Yael,We're always hearing that the ozone layer is being depleted, and how bad this is because we need it to protect us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
雅艾尔,我们常听说臭氧层正在逐渐消失的消息,这可不是件好事 。因为臭氧层保护我们人类免受太阳过量的紫外线侵害 。
But I've been thinking, and there has to be a more effective way to restore the ozone layer than just by sitting around not releasing any more harmful chemicals into the air so the ozone has a chance to repair itself.
但是,我一直在考虑,比起不再释放任何有害化学物质到空气中静观其变而言,我们可以采取有效措施修复破坏的臭氧层 。
Ok, like what? Well, how hard could it be to make more ozone ?
有何高见?制造更多的臭氧层应该不难吧?
we must have a plenty of material.
我们必须有大量的原料 。
After all the ozone molecule contains three oxygen atoms-and the oxygen molecules we breathe contain two oxygen atoms, so can't we just use that oxygen to produce a bunch of ozone ourselves and stick it back up in the atmosphere?
毕竟,所有的臭氧分子由三个氧原子组成;我们呼吸的氧分子包含两个氧原子 。这样,我们可以自己用氧气制造臭氧,以此替代破坏的臭氧层圈 。
