范文：
People have the illusion that they can do anything with money. Just as what is shown in the picture, by paying a penalty, people can give birth to more children, factories can let out the polluted air directly without any treatment, and trees can be felled at will.
This is a very serious social problem. Compared with other countries, China has a larger population but more limited resources. If everybody behaves in the similar way, it would be far beyond the country's capacity to guarantee everyone a well-off life. Moreover, it was reported that to bring up one child costs 350,000 yuan, which means that a family with several children bears a heavy burden. Meanwhile, if factories do not take any measure to treat the polluted air, the atmosphere will be further contaminated. Also, the felling of trees will surely lead to soil erosion, while frequently occurring sand storms are humans' deserved punishment for deforestation.
Though taxtation is one of the methods to punish this sort of behavior, it is never the only way. Solving these problems reflected in the picture depends largely on our responsibility to society and environment. If the sense of responsibility is greatly aroused, harmony between man and the environment will not be far away.

译文：
现今很多人认为用钱就可以做所有的事情。正如图中所示的那样，通过付罚款，人们可以超生，工厂可以不经过处理就排放废气，树木也可以被随意地砍伐。
这是一个非常严重的社会问题。相比其他国家，中国有更多的人口而资源却非常有限。如果每个人都用这种方式行事的话，那么这个国家远远没有能力让每个人都过上富裕的生活。此外，有报道称要培养一个孩子需要花费3万5千元，这意味着一个有许多孩子的家庭将承受很沉重的负担。同时，如果工厂不采取措施处理废气的话，大气层会被进一步污染。另外，树木砍伐会导致土地的腐蚀和水土流失，频繁发生的沙尘暴就是人类过度砍伐森林应得的惩罚。
尽管罚款是惩罚这些行为的一种方法，但绝不是唯一的方法。解决这个问题更重要的一点在很大程度上取决于我们对于社会和环境的责任。如果能够唤起广泛的责任感，那么我们离达到人与自然之间的和谐就不远了。

范文：
From the picture, we can see clearly that our Earth is suffering from "lung cancer" caused by environmental pollution. Its deteriorating condition is threatening all forms of life, pushing them to the edge of extinction. Just as is vividly depicted, continents that used to be covered by green life now turn deadly black.
The damage to the natural environment began as early as the arrival of industrilization. While abundant products are offered to the society, industrialization also brings the side effect of all forms of pollution. Moreover, human exploitation of natural resources has caused destruction that is far beyond our imagination.Currently the ecosystem is on the verge of collapse, while the population of mankind is still increasing steadily and uncontrollably. More unfortunately, human beings seem addicted to industrial production and material wealth but are hardly aware of the potential dangers.
We must realize that we are neither the master of the Earth, nor should we become the slaves of the advanced technology. Man and nature are supposed to coexist in great harmony. Without changing our negative attitude towards nature, humans will face a fatal destiny. To briefly conclude, economic development should not be achieved at the cost of our Earth's "health".

译文：
从这幅图中，我们可以清楚地看到地球正在遭受由于环境污染导致的"肺癌"的折磨。正在恶化的状况威胁到了所有的生命，将生物推到了灭绝的边缘。该图生动地描绘了那些原先覆盖着绿色植被的大陆现在都变成了死寂的黑色。
人类对于环境的破坏始于工业革命时代的到来。工业化给社会带来了丰富的产品，也带来了一些副作用，包括所有形式的污染。此外，人类对于自然资源的过度开发已经带来了超乎我们想象的破坏。坦率地说，现在生态系统已经到了崩溃的边缘，而人类的污染却仍然在持续并失控地增长。更不幸的是，人类似乎已经对于工业生产和物质财富上瘾了，他们很难意识到潜在的威胁。
但是，我们必须意识到我们并不是地球的主宰，更不该成为先进技术的奴隶。人类和自然应该和谐共存。如果人类不改变对待自然的态度，就会面临不幸的命运。总结来说，经济发展不应该以牺牲地球的"健康"为代价。
