无法挽救

• The " lily pad theory " qualifies as an appropriate and severe warning : absolutely do not underestimate the severity of any environmental problem , because it develops at an accelerated pace and simply gives people no time to come to their senses and react when it has " accelerated " past the point of no return
  “睡莲叶子理论”被认为是一个合适而严肃的忠告：千万不要低估任何环境问题的严重性，因为它加速发展并且在人们还没来得及回过头来时就发展到无法挽救的地步。
