第 26 课:Protecting Our Beach 保护我们的海滩

The other day I was taking a walk along the beach and I became very angry.有一天,当我沿着海滩散步时,我感觉很糟糕。

I felt bad about the plastic bottles and wrappers that were tossed all over the sand.因为沙滩上到处都是丢弃的塑料瓶和包装纸。

Rusty, empty beer cans lay about and some broken glass bottles made me mad.到处躺着的生锈的、空的啤酒罐、破碎的玻璃瓶子让我很难受。

I was worried to see unhealthy leftover snacks being eaten by sea gulls. 我担心地看到海鸥正在啃食被吃剩的不健康的小吃。

I had gone to the beach to enjoy nature but instead I ended up picking up garbage there.我原打算到海滩来享受自然,但最终却在那儿捡拾垃圾。

I wondered if I was the only one that felt so bad walking on the beach that day.我很想知道我是不是那天唯一一个在海滩上散步感觉如此糟糕的人。

I hoped that people would know that throwing their garbage all over the beach creates an ugly place that is also dangerous to both humans and the wildlife. 我希望人们能看到那到处都是的垃圾会使我们的海滩丑陋无比,这样的海滩对人和野生动植物来说都是很危险的。

Next time when we go to the beach we should be careful with our garbage.下次我们再去海滩的时候,我们要记住妥善收拾好自己的垃圾。

Remember to dispose of those plastic wrappers and aluminium cans and beer bottles properly. 记住将那些塑料包装纸、铝罐和啤酒瓶妥善处理掉。

That way we can enjoy the beauty of the beach without worrying about cutting ourselves with pieces of glass or harming the wildlife there with unhealthy leftovers.这样我们才能尽情享受美丽的海滩,而不用担心我们自己是否会被玻璃碎片划伤,也不用担心人类不健康的残存食物会危害海滩上的动物。

It will be a much nicer place for all of us to spend our free time. 海滩才会成为我们休闲时更好的去处。
