MBA英語(yǔ)閱讀欣賞：一條抹香鯨死亡，人們?cè)谒亲永锇l(fā)現(xiàn)了...

►A dead sperm whale that washed ashore in a national park in Indonesia had nearly 6kg (13 lbs) of plastic waste in its stomach， park officials say.

公園官員說(shuō)，在印度尼西亞國(guó)家公園沖上岸的、死去的抹香鯨胃里發(fā)現(xiàn)有近6公斤(13磅)的塑料垃圾。

Items found included 115 drinking cups， four plastic bottles， 25 plastic bags and two flip-flops.

這些垃圾包括115個(gè)飲水杯、4個(gè)塑料瓶、25個(gè)塑料袋和兩個(gè)人字拖。

The carcass of the 9.5m (31ft) mammal was found in waters near Kapota Island in the Wakatobi National Park late on Monday.

周一晚些時(shí)候，在 Wakatobi 國(guó)家公園的 Kapota 島附近海域，官員發(fā)現(xiàn)了一頭9.5米(31英尺)長(zhǎng)的哺乳動(dòng)物的尸體。

The discovery has caused consternation among environmentalists.

這一發(fā)現(xiàn)引起了環(huán)保主義者的恐慌。

"Although we have not been able to deduce the cause of death， the facts that we see are truly awful，" Dwi Suprapti， a marine species conservation co-ordinator at WWF Indonesia， was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

“雖然我們無(wú)法推斷死亡原因，但我們看到的事實(shí)確實(shí)非常糟糕，”美聯(lián)社報(bào)道援引印度尼西亞世界自然基金會(huì)海洋物種保護(hù)協(xié)調(diào)員 Dwi Suprapti 的話說(shuō)。

It was not possible to say whether the plastic had caused the whale’s death because of its advanced state of decay， she added.

她補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，很難說(shuō)塑料是否是鯨魚死亡的誘因，因?yàn)槭w被發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)已經(jīng)很腐爛了。

In a tweet， WWF Indonesia gave the breakdown of what was found inside the animal： "Hard plastic (19 pieces， 140g)， plastic bottles (4 pieces， 150g)， plastic bags (25 pieces， 260g)， flip-flops (2 pieces， 270g)， pieces of string (3.26kg) & plastic cups (115 pieces， 750g)."

在一條推文中，世界自然基金會(huì)印度尼西亞細(xì)數(shù)了這只鯨魚體內(nèi)的垃圾：“硬塑料(19件，140克)、塑料瓶(4件，150克)、塑料袋(25件，260克)、人字拖(2件，270克)、繩子(3.26千克)和塑料杯(115 碎片，750克)。”

The use of throwaway plastic is a particular problem in some South East Asian countries， including Indonesia.

在一些東南亞國(guó)家，包括印度尼西亞，一次性塑料的使用很嚴(yán)重。

Five Asian nations - China， Indonesia， the Philippines， Vietnam and Thailand - account for up to 60% of the plastic waste that ends up in oceans， according to a 2015 report by environmental campaigner Ocean Conservancy and the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment.

根據(jù)環(huán)境保護(hù)者海洋保護(hù)協(xié)會(huì)和麥肯錫商業(yè)與環(huán)境中心2015年的一份報(bào)告，五個(gè)亞洲國(guó)家(中國(guó)，印度尼西亞，菲律賓，越南和泰國(guó))生產(chǎn)了全球60%的海洋塑料廢物。
