人在自然界
|亚历山大·斯伯金
Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried
away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations
and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is
unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem
of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.
人类生活在大自然的王国里。他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食 物，无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。我们与大自然血肉相连，离开大自然，我们将无法生存。
Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and
interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form
of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected
with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.

The Normandy Landings
The largest and most ambitious mili-tary expedition in
history was the inva-sion of Normandy in northern France by
British, American and Canadian forces that took place in the
summer of 1944. Even nature played a role.
lt took more than a year for military planners to orchestrate
every movement of troops, artillery, ships and aircraft and to set
everything in place for the move that was to open up a second
front in Europe. This would liberate France and open the way for
the final assault on Ger-many itself.
Everything was controlled; right down to the placement of
military decoys across the English Channel to fool the Germans
into thinking the attack would come from Britain's closest point
to France at Pas de Calais3 rather than in Normandy as planned.
