鲨鱼，过着他们的生活(Sharks, just living their lives)

在鲨鱼意识日，让我们从鲨鱼的角度来思考问题。鲨鱼的名声不好。它们可能是海洋中的顶级捕食者，但在过去的半个世纪里，我们对它们的数量减少了70%以上负有最大责任。与其延续鲨鱼危险的刻板印象，不如让我们把它们想象成真正的鲨鱼——它们的基因中有着数亿年历史的神奇海洋生物。我们可能并不总是想与它们面对面，但它们值得我们尊重，为了我们整个海洋的健康，鲨鱼值得保护。

For Shark Awareness Day, let’s consider things from the shark’s point of view. Sharks get a bad rap. They may be apex predators of the oceans, but we’re the ones most responsible for reducing their populations by more than 70% in the past half-century. Rather than perpetuate the stereotype of sharks being dangerous, let’s think of them as they are – amazing sea creatures with hundreds of millions of years of history in their genes. We may not always want to encounter them face to face, but they deserve our respect and for the health of our oceans as a whole, sharks deserve protection.
