| 根據聯合國的報告和科學的證據，就全球暖化而言，甲烷的有害性比二氧化碳強21倍，氧化亞氮比二氧化碳約強300倍。 |
According to United Nation's report and science evidence, methane is 21 times more harmful than carbon dioxide, while nitrous oxide is 300 times stronger than carbon dioxide. |
| 牲畜是產生甲烷的首要肇因，氧化亞氮也是牲畜產生的副產品。 |
Cattle are the main reason of methane production, nitrous oxide too, is a sub-product of cattle. |
| 食用肉類需要飼養許多家畜動物，而家畜會排放出甲烷，例如，一頭牛一天最高可製造出60公升的甲烷。 |
It is compulsory to rear a large number of domestic animals to produce edible meat, but they discharge methane. For example, a cow can produce up to 60 litres of methane a day. |
| 大氣中的甲烷約有25%由畜牧業飼養之家畜排放。 |
Around 25% of the methane in the atmosphere is caused by domestic animal husbandry. |
| 如果能控制甲烷的主要來源，就可調節氣候，預防水災，也是對付土壤流失之最佳方法。 |
If the main source of methane is controllable, then it is possible to regulate the climate, prevent floods, and this is also the best solution to prevent soil erosion. |
| 美國超過半數以上之用水，直接用來灌溉牧场以飼養牲畜，還有大量的水被用來冲洗牲畜的栏茏。 |
In America, more than half of used water is to directly irrigate a ranch for domestic animal husbandry, there is also a huge amount of water is used to wash the cattle's pasture. |
| 生產一磅的肉平均会消耗掉相当于一個普通家庭一個月的用水量。 |
It is equivalent to a family's monthly water usage to produce a pound of meat. |
| 生产一单位肉类食物所用的水，要远高于生产同一单位植物類食物所用的水。 |
Water being used to produce a unit of meat, is far higher than the water used to produce plant food. |
| 這樣的用水會造成嚴重的經濟和生態方面的影響。 |
This pattern of water usage will lead to serious effects economically and ecologically. |
| 研究指出，大量用水威脅到美國西部十七州之經濟發展，并使可用于发電用的水劇減，降低了該區電力生產量，造成電費價格上漲。 |
According to researches, excessive usage of water threatens the economical development in seventeen states in Western United States, and also reduce the amount of water used for generating electricity by a large margin, falling off the amount of electricity produced in this area, making a rise in the electricity bills. |
| 吃肉浪費大量的水，剩下的水也可能被污染，美國牲畜所生產的总排泄物是全国人总的排泄物之二十倍。 |
Eating meat wastes a large amount of water, even the water left might be contaminated. The total of excrement being produced by cattle in America is 20 times more than the entire country's people. |
| 然而，现今人们很少用動物的排泄物来给田地施肥，大多排放進水道。 |
However, people nowadays don't use animal excrements to fertilize lands, they mostly discharge them into waterways. |
| 由於未處理的排泄物氣化成氨和硝酸鹽，使愈來愈多的水含有硝酸鹽，可能造成嬰兒腦部受損，甚至死亡。 |
Since the unhandled excrement oxidizes into ammonia and nitric acid, the result is that more water contains nitric which may cause brain damage in babies, or even death. |
| 哥斯達黎加有大量素食餐廳，菠蘿汁成爲素食旅游賣點。 |
Costa Rica has a large number of vegetarian restaurants, and pineapple juice is a vegetarian tourist attraction. |
| 該國拥有全世界最高的生物多样性，一旦失去這一地球的生物最富集的陆地生态区，將是一場巨大的生态灾难。 |
This country has the highest biodiversity in this entire world, once it lost the the most concentrated terrestrial ecological zone in this Earth, it is going to be an ecological catastrophe. |
| 聯合國開發計劃署指2000年至2015年间哥斯达黎加菠萝种植迅速蔓延。 |
United Nations Development Planning Department points out that between year 2000 to year 2015, pineapple plantation in Costa Rica spread out wild. |
| 据透露，在过去15年中，该国已经失去了超过5000公顷的森林覆盖面积，超过3000个足球场。 |
It is revealed that in the past 15 years, this country had lost more than 5000 hectares of forest cover area, equivalent to more than 3000 football fields. |
