環(huán)境在你們國(guó)家是個(gè)大問(wèn)題嗎？政府為治理環(huán)境做了什么
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)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(xué)物質(zhì)涌入河流，成噸的農(nóng)藥被噴灑在土壤上...
 
B: it's terrible! We are destroying the earth!
 
太糟糕了!我們?cè)跉绲厍?
 
A: you're right. Is the environment a big issue in your country?
 
是啊,環(huán)境在你們國(guó)家是個(gè)大問(wèn)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(méi)有那么嚴(yán)重,我們國(guó)家沒(méi)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(guó)是個(gè)大問(wèn)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(yán)重得多。你想過(guò)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(shuō)做環(huán)境難民?那說(shuō)起來(lái)容易,可是我出生在這兒,而且我喜歡這個(gè)城市.
 
B: but living here can't be good for your health.
 
但是住在這里對(duì)你的健康沒(méi)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(méi)有辦法啊!現(xiàn)在很少有城市沒(méi)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(gè)問(wèn)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(jué)得單靠一個(gè)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(rèn)為所有的政府應(yīng)該共同努力來(lái)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(jué)得也不能全依靠政府,我們每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該盡自己一份力.
 
B: what do you think we ordinary people can do to protect the environment?
 
你認(rèn)為我們普通人能做些什么來(lái)保護(hù)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(guò)我要開(kāi)始騎自行車(chē)了,這更有助于鍛煉身體.
 
A: there you go!
 
主意不錯(cuò)!
