Interpret the following passage from English into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passage only once. Now let’s begin.
下面你将听到一段有关人类体型发展与粮食安全之间关系的讲话。
Everyone knows that obesity is a major health crisis in the United States and many other countries, but humans aren’t just getting fatter, we’re also getting bigger overall. Humans are getting larger and larger and the average person is now significantly taller than the averages of decades past. On top of that, we eat more and that’s bad news for planet Earth.
A new study conducted by researchers with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology reveals that the nutritional demands for the human race are steadily climbing and not just because there’s more of us. Larger people need to eat more and as humans get larger, that’s going to put additional strain on food supplies.
The researchers studied the effects of two phenomena. One is that people on average have become taller and heavier. The second is that the average population is getting older. According to the data, humans are now around one-and-a-half percent taller overall than we were in 1975, as well as 14 percent heavier. Because the human population is living longer, the average age is also over six percent higher than it was in 1975.
Crunching the numbers, the scientists figure that this means the average person needs around six percent more food energy than they did back then. Over that same time frame, overall human food consumption spiked by a whopping 129 percent, with approximately 116 percent of that growth coming from population increases and the other 15 percent stemming from humans being larger on average. Humans are already struggling with maintaining food supplies in many areas of the world, especially developing countries, and those issues are only going to get worse as each generation consumes more and more.
According to the UN report The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018, new evidence continues to signal that the number of hungry people in the world is growing, reaching 821 million in 2017, or one in every nine people. Limited progress is also being made in addressing the multiple forms of malnutrition, ranging from child stunting to adult obesity, putting the health of hundreds of millions of people at risk.
Hunger has been on the rise over the past three years, returning to levels from a decade ago. This reversal in progress sends a clear warning that more must be done and urgently if the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger is to be achieved by 2030.
选项
答案
大家都知道,在美国和许多其他国家,肥胖是一个主要的健康危机。其实,人类不仅越来越胖,块头也越来越大了。人类的个头越来越高,现在,普通人的身高显著高于过去几十年,而且,饭量增加对地球来说可不是好消息。 挪威科技大学最近的一项研究表明,人类营养需求正在稳步攀升,而人口增加只是其中一个原因。体型更大,吃得更多;随着人类体型不断增大,粮食供应也会承受更大压力。 研究人员表示:“我们分析了两种现象的影响,一是人的平均身高和体重都在增加;二是人口老龄化。”数据显示,人类身高比1975年增加约1.5%,体重增加1 4%。现在的人们也更长寿,平均寿命比1975年高6%以上。 科学家们在分析数据时看到,这就意味着现在人需要的平均热量比1975年高6%左右。同一时期,人类的食物总消耗量激增129%,其中约116%归因于人口增加,另15%归因于人类的平均身高体重增加。世界许多地区已经很难保障粮食供应,发展中国家尤为如此。随着每一代人食物消耗量不断增加,这个问题只会越来越严重。 联合国发布的《2018年世界粮食安全和营养状况》报告称,不断有新的证据表明,全球饥饿人数正在上涨,2017年达到8.21亿人,即每九人中就有一人在挨饿。在应对儿童发育迟缓和成人肥胖等多重营养不良问题方面,取得的进展也很有限,这使得数亿人口面临健康风险。 饥饿人数在过去三年持续上升,已重回十年前的水平。这种倒退向我们发出了明确的警告,如果要在2030年前实现“零饥饿”这一可持续发展目标,我们必须紧急开展更多的工作。
