  Save the delta

  "We are witnessing the demise of a unique demographic, the delta-dwelling aborigines." Said the famous scientist Dr. Walker. "They have never had a high population density, but they have always needed a particular land form to be able to make the delectable food that outsiders have come to love. The process for making this food is very deliberate and quite demanding. It includes delayering the soil several layers to a certain depth, the planting of a delicate seed, and then a prolonged delay before harvest."

  "Several delegates who have recently visited the aborigines were delighted to be able to study the process. They had a delightful time with the aborigines. But while they were there they saw that yet another area of the delta was demolished. They tried to denounce this activity, but the company clearing the land denoted them as radical environmentalists who don't care about real jobs!"

  "Sir James, a noted professor of demographics, was even injured as he tried to deliver a serving of the aboriginal food to the company president as a peace offering. They denied his access and, in hastening his departure, caused him to fall and break a leg. Thankfully this is a great opportunity to bring more attention to this situation."

  "In other news we have discussed demerging some of the larger populations. They are simply too dense in some areas. This option has been denounced as well, however, because that would simply be our solution for a culture that we should not alter. Our best option is to halt the destruction of this land type.So our new slogan is 'Save the delta!'

 读故事单词雅思词汇-救救三角洲

  “我们正在目睹一种独特人口的、居住在三角洲的土著人的毁灭。”著名科学家沃克博士说。“他们从来没有过很高的人口密度，但总是需要一种特殊的土地种植一种外地人已经很爱吃的美味作物。种植这种作物的过程要不慌不忙，它的要求是很高的，其中包括去除好几层土壤，直到某个合适的深度，种植一种娇贵的种子，然后要拖延很长时间才能收割。”

  “最近走访过土著人的几位代表很高兴能够研究这一过程。他们和土著人在一起度过了一段愉快的时光。但是在那里的时候他们看到又一片三角洲惨遭破坏。他们试图谴责这种行为，但开辟这块地的公司却认为他们是不关心就业的激进环保主义者!”

  “人口统计数据领域的一位著名教授詹姆士爵士试图把一份土著人的食物作为和平礼物送给公司总裁，这时候他甚至被打伤。他们不让他见总裁，在让他赶快离开的时候，致使他摔断了一条腿。值得欣慰的是，这次机会倒是引起了更多的人关注这件事情。”

  “在其他新闻里我们讨论了拆分一些较大的人口。有些地区的人口真是太稠密了。但是这种选择方案也遭到了谴责，因为这只是我们对于文化问题的解决办法，而这种文化我们根本就不应该改变。我们的最佳选择方案是停止破坏这种土地类型，所以我们的新口号是‘救救三角洲!’
