环保人士称中国“灭绝的”江豚或许已回长江 [英国媒体]

Chinese conservationists believe they may have caught a rare glimpse of a freshwater dolphin that was declared functionally extinct a decade ago having graced the Yangtze river for 20 million years.

中国的环保人士宣称看到了罕见的淡水海豚，也就是在长江生存了两千万年，十年前被宣布灭绝的白鳍豚。

Scientists and environmentalists had appeared to abandon hope that China’s baiji or white dolphin could survive as a species after they failed to find a single animal during a fruitless six-week hunt along the 6300-km (3915-mile) waterway in 2006.

2006年，科学家和环保主义者沿着6300公里水路，历时六周，寻找白鳍豚无果后，几乎认为白鳍豚已灭绝。

But a team of amateur conservationists now claims it spotted the so-called “goddess of the Yangtze” last week on a stretch of Asia’s longest river near the city of Wuhu in Anhui province.

但是现在一群业余环保主义者声称上周在安徽省靠近芜湖的长江支流水域里看到了号称长江女神的白鳍豚。

“No other creature could jump out of the Yangtze like that” Song Qi the leader of that expedition told Sixth Tone a government-backed news website. “All the eyewitnesses – which include fishermen – felt certain that it was a baiji.”

“在长江，只有白鳍豚才会那样跳出江面”  探险队的领队宋其（音译）这样告诉澎湃新闻国际版第六音“所有的目击者，包括渔民在内，都觉得那肯定是白鳍豚”。

Song told the Guardian the unconfirmed sighting occurred during a seven-day search mission down the Yangtze that began in the city of Anqing on 30 September.

根据宋对卫报的陈述，这次未经证实的目击事件发生时，他们正执行一项搜索任务，他们是9月30号从安庆出发，沿长江顺流而下，任务为期七天。

It would be nice if true but has similarities to many "Loch Ness Monster" claims. The article highlights the other aspect of pollution and contamination of unfettered industrialisation.

如果是真的就太好了，但真的很像那么多“尼斯湖怪物”的例子。本文强调了污染和不受约束的工业化污染的另一方面。

Contanimation of land and water in China is as serious as air pollution one example is the eating lake and river fish over a period of time puts one in serious danger of heavy metal poisoning. I always avoided this as recommended by Chinese friends in the meducal field but many friends / colleagues I know has tested positive for heavy metal contamination and several with serious health complications.

中国的水土污染与空气污染一样严重，一个例子是，在一段时间内，吃湖里或河里的鱼会让人严重重金属中毒。我在中国学医的朋友都这样建议我。但据我所知很多朋友/同事重金属污染测试呈阳性和并且有几个还有严重的健康并发症。

Good news. Let′s see for how long. Probably we won′t fail this time and they will be extinguished. I wish to be wrong

好消息，让我们看有多长时间。也许这次我们真的会导致这种海豚灭绝。希望我是错的。

Poor beautiful things. Is causing the extinction the same as genocide? Nature is as nature does I suppose. Still very sad though.

好可怜的漂亮宝宝，是不是因为大规模的屠杀造成的灭绝？我认为自然就是自然，虽然非常残酷悲哀。

"Song said he hoped his team’s unconfirmed baiji sighting would prompt renewed efforts to save the species"
Unlikely unfortunately.

“宋称他希望自己团队未经证实的白鳍豚发现能促使人们付出新的努力以拯救这种物种”
不幸的是，他的希望可能要落空了。

More research needs to be done to establish if it is a Baiji this is / was a beautiful animal and if there are some in the river then they need to be protected. As for all the chemical firms polluting the Yangtze that will also endanger other animals the Chinese government needs to ensure this stops as a matter of urgency. Man has done much and continues to do much to damage the earth and the environment and has much to answer for.

需要做更多的调查确定那里是否还存在这样一个漂亮的物种，她们需要保护起来假如还有一些的话。当化工厂还持续污染长江的话同样危机到其他物种，中国政府需确保阻止这种事情发生作为紧急情况。人类已经做了以及继续做着破坏地球和环境的行为，人们对此负有很大的责任。

Great news thx! I live in Nepal and sighted one here almost 15 years ago. Jane Goodall is here now looking to see if any are still left... hope she also spots some.

