Voice 1: The sun beats down. It is a hot dry day. A man is working in a field. It is tiring work — the ground is hard and difficult to dig. He stops for a short time. His body is suffering. He has lost a lot of water through his skin. Now he is dehydrated. He needs a drink. He stands under a nearby tree. He finds his water bottle and lifts it to his mouth. He takes long deep swallows.
聲音1:陽光直射。這是炎熱又干燥的一天。一個男人正在田地里干活。這是十分累人的活,土地很硬,很難挖。他停止了干活。他的身體很疼。他出了很多汗?,F在他處于脫水狀態。他需要喝水。他站在附近的樹下。找到水瓶后放到了嘴邊。他喝了很多水。
Voice 2: The water tastes good. There is nothing like a cool drink of water on a hot day. But for many people that drink may cost them their lives. Over one billion people in the world live without a clean water supply. Over two million people die each year from health problems related to drinking dirty water. Experts estimate that six thousand children die each day from conditions caused by dirty water.
聲音2:水的味道不錯。在這種炎熱的日子里,沒有什么比冰水更好了。但是對許多人來說,喝水可能會讓他們付出生命。全世界有超過10億人無法獲得清潔水源。每年有200余萬人死于污水相關疾病。專家預計,每天有6000名兒童因飲用不潔凈的水而導致死亡。
