　　范文：

　　This is a very interesting cartoon, in which two sharks are celebrating the good news that thanks to global warming, the sea water will drown a nearby island in five years where a man is fishing. Hence, the sharks are eager to enjoy a good meal of human flesh.

　　Though exaggerate a little, the cartoon illuminates a serious fact that the unusually rapid speed of sea-level rise, caused by global warming, is devouring our lands, and for that matter, our lives. A recent report also supported this view by quoting scientists' forecast that island countries like Japan and Indonesia, as well as the numerous islands on the Pacific Ocean, might disappear from our maps forever. The current greenhouse effect remains out of control. We are sad to perceive that the threat fail to arouse enough attention, which is best exemplified by the frustration that Kyoto Protocol confronts.

　　In my opinion, it is high time for the whole world to form cooperation fighting global warming, because not a single government nor person is exempt from its harm. A series of down-to-earth measures need to be urgently implemented to control the output of carbon dioxide that greatly contributes to global warming.

　　譯文：

　　這是一幅十分有趣的漫畫，其中兩只鯊魚在慶賀一個(gè)好消息，因?yàn)槿�球變暖，海水五年后就�?huì)淹沒附近的一個(gè)小島，島上有一個(gè)人在釣魚。因此，鯊魚們迫不及待地想吃一餐美味的人肉大餐。

　　盡管這幅漫畫有一些夸張，但是它卻指出了一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的事實(shí)，那就是由于全球變暖導(dǎo)致的海平面反常地迅速上升，海水逐漸吞噬人們生存的土地，威脅到我們的生命。在最近的一份報(bào)告中，科學(xué)家預(yù)測(cè)如果溫室效應(yīng)繼續(xù)處于失控狀態(tài)的話，那么日本、印度尼西亞等島國(guó)和其他一些太平洋上的小島都將從我們的地圖上消失。可是，令我們心寒的是這個(gè)威脅還沒有引起足夠的重視，最好的一個(gè)例證就是《東京協(xié)定》一直無(wú)法順利實(shí)施。

　　因此，我認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)到了全世界聯(lián)合起來(lái)共同抗擊全球變暖的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻，因?yàn)闆]有任何一個(gè)政府和個(gè)人能夠免受其影響。我們需要盡快采取一些實(shí)實(shí)在在的措施，以期減少二氧化碳的排放，控制全球變暖的趨勢(shì)。