真是好消息，我住尼泊尔，曾在15年前见过一只，现在Jane Goodall 也在这里找寻，看看还有没有幸存的。。。。。希望她也能找到

Excellent news.

好消息

My fear now is that residents will be back there to hunt it to total extinction because *its fin contains the secret of everlasting life* or *enables you to breathe underwater* or something.

但是 恐怕那些当地居民也许因为白鳍豚的鳍（鱼翅）能让他们长生不老，或者能在水下自由呼吸什么乱七八糟的理由去继续捕捞白鳍豚，直至它们一条不剩

In his book about the baiji’s plight Witness to Extinction biologist Samuel Turvey described how thousands of years of human activity had decimated the Yangtze basin a bio-diverse area once regarded as the Amazon of the East

生物学家塞缪尔·特维的在他的《见证灭绝》一书中描述了白鳍豚的生存窘境。在他的书中还讲述了千年以来的人类活动对扬子江流域生物多样性的灾难性破坏。而扬子江曾经被认作是东方的亚马逊。

1) Thousands of years of human activity decimated the Yangtze basin

千年以来的人类活动破坏了扬子江流域（生物多样性）

2) It was once regard Amazon of the East

   扬子江曾经被认作东方亚马逊。

Wut?

什么鬼？

Either it was un-decimated recently enough that someone who had known of the Brazilian Amazon's existence could call it that (maximum 500 years) or Ancient Chinese people discovered the Americans thousands of years ago.Or some journalist made it up.

这可能是因为长江近来被破坏的还不够严重，所以某个知道巴西亚马逊的人才做出这样的比较（最多500年）。又或者是因为古代中国人几千年前就发现了美洲。又或者是某个记者胡编乱造的。

I have heard Manchester referred to as the 'Venice of the North'. The Yangtse basin being regarded as the Amazon of the East isnot much more of a stretch.

我曾经听人把曼彻斯特比作“北方的威尼斯”。所以将长江盆地比作东方亚马逊相比之下也没有那么过分啦。

I like your pedantry but you failed to spot the mis-use of "decimated" which means the killing (or more loosely the destruction or removal) of one in ten particularly to make an example.

你这是在炫耀懂得多么，不过我喜欢（对上面那位列出名人的说的），
只是你没发现有个词用错了么，decimated意思是十个里面死一个，额，词义不那么狭隘时可表示毁坏 移除。（怎么我的词典告诉我是死大部分，这哥们让我晕了）

What an obscene amount of racist garbage there is in these comments!

评论区好多种族主义渣渣

ecommpro  Jonathan Shearer 1h ago
Yes badly-expressed comments. You don't need to be racist ever and especially not when there are well-supported facts about the cultural habits of certain peoples and their contribution to the demise of certain wild animals.
However it needs to be said these peoples are recognising their role in the situation and making efforts to turn things around.
"China has the highest seizure rates of illegally traded wildlife in Asia."

评论区好多话说得不太好。其实你没必要表现得像个种族主义者，尤其是明明有大量的事实依据能说明某些民族的文化习惯导致了某种野生动物的灭绝（所以没必要在种族上攻击，用事实一样能攻击。。。。）
不过这群人已经意识到他们该做什么了 正在努力扭转

Its badly and offensively phrased but I'm sorry many Chinese do not have a high regard for conservation or animal welfare. Added to that superstitious folk remedies involving bits of rare flora and fauna are still popular....and some very corrupt and stupid people like to "demonstrate" their power and influence by flaunting the law - and the easiest way to do that is slaughter rare and protected animals.

话可能不好听，有些冒犯，不过我真觉得大多中国人没什么保护动物，重视动物权利的意识，此外，很多人迷信偏方，认为一些珍惜动植物的某一部分具有奇效。。。还有一些非常腐败愚蠢的人想炫耀自己的权力和影响，证明自己哪怕犯法了也没什么事儿，最简单的方式就是屠杀珍惜保护动物。（可惜 这位讲的是实情。。。）
