一分鐘音頻，有趣又省時(shí)：

I owe this 60-Second Earth gig to Steve Jobs. Without the iPod there's no podcast. But our collective lust for iPod-like gadgets has some outsized impacts on the planet.
我應(yīng)該為史蒂夫?喬布斯做一期節(jié)目，沒(méi)有ipod就沒(méi)有播客，我們都渴望擁有像ipod那樣的小玩意兒，但是這種渴望給地球帶來(lái)的影響，超乎想象。?

Give Jobs credit. When pushed by environmentalists, he unveiled less toxic products, eliminating nasties like arsenic and mercury. But, ultimately, each of these devices relies on substances such as coltan from warlord-ravaged Congo or illegally mined rare earths from China.?
喬布斯的努力是值得肯定的，環(huán)保人士施壓之后，喬布斯發(fā)布的產(chǎn)品有毒物質(zhì)變少，去掉了那些“骯臟”的成分，比如砷和水銀，可是剩下的物質(zhì)仍然“見(jiàn)不得光”，例如，蘋(píng)果曾經(jīng)從軍閥蹂躪下的剛果（金）進(jìn)口鈳鉭鐵礦，從中國(guó)非法開(kāi)采窩點(diǎn)進(jìn)口稀土礦。?

Then there's all the energy used to let you listen to me. The vast server farms that allow digital storage of music, photos and everything else are the fastest growing users of electricity, mostly made from burning coal.?
另外，有一種能量讓大家有機(jī)會(huì)收聽(tīng)我的節(jié)目，那就是——“服務(wù)器農(nóng)場(chǎng)”?！皩拸V”的 “服務(wù)器農(nóng)場(chǎng)”（將海量的服務(wù)器集成到一起，形成類(lèi)似大規(guī)模農(nóng)場(chǎng)一樣的規(guī)模，里面有無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的數(shù)據(jù)——譯者注）是增長(zhǎng)速度最快的電力用戶(hù)，用來(lái)儲(chǔ)存數(shù)碼音樂(lè)、照片等等，但大多數(shù)都是由燃煤制成。?

Finally, there's the planned obsolescence. An original iPod would be laughably inadequate today. And Apple is better than most at whipping up consumer frenzy with its product launches. That means waste, and old gadgets consigned to places like Nigeria where children are poisoned reclaiming some of the valuable elements inside.?
最后一個(gè)我要說(shuō)的就是計(jì)劃報(bào)廢?？尚Φ氖牵恳淮鷌pod總有各自的缺陷，這使得蘋(píng)果非常善于利用新產(chǎn)品掀起一股購(gòu)買(mǎi)狂潮，先前的產(chǎn)品就成了明日黃花，這些報(bào)廢品被運(yùn)往尼日利亞這樣的地方，當(dāng)?shù)氐暮⒆右蚧厥掌渲幸恍┲匾卸尽?

Fortunately, Apple has one of the better recycling programs. Hopefully Jobs’s most important legacy will be that the products he created won't have too big of an impact at the end of their lives on either people or the planet.?
不過(guò)令人慶幸的是，蘋(píng)果擁有優(yōu)良的再循環(huán)程序，喬布斯創(chuàng)造的每一代產(chǎn)品在壽命將盡之時(shí)，都不會(huì)對(duì)地球或人類(lèi)造成太大沖擊，希望這能成為喬布斯留給后人的最大遺產(chǎn)。 ?
