One way restaurants cope with uncertainty is to scale back offerings and streamline menus, focusing more on foods that have a longer shelf life, a higher profit margin or that require less labor to prepare.
餐馆应对不确定性的一种方法是削减菜品类型，简化菜单，更多地关注那些保质期更长、利润率更高或需要较少劳动力准备的食物。

The weakened ozone layer, which is vital to protecting life on Earth, is on track to be restored to full strength within decades — the latest success of a global effort by nations to stop using chemicals that had been destroying the critical layer in the upper atmosphere. In a report for the United Nations, scientists said Monday that China had largely eliminatedrogueemissions of one of those chemicals, known as CFC-11.
对保护地球生命至关重要的臭氧层已受到损害，但它有望在几十年内完全恢复，这是一项全球努力——即各国停止使用破坏这一高层大气关键层的化学物质——所取得的最新成功。周一，科学家在提交给联合国的一份报告中表示，中国已基本消除了其中一种名为三氯一氟甲烷的化学物质的违规排放。
In the 1970s, scientists first determined that chlorofluorocarbons weredepletingozone high in the atmosphere. By the mid-1980s, researchers discovered a hole in the ozone above the Antarctic, sparking an urgent international effort to repair it. More than 100 ozone-depleting compounds were eventually banned andphased out.
科学家于上世纪70年代首次确定氯氟烃正在消耗大气中的臭氧。到80年代中期，研究人员在南极上空发现了一个臭氧空洞，引发了国际社会的紧急修复行动。超过100种消耗臭氧的化合物最终被禁用并逐步淘汰。
The new assessment also considered, for the first time, the effects on ozone of a potential type of climate intervention, or geoengineering. The method, known asstratosphericaerosolinjection, is meant to cool the atmosphere by using airplanes or other means to distribute sulfur aerosols to reflect some of the sun’s rays before they reach the surface.
这份新评估还首次涵盖了一种潜在的气候干预或地球工程对臭氧的影响。这种方法被称为平流层气溶胶注入，通过飞机或其他途径，在太阳光线到达地面之前投放含硫气溶胶以反射部分光线，从而为大气层降温。
The idea has drawn fierce opposition. Among other objections, opponents say that intervening in the climate in this way could have severe unintended consequences, potentially altering weather patterns worldwide. But many scientists and others say that at the least, research is needed, because warming may reach a point where the world becomes desperate to try such an intervention technique, perhaps temporarily to buy time before greenhouse gas reductions can have a significant effect.
这个想法曾遭到激烈反对。在各种反对意见中，反对者称以这种方式干预气候会导致意想不到的严重后果，可能改变全球的天气模式。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~
Dr. Fahey of NOAA said that some studies had shown an impact on ozone of sulfur aerosols, so the assessment team was given the task of looking into it. There is a lot of uncertainty in their findings, Dr. Fahey said, but the basic message is that trying to cool the planet by 0.5 degree Celsius (0.9 degree Fahrenheit), say, through the use of sulfur aerosols, would have some effect on ozone. But it “will not destroy the ozone layer and create catastrophic consequences,” he said.
国家海洋和大气管理局的费伊博士表示，一些研究已经显示了含硫气溶胶对臭氧的影响，因此评估小组的任务就是对此进行调研。费伊博士说，他们的发现有很多不确定性，但基本的情况是，用含硫气溶胶使地球降温0.5摄氏度会对臭氧产生一些影响。但这“不会破坏臭氧层并造成灾难性的后果”，他说。
