用英语介绍我国的天然本钱
Natural Resources（天然本钱）
我国邦畿广阔，天然本钱非常丰厚。我国各类型土地本钱都有分布，水能本钱居世界第四位，是世界上具有野生动物品种最多的国家之一，几乎具有北半球的悉数植被类型，矿藏本钱丰厚，品种完全。
我国是世界本钱大国和本钱性产品出产大国之一。长时刻以来，首要依托本国的本钱开发，成功地完成了打开经济的方针。我国以不到世界10％的耕地抚育了世界22％的人员，依托矿藏本钱为全社会供给了95％的一次动力、80％的工业原材料、70％以上的农业出产材料，海洋本钱的开发使用正在变成国民经济新的增加点。
1 我国天然本钱常识介绍
The 
composition and distribution of China's land resources have three major characteristics: (1) variety in type—cultivated land, forests, grasslands, deserts and tide-land; (2) many more mountains and plateaus than flatlands and basins; (3) unbalanced distribution: farmland mainly concentrate in the east, grasslands largely in the west and north, and forests mostly in the far northeast and southwest.
In China
today, 108 million ha of land are cultivated, mainly in the Northeast Plain, the North China Plain, the Middle-Lower Yangtze Plain, the Pearl River Delta Plain and the Sichuan Basin. The fertile black soil of the Northeast Plain is ideal for growing wheat, corn, sorghum, soybeans, flax and sugar beets.
The deep, brown topsoil of the North China Plain in planted with wheat, corn, millet, sorghum and cotton. The Middle-Lower Yangtze Plain's many lakes and rivers make it particularly suitable for paddy rice and freshwater fish, hence its designation of "land of fish and rice." This area also produces large quantities of tea and silkworms. The purplish soil of the warm and humid Sichuan Basin is green with crops in all four seasons, including paddy rice, rapeseed and tangerines.
Forests blanket 128,63 million ha of China. The Greater Hinggan（大兴安岭）, the Lesser Hinggan and the Changbai mountain ranges in the northeast are China's largest natural forest areas. Major tree species found here include conifers, such as Korea pine, larch and Olga Bay larch, and the broadleaves such as white birch, oak, willow, elm and Northeast China ash.
Major tree species of the southwest include the dragon spruce, fir and Yunnan pine, as well as precious teak trees, red sandalwood, camphor trees, nanmu and padauk. Often called a "kingdom of plants", Xishuangbanna in southern Yunnan Province is a rarity in that it is a tropical broadleaf forest playing host to more than 5,000 plant species.
Grasslands in China cover an area of 400 million ha, stretching more than 3,000 km from the northeast to the southwest. They are the centers of animal husbandry. The Inner Mongolian Prairie is China's largest natural pastureland, and home to Sanhe horses, Sanhe cattle and Mongolian sheep.
The famous natural pasturelands north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang are ideal for stock breeding. The famous Ili horses(伊犁马) and Xinjiang fine-wool sheep are raised here.
China's cultivated lands, forest and grasslands are among the world's largest in terms of total area. But due to China's large population, the areas of cultivated land, forest and grassland per capita are small, especially in the case of cultivated land—less than 0.08 ha per capita, or only one third of the world's average.
China is rich in mineral resources, and all the world's known minerals can be found here. To date, geologists have confirmed reserves of 151 different minerals, putting China third in the world in total reserves. Proven reserves of energy sources include coal, petroleum, natural gas, and oil shale; and radioactive minerals include uranium and thorium.
China's coal reserves total 1,002.49 billion tons, and are mainly distributed in north China, with Shanxi and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region taking the lead. Petroleum reserves are mainly in northwest and also in northeast China, north China and the continental shelves in east China. Proven reserves of ferrous metals include iron, manganese, vanadium and titanium.
China's 46.35 billion tons of iron ore are mainly distributed in northeast, north and southwest China. The Anshan-Benxi Area in Liaoning, east Hebei and Panzhihua in Sichuan are major iron producers. China has the world's largest reserves of tungsten, tin, antimony, zinc, molybdenum, lead, mercury and other nonferrous metals; its reserves of rare earth metals far exceed the total for the rest of the world.

3 让咱们谈谈我国天然本钱
Jack: Let's talk about China's natural resources. 杰克：咱们来说说我国的天然本钱吧。
Daisy: China's land resources are very rich and there is a great variety in type- cultivated land, forests, grasslands, and deserts. 黛西：我国的土地本钱非常丰厚，品种繁复，有耕地、森林、草地、沙漠等。
Jack: China's water resources are also rich, and can rank Number Four in the world. 杰克：我国的水本钱也很丰厚，在世界上可以排到第四位。
Daisy: In China, various natural resources are all very rich. But since China has a large population, its rank of per capita resources in the world is very low. 黛西：我国林林总总的本钱都非常丰厚，可是我国的人员太多，所以人均本钱在世界的排名仍是很低的。
Jack: So it is. 杰克：这倒也是。
Daisy: Take the water resource for example. Although China's total water resources are ranked Number Four in the world, its per capita resources are just one fourth of that of the world. And it is one of the countries which lack water. 黛西：比方说水本钱，尽管我国的排名是世界第四，可是我国的人均仅为世界均匀水平的1/4，是全球人均水本钱最匮乏的国家之一。
Jack: Is it true? Is it really so serious? 杰克：真的吗？有那么严峻吗？
Daisy: Yes, it is. Now, the biggest issue is water. 黛西：有的。如今最大的疑问我觉得就是水本钱疑问。
Jack: Why? 杰克：为啥呢？
Daisy: Because China is on the way of fast development, the pollution is very serious. 黛西：因为我国如今正在灵敏打开，污染特别严峻。
Jack: Many rivers and lakes have also been polluted. 杰克：许多河流和湖泊都被污染了。
Daisy: And China has a marked continental monsoonal climate. Therefore, droughts often happen in autumn and winter times. 黛西：而且我国是典型的季风性末侯，这样的话，秋冬天的时分特别简略发生旱灾。
Jack: During the Spring Festival, when I was watching TV news, I heard a news report saying that the drought in the north this year was very serious. 杰克：本年春节的时分，我在看新闻，新闻上说本年北方的旱灾特别严峻。
Daisy: Yes, so we have to protect our water resource. When the climate is dry, the water conservation is even more important. 黛西：是的，所以咱们要维护水本钱。气候干旱的时分，保存水本钱愈加剧要。
