These will happen during the current generation if changes are not made soon, the report said.一份长期报告预测了气候变化的启示性影响，包括干旱，洪水，疟疾率的暴涨和许多动物物种的灭绝。 这些都会发生在当前一代，如果不是很快改变，报告(同时)说。It said the costsrelated toclimate change, if it is allowed to continue unmitigated, could devour as much as 20 percent of the worlds gross domestic product, or GDP.投入的成本与气候变化相关，如果任由其继续恶化。用在气候变化上的花费将耗费全球国内生产总值(GDP)的百分之二十。The consequences for our planet are literally disastrous, Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain said in a speech discussing the report, which is one of the most comprehensive attempts yet to predict the economic impact of global warming.“（气候变化对）地球的结果是灾难性的”英国首相托尼布莱尔(Tony Blair)在讨论气候变化报告的一次演讲中说： 这是一个最全面的尝试，但是还没有预测全球变暖对经济的影响。This disaster isnotset to happeninsome science-fictionfuture, many years ahead,butin our lifetime, Blair said. What is more, unless we act now,notsome time distant butnow, these consequences,disastrousasthey are, will be irreversible.“这场灾难将发生在我们的有生之年，而非久远的科幻的未来。”布莱尔说：“此外，如果我们不采取措施，不是未来，就是现在，后果会是灾难性的，而且是不可逆转的。”1315If the sources of greenhouse gases continue unchecked, average temperatures could rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the next 50 years, the report says. By comparison, during the last Ice Age, temperatures were just 5 degrees Celsius cooler than they are now.报告指出，如果温室气体的来源继续不被抑制，那么在未来的50年内平均气温将上升2至3摄氏度。相比之下，上一个冰河时代，温度仅比目前低5摄氏度。A 2-to-3-degree increase in average temperatures could leave one-sixth of the worlds population facing floods or droughts. It could reduce crop production in Africa enough to put several hundred million people at risk of starvation.平均气温每上升2-3度可能会让世界上六分之一的人口面临洪水或干旱。它可以减少非洲农作物的产量，这足以使几亿人面临饥饿的风险Almost half of the worlds land animals could face extinction, the report argued. An additional degree increase after that and cities like New York, Tokyo, London and St. Petersburg would be at constant risk of flooding.报告显示，几乎一半的陆地动物将面临灭绝,。在此之后任何额外温度的上升将使得一些城市比如纽约，伦敦和东京圣彼得堡经常面临洪水泛滥的风险。Unit 9（重点看）Members-only parks, beaches and theme parks which promise to keep out undesirables will spring up in affluent areas, and trendy loft-living couples will call in teams of “baby proofers” to make their high-tech homes children friendly.承诺防止不良分子进入的会员制的公园、海滩和主题公园将在富裕的地区迅速增长，新潮的富裕（阁楼风）夫妇会召集保障儿童活动安全的专业团队确保他们的高科技家庭设施对儿童是友好的Labor-saving gadgets and services will become vital as increasingly hurried consumers have less time to shop, cook and clean for themselves.由于越来越忙碌的消费者几乎没有时间自己去购物、做饭、清理，所以节约劳动力的设备和服务变得至关重要。“Intelligent refrigerators will track consumption, printing a shopping list on demand or transmitting it electronically to a home delivery service, smart cookers will know how you like your eggs, meal trucks will circle neighborhoods at dinner time, offering complete meals, and you will get your personal shopper to pick out everything you need from clothing to food,” says Ms. Salzman.“智能冰箱可以跟踪食物消耗情况，按需打印购物清单或发送一份电子订单给家政送货服务公司，智能炊具知道你喜欢的鸡蛋烹饪方式，餐车会在用餐时间在街区巡游并提供全套的餐点，你的私人导购会为你挑选从衣服到食物等所有你需要的东西。”Salzman女士说。But she warns that for an emerging of technological have-nots, the future looks bleak.但她警告说，对于新兴的技术匮乏阶层，其前景暗淡。“The chasm between those who do and do not have access to new technologies (particularly the Internet) will be far more significant than separations caused by age, geography, sex or lifestyle. Those who arent wired will be blocked from an entire universe of information, communication and community,” She says.“人与人之间由于是否接触和接受新技术（特别是因特网）所造成的鸿沟将远远超过其由于年龄、地域、性别和生活方式所造成的差异。那些没有连线的人将被封锁在信息、通讯和整个社会之外”她说。Unit 10（重点看） Amid all this bounty there is just one thing that none of these companies offer. And that is time. If employers really want to show that they are helping employees balance their lives, the answer
