“地球之肺”在燃烧！巴西派军队赴亚马孙雨林灭火

当法国总统埃马纽埃尔•马克龙威胁要阻止欧盟与巴西和其他几个南美国家达成一项贸易协定时，这场关于亚马孙雨林灭火的争端蔓延到了经济领域。马克龙希望七国集团领导人本周末在法国的峰会上讨论亚马孙雨林危机。

"First, we need to help Brazil and other countries put out these fires," Macron said Saturday.

马克龙周六说：“首先，我们需要帮助巴西和其他国家扑灭大火。”

The goal is to "preserve this forest that we all need because it is a treasure of our biodiversity and our climate thanks to the oxygen that it emits and thanks to the carbon it absorbs," he said.

他说，我们的目标是“保护这片我们都需要的森林，因为它是地球生物多样性和气候的宝藏，这要感谢它所排放的氧气和吸收的碳。”

Bolivia and Paraguay have also struggled to contain fires that swept through woods and fields, in many cases set to clear land for farming. A US-based aircraft, the B747-400 SuperTanker, is flying over devastated areas in Bolivia to help put out the fires and protect forests.

玻利维亚和巴拉圭也在努力扑灭席卷森林和田野的大火，很多情况下大火是开荒导致。美国飞机波音747-400“超级油轮”正在玻利维亚受灾地区上空帮助灭火和保护森林。

Fires are common in Brazil in the annual dry season, but they are much more widespread this year. Brazilian state experts reported nearly 77,000 wildfires across the country so far this year, up 85% over the same period in 2018.
