“I think mining will be the future, but this is a difficult phase,” said Jens B. Frederiksen, Greenland’s housing and infrastructure minister and a deputy premier. “It’s a plan that not everyone wants. It’s about traditions, the freedom of a boat, family professions.”

　　“我認(rèn)為采礦就是我們的未來，不過現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)艱難的階段，”格陵蘭住房與基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施部長(zhǎng)、副總理延斯•B•佛雷德利克森(Jens B. Frederiksen)說，“不是每個(gè)人都贊同該計(jì)劃，因?yàn)樗鼤?huì)影響當(dāng)?shù)氐膫鹘y(tǒng)、駕船的自由以及代代相傳的職業(yè)�！�

　　The Arctic is warming even faster than other parts of the planet, and the rapidly melting ice is causing alarm among scientists about sea-level rise. In northeastern Greenland, average yearly temperature have risen 4.5 degrees in the past 15 years, and scientists predict the area could warm by 14 to 21 degrees by the end of the century.

　　北極地區(qū)的氣溫升幅為全球最快，科學(xué)家們發(fā)出警告，提醒人們關(guān)注冰川迅速融化所造成的海平面上升。過去15年中，格陵蘭島東北部的年均氣溫上升了4.5度。而科學(xué)家預(yù)測(cè)，到本世紀(jì)末，該地區(qū)氣溫會(huì)升高14至21度。

　　Already, winter pack ice that covers the fjords is no longer stable enough for dog sledding and snowmobile traffic in many areas. Winter fishing, essential to feeding families, is becoming hazardous or impossible.

　　在很多地區(qū)，冬季覆蓋在峽灣里的浮冰已經(jīng)不夠穩(wěn)固，狗拉雪橇和摩托雪橇無法通行。冬季捕魚是很多家庭獲取食物的重要手段，但現(xiàn)在捕魚非常危險(xiǎn)，甚至都已無法捕魚。

　　It has long been known that Greenland sat upon vast mineral lodes, and the Danish government has mapped them intermittently for decades. Niels Bohr, Denmark’s Nobel Prize-winning nuclear physicist and a member of the Manhattan Project, visited Narsaq in 1957 because of its uranium deposits.

　　格陵蘭島地下蘊(yùn)藏著巨大的礦藏這一點(diǎn)久為人知。幾十年來，丹麥政府已經(jīng)斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地繪制了這些礦藏的分布圖。參與過曼哈頓計(jì)劃(Manhattan Project)的丹麥核物理學(xué)家、諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得主尼爾斯•玻爾(Niels Bohr)在1957年造訪納薩克正是因?yàn)檫@里的鈾礦藏。

　　But previous attempts at mining mostly failed, proving too expensive in the inclement conditions. Now, warming has altered the equation.

　　然而，之前的開采嘗試幾乎都以失敗告終。事實(shí)證明，在嚴(yán)酷的環(huán)境下采礦成本過于高昂。如今，氣候變暖改變了這種情況。
