首记：

Foreword：

 

我只是时间中的一粒小小的尘埃

I am just a small little dust

 

行走在穹隆巨大的世界里

Walking in the vast and boundless world

 

有那么一天

I know one day in the future

 

我也会消失

I will disappear as well

 

跟随历史的长河

Flowing with the river of history

 

奔流而去。。。

Streaming forever...

 

白暨豚灭绝了，在我们倒数奥运的时候

The Yangtze River Dolphin extincted, when we countdown the Olympic

在中国的母亲河长江中生活了2500万年的精灵

The fairy living in our mother river---Chang Jiang for over 250 million years

科学家说，它和大象、狒狒一样聪明，和海豚一样具有灵性

The scientist said: they are as smart as elephant and baboon, and very intelligent like dolphin

我们的后代再也看不见活蹦乱跳的白暨豚了

Our future generation cannot see a live Yangtze River Dolphin any more.

 

人类是可怕的

Human is terrible

不断的扩张自己的空间

they continuously expand their space

却没给大自然的其他生灵留下足够的生存空间

but did not leave enough space for other living creatures to alive

长江里过度饱和的航船

the excessive number of ships in Changjiang river

不但破坏了2500年活化石的声纳系统

not only kill this 250 million years old living forssil's sonar system

伤害了它们的躯体（因为白暨豚是哺乳动物，用肺呼吸，声纳系统被破坏后，就极易与航船相撞而水中昏迷，甚至死亡）

and hurt them(coz the Yangtze River Dolphin is a kind of mammals, and breathe by lungs. If their sonar system is destroied, will make them easy to hit the ships and lead to unconsciousness in the water, easily to lead to drown and die)

日益发达的经济和日益严重的长江污染并存

the economy and serious pollution of Changjiang River growing hand by hand

是人，杀死了白暨豚

is human to kill this creature

 

而同在澳大利亚

Meanwhile, in Australia

考拉也在遭受着同样的命运

koala is suffering the same fate

他们对人类没有任何威胁

they never trouble the human being

 

由于人类对土地的占有和树木的砍伐

but becasue occupation of land and cutting of trees by human being

考拉的生存空间越来越小，90%的栖息地已被人类占领

the living space for koala become smaller and smaller， even 90% is took off by human

据统计，每年仅死在公路上的考拉就已达4000只

according to statistics， about 4，000 koala dead in the road every year

如果考拉得不到保护，10年之后，它们就会像白暨豚一样

if no protection， after 10 years， the koala will be gone like the Yangtze River Dolphin

从地球上彻底消失

extinct forever from this planet

而我们，只能从仅有的影像或者图片中，了解它

and we can only see and know them from pictures or videos

 

正在消亡的，不单单是各种珍稀物种，还有中国几千年的传统文化

not only some rare and endangered species are gradually disappearing, but also the Chinese traditional culture lasting for thousands of years

许多让世人叹为观止的传统工艺，也在面临着失传的危机

lots of breathtaking traditional crafts and technology are face the crisis of dying out

比如说，具有千年历史的潮绣、麦秸画、牙雕、金镶玉、宫廷绣、岩彩画、剪纸、皮影戏、藏族唐卡绘画等等。

 

 

remember them in your soul, and remember this priceless treasures our ancestors left for us for over 5000 years.
