A：Is the air pollution serious in your place?
B：It used to be, but the government has been working hard to improve it recently. So now, we can see the blue sky in Beijing again.
A：Many efforts have been made for a better environment, such as the "No Car Day".
B：Sure. We all have to be aware of energy saving and environmental protection.
A：What can you do to protect the environment?
B：First, I'll try my best to protect it. Second, I'll ask the people around me to also do it.
A：It is easier said than done. I am curious to see how far you can go.
B：OK. We'll bet on it.
A：你那里的空氣污染嚴(yán)重嗎?
B：曾經(jīng)很嚴(yán)重，不過政府近些年做了很多努力來改善空氣質(zhì)量。所以現(xiàn)在，我們又能看見北京藍(lán)色的天空了。
A：大家都在為改善環(huán)境做著努力，比如說"無車日"。
B：是呀。我們必須注意節(jié)約能源和保護(hù)環(huán)境。
A：你打算怎樣保護(hù)環(huán)境?
B：首先，我會(huì)盡自己的努力。然后，我會(huì)告訴周圍的人也保護(hù)環(huán)境。
A：說來容易做來難。我倒是好奇你能進(jìn)展到什么程度。
B：好啊。那我們打賭吧。
A：The air in Beijing is seriously polluted. Look! I can even see the floating dirt overhead.
B：Yes, air pollution in China is extremely serious, especially in cities with heavy industry.
A：Isn't there any protecting measures adopted by the government for the sake of people's health?
B：There are many, but some depurating devices are not so effective. Some effective devices are so expensive that manufacturers can't afford them.
A：That's it. Then why not consider reducing some heavy industries?
B：It's pretty hard! China is a developing country and needs heavy industries to increase its GDP.
A：How about transferring some plants to suburbs?
B：Good idea!
A：There is a low population density in suburbs, and the harm to people is also slight.
B：However, it brings great inconvenience.
A：Like what?
B：For example, transportation. Many people live in the city, but they have to commute to work every day. Then they will spend too much time on the road.
A：Oh, that's really a problem.
B：Every coin has two sides.
A：北京空氣污染很嚴(yán)重。瞧!我甚至能看到頭頂上漂浮著的塵土。
B：是的，中國的空氣污染相當(dāng)嚴(yán)重，尤其是一些重工業(yè)城市。
A：為了人民的健康，難道政府沒有采取一些保護(hù)措施嗎?
B：采取過很多措施，但很多凈化設(shè)施效果不明顯。有效的設(shè)備又特別昂貴，很多廠家都支付不起。
A：確實(shí)。那么為什么不減少一些重工業(yè)?
B：這很難。中國是發(fā)展中國家，特別需要重工業(yè)來增加國民生產(chǎn)總值。
A：把一些工廠遷到郊區(qū)怎么樣?
B：是個(gè)好主意!
A：郊區(qū)人口密度小，因而給人們帶來的影響也小。
B：但是，將工廠遷到郊區(qū)會(huì)帶來很多不便。
A：比如說?
B：比如交通問題。很多人是住在城里的，但是他們又不得不每天去郊區(qū)上班。這樣他們會(huì)花很多時(shí)間在路上。
A：哦，這確實(shí)是一個(gè)問題。
B：事物總有其兩面性的。
A：Where did you go last weekend?
B：To the lake.
A：Did you have fun?
B：Not at all. The water smells so bad. I miss my childhood very much.
A：Why?
B：Because I could catch fish in the river, but now they are all gone.
A：Yes, I hate the polluted water, too.
B：For myself, I hate the people who pollute the water much more than the water.
A：But what are the causes of water pollution? Do you know?
B：Many causes of pollution including sewage and fertilizers contain nutrients.
A：Yes, water pollution affects animals, humans, plants and ecosystems.
B：So we cannot ignore this problem, otherwise it will be difficult for us to live in the future.
A：Certainly. Everyone has the responsibility of protecting the water.
A：你上周末去哪里了?
B：湖邊。
A：玩得好嗎?
B：一點(diǎn)也不好。水臭臭的。我好懷念我的童年。
A：為什么?
B：因?yàn)橐郧拔铱梢栽诤永镒ヴ~，可是現(xiàn)在什么都沒有了。
A：是啊，我也痛恨那些被污染的水。
B：對(duì)我而言，我更痛恨污染水的那些人。
A：但是什么造成的水污染呢?你知道嗎?
B：很多原因，不過主要是污水和肥料中的養(yǎng)分。
A：是呀，水污染會(huì)影響到動(dòng)物、人類、植物和生態(tài)環(huán)境。
B：所以說我們不能忽視這個(gè)問題了，不然有一天我們將無法生存。
A：對(duì)。每個(gè)人都有保護(hù)水的義務(wù)。
A：Where are you going on your trip?
B：I think Hebei is a good place.
A：But I heard the north of China is experiencing severe sandstorms!
B：Really?
A：Yes, it is said that Hebei is experiencing six degree strong winds.
B：How do these storms affect the people who live in these areas?
A：The report said the number of people with respiratory tract infections tended to rise after sandstorms. The sand gets into people's noses and throats and creates irritation.
B：It sounds like sandstorms are trouble for everybody!
A：You are quite right.
A：你要去哪兒度假?
B：我想河北不錯(cuò)。
A：但我聽說中國北部現(xiàn)在有嚴(yán)重的沙塵暴!
B：是真的嗎?
A：是的，據(jù)說河北正刮六級(jí)大風(fēng)。
B：沙塵暴對(duì)生活在這些地區(qū)的人們有什么影響?
A：報(bào)道說沙塵暴過后呼吸道感染的人數(shù)會(huì)增加。沙子進(jìn)入人們的鼻孔和喉嚨后會(huì)使這些器官發(fā)炎。
B：沙塵暴好像給每個(gè)人都帶來了麻煩!
A：你說得很對(duì)。
A：I love this city.
B：So do I.
A：The air here is so fresh, and watching out from the window, your eyes are filled with green.
B：Yeah. That's one of the reasons why I choose to have a vacation in this area.
A：A nice environment is likely to make people feel pleasant and does good things for your health.
B：Exactly. Look at that tiny garden. It must be very comfortable to have a walk there.
A：I agree with you. The surrounding area of mine is not so good.
B：Maybe you could grow some plants at home to beautify your own space.
A：That's a good idea.
A：我喜歡這個(gè)城市。
B：我也是。
A：這兒空氣清新，放眼望去滿眼都是綠色。
B：是啊。這也是我為什么來這兒度假的原因之一。
A：好的環(huán)境能使人心情舒暢，還有益身心健康。
B：就是?？茨莻€(gè)小公園。在里面散步肯定特別舒服。
A：我想是的。我家那兒的環(huán)境就沒這么好。
B：或許你可以在家里種點(diǎn)植物來美化你自己的環(huán)境。
A：好主意。
