Question

帮忙翻译下，谢谢！

a new kind of chemical revolution is brewing ,150 years after the first one transforms modern life with a host of conveniences.
this 21st-century revolution -called green chemistry -is a reaction to the environmental and economic costs that often are the dark underbelly of such a transformation.
The fundamental idea of green chemistry is that the designer of a chemical is responsible for considering what will happen to the world after the agent is put in place.
By rethinking chemical design from the ground up,green chemists at universities and in private industry are developing new ways to manufacture products that fuel economy and lifestyles,with-out the damages that have become all too evident in recent years.

The stakes are high indeed.Cleaning up chemical messes is growing ever more costly.The DuPont company agreed to pay up to$600 million in fines and settlement costs over environmental damage caused by production of Teflon and Gore-Tex.

Historically,Americans have thought of economics and the environment as a trade-off ——you can do well by one or the other,but not both. Green chemistry changes that equation.

Answer 1

继150年之前第一次化学革命给现代生活带来了种种便利之后，今天一场新型的化学革命正在酝酿。
21世纪发生这场被称之为“绿色化学”的革命是为应对社会转型产生的环境和经济成本。
“绿色化学”的基本理念是化学制品的生产者应为该产品使用之后产生的后果负责。
来自高校和企业倡导绿色的化学家在产品设计的初期就开始探索新的生产工艺，以求在发展经济和改善人们生活的同时不对环境造成破坏。
事实上，发展绿色化学风险很高，处理化工废料的成本也越来越高。杜邦公司因生产特氟龙和格尔斯特纤维对环境造成损害而支付高达6亿美金的罚款和安抚费用。
从历史的角度来看，美国人一直认为经济和环境不能兼顾，二者只能顾一头，但是现在绿色化学家改变了这种状态。

你把它分成三到四段，一定有人拔刀相助。否则骑驴看成本 。。。
