Pollution has become a social problem in today's world because people in an increasingly populated and industrialized world are polluting the environment in which they live.The growing population increases the demands for the world s limited water and land.This rise in population is followed by more and more people's desire for a better standard of living.So the greater need for electricity,water and merchandise will inevitably bring about more waste materials that need to be disposed of.The problem has raised increasing concern for creatures and their environment.

1.人口越來越多，社會(huì)也越來越工業(yè)化:此處可以不用翻譯為比較句，可用increasingly“越來越多”來表示，譯為an increasingly populated and industrialized world。

2.人口增長增加了人們對(duì)世界上有限的水和土地的需求:“…的需求可用the demands for...表示。與demand搭配的常用短語還有:market demand(市場需求、domestic demand(內(nèi)需、aesthetic demand (審美需求)expand the domestic demand(擴(kuò)大內(nèi)需)。

3.這個(gè)問題已經(jīng)引起人們對(duì)生物及其環(huán)境的日益關(guān)注:“引起對(duì)...的關(guān)注可用raise concern for".表示。concern常與其他詞構(gòu)成詞組，例如:arouse/draw public concern(起公共關(guān)注)。
