情景对话

Enam: Katia, what are the environmental problems in your country?
伊纳姆:卡蒂亚,你们国家有什么环境问题?
Katia: Well, I can think of three problems. One is water drought. The scarcity of water. Second, we have a lot of air pollution, and third a lot of deforestation.
卡蒂亚:我可以想到的有三个问题kS;u_A%c2Nu。第一个问题是干旱t13RIxqjH_xdfJ@I-。水资源短缺#ECL[BRSopF]1L。第二个问题是空气污染严重vV#-2K8ZqMCEQvH。第三个问题是砍伐森林d,ap7W(ruS*VP#ILh
Enam: OK, so can you tell me about deforestation in your country?
伊纳姆:好,你能说一下你们国家砍伐森林的情况吗?
Katia: Well, Mexico is big and we have areas that have a lot of trees, but unfortunately many factories have been moving into that area in particular and they take down the trees. That has been happening for so long that the areas have increased and because of that a lot of indigenous are displaced as well as a lot the animals have died or it has decreased so unfortunately that has been a big problem in certain parts of Mexico, but then of course there are some things that are being done. For example, the government has placed certain areas that are to remain untouched and also they are bringing more trees in certain areas and planting them and hopefully it will bring the green area back to where it was before.
卡蒂亚:墨西哥非常大,我们有树木茂盛的地区,不过不幸的是,许多工厂搬到了那个地区,所以他们就把树砍了hQkk!4[jL)d。这种情况持续了很长时间,现在该地区的问题越来越严重,许多土著居民流离失所,大量动物死亡,所以很不幸,这是墨西哥特定地区一直存在的严重问题,不过当然这些问题正在被解决)f&dGR@#X^0Dt5OJDi。举例来说,政府规定特定地区要保持原貌,同时种了更多的树,希望让这些地区的绿化情况回到以前D),t^e.7h7Y7pUvhkbl
Enam: Really, that's good. But how bad is the water scarcity problem?
伊纳姆:这很好VVyj|B;;h@CHy#i[。那水资源短缺的情况有多严重?
Katia: Well, water scarcity I think is one of the major problems Mexico has. For example, I can just talk about Mexico city. Mexico City was built on top of a lake and we Mexicans have been using the water from the lake to supply our water needs but this has been going on for so long that we basically use all the water that was left and now we trying to figure out where to bring water from. This is a big problem that Mexico faces. We don't have many wells that we can get water from. And unfortunately also a big problem is with the piping system a lot of lakes and actually a big percentage of our water is lost through leaks. What is being done about that problem? Well, first, they're fixing the pipes. That's a basic way to start. Also, we are only allowed to use water certain days of the week to water our garden or wash our trees or wash our cars and so yeah, and I think the Mexicans are becoming more conscious on how to use water, so I think hopefully that will help with the water scarcity problem.
卡蒂亚:我想水资源短缺是墨西哥面临的重要问题之一VN07PAQISD**I&Z8|&[。以墨西哥城为例#W4)yZcw1DTloo22[isb。墨西哥城坐落在一个湖上,我们墨西哥人一直用那座湖里的水满足我们的用水需求,我们这种做法持续了很长时间,所以我们几乎用光了湖里仅剩的水资源,现在我们正在努力寻找其他水资源86cl,R&gg=。这是墨西哥面临的一个严重问题7FH#*]ABK%^^A[N[Ji2=。我们没有太多可以取水的水井l.7[e7+U1aj1yt。不幸的是,大量湖泊的管道系统存在严重问题,所以我们的大部分水资源因渗漏而损失5c-qMcXScMAetG。这个问题要如何解决?首先,他们要修理管道=kCId3&5Fgg]IrE~mL。这是基本方法]ugw42;4[573。另外,按规定,我们只能在一周内的特定日子中浇花和洗车,我认为墨西哥人越来越关注如何使用水资源,我希望这能有助于缓解水资源短缺问题nhHwNrm]+29Fw^PjaF4
Enam: And what about air pollution?
伊纳姆:那空气污染问题呢?
Katia: Well, actually we also have the air pollution problem, and if you go to Mexico, if it's any day of the week, from Monday to Friday, it's very hard to see the sun. It's always very cloudy. Your skin becomes very dirty actually, and it's very hard to breathe because of the high contamination. There are many cars: too many cars that is really hard to breathe, and you can tell that also by sun. Saturday and Sunday. you can actually see the sun because a lot of the people are not driving since it's the weekend, and also it was said that you could measure the pollution of Mexico City by counting how many dead birds you can find on the streets because of the high contamination, but yeah unfortunately a very bad situation however Mexico has put some rules that if you have a car, you can only drive on certain days of the week, and that anytime so hopefully that has ... that will help in the future to prevent much more contamination and of course there are other things that have been done. There are more parks to help with the pollution, but yeah, I think this is the main thing they have done regarding the transportation. Just preventing people from driving as much as they want.
卡蒂亚:实际上我们也有空气污染问题,如果你去墨西哥,每周的周一至周五,任何一天都很难见到太阳OJmYn=m9sES8oT。每天都是阴阴的.mDVfO1B,=oPL*xgt~。这种情况下你的皮肤也会越来越暗淡,而且因为污染严重人们很难呼吸D41WX.HzenyDZOSdl^i。路上有很多车,因为车太多了,所以很难呼吸,从阳光的情况就能看出来xc,Nk(CxGsbpMC]。周六和周日可以看到太阳,因为周末有很多人都不开车,据说可以通过计算路上死鸟的数量来衡量墨西哥城的污染程度,这些鸟因污染致死,所以很不幸,污染情况很严重,不过墨西哥出台了一系列措施,车主只能在一周的特定日子开车上路,希望这些措施可以预防未来更多的污染情况,当然还有其他治理污染的措施knXZkUn4Pl;c;-。为了治理污染,建造了许多停车场,我认为这是他们在交通问题上做出的主要举措AGO;N9zhem@Zf7%。只要让人们减少开车次数就好了O9AXrC!Tl)Z.f!;EiW
