Put the following passage into English. 如世界上其他地方，中国仍在摸索与自然的和谐关系。六百年前，在此居住的人们在石壁上刻出这几个字，意思是“天涯海角”。近年来世界急剧扩大，中国各地的观光客发现了海南热带海滨渡假的快活。到了2010年，中国总观光收益预期会达到每年750亿英镑。过度发展可能破坏中国的自然环境，完善的生态旅游让中国野生生物获益匪浅。今日中国面临的问题是资源用量大、生活空间与环境品质，这些也是全世界面临的问题。如果世界上有个国家能够解决大规模的环境问题，这莫过于中国，拥有庞大的人力资源与政治权力。中国的脚步不只会影响中国人与中国自然环境，也会影响全世界。 Like the rest of the world, China is still feeling its way towards a harmonious relationship with nature. Six hundred years ago the people who lived here carved this calligraphy in the rocks, announcing it to be the end of the world. In recent years that world has undergone a massive expansion as tourists from all over China have discovered the delights of Hainans tropical seaside resorts. By 2010, Chinas total tourism revenue is expected to hit 75 billion pounds a year. While insensitive development could destroy Chinas natural environment, well-managed eco-tourism could provide huge benefits for Chinas wildlife. The issues that face China today, increasing pressure on resources and living space and quality of environment, are those that face us all. If there is any country in the world equipped to solve environmental problems on a vast scale, it has to be China, with its tremendous human resources and powerful political control. The path it chooses will affect not just its own people and its natural environment, but the rest of the world, too. writing Nowadays humanity is faced with a lot of troublesome problems:energy crisis, cancer, pollution, population explosion, etc. they are threatening the survival of humanity. they are pessimistic because they think that limited energy on earth will be exhausted soon incurable diseases are threatening more peoples lives; pollution is worsening the environment; population explosion wil l make food shortage even more serious. Actually they neednt worry too much about these problems. Scientists will have developed new energy resources by the time oil and coal are used up. Besides, scientists are making a thorough study of genes and they will manage to cure cancer by adjusting the arrangement of genes. They are also making efforts to control pollution and population. Furthermore, all the governments in the world are concerned about these problems and they have taken measures to solve these problems. Therefore, we have every reason to be sure that human beings will conquer nature but they will never be conquered . The end !
