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.
水下避难所 当
政府再也无法
驳倒证据时，他们终于同意
修复这座珊瑚
礁并把它建成一个水下
避难所。通过
回收利用废物赚来的钱将被
降级使用用来支付
避难所的开支，部分
多余的政府
退款将用于支付
修复费。每个人都
充满喜悦，他们把
点心举到空中祝他们的勤奋工作会通过
修复自然得到
补偿。随着消息在全国各地
转播，谁也不能
控制住他或她的激动，因为他们都被胜利的喜悦冲
昏了头脑。
但是有一些人知道，这不过是一次更大的战役的
排练，他们要与一些公司做斗争，这些公司被
给予充分自由可以破坏
芦苇本已稀少的沼泽地。这场斗争的
仲裁者将很难发挥影响力。他们将要与之斗争的那些公司已经
一口气说出了经常重复的表扬，因为他们在其他地方也有保护环境的举动，而且他们的公司
团体买通了那些对该问题拥有
控制权的电视台和报社的
新闻记者，他们决不会失掉这种已经取得的
统治地位。
但是首先他们要尽可能地享受这次胜利。胜利不是常有而且来之不易，为什么要因为想着下一次战役而影响这一次的庆祝，所以他们举行聚会，表扬
政府承认应当保护自然，并且有时候还要恢复自然。
