CNN News: 到2020年 世界上2/3野生动物将会灭绝？

The World Wildlife Fund, an international conservation group, says more than two-thirds of the world`s wildlife could be gone by the year 2020.

世界野生动物基金会，这个国际保护组织，表示，截止到2020年，世界上将有2/3的野生动物会灭绝。

The organization says there`s already been a 58 percent decrease in the number of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles since 1970. The number of elephants as we`ve reported has dropped drastically, in part because of poaching. And the WWF says overfishing could make a third of the planet`s sharks extinct.

该组织表明，自1970年鱼类、哺乳动物、鸟类和爬行动物的数量下降了58%.我们之前报道过，由于捕杀等原因，大象的数量也急剧下降。世界野生动物基金会表示，过度捕捞使世界上1/3的鲨鱼灭绝。

Looking at wildlife as a whole, one major reason for all this is habitat loss. A WWF conservation scientist says it`s because people are using so much of the planet and destroying so much of the animals` habitat. His organization suggests more government laws protecting the environment and that people look for more sustainable products and renewable energy.

就整体而言，野生动物灭绝的主要的原因就是栖息地丧失。一位世界野生动物基金会环保科学家表示，人类利用了地球上绝大面积，并且在不断破坏动物的栖息地。基金会建议，应该出台更多保护环境的政府法律，并且人类应该寻找更多的可持续产品以及可再生能源。

But not all scientists totally agree with the WWF report. A conservation ecology professor at Duke University says it`s true that wildlife is declining, but he called some of the WWF`s numbers sketchy and said its research is flawed, in part because most of it focuses on Western Europe.

但是并不是所有的科学家都同意世界野生动物基金会的报道。杜克大学的生态学教授表示，野生动物的确正在减少，同时他表示基金会的数字统计粗略，同时研究存在缺陷，造成上述结果的原因是因为，基金会的研究的焦点是西欧。

As history books defined it, the Cold War started after World War II. It involved the U.S. and its allies versus the Soviet Union and its allies.

历史书上的定义是，二战之后，开始冷战。涉及的对象是美国及其盟友以及苏联和其盟友。

The rivalry was political, economic, ideologic, but it stopped short of an outright military conflict.

此次竞争涉及政治、经济以及意识形态，但是没有直接的军事冲突。

Now, though, there`s a military buildup in Eastern Europe that`s the largest since the Cold War. The United Kingdom is planning to send fighter jets to Romania. The U.S. is set to send troops and tanks to Poland. Russia recently sailed warships close to British waters on their way to Syria.

现在，东欧建立了自二战以来，最大的军事组织。英国计划派遣战斗机到罗马尼亚。美国也计划派遣军队和坦克到达波兰。俄罗斯最近将军舰接近英国海域。

It all has international officials asking, is this the beginning of a new Cold War?

国际官员询问，这难道标志着新的冷战开始吗?
