Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 周三， 2008年9月17日

By通过 Neil McLaughlin尼尔麦克劳克林 | By now you have likely heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch , a tragic byproduct of the plastics industry and consumerism that is an island of garbage floating in the northern Pacific Ocean. |由现在你有可能听到的伟大太平洋垃圾修补程序 ，一个悲惨的副产品塑料工业和消费是一个岛国，垃圾漂浮在北太平洋。 Originally the size of Texas and approaching the size of the Sun, this gargantuan pile of plastic is collected by currents that swirl around in a big circle.原来的大小德克萨斯州和临近的大小的太阳，这庞大的一堆塑料是所收集的电流涡流左右，在一个大循环。 Most of the debris is picked up from the shores of both China and North America that sandwich it.大部分的碎片拾起，从海岸的中国和北美的夹心。

As plastic never goes away, it eventually crumbles up into tiny bits (photo-degrades).作为塑料从未消失了，它一旦崩溃，最终成细小的比特（图片-降解）。 These bits of plastic enter the这些位的塑料进入 food食物 supply and are passed from the jelly fish all the way back up to humans where it is stored in their livers (that part is only fair).供应，并通过从果冻的所有鱼类的方式备份到人类的地方，这是储存在其肝脏（即部分才是公平的）。 Plastic also pollutes the塑料也污染 water水 with PCB’s ( PolyChlorinated Biphenyls , dangerous carcinogens and hormone disruptors).与印刷电路板的（ 多氯联苯 ，危险的致癌物质及激素干扰）。

While no one person is to blame, every person has contributed to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (it’sa safe bet the Atlantic also has one lurking somewhere).虽然没有一个人是咎由自取，每个人都有贡献，向伟大的太平洋垃圾修补程序（它是安全的赌注，大西洋也有一个隐患某处）。 Whether one throws litter on the ground or trusts in their municipal trash companies to do it for them, everyone throws away plastic and it ends up in the ocean and then back in our bodies.是否一全垃圾在地面上或信托在其市政垃圾桶公司这样做对他们来说，每个人都抛弃塑胶制品及它结束了在海洋，然后回到我们的机构。

While some say cleanup is impossible, hopefully someday someone will find a solution.虽然有人说，清理是不可能的，希望总有一天，会有人找到解决办法。 Perhaps they will find a way to convert plastic to energy (it is made of oil after all), and they can make a ship refueling station out there that will produce energy from plastic.也许他们会找到一种方法，转换塑胶能源（它是由石油毕竟），他们可以使船舶的加油站出在那里，会产生能源，从塑料。 Or perhaps nanotech robots can disassemble it and bring it to the recycler.或也许是纳米技术的机器人可以拆开它，把它送到了回收再利用。 (Such technology would be extremely dangerous as it would have to be careful not to accidentally disassemble Kenny Rogers face). （这种技术将是非常危险的，因为它便要小心，不要无意中拆开肯尼罗杰斯面对）。 In the meantime there are many things people can do to at least help prevent this pile of garbage from getting any larger.在此期间有很多事情的人可以做的，至少有助于防止这一堆垃圾，从收到任何较大。
