Part A :

Today we're pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust.

今天，我们很高兴的邀请到了来自海豚保护基金会的Alice Bussell。

Tell us about the Trust, Alice.

来告诉我们关于这个基金会，爱丽丝。

Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world.

嗯，显然其目的是为了保护来自世界各地的海洋里的海豚。

It tries to raise people's awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats.

它试图提高人们关于这些海洋生物因为受到污染和其他威胁而所承受的痛苦的觉悟。

It started ten years ago and it's one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country although it's still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection.

它始于十年前，并且它是我们国家中发展最快的动物慈善机构--虽然和那些大牌动物保护协会相比它仍然是相当小的。

We are particularly proud of the work we do in education last year we visited a huge number of schools in different parts of the country, going round to talk to children and young people aged from five to eighteen.

关于我们在教育上做的工作，我们感到特别自豪--去年我们走访了全国不同地区的很多学校，去和五到十八岁的儿童和青少年谈话。

In fact, about thirty five per cent of our members are children.

事实上，我们的成员大约35％是儿童。

The charity uses its money to support campaigns for example, for changes in fishing policy and so forth.

慈善机构利用其资金来支持竞选，例如，在渔业政策上的变化等等。

It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full time biologist with dolphin expertise to monitor populations.

它希望很快能够雇佣它的第一个全职的生物学家--海豚相关专业知识的--以监测它们。

Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation, office work and other things.

当然，很多人放弃了因为这是自愿的，我们现在有志愿者在观察方面，办公室工作和其他工作的事情上面。

I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year for our work in education.

我还要告诉你，去年慈善委员会颁了奖给我们-因为我们在教育上做的工作。

Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood.

虽然这对我们来说并不意味着对巨额资金，它使我们的活动被更广泛的宣传和了解。

In the long term it may not bring in extra members but we're hoping it'll have this effect.

从长远来看，它可能不会给我们带来额外的成员，但我们希望它会产生这样的效果。

Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?

有没有可能在英国水域看到海豚?

Yes. In several locations.

是的。在几个地方有。

And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.

我们在苏格兰东部的一个大项目。

This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.

这一直是海豚的一个避风港，因为它很少有船舶经过。

However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.

然而，这可能即将改变，因为石油企业要在那里加大勘探。

We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.

我们正在参加竞选来反对这一点，因为，虽然会从石油污染很小，勘探还是产生了很多的水下噪音。

It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.

这就意味着海豚不能休息和社交。

This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.

这就是我最初如何对海豚保护产生兴趣的。

I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.

我从来没有见过一个，并且我在学校时也没有对其产生什么特别的感兴趣。

Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them.

然后，我读到了这个故事，关于一个海豚家族，因为石油公司不得不离开它们在马里湾的家，和一个孩子竞选去拯救它们。

I couldn't put the book down I was hooked.

我无法把书放下，我就迷上了。

Part B :

I'm sure our listeners will want to find out what they can do to help.

我敢肯定，我们的听众会想看看他们能来帮助些什么。

You mentioned the 'Adopt a Dolphin' scheme.

你刚才提到的“收养海豚”计划。

Can you tell us about that?

你能介绍一下吗？

Of course! People can choose one of our dolphins to sponsor.

当然了!人们可以选择赞助我们的一只海豚。

They receive a picture of it and news updates.

他们会收到海豚的一张照片和新消息的更新。

I'd like to tell you about four which are currently being adopted by our members: Moondancer, Echo, Kiwi and Samson.

我想给大家介绍一下其中目前正在被我们的成员所收养四只海豚Moondancer，Echo，Kiwi和Samson。

Unfortunately, Echo is being rather elusive this year and hasn't vet been sighted by our observers but we remain optimistic that he'll be out there soon.

不幸的是，Echo今年有一点难以捉摸，通过我们的观察还没有发现它的迹象，但我们仍然乐观地认为他很快就会出现。

All the others have been out in force Samson and Moondancer are often photographed together but it is Kiwi who's our real 'character' as she seems to love coming up close for the cameras and we've captured her on film hundreds of times.

所有的人都已经倾巢出动--Samson和Moondancer是经常被拍到在一起，但Kiwi才是我们真正的“主角”，她似乎喜欢来近距离的接触摄像头，我们已经拍到了她数百张照片。

They all have their own personalities Moondancer is very elegant and curves out and into the water very smoothly, whereas Samson has a lot of energy he's always leaping out of the water with great vigour.

他们都有自己的性格--Moondancer非常优雅的曲线，入水姿态非常流畅，然而Samson有很多的能量，他总是以极大的活力跃出水面。

You'd probably expect him to be the youngest he's not quite that's Kiwi but Samson's the latest of our dolphins to be chosen for the scheme.

你可能会认为他是最年轻的，他并不是，Kiwi才是，但是Samson是我们为了这个计划挑选出来的最新的海豚。

Kiwi makes a lot of noise so we can often pick her out straightaway.

Kiwi总是发出很大的噪音，所以我们可以立刻发现她。

Echo and Moondancer are noisy too, but Moondancer s easy to find because she has a particularly large fin on her back, which makes her easy to identify.

Echo和Moondancer也很吵闹，但Moondancer很容易被找到，因为在她的背上有一个尤其大的鳍，这使她很容易被识别。

So, yes, they're all very different ...

所以，是的，他们都是非常与众不同的…

Well, they sound a fascinating group ...

嗯，他们听起来确实是很令人着迷的小组…
