Save the Sharks!
拯救鲨鱼！
Many have heard of shark fin soup. But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
很多人听说过鱼翅羹。但是，每当你享用一碗鱼翅羹的时候，你是否意识到你正在杀死一整条鲨鱼？
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies.
当人们捕捉到鲨鱼时，他们切下鲨鱼的鳍，然后把鲨鱼扔回海里。这种做法不但残忍，而且对环境有害。失去鱼鳍的鲨鱼再也不能游泳，会慢慢地死去。
Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
鲨鱼在海洋生态系统食物链的顶端。如果它们的数量降得太低，会给所有海洋生物带来危险。很多人认为鲨鱼永远都不会濒临灭绝，因为它们是食物链中最强大的。但事实上，在这个行业，每年大约有七千万条鲨鱼被捕捉和贩卖。在过去的20至30年里，一些种类的鲨鱼的数量下降了百分之九十多。
Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about "finning". They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them?
世界各地的环境保护组织，如野生救援协会(美国)和世界自然基金会，都在教育公众有关"猎翅"(获取鱼鳍而猎杀鲨鱼)的行为。他们甚至已经请求政府立法来阻止鲨鱼鳍的销售。到目前为止，没有科学研究表明鲨鱼鳍对健康有益，那么为什么要吃它们呢？
