Jessica, we're been waiting for you!
杰西卡，我們一直在等你！
Sorry, I'm late for dinner, dad. I was looking at the website for a great organization called Living Green.
對不起，爸爸，我晚飯遲到了。我在看一個叫“綠色生活”的偉大組織的網站。
Living Green? What does that mean? I don't even like that colour.
綠色生活？什么意思？我甚至不喜歡綠色。
It means taking responsibility for protecting the earth. We had a guest speaker today in the science class, and he mentioned some simple ways to reduce our energy use and protect the earth.
它的意思是要承擔保護地球的責任。我們今天的科學課上有一位特邀演說家，他提到了一些減少能源使用和保護地球的簡單方法。
Like what?
比如說呢？
OK, well, first of all, he said we should cut down on driving. So we'd better walk, ride bicycle, or take public transportation.
好的，嗯，首先，他說我們應該少開車。所以我們最好步行、騎自行車，或者乘坐公共交通工具。
I would do those things if I could.
那些事情如果我能做，我會做的。
Another idea was to turn off unnecessary lights. Look at this house -- lights on in every room! He also advised us to wash our clothes in cold water.
另一個辦法是關掉不用的燈。看看這所房子——每個房間的燈都亮著！他還建議我們用冷水洗衣服。
Cool! I never realized how simple it could be to ... What did you call it? Live Green?
酷！我從來沒有想過它會這么簡單……你叫它什么？綠色生活嗎？
Yeah! The speaker said that if everyone did even one of these things every day, it would do a lot to reduce global warming.
是啊！那位演說家說，如果每個人每天都只做其中的一件事就能大大地減少全球變暖。
I agree. That will also save money on the electric bill.
我同意。那樣還能節省電費。
