翻譯四2.1.4-SCIENCE FOCUS

Scientists used anthropological evidence and scientific measurements to estimate the ages of certain artifacts found on Easter Island (also called Rapa Nui).They hypothesized that about 2900 years ago, Polynesians used double-hulled,seagoing canoes to colonize the island.The settlers probably found a paradise with fertile soil that supported dense and diverse forests and lush grasses.According to this hypothesis,the islanders thrived ,and their populations increased to as many as 15000 people.

Another project involved renovating much of the city’s low-income housing and building new low-income rental units. Chattanooga also built the nation’s largest freshwater aquarium, which became the centerpiece for downtown renewal. The city developed a 35-kilometer-long (22-mile-long) riverfront park along both banks of the Tennessee River running through downtown. It draws more than 1 million visitors per year. As property values and living conditions have improved, people and businesses have moved back downtown.

據環境專家萊斯特•布朗: 西方的經濟模式,化石燃料為基礎, 汽車為中心的,一次性的經濟是不會工作中。它也不會工作,印度的2031年預計將有人口甚至大於中國的,或為其他30億人在發展中國家國家誰也做夢的“美國夢。 ”
According to environmental expert Lester R. Brown:
The western economic model—the fossil fuel–based,
automobile-centered, throwaway economy—is not going
to work for China. Nor will it work for India, which by
2031 is projected to have a population even larger than
China’s, or for the other 3 billion people in developing
countries who are also dreaming the “American dream.”
