书中又说：
Her book also states,
“与此同时，在牧场户主及谷物饲料农民的扩展下，大幅度地把亚马逊热带雨林铲夷为喂养牲畜的谷物饲料土地。”
“At the same time, the increase in ranchers and feed farmers causes huge tracks of Amazon Rain Forests to be wiped out for land to produce animal feed grain.”
那就是说，人类为了大量饲养供人类食用的动物，扩张工厂式的畜牧业及发展饲料用的农地，一方面毫无忌惮的制造甲烷、二 氧化碳等温室气体，排放到地球表面；
This is to say, that in order for us to massively feed the animals that we eat, we need to expand the animal farm industry and develop their feed grain farmland. On the one hand we unscrupulously produce methane emissions, CO2, and on the other hand discharge greenhouse emissions into the earth”s atmosphere.
另一方面又毫不留情地把本来是地球肺部 -- 把二氧化碳吸入，呼出氧气的热带雨林 -- 狠狠割切，这就无怪乎全球变暖，温室效应的情况越来越严重，造成了当今气候异常变迁，地球生态濒临崩溃的危机了！
We also mercilessly and callously cut down what was originally the earth”s lungs – the tropical rain forests that take in CO2 and breathe out oxygen. No wonder that the entire planet is becoming warmer, and the greenhouse effect is becoming more and more serious, bringing about today”s erratic weather and the crisis of the collapse of the earth”s eco-endangered life forms.
在二○○七年，与美国前副总统戈尔平分诺贝尔和平奖的联合国气候变迁小组(UN IPCC)的获奖报告就是动员二千五百位科学家，经过六年的研究，发现了人类的生活型态是造成全球暖化的主因。
It was discovered by the United Nations Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC)”s award-winning report, which mobilized 2500 scientists to do six years of research, that human lifestyle is the main cause of global warming. In 2007, the panel shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.
该气候变迁小组主席帕乔理博士说：
Chairman of the Climate Change Committee, Dr. Pachouri said:
“请尽量少吃肉，肉类产生非常多的温室效应气体。
"Please eat as little meat as possible; meat products produce a great deal of greenhouse gases.
“多骑单车或走路，不要动不动到那里都开车。”
"Bicycle or walk more, and do not just drive everywhere at the drop of a hat."
“只买你所需要的，不要看到什么东西都买。”
"Only buy what you need, and do not buy everything you see."
帕乔理博士所提出的三种生活型态的改变：
The three lifestyle changes that Dr. Pachouri proposed:
素食、节能、简朴都很有建设性，而其中素食一项，更是中国大乘佛教一直提倡的，从慈悲的角度来看，素食是积极的不杀生(佛教基本五戒的第一戒)，爱护众生；
Vegetarianism, saving energy, living simply are all very constructive, of which vegetarianism has always been advocated by Chinese Mahayana Buddhism. Looking at it from the perspective of compassion, vegetarianism is the ardent non-killing of sentient beings (the first of the five basic Buddhist Precepts), the love and protection of sentient beings;
从智慧的角度来看，素食是顺应自然的法则，不作伤害物命的恶行，才可以得到化戾气为祥和的善果。
Looking at it from a wise point of view, vegetarianism is in line with natural law; to not commit the evil act of harming living things is the only way we can achieve the positive effects of transforming hostility into harmony.
中欧国家索芬尼亚的国家主席德诺维斯基博士早在十五年前已经公开支持全民素食，他说：
The State President of the Central European country of Slovenia, Dr. Janez Drnovsek, as early as fifteen years ago openly supported everyone being vegetarian, he said,
“违反自然，人类能耐多久不受恶果的惩罚？”(注三)
“How long can humankind”s challenge to nature go unpunished
(3)”
地球暖化，冰山溶解，海啸地震肆虐、水灾旱灾接踵而至…，大地母亲已经在咆哮了，我们应赶快放下口味感觉之欲，改变肉食的习惯，选择素食的生活型态，尽一己之力，改变全球暖化的危机！
The havoc of global warming - melting glaciers, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods and drought following one after another are hard at heel ... the earth mother is already screaming. We should quickly let go of our attachment to flavor and change our meat eating habits and choose a vegetarian lifestyle. With all our might we should end this global warming crisis!
(二)新孳生的传染病威胁
2．The Threat of Emerging Infectious Diseases
所谓新孳生的传染病包括了一九八一年冒起的爱滋病，二○○三年在亚洲出现的非典，二十世纪初在欧美出现的疯牛症，二○○三年爆发的猪链球菌病疫，与及目前受到严重关注的禽流感，特别是目前已演变到禽鸟传染人类的H5N1变型禽流感。
The new breed of emerging infectious diseases including AIDS which surf…
