Clean air is important to good health. If the air contains impurities, they may be absorbed by our bodies and make us ill. We need clean air, but unfortunately, air pollution is generally present, especially in cities.
清洁的空气对于健康是很重要的。空气中含有杂质,这些杂质会被我们的身体吸收,使人生病。我们需要清洁的空气,但不幸的是目前普遍存在着空气污染,尤其是在城市里。
Our cities have many factories, which we need to make food products, clothing and many other things. Every day these factories pour millions upon millions of tons of smoke and soot into the air. Power plants that burn coal add greatly to air pollution.
城市里有许多制造食品、衣服和其他东西的工厂。每天这些工厂将会把千百万吨的烟灰排入空气中。燃煤的发电厂也大大加重了空气污染。
Things made in factories wear out after a while and are thrown away as trash. We burn a lot of trash. More smoke and soot. And then there are the cars made in factories. Once they are out on the street, the cars will take in air and replace it with poisonous gases. Again, more smoke and soot.
工厂制造的东西过一个时期就用坏了,然后就作为垃圾扔掉。我们烧掉许多垃圾,烟灰就增多了。还有工厂制造的汽车。汽车一旦出厂在街上行驶,将会吸进空气,排出有毒的气体,再次增加空气中的烟尘。
No area in the world is completely free of air pollution. We must take measures to control it.
世界上还没有一个完全摆脱空气污染的地区。我们必须采取些措施来控制空气污染。
Now, more and more people are realizing the importance of clean air. Schools are now teaching about the pollution problem. Industries are beginning to help to clean up. They are installing equipment to clean up their smoke. Scientists and inventors are trying to develop cleaner engines for cars and trains, someday we may drive cars with electricity. A new kind of paper that will dissolve in water and be not need to be burned. A new kind of glass bottle that will melt in sunlight and disappear is being developed in some countries.
现在越来越多的人意识到净化空气的重要性。学校现在正在教有关污染的问题。企业界在帮着净化空气,他们安装上了特别的设备来净化烟雾。科学家和发明者们正努力开发汽车和火车的净化器。终有一天我们可以驾驶着电力汽车。会有一种新型的纸,在水里溶化而不需要燃烧。一些国家正在开发研制一种新型的会在阳光下熔化和消失的玻璃瓶。
Perhaps the day will come when people will be able to breathe clean air in cities.
或许,人们在城市里能呼吸新鲜空气的日子将会到来。
