二、英翻中【30 分】 As much as the greening of sports was a mirage to many skeptics, it is no longer a pie in the sky now — it’s moving forward dramatically. Stadiums have installed wind and solar operations, improved lighting efficiency, ramped up recycling efforts and diverted increasing amounts of organic waste from the landfill through composting efforts. The payback is not just good public relations but, increasingly, real bottom-line savings. The story of the Seattle Mariners explains how this can work. First, he Seattle Mariners baseball team saw first-hand the financial benefits of working for energy efficiency when it reduced natural gas use 60% and electricity use by 30% from 2006 to 2009 at Safeco Field. The Mariners now have one of the most comprehensive environmental programs in sports. The change was questioned by a lot of naysayers, but the numbers eventually convinced them. Now the Mariners’ stadium is the exemplary model of green practice.
