缺了就不成立的那一块
Forests are a fundamental component of our planet's recovery.David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet · 2020 — 第 17 / 17 章 · 3'22" · B2
开场先说森林是地球恢复的根本一环,紧接着 locking away(封存起来)把树说成锁碳的技术,再一句 halt deforestation(立即停止毁林)要求到处刹住砍伐。想谈环保、写倡议,或者听懂纪录片里的硬话,这两句都直接能用。
话从森林是地球恢复的根本一环讲起:树木把碳 locking away(封存起来),森林越有野性、越多样,吸碳越有效。接着一句 halt deforestation(立即停止毁林)把要求说死,再以哥斯达黎加复林为例,把可能性抬到 on a global scale(放到全世界的尺度)。想谈环保、看懂纪录片里的主张,或在讨论里把话说得具体,这三句在演讲、写作和日常表达里都能直接用。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
locking awayhalt deforestationoffering grantson a global scale
本章短语
封存起来,不让外泄store something so it cannot leak out
有人刚说森林是地球恢复的基本部分,下一句就用 locking away 把吸碳说成往库里锁。语气是下判断,不是商量。
The clinic keeps locking away leftover vaccines until the next drive.诊所把剩余疫苗封存起来,等到下一轮再用。
立即停止毁林
出钱让人把事做成
放到全世界的尺度
被大量灌进某处
压过其余的总原则
25 句台词里标了 26 处
缺了就不成立的那一块
Forests are a fundamental component of our planet's recovery.封存起来,不让外泄
有人刚说森林是地球恢复的基本部分,下一句就用 locking away 把吸碳说成往库里锁。语气是下判断,不是商量。
They are the best technology nature has for locking away carbon.许多物种聚在这里
And they are centers of biodiversity.And 很轻,直接滑向 they
And they are centers of biodiversity.相关比较:前半越野生越多样,后半就越能吸碳,两边一起升降。
The wilder and more diverse forests are, the more effective they are at absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.立即停止毁林
各地还在砍的时候,有人用 halt deforestation 下了死命令,后半才限制油棕和大豆该种在哪。语气不容商量。
We must immediately halt deforestation everywhere...must 尾音 t 轻轻带过即可
We must immediately halt deforestation everywhere...说到底,你别忽略这点 不是时间上的在一切之后
After all, there's plenty of it.超过四分之三那么多
A century ago, more than three quarters of Costa Rica was covered with forest.把原有的量削到只剩
By the 1980s, uncontrolled logging had reduced this to just one quarter.没人约束的伐木 logging 在这里是伐木,不是系统日志
By the 1980s, uncontrolled logging had reduced this to just one quarter.出钱让人把事做成
讲到哥斯达黎加终于动手,有人用 offering grants 交代办法:钱给地主,去补种当地的树。像在举一个做成了的例子。
The government decided to act, offering grants to land owners to replant native trees.分词短语:offering 短语贴在决定后面,说明行动就是发补助。
The government decided to act, offering grants to land owners to replant native trees.放到全世界的尺度
一国林地回到一半之后,有人用 on a global scale 把听众拉到全世界。语气是请你先设想,数字还在后面。
Just imagine if we achieve this on a global scale.数量可以达到这么多
The return of the trees would absorb as much as two thirds of the carbon emissions that have been pumped into the atmosphere by our activities to date.被大量灌进某处
想象树木在全球长回来时,有人用 pumped into 形容碳怎样进了大气。不是冷静地说排出,像被不停打进去。
The return of the trees would absorb as much as two thirds of the carbon emissions that have been pumped into the atmosphere by our activities to date.从以前一直算到现在 不是去约会,也不是某一个截止日期
The return of the trees would absorb as much as two thirds of the carbon emissions that have been pumped into the atmosphere by our activities to date.被动定语从句:that 后是完成被动,修饰排放,指碳早已被灌进大气。
The return of the trees would absorb as much as two thirds of the carbon emissions that have been pumped into the atmosphere by our activities to date.压过其余的总原则
具体办法讲完,有人用 overriding principle 收成一条总规矩,前面的措施都得让路。语气放慢,像要揭牌。
With all these things, there is one overriding principle.最能站在你这边的力量 盟友不是某个人,而是自然
Nature is our biggest ally and our greatest inspiration.is 的尾音滑进 our,中间别断开
Nature is our biggest ally and our greatest inspiration.把不知道的答案想通
上一句要人照自然的做法做,这一句用 worked out 把生命秘诀说成早已解开的题。语气是佩服,不是讲义。
It worked out the secret of life long ago.把这个事实接住并照着做 不是用手臂拥抱,是采纳这个现实
We can solve the problems we now face by embracing this reality.照看好,不让它变糟
If we take care of nature,别再只做增长这一件事 simply 是仅仅,不是简单地长大
It's now time for our species to stop simply growing.重音放在 simply,growing 别抢光。
It's now time for our species to stop simply growing.They are the best technology nature has for locking away carbon.它们是大自然用来锁住碳的最好技术。 把森林比作技术,储碳从口号变成可以比较的办法。
The wilder and more diverse forests are, the more effective they are at absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.森林越野生、越多样,从大气中吸碳就越有效。 两个越把野生和吸碳绑成正比,结论听得像判断。
Nature is our biggest ally and our greatest inspiration.自然是我们最大的盟友,也是我们最大的灵感。 盟友和灵感并列,一句里同时给了立场和方向。
It worked out the secret of life long ago.它很早以前就把生命的秘诀想通了。 worked out 像解完一道题,演化变成早已算完的答案。
nature will take care of us.自然会照顾我们。 主语从人换成自然,短承诺因此有了分量。
It's now time for our species to stop simply growing.现在是我们这个物种停止一味增长的时候了。 simply 不是简单地,而是仅仅在变大,责备藏在副词里。
意思是「放到全世界的尺度」,不是单指规模大。台词先讲哥斯达黎加复林,再让人想象全世界都做到。
说 simply growing(一味地只顾着变大)。台词里整个人类被点名,要停的正是这种只顾增长。
因为句子里有「必须立刻」和「到处」两层限定;halt 本身也像踩刹车,表示立即停止毁林,不是温和建议。
不是。grant 指拨出去的一笔补助;台词说给拥有土地的人发钱,让他们补种原生树木。
released 只是放出去;pumped into 像用泵往里灌,强调人类活动把大量碳持续送进大气,分量更重。
它表示把东西收好封存,不让外泄;台词用它说森林锁住碳,日常也能说把药品或重要文件锁起来收好。
