编辑阁下: 在贵刊社论“一个全球性问题的一半”(见“Nature”1987年327卷)中,你们在谈及贫困问题时称:“唯一令人感到安慰的是,穷国中的某些国家(例如过去二十年中的印度)有时摆脱了这一令人沮丧的状况,并找到一条有效地解决自己所面临的问题的道路。如果在向半富裕的目标前进的过程中他们认为有必要砍掉几百公顷(或几百平方公里)的原始森林,那么当地人对此不会象(挪威首相)布伦特兰夫人那样感到遗憾。” Edit your Excellency: In your editorial, “Half of a Global Problem” (see Nature, Volume 327, 1987), when talking about the issue of poverty, you said: “The only comforting thing is that in a poor country Some countries, such as India in the past two decades, sometimes get out of this frustrating situation and find a way to effectively deal with the problems they face. If they think in the process of moving toward a semi-rich goal There is a need to cut hundreds of hectares (or hundreds of square kilometers) of primeval forests so locals do not feel as deplorable as Mrs. Brundtland (Prime Minister of Norway). ”
