湯姆:嗨,我是湯姆。
Jess: And I'm Jess. We're from the UK.
杰茜:我是杰茜。我們兩個來自英國。
Tom: The environment is a big issue at the moment. Jess, do you have any advice how to help the environment?
湯姆:現(xiàn)在環(huán)境問題是個嚴重的問題。杰茜,你對改善環(huán)境有什么建議嗎?
Jess: Yeah, I think it's really important to remember to turn things off, so when you're brushing your teeth, there's not need to keep the tap running all the time, and remember to turn off lights and air-conditioning units when you leave the room. How about you, Tom, any advice?
杰茜:有。我認為真正重要的是要記得切斷供應,比如刷牙時不用一直開著水龍頭,在離開房間時要記得關燈還有關掉空調(diào)。你呢,湯姆,你有什么建議嗎?
Tom: Well, that's good to know, I think new technology is helping people to protect the environment more and more. For examples, computers mean that we use less paper, and there are all kinds of things coming off the market that stop us from using quite so many resources.
湯姆:謝謝你的提醒,我認為新技術會幫助人們更好地保護環(huán)境。比如,用電腦辦公意味著我們會減少紙張的使用,進入市場的各種新技術使我們得以減少資源的使用量。
Jess: Absolutely.
杰茜:完全正確。
