The best way to solve environmental problems caused by consumer-generated waste is for towns and cities to impose strict limits on the amount of trash they will accept from each household.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.

五問：

（1）命題中說到的方法一定是“ best way”嗎？對于任何城市、任何人都是最好的嗎？

（2）嚴格限制每家每戶的垃圾量有什么好處？有什么壞處？例如：可以鼓勵垃圾回收；但可能會給生活帶來不便，甚至會出現(xiàn)有人偷倒垃圾的現(xiàn)象。

（3）你能說說消費者產(chǎn)生的垃圾為什么會造成環(huán)境問題嗎？除了數(shù)量多，還有其他原因嗎？例如：對垃圾的處理不當。

（4）只限制垃圾的數(shù)量就能解決其引發(fā)的環(huán)境問題嗎？如果只減少了可回收的垃圾，污染較嚴重的垃圾依舊存在，能解決環(huán)境問題嗎？如果問題是由于人們亂倒垃圾引起的，限制數(shù)量有用嗎？

（5）除了命題中提到的方法，你還能想出其他建議嗎？例如：提高人們的環(huán)保意識、提倡垃圾分類、垃圾有效處理等。

翻譯練習：

因為政府沒有給予環(huán)保問題太大的關(guān)注，所以我們本來應該更加清潔、更加漂亮的居住環(huán)境已經(jīng)遭到了嚴重的污染（用 would have done結(jié)構(gòu)）。

參考答案：

Since the government had not given much attention to the issue of environmental protection, our living environment, which would have been much cleaner and more beautiful, has been seriously polluted.
