摘要
1962年出版的《寂静的春天》,被称为世界环境保护运动的里程碑。早在1971年,国内地学界刘东生、农药学界杨石先等人已经在阅读和推介蕾切尔·卡森的《寂静的春天》,此时距该书出版不过9年。1970年代初,刘东生在进行克山病调研时,以杰出科学家的敏感与责任,时刻关注国外环境科学的发展,科学地预见到随着中国大规模现代化建设的开展,环境污染和其他环境灾害问题必然也会发生,再加上当时官厅水库污染事件,刘东生先生建议安排翻译《寂静的春天》,并刊登在《环境地质与健康》期刊上,为1979年正式出版奠定了坚实的基础。正是因为学界专家对《寂静的春天》的译介,特别是1979年《寂静的春天》中译本的出版,极大地推动了现代环境保护意识在中国的建立。
Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring,published in 1962,is regarded as the milestone of world environmental protection movement.It is as early as in 1971,nine years after the appearance of Silent Spring,that Chinese scholars such as Liu Dongsheng in geoscience,Yang Shixian in pesticide science,etc.,began to read and recommend the book.In the early 1970s,in his investigation into Keshan disease,an endemic cardiomyopathy,Liu Dongsheng,an outstanding scientist who was always aware of his responsibility and sensitive to the development of environmental science in other countries,predicted that with the large-scale nationwide modernization construction,environmental pollution and other environmental disasters would inevitably happen to China.In addition,the Guanting reservoir pollution incident that occurred at that time sparked off his proposal to have Silent Spring translated and published in the journal of Environmental Geology and Health,which laid a solid foundation for the official release of the translated book in 1979.It is the experts’efforts of translating and introducing Silent Spring,especially the 1979 Chinese version of the book that greatly raised the awareness of modern environmental protection in China.
