【解析】
1. 原文出处:The threat is from commercial fishing, saysGriffin. Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and long line fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles.
文中引用Griffin的话指出,真正的威胁来自商业捕捞;接下来的一句话进一步补充说明,拖捞船和多钩长线渔船对海龟的生存来说是严重的威胁。
2. 原文出处:Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived thedinosaurs (恐龙) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.
文中指出,人类必须同时解决好这些问题,否则海龟将会毁灭在人类的手中;还提到,也许我们的子孙后代会感到疑惑:为什么如此丑陋的生物会获得如此多的宠爱?这里的宠爱指人类采取措施保护海龟免遭灭绝的做法,即末句实际上是在呼吁人类采取有效措施来保护海龟,确保它们能够生存下去。
