水資源短缺

No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.

沒(méi)有人能注意到，水資源短缺是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題，全世界都面臨著這樣的問(wèn)題。事實(shí)上，它已變得非常普遍，它嚴(yán)重影響了人們的日常生活，阻礙了全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。

A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical ones. First, with the development of agriculture and industry, an increasing amount of water is needed. Secondly, the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides, the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. What’s worse, pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.

許多因素可以解釋這個(gè)問(wèn)題，但以下可能是關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題。首先，隨著農(nóng)業(yè)和工業(yè)的發(fā)展，越來(lái)越多的水是必要的。其次，不斷增長(zhǎng)的人口是另一個(gè)導(dǎo)致水資源短缺的主要原因。此外，全球變暖的趨勢(shì)也有助于這個(gè)問(wèn)題。更糟的是，污染和浪費(fèi)淡水加劇了局勢(shì)。

In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly, people should enhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to expect a brighter future.

考慮到問(wèn)題的嚴(yán)重性，在事態(tài)惡化之前，必須采取有效的措施。首先，制定和執(zhí)行法律法規(guī)，保護(hù)水資源是十分必要的。其次，人們應(yīng)該提高他們的節(jié)水意識(shí)。有了這些措施，我們有理由期待一個(gè)更光明的未來(lái)。
