From the picture, we can see clearly that our Earth is suffering from “lung cancer” caused by environmental pollution. Its deteriorating condition is threatening all forms of life, pushing them to the edge of extinction. Just as is vividly depicted, continents that used to be covered by green life now turn deadly black.
The damage to the natural environment began as early as the arrival of industrilization. While abundant products are offered to the society, industrialization also brings the side effect of all forms of pollution. Moreover, human exploitation of natural resources has caused destruction that is far beyond our imagination.Currently the ecosystem is on the verge of collapse, while the population of mankind is still increasing steadily and uncontrollably. More unfortunately, human beings seem addicted to industrial production and material wealth but are hardly aware of the potential dangers.
We must realize that we are neither the master of the Earth, nor should we become the slaves of the advanced technology. Man and nature are supposed to coexist in great harmony. Without changing our negative attitude towards nature, humans will face a fatal destiny. To briefly conclude, economic development should not be achieved at the cost of our Earth’s “health”.
譯文：
從這幅圖中，我們可以清楚地看到地球正在遭受由于環境污染導致的“肺癌”的折磨。正在惡化的狀況威脅到了所有的生命，將生物推到了滅絕的邊緣。該圖生動地描繪了那些原先覆蓋著綠色植被的大陸現在都變成了死寂的黑色。
人類對于環境的破壞始于工業革命時代的到來。工業化給社會帶來了豐富的產品，也帶來了一些副作用，包括所有形式的污染。此外，人類對于自然資源的過度開發已經帶來了超乎我們想象的破壞。坦率地說，現在生態系統已經到了崩潰的邊緣，而人類的污染卻仍然在持續并失控地增長。更不幸的是，人類似乎已經對于工業生產和物質財富上癮了，他們很難意識到潛在的威脅。
但是，我們必須意識到我們并不是地球的主宰，更不該成為先進技術的奴隸。人類和自然應該和諧共存。如果人類不改變對待自然的態度，就會面臨不幸的命運?？偨Y來說，經濟發展不應該以犧牲地球的“健康”為代價。
