BBC 原版MP3 下載

It's collected daily, bowl by bowl. It will be boiled and processed into one of the most important materials to a fast developing nation - rubber.
它每天都被采集，一碗又一碗。液體將被熬制成為一種非常重要的材料。橡膠對(duì)發(fā)展中國(guó)家來(lái)說(shuō)尤為關(guān)鍵。

The expansion of the rubber forests began in the '50s when China, under a world rubber embargo, had to become self-sufficient in this vital product.
中國(guó)的橡膠林種植面積在五十年代時(shí)急速擴(kuò)張，美國(guó)侵略朝鮮期間對(duì)當(dāng)時(shí)的中國(guó)實(shí)行了全面的經(jīng)濟(jì)封鎖和橡膠禁運(yùn)。中國(guó)對(duì)這種戰(zhàn)略原料的需求必須自給自足。

Beijing turned to the only place where rubber could grow, the tropical south of Yunnan.
北京當(dāng)局把目光轉(zhuǎn)向了橡膠樹(shù)唯一能夠快速成材的地方：位于熱帶地區(qū)的云南南部。

With efficiency and speed, some of the world's richest forests were torn up and burned. Replaced with mile upon mile of rubber plantation.
高效快捷的行動(dòng)開(kāi)始了，一些世間最豐茂的森林被摧毀并焚燒殆盡，取而代之的是成片的的橡膠林。

But there was a problem for the rubber growers. While Yunnan's unique natural forests can survive on the valley slopes which stretch to the north, just one severe frost will kill off these delicate rubber trees.
橡膠種植者的問(wèn)題也接踵而至。盡管云南獨(dú)特的天然林，能夠在延伸到北部的山坡上茁壯成長(zhǎng)，可是一場(chǎng)嚴(yán)峻的霜凍就能毀滅這片嬌弱的橡膠林。
