Wildlife Protection

　　野生動物保護

　　Dinosaurs died out because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just because humans do harm to it. For example， tigers are hunted for fur to make carpets so that they can only live in secure reserves； grassland is destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being affecting distant cities.

　　Last year， scientists saw some monkeys rubbing themselves with a certain kind of insects to protect themselves from fierce mosquitoes biting. According to the result of the inspection， they found that the insect contains a powerful drug， so local farmers were employed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insects disappeared from the whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans， the farmers burst into laughter and responded， “Our real loss is our decreasing income.”

　　We should appreciate the natural balance and pay more attention to the importance of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in letting wildlife live in peace， can we smile in relief.

　　恐龍因一次意外事件而滅絕，但是今天的野生動植物卻是因為人類的傷害而消失或處在危險中。例如，老虎被獵殺以獲取做地毯的皮毛，以致它們只能生活在安全的保護區里；草地被毫不憐憫地破壞，以致沙塵暴開始影響遙遠的城市。

　　去年，科學家觀察到猴子在身上擦某種昆蟲來保護自己不受兇猛的蚊子的叮咬。根據檢查的結果，他們發現這種昆蟲含有一種具有強大效力的藥物，于是，當地的農民都被雇來抓蟲子。結果是，這種昆蟲從這整個地區都消失了。當被告知說這是整個人類的損失時，農民們都突然大笑著回應道：“我們減少的收入才是我們真正的損失呢！”

　　我們應該意識到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生動植物的保護。直到我們成功讓野生動植物安詳平靜地生活，我們自己才能如釋重負地笑開顏。
