这是一则读后让人大吃一惊的消息。美国东海岸一种名叫Pfiesterispiscicida的有毒微生物杀死了数以百万计的鱼。而且,有人也染上了一种可怕的神经综合症: …some sufferers would set out by car on an errand only to forget where theywere going and what they had planned to do once they got there. 因此,令人垂涎的所谓生猛海鲜也让人避退三舍: …the seafood industry saw sales plunge by more than $40 million as consumerspanicked over a supposed threat to local fisheries. 再看看我们这里的情形,也让人不寒而栗。据报道,我国渤海已成为一个死海,已无多少鱼虾可捕。 更让人难以置信的是,北极圈一带,由于核潜艇常出没,排放的有害物质污染了海面,侵入幼熊体内,造成它们有雄雌两套生殖器。 Pfiesteria piscicida是新词,我们向上海译文出版社词典编辑室询问此词,也得不到相应的汉译。读者中如有解此“密”者,请写信与我们联系。谢谢！

Population geography in China since the 1980s： Forging the links between population studies and human geography

This paper reviews the progress of population geography in China since the 1980 s. The review results suggest that contrary to the common perception of its invisibility and marginalized status in the field, tremendous progress has been made in population geography in China since the 1980 s. Population geographers have made significant contribution to the understanding of a wide range of population issues from geographical perspectives, including migration, urbanization, population distribution, the relationships between population, environment and resources, aging, marriage patterns, and migrants＇ crimes, although such contribution often did not appear in the geographical circle. Furthermore, population geographers have played an indispensable role in revitalizing population studies in China and forging its links to human geography, occupying an important position in this multi-disciplinary field. Population geographers＇ contribution to the areas of migration and urbanization research has been particularly significant, reflected in their leading roles in these areas＇ research. The paper demonstrates that as latecomers in the field after more than 20 years of isolation, population geographers in China have gone through a process of catching up and increasing engagement with developments in social sciences and increasing interaction with social scientists since the 1980 s, and have benefited greatly from it; however, there is a tendency for population geography to be increasingly alienated from the main stream human geography, a phenomenon similar to but not exactly the same as Anglo-American geography in the late 1990 s and early 2000 s. The paper argues that population geography is only half way in the course to forge the links between population studies and human geography, and it needs to return to geographical sciences to strike a healthy balance between the field of population studies and that of human geography, and promote its further development in a multi-disciplinary field.
