| Spectacular species previously unknown to the outside world are being discovered in the Amazon rainforest at a rate of one every three days, the environmentalist group WWF said Tuesday, according to an AFP report. An anaconda as long as a stretch limousine, a giant catfish that eats monkeys, a blue fanged spider and poison dart frogs are among the 1,220 animals and plants to have been discovered between 1999 and 2009, according to the WWF. | 据法新社报道，环保组织世界自然基金会周二表示亚马逊雨林内，每隔3天就会有新物种被发现。加长版轿车一般的蟒蛇，吃猴子的鲶鱼，带有蓝色毒牙的蜘蛛，还有毒镖蛙……代表了1999年至2009年10年间新发现的1220种动植物。 |
| But the organization warned that logging and clearing land for agricultural uses such as cattle farming and palm oil plantations have led to 17% of the Amazon rainforest -- an area twice the size of Spain -- disappearing over the past 50 years. |
但该组织警告称，伐木和拓荒（比如畜牧、采棕榈油）已经使亚马逊的面积在过去的50年里减少了17%，相当于西班牙面积的2倍。 |
