Taking every tree
- Sometimes loggers remove not just some trees, but all of them.
- A whole hillside of forest becomes bare ground in days.
- This method is fast and cheap for the timber industry.
- But it leaves the land badly damaged. This is clearcutting.
拿走每一棵树
- 有时伐木工不只移除一些树,而是全部。
- 一整个山坡的森林在几天内变成裸露的地面。
- 这种方法对木材工业来说快速而便宜。
- 但它让土地严重受损。这就是皆伐。
What clearcutting is
- Clearcutting 皆伐 removes every tree in an area at once.
- It is the cheapest, fastest way to harvest timber.
- The short-term benefit is a quick, large profit from the wood.
- But the long-term costs to the land are severe.
什么是皆伐
- 皆伐(clearcutting)一次移除一个区域里的每棵树。
- 它是采伐木材最便宜、最快的方式。

- 但对土地的长期成本是严重的。

Clearcutting · 皆伐 removes every tree in an area — fast and cheap, but very damaging. · 皆伐移除一个区域里的每棵树——快速而便宜,但非常有破坏性。
Bare soil erodes
- With every tree gone, nothing holds the soil in place.
- Rain washes the exposed topsoil away — severe erosion 侵蚀.
- The eroded soil silts up rivers and can cause flooding.
- Without its fertile topsoil, the land struggles to recover.
裸露的土壤被侵蚀
- 每棵树都没了,没有东西把土壤固定在原地。
- 雨把暴露的表土冲走——严重的侵蚀(erosion)。
- 被侵蚀的土壤使河流淤积,可能造成洪水。
- 没有它肥沃的表土,土地就难以恢复。
A major harm of clearcutting is that the bare soil… · 皆伐的一个主要危害是裸露的土壤……
With no tree roots to hold it, the soil erodes fast, silting rivers and causing floods. · 没有树根来固定它,土壤快速侵蚀,使河流淤积并造成洪水。
Clearcutting destroys habitat, causing a loss of ____. · 皆伐破坏栖息地,导致____的丧失。
Removing a whole forest destroys the homes of countless species, lowering biodiversity. · 移除整片森林破坏无数物种的家,降低生物多样性。
Habitat and biodiversity lost
- A forest is home to countless species of plants and animals.
- Clearcutting destroys that whole habitat at once.
- Many species lose their food and shelter, lowering biodiversity.
- Gentler methods, like selective cutting, harm the forest far less.
栖息地和生物多样性丧失
- 一片森林是无数种植物和动物的家。
- 皆伐一次破坏那整个栖息地。
- 许多物种失去它们的食物和庇护,降低生物多样性。
- 更温和的方法,像择伐,对森林的伤害小得多。
Benefit or harm of clearcutting? · 皆伐的好处还是危害?
Sort each effect of clearcutting into a short-term benefit or a long-term harm. · 把皆伐的每个影响归入短期好处或长期危害。
Selective cutting, which removes only some trees, is gentler on the forest than clearcutting. · 择伐,只移除一些树,比皆伐对森林更温和。
Selective cutting leaves most trees standing, protecting soil, habitat, and the forest's recovery. · 择伐留下大多数树,保护土壤、栖息地和森林的恢复。
Select all · 所有 true statements about clearcutting. · 选出关于皆伐的所有正确说法。
Clearcutting has serious long-term downsides. The other three are correct. · 皆伐有严重的长期缺点。其余三条正确。
Clearcutting trades a short-term gain for long-term damage. The quick timber profit is real, but so are the lasting costs: eroded soil, silted rivers, floods, and lost biodiversity. Weigh both sides — the benefit is fast and visible, while the harm builds slowly.
皆伐用短期收益换取长期损害。快速的木材利润是真实的,但持久的成本也是:被侵蚀的土壤、淤积的河流、洪水和丧失的生物多样性。权衡两方面——好处快速且可见,而危害缓慢积累。
A cleared hillside after the rains:
- Loggers clearcut a steep, forested slope for its timber.
- The next heavy rains hit bare soil with no roots to hold it.
- The topsoil washes down into the river, muddying the water and flooding the valley below — the true cost of the quick harvest.
雨后一个被清空的山坡:
- 伐木工为了木材皆伐了一个陡峭的、有森林的山坡。
- 接下来的大雨打在没有根固定的裸露土壤上。
- 表土被冲进河里,弄浑了水,淹没了下面的山谷——快速采伐的真正成本。
Clearcutting removes every tree in an area, giving a fast, cheap timber harvest. But it causes severe soil erosion, silts rivers, worsens flooding, and destroys habitat, lowering biodiversity. It trades a short-term profit for long-term damage; selective cutting is a gentler alternative.
皆伐移除一个区域里的每棵树,给出快速、便宜的木材采伐。但它造成严重的土壤侵蚀、使河流淤积、加剧洪水,并破坏栖息地,降低生物多样性。它用短期利润换取长期损害;择伐是一个更温和的替代方式。
