前言
全球最大的色情網站Pornhub在它的視頻網站上，開設了一個專門的目錄「Panda Style」。這家網站發起了一項「Make Porn，Save Pandas」的公益活動。鼓勵粉絲錄下自己身著熊貓服和伴侶啪啪的視頻，然後上傳至Pornhub。初衷是，動物學家可以將這些視頻播放給熊貓，由此來激發它們的「性趣」。同時，Pornhub會按照上傳數量和點擊觀看數給保護大熊貓基金會捐獻相應的善款。
在很多年輕人看來，這應該算是一件雙贏的事情。網站豐富了內容，由此提升了瀏覽量，增加廣告營收。處於瀕臨的大熊貓也能得到資金方面的救助。然而，這種以「色情」為噱頭的活動還是招致了很多批評。本文就是強烈反對聲音的論調。以下原文節選，就是論述為什麼Pornhub的這場活動其實就是一個的噱頭。
先不要看翻譯，試著自己理解文章意思。注意特殊標記部分。
The whole campaign idea is for Pornhub consumers to dress up like pandas and make their own versions of 「panda porn」 so zoologists can have videos to show the pandas to get them 「in the mood.」 The porn site planned to donate $100 to panda preservation nonprofits for every video uploaded for this campaign, and for each view of the panda uploads, Pornhub planned to donate one cent to panda conservation for the month after the campaign, encouraging consumers to watch even more porn. Classic.
dress up like pandas dress up like XXX 打扮的像XXX
zoologist：動物學家
get them 「in the mood」：讓他們「性趣盎然」
panda preservation nonprofits：nonprofits是名詞，指非盈利組織。preservation是preserve的名詞，指保護。
Classic：棒極了！注意，由於這篇文章對Pornhub的行為是持否定態度的，因此這裡的classic並非真的喝彩，而是一種反話。
第2、3段
And here’s the thing—if the audio of other pandas is what experts are claiming specifically works for pandas, then videos of humans having sex in panda get-ups won’t actually work to 「help save the pandas」 at all.And given what panda breeding experts say about the panda videos, clearly, zoologists have zero need for pornographic videos of humans, even if they’re dressed up in costumes that sort-of resemble weird-looking pandas.第4段
But, nice try, Pornhub. How noble to donate a little money to saving pandas while it makes millions of dollars off of promoting sexual exploitation and glamorizing sexual assault on its site, right? The fact that they’re a free tube site that profits from new content that’s uploaded because of ad revenue probably doesn’t have anything to do with this…right?
But, nice try, Pornhub. 這部分都是反話，並不是說真的nice。看似褒，其實是貶。
makes millions of dollars off of：make money off (of/from)XXX 靠幹XXX賺錢，這裡的of可以沒有，也可以換成from。
sexual exploitation：性剝削。這裡的exploitation的動詞是exploit，即剝削、利用之意。作者的立場是，Pornhub其實是在剝削其消費者。
glamorizing sexual assault：sexual assault=性騷擾，glamorize sexual assault就是美化性騷擾。
The fact that they’re a free tube site that profits from new content that’s uploaded because of ad revenue probably doesn’t have anything to do with this。
這句話的主幹你可以分清楚嗎？如下圖
第6段
We can’t be the only ones who see through this sad attempt to thinly disguise profiting off of sexual exploitation. It’s obvious that they are capitalizing on the idea of a charitable cause just to get people to watch more porn and exploit themselves, all in the name of a 「good cause.」
capitalizing on XXX：靠XXX積累資本，獲利
see through：識破、看穿
profiting off (of/from) = make money off from/of
sad attempt to thinly disguise profiting off of sexual exploitation：徒勞地偽裝通過性剝削獲利的可悲嘗試

The whole campaign idea is for Pornhub consumers to dress up like pandas and make their own versions of 「panda porn」 so zoologists can have videos to show the pandas to get them 「in the mood.」 The porn site planned to donate $100 to panda preservation nonprofits for every video uploaded for this campaign, and for each view of the panda uploads, Pornhub planned to donate one cent to panda conservation for the month after the campaign, encouraging consumers to watch even more porn.

整個公益活動的目的是讓Pornhub網友打扮成大熊貓，製作自己的「熊貓色情片」，以便動物學家可以播放這些視頻給大熊貓，讓他們「性趣盎然」。在活動期間，對於上傳的每部視頻，這家色情網站計劃向熊貓保護非盈利組織捐贈100美元。在活動結束後的一個月內，網站還計劃對每個播放量捐贈1美分，以鼓勵網友觀看更多的色情內容。真是優秀！
And here’s the thing—if the audio of other pandas is what experts are claiming specifically works for pandas, then videos of humans having sex in panda get-ups won’t actually work to 「help save the pandas」 at all.
這就是問題所在，如果專家聲稱只有其它熊貓的聲音才真正有效果，那麼人類身著熊貓服愛愛的視頻其實根本無法「幫助拯救大熊貓」。
And given what panda breeding experts say about the panda videos, clearly, zoologists have zero need for pornographic videos of humans, even if they’re dressed up in costumes that sort-of resemble weird-looking pandas.
而且，鑑於熊貓育種專家對於熊貓視頻的評價，即便網友穿著看起來像古怪熊貓的裝束，動物學家對這種人類色情片的需求也為零。
But, nice try, Pornhub. How noble to donate a little money to saving pandas while it makes millions of dollars off of promoting sexual exploitation and glamorizing sexual assault on its site, right? The fact that they’re a free tube site that profits from new content that’s uploaded because of ad revenue probably doesn’t have anything to do with this…right?
但是，這真是很好的嘗試，Pornhub。捐出來一點點錢拯救熊貓，但同時通過在自己網站上鼓勵性剝削和美化性侵犯來賺取數百萬美元，這多麼高貴啊？Pornhub是一家免費視頻網站，它們就是靠上傳的內容而獲得廣告收入，從而盈利。這個事實似乎就無關了，是嗎？
Wrong.
才不是。
We can’t be the only ones who see through this sad attempt to thinly disguise profiting off of sexual exploitation. It’s obvious that they are capitalizing on the idea of a charitable cause just to get people to watch more porn and exploit themselves, all in the name of a 「good cause.」
我們不可能是唯一看穿這種試圖掩蓋從性剝削中獲利的可悲嘗試。顯而易見，他們是打著慈善公益的幌子，讓人們觀看更多色情內容，通過剝削他們而獲利。而這一切都是以「公益事業」的名義。
