下面是英語六級翻譯素材:社會話題篇。環(huán)境保護(hù)，已是老生常談的事情了，但我們真心要好好愛護(hù)這個(gè)唯一的家園-->地球。希望我們要牢記在心，用行動去證明，而不只是說說而已，讓我們努力地把這個(gè)社會建設(shè)得更加美好~

環(huán)境保護(hù)

過去10年，海平面升高和森林看法的速度都是前所未有的;生態(tài)惡化、物種滅絕、臭氧層被破壞、溫室效應(yīng)、酸雨等一系列環(huán)境問題已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重影響到人類的生存環(huán)境。// 環(huán)境惡化造成的問題之一就是缺水。目前全世界40%以上的人口，即20 多億人，面臨缺水問題。據(jù)預(yù)測，未來25 年全球人口將有60 億增長到80 億，環(huán)境保護(hù)面臨更大的壓力。// 中國作為一個(gè)發(fā)展中國家，面臨著發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)和保護(hù)環(huán)境的雙重任務(wù)。從國情出發(fā)，中國在全面推進(jìn)現(xiàn)代化的過程中，將環(huán)境保護(hù)視為一項(xiàng)基本國策。// 眾所周知，對生態(tài)環(huán)境和生物多樣性的保護(hù)是環(huán)保工作的重點(diǎn)。我國野生動植物物種豐富，僅脊椎動物就有6000 多種左右，高等植物3 萬多種。//

Sea level rose and forest were destroyed at an unprecedented rate during the last decade. A series of environmental problems such s the deterioration of ecosystem, the extinction of bio-species,damage to the ozone layer, the green-house effect, acid rain, have posed a serious threat to human living conditions.// Environmental crisis leads to one of the serious problems, namely, water shortage. Presently, more than 40% of the world's population, more than 2 billion people, now face water shortage. It is predicted hat with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion over the next 25 years, more pressure on environmental protection stress is expected.// As a developing country, china is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.Proceeding from its national conditions, china has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic state policies.// It is known to all that protection of the ecological environment and biodiversity is the focal point of environmental protection work. China is rich in wildlife species. There are about 6,000 vertebrates alone and 30,000species of higher plants.//

地球村

我贊同許多東亞學(xué)者的觀點(diǎn)，東方文明可以醫(yī)治盛行于西方世界的一些頑疾。西方世界個(gè)人自由主義泛濫導(dǎo)致了極端個(gè)人主義、性關(guān)系混亂以及過度暴力行為，對此我們不能視而不見。// 相反，東方社會的自我約束力，集體責(zé)任感以及溫厚儒雅的傳統(tǒng)倒可以消除西方社會的許多惡疾。// 在這個(gè)信息時(shí)代，世界已縮小成一個(gè)地球村。這個(gè)地球村里，不再有什么涇渭分明的東方世界和西方世界，我們是生活在同一個(gè)社區(qū)里的鄰里。// 因此，我們彼此之間無須沖突。我們之間的關(guān)系應(yīng)該是一種友好合作，平等互補(bǔ)的關(guān)系。我們應(yīng)該相互理解，相互學(xué)習(xí)，和睦共處。

I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some of the prevailing ,stubborn Western ills. We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual freedom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast,self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tradition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shrunk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more, but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore,we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other. Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.

兒童權(quán)益

為了切實(shí)保護(hù)兒童權(quán)益，中國的立法、司法、政府各有關(guān)部門以及社會團(tuán)體都建立了相應(yīng)的機(jī)制，以監(jiān)督、實(shí)施和促進(jìn)保護(hù)兒童事業(yè)的健康發(fā)展。// 中國政府動員社會采取多種方式關(guān)心和幫助殘疾兒童的成長，大力弘揚(yáng)殘疾兒童自強(qiáng)不息的精神，倡導(dǎo)團(tuán)結(jié)、友愛、互助的道德風(fēng)尚。// 中國民族素有"攜幼"，"愛幼"的傳統(tǒng)美德，中國古語"有無有以及人之幼"了流傳至今。// 我們要在全社會倡導(dǎo)樹立"愛護(hù)兒童、教育兒童、為兒童做表率、為兒童辦實(shí)事"的公民意識，并努力為兒童事業(yè)的發(fā)展創(chuàng)造良好的社會條件。//

To effectively protect children's rights and interests, china's legislation, judicial and government departments concerned as well as non-governmental organizations have set up corresponding mechanisms to supervise, facilitate and promote the healthy development of the work on protecting children.// The Chinese government has done a great deal to mobilize various circles in society to care for, in various manners , the development of disabled children, to greatly encourage the spirit of unceasing self-improvement among physically disadvantaged children and to advocate the valued social virtues of unity, friendship and mutual aid.// The Chinese nation has long cultivated the traditional virtues of "bring up the young" and caring for the young". An old Chinese saying that "love our children and love others'children in the same manner" is still very popular.// We should urge the society at large to raise the awareness of importance of "protecting and educating children, and setting a good example and doing practical thing for children". We will spare no efforts to create favorable social conditions for the progress of child development programs.//

吸煙危害

吸煙之危害，可謂大矣，其嚴(yán)重性是不能低估的。吸煙污染空氣，損害健康，使肺癌發(fā)病率大大增加。為了使各國人民關(guān)注煙草的盛行及預(yù)防吸煙導(dǎo)致的疾病和死亡，世界衛(wèi)生組織已將每年的5月31日定為"世界無煙日"。癮君子們說，一天飯不吃可以，一個(gè)時(shí)辰不抽煙就難捱了，不能戒。只要真正意識到吸煙有百害而無一利，于人于己都是一種禍害，就有可能下決心擺脫煙草的誘惑。戒煙貴在堅(jiān)持，堅(jiān)持下去就是收獲?！　?/p>

Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated. Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer. To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO (World Health Organization) has defined May 31stin every year as World No-Tobacco Day. The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours. However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco. To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists,he'll be rewarded.
