2019年12月六级第2套仔细阅读 Passage 2 原文翻译及答案解析

Industrial fishing for krill(磷虾) in the unspoilt waters around Antarctica is threatening the future of one of the world's last great wildernesses, according to a new report.

根据一份新报告，南极洲周围未受破坏水域的工业化捕捞磷虾正威胁着世界最后几大荒野之一的未来。

The study by Greenpeace analysed the movements of krill fishing vessels in the region and found they were increasingly operating "in the immediate vicinity of penguin colonies and whale-feeding grounds". It also highlights incidents of fishing boats being involved in groundings, oil spills and accidents, which posed a serious threat to the Antarctic ecosystem.

绿色和平组织的研究分析了该地区磷虾渔船的活动，发现它们越来越多地在“企鹅栖息地和鲸鱼觅食区的近旁”作业。报告还强调了渔船搁浅、漏油和事故的事件，这对南极生态系统构成了严重威胁。

The report, published on Tuesday, comes amid growing concern about the impact of fishing and climate change on the Antarctic. A global campaign has been launched to create a network of ocean sanctuaries to protect the seas in the region and Greenpeace is calling for an immediate halt to fishing in areas being considered for sanctuary status.

这份于周二发布的报告出炉之际，人们对渔业和气候变化对南极的影响日益担忧。一项全球运动已经启动，旨在建立海洋保护区网络以保护该地区的海域，绿色和平组织呼吁立即停止在可能被列为保护区地位的区域进行捕鱼。

Frida Bengtsson from Greenpeace's Protect the Antarctic campaign said: "If the krill industry wants to show it's a responsible player, then it should be voluntarily getting out of any area which is being proposed as an ocean sanctuary, and should instead be backing the protection of these huge tracts of the Antarctic."

绿色和平组织“保护南极”运动的Frida Bengtsson说：“如果磷虾行业想展示自己是一个负责任的参与者，那么它就应该自愿退出任何被提议为海洋保护区的区域，并转而支持保护这些南极的大片区域。”

A global campaign has been launched to turn a huge tract of Antarctic seas into ocean sanctuaries protecting wildlife and banning not just krill fishing, but all fishing. One was created in the Ross Sea in 2016, another reserve is being proposed in a vast area of the Weddell Sea, and a third sanctuary is under consideration in the area west of the Antarctic Peninsula--a key krill fishing area.

一项全球运动已经启动，旨在将南极海域的一大片区转变为海洋保护区，保护野生动物，并禁止不仅是磷虾捕捞，而是所有捕鱼活动。2016年在罗斯海创建了一个保护区，另一个保护区正在威德尔海的广阔区域被提议，第三个保护区正在南极半岛以西的区域考虑中——这是一个关键的磷虾捕捞区域。

The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources(CCAMLR) manages the seas around Antarctica. It will decide on the Weddell Sea sanctuary proposal at a conference in Australia in October, although a decision on the peninsula sanctuary is not expected until later.

南极海洋生物资源养护委员会（CCAMLR）管理着南极洲周围的海域。它将在10月于澳大利亚举行的一次会议上决定威德尔海保护区的提案，不过关于半岛保护区的决定预计要稍后才会做出。

Keith Reid, a science manager at CCAMLR, said that the organisation sought a balance between protection, conservation and sustainable fishing in the Southern Ocean. He said although more fishing was taking place nearer penguin colonies it was often happening later in the season when these colonies were empty.

CCAMLR的科学经理Keith Reid表示，该组织在南大洋寻求保护、养护和可持续捕鱼之间的平衡。他说，尽管捕鱼活动越来越多地靠近企鹅栖息地，但这通常发生在季节后期，当这些栖息地已经空无一物时。

"The creation of a system of marine protected areas is a key part of ongoing scientific and policy discussions in CCAMLR, " he added. "Our long-term operation in the region depends on a healthy and thriving Antarctic marine ecosystem, which is why we have always had an open dialogue with the environmental non-governmental organisations. We strongly intend to continue this dialogue, including talks with Greenpeace, to discuss improvements based on the latest scientific data. We are not the ones to decide on the establishment of marine protected areas, but we hope to contribute positively with our knowledge and experience.

他补充说：“建立海洋保护区体系是CCAMLR正在进行的科学和政策讨论的关键部分。我们在该地区的长期运作依赖于一个健康繁荣的南极海洋生态系统，这就是为什么我们一直与环保非政府组织进行公开对话。我们强烈希望继续这一对话，包括与绿色和平组织的会谈，以基于最新科学数据讨论改进措施。我们不是决定建立海洋保护区的机构，但我们希望用我们的知识和经验做出积极贡献。”
