1、世界海洋日：盘点那些清理海洋的奇妙发明,The Seabin project Invented by two Aussie surfers, the Seabin is pretty much exactly what you think: its a large flowerpot-shaped container that captures everything from plastic bottles, bags and utensils (餐具), as well as trash as small as 2mm.,海上垃圾桶 由两名澳洲冲浪者发明的海上垃圾桶Seabin和你猜想的差不
2、多：它是一个花盆状的大容器，可以捕获塑料瓶、塑料袋和各种用具，包括2毫米那么小的垃圾。,capture kpt vt. 俘获；夺得；捕捉,trash tr n. 垃圾；废物,A pump at the bottom of the bin sucks in water and rubbish, which are then separated by a mesh unit inside. The water is then released, while the trash is recycled.,垃圾桶底部的泵可以吸进水和垃圾，内部的网面会将它们分离。水被放掉，垃圾被回收。,pump pmp
3、 n. 泵；泵送,suck sk vt. 吸吮；吸取,The seabins are fitted around marinas(码头) and coasts, trapping rubbish before it can make its way into the ocean proper.,海上垃圾桶被安装在码头和海岸周围，在垃圾进入内海之前就把它们截住。,Recycling Technologies Capturing plastic in the oceans is one thing, but what to do with it once its back on land? Acc
4、ording to the UN, less than one tenth of plastic produced gets recycled.,回收垃圾新办法 捕获海洋垃圾是一回事，但垃圾上岸后要怎么处理它们呢？根据联合国的数据，得到回收的塑料产品还不到十分之一。,However, one UK company has come up with an ingenious(有独创性的) way of dealing with types of plastic that are “unrecyclable”before they even make it into our waters.,但是，
5、一家英国公司想出了一种巧妙的办法来处理“不可回收”的塑料，甚至是在这些塑料进入海洋之前。,come up with 提出；想出,Rather than let many types of plastic get sent to landfills, be incinerated(焚烧) or exported, Recycling Technologies has come up with another solution: melt it, and then turn it into an oil that can then be turned into everything from ne
6、w packaging to wax for waterproofing (防水剂), product surface coating and more.,“回收技术”公司不是将多种垃圾送去垃圾填埋场、焚烧或出口，而是想出了另一种解决办法：将垃圾熔化提炼出一种油，并用这种油做成新包装、防水蜡、产品表面涂层等各种产品。,landfill ln(d)fl n. 垃圾填埋地；垃圾堆,Plastic-eating enzyme（酶） An innovation that has a profound impact on plastic was created completely by acciden
7、t.,吃塑料的酶 这项对塑料产生深远影响的创新技术的出现完全是偶然。,innovation nven n. 创新，革新；新方法,profound impact 深远影响,Back in April 2018, scientists announced that they inadvertently(无意地) created an enzyme called PETase that can break polyethylene terephthalate(PET聚乙烯) plastics down to its original chemicals.,2018年4月，科学家宣布无意间创造出了一种
8、名为PETase的酶，这种酶可以把聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）塑料分解成原始的化学物质。,original rdnl adj. 原始的；最初的,This is seen as a breakthrough because PET, which is used to make packaging by the food and drink industry, is extremely hard to break down into a state that would allow it to be recycled into other high-quality plastic product
9、s, instead coming out as a lower-grade and therefore less-valuable product.,这被视为突破性进展，因为用于食品和饮料包装的PET极其难分解，无法经过回收重新制成高质量塑料产品，只能制成低价值的低级产品。,This means that new high-quality plastic packaging still has to be made. However, with the discovery of PETase, it is hoped the recycling loop can be closed so t
10、hat old PET products get recycled into products of the same high-quality.,这意味着还要用新原料来制作高质量的塑料包装。然而，随着PETase被发现，塑料包装有望实现循环回收利用，旧的PET产品将能经过回收被重新制成同样高质量的产品。,WasteShark Referred to as the “Wall-E of the water” the WasteShark is an aquadrone(水下无人机) that sucks up garbage from the water.,垃圾鲨鱼 绰号“水中瓦力”的垃圾鲨鱼
11、是从海水中吸走垃圾的水下无人机。,Created by RanMarine, a Dutch environmental technology company, the WasteShark was initially deployed(部署) in the Dubai Marina. It can swim for up to 16 hours and consume as much as 1,100lbs of trash.,荷兰环保技术公司RanMarine制造的垃圾鲨鱼最初被用于迪拜码头。垃圾鲨鱼可以持续游16个小时，吃进多达1 100磅（约500千克）的垃圾。,initially n
12、()l adv. 最初，首先,consume knsjum vt. 消耗，消费,It collects everything from floating trash, plastic and even microplastic(塑料微粒). It has sensors that measure everything from pH, nitrate(硝酸盐), water salinity(盐分) and chloride(氯化物). Once the trash is collected, the aquadrone delivers it to the collection point.,垃圾鲨鱼可以收集从漂浮物到塑料的各种垃圾，甚至可以吸进塑料微粒。它的传感器可以测量酸碱度、硝酸盐、盐度、氯化物等各种指标。一旦垃圾装满，水下无人机就会把垃圾送到收集点。,deliver dlv vt. 递送；传送；运载,
