Hey, Mark, maybe we could go swimming in the river later this afternoon.
嗨,馬克,或許今天下午晚些時(shí)候我們可以去河里游泳。
I don't think I want to go, Tony.
托尼,我覺得我不想去。
Why not?
為什么不想去?
I was there last weekend and the river was really dirty. Even the bottom of the river was full of rubbish, and there were no more fish for fishermen to catch.
我上周末去過了,那條河非常的臟。甚至河底都滿是垃圾,漁民也再也抓不到魚了。
No way! It used to be so clean. In fact, it has always been the nicest river in this town.
不可能!這條河過去很干凈。事實(shí)上,它一直是鎮(zhèn)上最美的河。
Not anymore. I think people are throwing litter into the river. Factories are also putting waste into the river.
不再是了。我認(rèn)為是人們在往里邊扔垃圾。工廠也往河里排污。
That's terrible! We should write to the government. They should close down the factories.
太糟糕了!我們應(yīng)該給政府寫信。他們應(yīng)該關(guān)閉這些工廠。
Good idea! But I think everyone in this town should help to clean up the river, too. Everyone should play a part, not just the government.
好主意!但是我認(rèn)為鎮(zhèn)上的每個(gè)人也都應(yīng)該幫助清理河流。每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該參與,而不是僅靠政府。
