How to have a low carbon living?Well,saving energy is very important.We can walk to work,or ride bicycle,we’d better not take the lift,we can also use less napkins4 to protect the forest and we can use replace air conditioners.We can also eat less meat,because lamb and beef are also the things which make green house gases,so if you want to lose weight,then eat more vegetables! If the companies and schools all over China can carry out the concept of low carbon living,we will save over one million tons of paper every year!And you can make use of the “Earth hour” to save energy,turn off the light and sit quiet to get a rest for an hour!That’s also a very good way to protect the earth. Low carbon living is beside us,beside everyone,so now let’s get moving! 美文翻译 地球在哭泣———低碳生活 当今,“低碳生活”变得日趋流行。因为这是我们当今必须面对的一个问题,那么为什么我们必须要低碳生活?这是因为全球变暖。人类向空中排放了大量的二氧化碳,这些二氧化碳将破坏臭氧,这使太阳光直接照射在地球两极,这使冰山快速融化,致使海平面上升,像日本、夏威夷和印度尼西亚这些岛屿也将因为全球变暖而消失,因此低碳生活可以减缓全球变暖的进程。 如何低碳生活?节省能源是很重要的。我们可以步行或骑自行车去上班。最好不要坐电梯。为了保护我们的森林,尽量少用餐巾纸。用扇子代替空调。我们也要少吃肉,因为羊肉和牛肉也能产生温室气体,所以,如果你想减肥,多吃蔬菜。 如果全中国的公司和学校都贯彻执行低碳生活的理念,我们每年将会节省一百万吨纸!你可以利用地球一小时活动来节约能源,关灯静坐休息一小时!这也是保护地球的一个好方法。 低碳生活就在我们身边,现在让我们行动起来吧! 词海拾贝 1.global [??l??bl] adj. 全球的 2.ozone [???z??n] n.臭氧 3.iceberg [?aIsb???] n. 冰山 4.napkin [?n?pkIn] n.餐巾纸 难句剖析 1.Because this is the problem that we have to face today,and why will we have a “Low carbon living”? 因为这是一个我们当今必须面对的一个问题,那么为什么我们必须要低碳生活? because引导原因状语从句,that we have to face today为定语从句。 2.We can also eat less meat,because lamb and beef are also the things which make green house gases,so if you want to lose weight,then eat more vegetables! 我们也要少吃肉,因为羊肉和牛肉也能产生温室气体,所以,如果你想减肥,多吃蔬菜。 句中because引导原因状语从句,which make green house gases为定语从句。 理解诱思 1.Whic ... ...
