的消失。所以，我們人類必須充分意識到珍惜自己作爲宇宙中獨特存在的重要性。
