2017年12月英語六級翻譯題庫:白斑狗魚
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
白斑狗魚是一種十分有害的魚類。它體型很大,容易饑餓,以捕食其他小型魚類為生。許多白斑狗魚居住在戴維斯湖。它們捕殺那里的小型魚類。白斑狗魚對戴維斯湖造成了嚴重的威脅,因為它們捕食那里的所有小型魚類。不久,湖中的所有其他魚類都會被它們吃光。這對環(huán)境來說是不健康的。
研究人員擔心白斑狗魚會通過許多匯入戴維斯湖的小河游出戴維斯湖。這樣它們就可能遍布整個國家,危害許多其他的水域。如果這種情況發(fā)生,到時再阻止白斑狗魚就太晚了。
十年來,官員們試圖將白斑狗魚移出戴維斯湖。他們嘗試用網(wǎng)捕撈和用毒藥毒殺白斑狗魚。但是,白斑狗魚依然在戴維斯湖生活得很好。許多人不贊成用毒藥毒殺白斑狗魚。他們擔心毒藥對同樣使用湖水的人類有害。但是,人們尚未在當?shù)氐木邪l(fā)現(xiàn)任何毒藥的痕跡。
科學(xué)家打算再次嘗試毒藥。這一次,他們將會先抽干湖水,然后放入毒藥。為了討論這個問題,將會召開一次向公眾開放的聽證會。
