　　范文：

　　This is a very interesting cartoon, in which two sharks are celebrating the good news that thanks to global warming, the sea water will drown a nearby island in five years where a man is fishing. Hence, the sharks are eager to enjoy a good meal of human flesh.

　　Though exaggerate a little, the cartoon illuminates a serious fact that the unusually rapid speed of sea-level rise, caused by global warming, is devouring our lands, and for that matter, our lives. A recent report also supported this view by quoting scientists’ forecast that island countries like Japan and Indonesia, as well as the numerous islands on the Pacific Ocean, might disappear from our maps forever. The current greenhouse effect remains out of control. We are sad to perceive that the threat fail to arouse enough attention, which is best exemplified by the frustration that Kyoto Protocol confronts.

　　In my opinion, it is high time for the whole world to form cooperation fighting global warming, because not a single government nor person is exempt from its harm. A series of down-to-earth measures need to be urgently implemented to control the output of carbon dioxide that greatly contributes to global warming.

　　译文：

　　这是一幅十分有趣的漫画，其中两只鲨鱼在庆贺一个好消息，因为全球变暖，海水五年后就会淹没附近的一个小岛，岛上有一个人在钓鱼。因此，鲨鱼们迫不及待地想吃一餐美味的人肉大餐。

　　尽管这幅漫画有一些夸张，但是它却指出了一个严重的事实，那就是由于全球变暖导致的海平面反常地迅速上升，海水逐渐吞噬人们生存的土地，威胁到我们的生命。在最近的一份报告中，科学家预测如果温室效应继续处于失控状态的话，那么日本、印度尼西亚等岛国和其他一些太平洋上的小岛都将从我们的地图上消失。可是，令我们心寒的是这个威胁还没有引起足够的重视，最好的一个例证就是《东京协定》一直无法顺利实施。

　　因此，我认为现在已经到了全世界联合起来共同抗击全球变暖的关键时刻，因为没有任何一个政府和个人能够免受其影响。我们需要尽快采取一些实实在在的措施，以期减少二氧化碳的排放，控制全球变暖的趋势。
