時差N小時:制造新臭氧(上) Manufacture ozone

Yael,We're always hearing that the ozone layer isbeing depleted, and how bad this is because we needit to protect us from the sun's harmful ultravioletrays.

雅艾爾，我們常聽說臭氧層正在逐漸消失的消息，這可不是件好事。因為臭氧層保護我們?nèi)祟惷馐芴栠^量的紫外線侵害。

But I've been thinking, and there has to be a moreeffective way to restore the ozone layer than justby sitting around not releasing any more harmfulchemicals into the air so the ozone has a chance torepair itself.

但是，我一直在考慮，比起不再釋放任何有害化學(xué)物質(zhì)到空氣中靜觀其變而言，我們可以采取有效措施修復(fù)破壞的臭氧層。Ok, like what? Well, how hard could itbe to make more ozone ?

有何高見?制造更多的臭氧層應(yīng)該不難吧?

we must have a plenty of material.

我們必須有大量的原料。

After all the ozone molecule contains three oxygen atoms-and the oxygen molecules webreathe contain two oxygen atoms, so can't we just use that oxygen to produce a bunch ofozone ourselves and stick it back up in the atmosphere?

畢竟，所有的臭氧分子由三個氧原子組成;我們呼吸的氧分子包含兩個氧原子。這樣，我們可以自己用氧氣制造臭氧，以此替代破壞的臭氧層圈。
