When it comes to the land,David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet · 2020 — 第 16 / 17 章 · 3'29" · C1
塞伦盖蒂的捕食者要很多猎物才养得活,而人每选一块肉,也在悄悄索要一大片土地。when it comes to(一谈到)把话头转到土地,make space for(腾出地方给)点明目标:让荒野回来。想聊环保、饮食和取舍,这两句马上能用。
话头先转到土地:要大幅缩减耕地,才能把空间还给荒野,而最快也最管用的办法是改变饮食。开头用 when it comes to(一谈到)引出土地问题,make space for(腾出地方给)说明让荒野回来的目标,再用 unwittingly(并非有意,却做了)点出每选一块肉都在无形中索取土地。后面举荷兰的例子:国土不大,却靠家庭农场和可持续技术把产量提高十倍,成为世界第二大食品出口国。想讨论环保、饮食选择或资源利用,这些说法都能直接套用。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
when it comes tomake space forunwittinglylargely plant-based
本章短语
腾出地方给clear room so something can exist
少耕种不是为了少干活。make space for 把腾出来的地交给要回来的荒野。口气是非这样不可,不是商量。
We moved the boxes to make space for a second monitor.我们把箱子挪开,好给第二台显示器腾地方。

解说先把话头转到土地。when it comes to 用来圈住范围,后面才谈少占地。语气平稳,像把镜头转过去。
When it comes to the land,大幅砍掉,不是修修补补
we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, so that we can make space for returning wilderness.腾出地方给
少耕种不是为了少干活。make space for 把腾出来的地交给要回来的荒野。口气是非这样不可,不是商量。
we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, so that we can make space for returning wilderness.目的状语:so that 后面才是目的:少占地,是为了把地方还给荒野。
we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, so that we can make space for returning wilderness.定语从句:area 后省了 that,we use to farm 就是用来耕种的那片地。
we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, so that we can make space for returning wilderness.重音放在radically,reduce放轻跟着走
we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, so that we can make space for returning wilderness.又最快、又最管用的办法
And the quickest and most effective way to do that is for us to change our diet.要达成,得先耗掉很多
Large carnivores are rare in nature because it takes a lot of prey to support each of them.lot与of贴着走,中间的t别停顿
Large carnivores are rare in nature because it takes a lot of prey to support each of them.铺开来的一大片,不是一个点
Whenever we choose a piece of meat, we too are unwittingly demanding a huge expanse of space.isn't尾音别落地,马上接the
There just isn't the space.以植物为主,非纯素
这是一句假设。largely plant-based 把饭食说成以植物为主,口子仍开着,下一句才说到用地可以减半。不是禁肉令。
If we all had a largely plant-based diet,虚拟条件:If we all had 是假设,饮食尚未改变,结果留给下一句。
If we all had a largely plant-based diet,指目前这一阶段,就是眼下
we would need only half the land we use at the moment.at和the收短,耳朵只留moment
we would need only half the land we use at the moment.让同一块地长出更多
And because we would be then dedicated to raising plants, we could increase the yield of this land substantially.没有空间或余地
荷兰农场小而密。no room for 接 expansion,是地块无法再向外扩,不是屋里没处放。语气在交代限制。
It's covered with small family-run farms with no room for expansion.从有限的一份里拿到最多
地已经不能再向外扩。getting the most out of 是在夸荷兰农夫能从每一公顷里多收粮食,语气是夸奖,不是责备。
So, Dutch farmers have become expert at getting the most out of every hectare.产量升到原先的十倍
Raising yields tenfold in two generations两件事叠在同一段时间里
while at the same time using less water, fewer pesticides,伴随状语:using 的主语是农夫,不是增产这件事;少用水、少打药和增产一起发生。
while at the same time using less water, fewer pesticides,排放出去的碳比以前少
less fertilizer and emitting less carbon.名次第二,前面只剩一个
Despite its size, the Netherlands is now the world's second largest exporter of food.简单办法和尖端技术一起上
It's entirely possible for us to apply both low-tech and hi-tech solutions to produce much more food from much less land.根本没有,一点也没有
Even in places where there's no land at all.从那个时候起一直到现在
we'll start to reverse the land-grab that we've been pursuing ever since we began to farm,缺着,而且时间上等不及
which is essential because we have an urgent need for all that free land.腾出来、可以还回去的地 不是不要钱的地,是不再被农耕占住的地
which is essential because we have an urgent need for all that free land.从句套从句:which 指前面要回土地这件事,because 再说明为什么非做不可。
which is essential because we have an urgent need for all that free land.we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, so that we can make space for returning wilderness.我们必须大幅减少用来耕种的面积,才能腾出地方,让荒野回来。 少占地不是口号,so that 把腾出来的地方直接交给荒野。
Whenever we choose a piece of meat, we too are unwittingly demanding a huge expanse of space.每当我们选一块肉,我们也在不知情地索要一大片土地。 we too 把吃肉的人和猛兽算进同一本账;unwittingly 拿掉动机,后果照样算。
The planet can't support billions of large meat-eaters.这个星球养不起几十亿大型食肉者。 前面的猎物账走到这里被短句盖住,can't 和 billions 直接对撞。
Despite its size, the Netherlands is now the world's second largest exporter of food.尽管国土不大,荷兰现在却是世界第二大食品出口国。 Despite 先把“小”承认完,出口第二才像翻盘,而不是资料卡片。
It's entirely possible for us to apply both low-tech and hi-tech solutions to produce much more food from much less land.我们完全可以把低技术和高技术一起用上,用少得多的地产出多得多的食物。 entirely possible 把怀疑按住,both 和 more/less 把两条路收成一句。
意思是「一谈到、说到某事」,用来把话题引向某个方面。台词开头用 when it comes to 引出土地,后面接着谈耕地和荒野。
用 unwittingly。台词说我们每选一块肉,也 unwittingly 在索取大片土地,强调不是存心,却造成了占地这个结果。
接要让出位置的对象。台词里是 make space for returning wilderness(给重新回来的荒野腾地方),对象可以是具体事物,也可以是抽象目标。
不是完全吃素。largely 表示大体上、以植物为主;台词说这种饮食只需要现在一半的土地,并没有说一点动物性食品都不能吃。
用 no room for。台词里说小农场 no room for expansion,就是没有继续扩大的空间;也可以说没有空间或余地做别的事。
