保护地球 Protecting the Earth

My childhood teacher told me that we should protect the earth. However, nowadays, people are killing animals and cutting down trees. These behaviors have caused damage to the environment. We live on the earth, we need to create a better environment because to protect the earth is to protect ourselves.

我小时候的老师告诉我，我们应该保护地球。然而如今，人们却在扼杀动物、砍伐树木，这些行为对环境造成了破坏。我们生活在地球上，需要创造一个更好的环境，因为保护地球就是保护我们自己。

With the rapid development of the economy, many factories discharge pollutants into the environment. Many years ago, we could see birds flying in the sky and fish in the clear river. Now, however, there are fewer and fewer birds and the river is dirty. We urgently need to protect the environment.

随着经济的迅速发展，许多工厂向环境排放污染物。很多年前，我们能够看到天空中飞翔的鸟儿，清澈的河水里的鱼儿。然而现在，鸟儿越来越少，河水也变得脏了。我们迫切需要保护环境。

When we look up at the sky and no longer see as many birds as we did many years ago, we realize that there are fewer and fewer of them, and it is difficult for us to find traces of them. The environment has been polluted and the earth has been damaged. We must protect the earth, forbid dumping rubbish and stop cutting down trees.

当我们抬头仰望天空，不再像很多年前那样看到很多鸟儿时，我们意识到它们已经越来越少了，我们很难找到它们的踪迹。环境已经被污染，地球也受到了破坏。我们有责任保护地球，禁止倒垃圾，停止砍伐树木。
