環(huán)境在你們國家是個大問題嗎？政府為治理環(huán)境做了什么
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Look at these pictures: dark dense smoke rolling up to the sky, chemicals pouring into the river, and tons of pesticides being sprayed on the soil...
 
看看這些照片：黑色的濃煙滾滾而上，化學物質涌入河流，成噸的農藥被噴灑在土壤上...
 
B: it's terrible! We are destroying the earth!
 
太糟糕了!我們在毀滅地球.
 
A: you're right. Is the environment a big issue in your country?
 
是啊,環(huán)境在你們國家是個大問題嗎？
 
B: it is. But the pollution isn't as bad. My country has much less industry.
 
 
是的,但是污染并沒有那么嚴重,我們國家沒那么多工廠.
 
A: I see. Pollution is a big problem in China, especially in the cities.
 
我明白了。污染在中國是個大問題，尤其是在城市。
 
B: the air here is much more polluted than in my hometown. Ever think about moving somewhere cleaner?
 
這里的空氣比我家鄉(xiāng)的污染嚴重得多。你想過搬到更干凈的地方嗎？
 
A: you mean almost like an environmental refugee? That's easier said than done. I was born here and I love this city.
 
你說做環(huán)境難民?那說起來容易,可是我出生在這兒,而且我喜歡這個城市.
 
B: but living here can't be good for your health.
 
但是住在這里對你的健康沒有好處。
 
A: I know what you mean, but it can't be avoided. There are very few places left unaffected.
 
我明白你的意思,但是也沒有辦法啊!現在很少有城市沒被污染.
 
B: has your government done anything to try to solve the problem?
 
那你們的政府為解決這個問題做了什么嗎？
 
A: yes, but I don't think it alone can do enough to reverse the trend.
 
有啊,但是我覺得單靠一個政府的努力是不夠的.
 
B: you're right. I think all countries should work together to clean the world.
 
是這樣,我認為所有的政府應該共同努力來治理環(huán)境.
 
A: yeah, I could not agree more but we can't just leave it to the governments. Everyone needs to do their part.
 
完全同意，但是我覺得也不能全依靠政府,我們每個人都應該盡自己一份力.
 
B: what do you think we ordinary people can do to protect the environment?
 
你認為我們普通人能做些什么來保護環(huán)境？
 
A: oh, there are lots of things that can be done. Taking public transport is a start.
 
有很多事情可以做啊,比如乘坐公共交通工具.
 
B: good idea, but I think I'll start riding my bike instead. It's better exercise.
 
好主意,不過我要開始騎自行車了,這更有助于鍛煉身體.
 
A: there you go!
 
主意不錯!
