英语翻译
more than 40 percent of the earth‘s land is desert and
\x09desert-like.About 628 million people--one out of seven--
\x09live in these dry regions.In the past,they have managed to
\x09survive,but in difficulty.Now,largely through problems
\x09caused by modern life,our existence is threatened by the
\x09slow,steady spread of the earth’s deserts.
\x09Many countries first became concerned in 1970s after
\x09a terrible drought and famine destroyed Africa‘s Sahel,
\x09the fragile desert along the south edge of the Sahara.
\x09Thousands of people died even though there was a worldwide
\x09effort to send food and medicine to the starved people.
地球40%以上的土地是沙漠以及半沙漠,大约6.28亿人口(约占地球总人口的1/7)生活在这些干旱的地区,他们在过去设法生存了下来,但现在却变得很困难.由现代化生活引发的各种问题,使得人类的生存日益受到虽然缓慢却不断扩大沙漠化的威胁.20世纪70年代,脆弱的撒哈拉大沙漠以南发生了一场可怕的干旱和饥荒灾难,大大地破坏了非洲的荒漠草原,从那时起许多国家首次开始关注这个问题.尽管全世界各国努力向那里的饥民提供食物和药品,还是有成千上万的人死于那场灾难.
