摘　　要：自从人类生活在地球上以来,我们就一直在把动植物带往各处,将它们引入新的生活环境。早期人类到处追捕动物,也会因吃水果而带走种子。如今,人类有意地以多种多样的方式将其他物种带往各处,比如进口宠物、运输农作物、池塘养鱼、农场养牲畜、运送鲜花。很多引入物种是有益的,例如欧洲蜜蜂就在美国成为绝佳的传粉昆虫。然而,也有些引入物种成了“入侵物种”。入侵物种指的是摆脱了人类控制,蔓延生长并对生态系统造成危害的物种。Humans have moved species of plants and animals around,introducing them to new habitats,for as long as we've been on Earth.Early humans chased animals around or moved seeds when they ate fruits.Today,there are a variety of intentional ways that humans move other species around.For example,pets are imported,crops are transported,fish are stocked in ponds,livestock are moved to farms,and flowers are shipped.
