2. I just wanted to tell you about some of the recent changes we've made to the garden at the back of the complex, which we all have access to.[qh]
2、我只是想告訴你一些最近我們對整個建筑群后方的花園的改造，我們都能去那兒。[qh]
As you know, there are some attractive and well-established plants in there and we didn't want to take any of these out.[qh]
正如你們所知，在這里有一些很迷人的植物，栽種得很好，我們不想把它們除掉。[qh]
But many of these are struggling in the harsh sun, which falls directly on that area.[qh]
但很多植物都在烈日下備受折磨，陽光直射此區域。[qh]
To solve this we're going to plant trees along the western edge of the garden, just near the pond.[qh]
為了解決這個問題，我們打算沿著花園西部邊緣種樹，就在池塘旁邊。[qh]
This should also become a very pleasant place to sit and watch the ducks in the water.[qh]

B: OK, it would certainly make it look a bit more interesting.[qh]
B：好的，肯定能讓它看起來更有趣了。[qh]
4. Studying ice cores in the South Pole can tell us a lot about the past climate, which, in turn, can help us understand how today's climate is changing.[qh]
4、在南極研究冰芯能告訴我們過去的氣候，反過來，也有助于讓我們弄懂今天的氣候是怎樣變化的。[qh]
My particular area of study is snow. While we scientists understand the process of how snow is created, very little is known about how snow interacts with the atmosphere and influences our weather patterns.[qh]
我具體的研究領域是雪。我們這些科學家明白雪形成的過程，但對于雪與大氣的互動，以及對氣候規律的形象，我們知之甚少。[qh]
One of the things we're trying to do is to link what we already know about meteorology and clouds and determine the impact that snow has on that.[qh]
我們正在嘗試的其中一項工作是把我們已知的氣象學知識與云朵方面的知識聯系起來，確定雪對此的影響。 [qh]
