Voice 1: But Tanzania is not the only place experiencing the loss of glaciers.Glacial ice is melting all over the world.Scientists believe that this could be dangerous in the future.First, melting glaciers could lead to floods.For example, in the Himalayan Mountains the flood risk is severe.There are many glaciers here.If they melted the rivers would fill.And they would flood the small villages surrounding the mountains.

声音1:但坦桑尼亚并不是唯一一个经历冰川流失的地方。全世界的冰川都在融化。科学家们认为,这在未来可能是危险的。首先,冰川融化可能导致洪水。例如,在喜马拉雅山脉,发生洪水的风险很高。这里有许多冰川。如果它们融化,河流就会被填满。它们会淹没群山周围的小村庄。

Voice 2: Second, glacial melt may cause water shortages for millions of people.Glaciers often provide the only supply of water for people during dry seasons.Many people in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia use water from glaciers all year.What will they do if this supply disappears? Glaciers provide water to one-third of the world’s population.

声音2:第二,冰川融化可能导致数百万人缺水。在旱季,冰川通常是人们唯一的水源。厄瓜多尔、秘鲁和玻利维亚的许多人全年都使用冰川的水。如果这些供应消失了,他们会怎么做? 冰川为世界三分之一的人口提供水。

Voice 1: Third, melting glaciers will cause sea levels to rise.This will threaten the people who live near the sea.It could also destroy sea animals' homes.This danger especially threatens small island nations.For example Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands are already starting to lose land.Water covers their low-lands.And salt from the sea is starting to sink into their fresh water supplies.Their fresh water supply is low.

声音1:第三,冰川融化会导致海平面上升。这将威胁到居住在海边的人们。它还可能会摧毁海洋动物的家园。这种危险尤其威胁着小岛屿国家。例如,图瓦卢和所罗门群岛已经开始失去土地。水覆盖了他们的低地。海水中的盐开始渗入他们的淡水供应中。他们的淡水供应不足。

Voice 2: Climate change is affecting many parts of our world.We can find signs in the mountains, deep in the waters, in the behaviour of animals, and in the lives of people.In the next few weeks please listen for more programs about the early signs of climate change.Let them remind you that the earth is ours to care for.

声音2:气候变化正在影响我们世界的许多地方。我们可以在山中、在深水中、在动物的行为中和在人类的生活中发现迹象。在接下来的几周里,请收听更多关于气候变化早期迹象的节目。让他们提醒你,地球是我们的,需要我们来爱护。

Voice 5: "Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy."

声音5:“愿海和其中所充满的澎湃;世界和住在其间的也要发声。愿大水拍手,愿诸山在耶和华面前一同欢呼。”
