　　A Marine Refuge

　　When the regime could no longer refute the evidence, they finally approved rehabilitating the coral reef and making it into a marine refuge. Money earned from recycling would be relegated to paying for the refuge and a portion of redundant government refunds would pay for the rehabilitation . Everyone rejoiced and raised their refreshments into the air to toast that their hard work would be redeemed with nature being restored. And as the news was relayed throughout the country no one could rein in his or her excitement as they reeled from the joy of success.

　　But some knew that this was just the rehearsal for a larger battle against companies that were given free reign to destroy marshes with rare reeds. The referees for this battle would not be so easy to influence. The companies that they would have to battle had already reeled off a refrain of praise for their own enviromental acts in other places. And their regiment of company paid news reporters who had already reined over the issue on TV and in the nespaper. They were determined not to let this reign end as well.

　　But first they would enjoy this victory as much as they could. Victories were few and far between, why spoil the celebration with thoughts of the next battle. So they partied and praised the regime for its recognition that nature should be protected and sometimes restored.

　　水下避難所

　　當(dāng)政府再也無(wú)法駁倒證據(jù)時(shí)，他們終于同意修復(fù)這座珊瑚礁并把它建成一個(gè)水下避難所。通過(guò)回收利用廢物賺來(lái)的錢(qián)將被降級(jí)使用用來(lái)支付避難所的開(kāi)支，部分多余的政府退款將用于支付修復(fù)費(fèi)。每個(gè)人都充滿(mǎn)喜悅，他們把點(diǎn)心舉到空中祝他們的勤奮工作會(huì)通過(guò)修復(fù)自然得到補(bǔ)償。隨著消息在全國(guó)各地轉(zhuǎn)播，誰(shuí)也不能控制住他或她的激動(dòng)，因?yàn)樗麄兌急粍倮南矏倹_昏了頭腦。

　　但是有一些人知道，這不過(guò)是一次更大的戰(zhàn)役的排練，他們要與一些公司做斗爭(zhēng)，這些公司被給予充分自由可以破壞蘆葦本已稀少的沼澤地。這場(chǎng)斗爭(zhēng)的仲裁者將很難發(fā)揮影響力。他們將要與之斗爭(zhēng)的那些公司已經(jīng)一口氣說(shuō)出了經(jīng)常重復(fù)的表?yè)P(yáng)，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)谄渌胤揭灿斜Ｗo(hù)環(huán)境的舉動(dòng)，而且他們的公司團(tuán)體買(mǎi)通了那些對(duì)該問(wèn)題擁有控制權(quán)的電視臺(tái)和報(bào)社的新聞?dòng)浾撸麄儧Q不會(huì)失掉這種已經(jīng)取得的統(tǒng)治地位。

　　但是首先他們要盡可能地享受這次勝利。勝利不是常有而且來(lái)之不易，為什么要因?yàn)橄胫乱淮螒?zhàn)役而影響這一次的慶祝，所以他們舉行聚會(huì)，表?yè)P(yáng)政府承認(rèn)應(yīng)當(dāng)保護(hù)自然，并且有時(shí)候還要恢復(fù)自然。
