聽媽媽講那過去的事情
The drawing portrays a tragic scene in which a rabbit is telling a story to her son, with numerous fresh tree stumps surrounding them. It seems that the tree stumps are lamenting the loss of their paradise as well。
The picture aims at assailing a serious environmental problem-deforestation, for which several factors are responsible. In the first place, no one can ignore the fact that wood is an indispensable raw material for industrial production and daily life. In the second place, the expanding human population requires more living space, and forests are always the first choice humans decide to sacrifice. As a result, forests have experienced, and are experiencing fatal destruction worldwide。
Currently, people in increasing numbers come to realize the forests' fundamental role in sustaining ecological balance, and their damage will result in irreversible harm to the world's environment. Therefore, urgent and effective measures should be implemented so as to prevent deforestation. For instance, there are already some steps that have proved useful, say, the establishment of reserves of natural lands, the creation of substitutes of wooden products. The preservation and restoration of forests is a complex project that calls for more concern from the human society. (203 words)
這幅圖描繪了一個悲劇的場景：森林中，一只兔子正向幼兔講述過去的事情，在它們周圍到處都是剛被砍掉的大樹留下的樹樁，而且這些樹樁仿佛也在悲嘆失去的生活天堂。
這幅漫畫的目的在于質問一個嚴重的森林環境破壞問題，這其中有許多原因。首先，沒有人可以忽略這一事實，木材是工業生產和人們生活中不可或缺的一種原材料；其次，不斷擴張的人口規模需要更多的生存空間，而森林往往是人類需求的第一個選擇。因此，在全世界范圍內，森林正在經歷致命性的毀滅。
現在，越來越多的人開始意識到森林對于保持生態平衡所起的重要作用，而對森林的破壞將會對全球環境造成不可逆轉的影響。因此，我們必須采取緊急和有效的措施來制止這一砍伐森林的趨勢。例如，我們已經有一些被證明為有效的措施，如建立自然環境保護區，發明替代木材的產品等。另外，森林的保護和恢復是一項復雜的系統工程，需要全社會對環保問題的共同和全面的關注。
